c. By what amount could Prestopino reduce its working capital financing needs if it was able to stretch its payables deferral period to 35 days?

d. Prestopino's management is trying to analyze the effect of a proposed new production preocess on its working captial investment.

Assuming the change does not affect the av erage collection period (40 days) or the payables deferral period (30 days), what will be the length of its cash conversion cycle and its working captial financing requirement if the new production proccess is implemented?
