Madeline is the sole proprietor of Maddie's Fine Art and wants to know whether she will have enough funds in her bank account to pay her bills over the next three months. She has $1,000 in her bank account after recently selling a painting, owes $500 to a vendor for paint and canvas, and expects an additional $500 in invoices in the next three months for other supplies. As her accountant, the best feedback you can give Madeline is: Assuming no additional sales over the next three months, Maddie's Fine Art has a current ratio of 1.0 and therefore has the necessary liquidity to pay its vendors. Madeline will need to sell at least one more painting for $500 to cover the invoices due within the next three months as Maddie's Fine art has a current ratio of 0.5. Madeline should consult with a bankruptcy attorney because Maddie's Fine Art has a current ratio of 0.75 and may not be able to pay any or all of its invoices within the next three months. In addition to paying her current invoices, Madeline can go ahead and make advance purchases of more supplies for new art projects as Maddie's Fine Art has a current ratio of 2.0.

At the end of the month, her credit card statement said she only needed to make a minimum monthly payment of $15. Assume Diana makes her payment when she sees her statement at the end of each month. If Diana doesn't charge anything else and only makes the minimum monthly payments, approximately how many months would it take her to completely pay off the DVD player?
