Horizon BP in Antelope Park, Alaska, has noticed that utility bills are substantially higher when the average monthly temperature is colder. The only thing in the shop that uses natural gas is the furnace. Because of prevailing low temperatures, the furnace is used every month of the year (though less in the summer months and very little in August).

Fresh & Fruity Foods is a mail-order company operating out of a winery near Santa Rosa, California. The company specializes in sending California specialties to catalog customers nationwide. Sales are seasonal, with most occurring in November and December—when people select Fresh & Fruity’s Famous Fruit Fantasy boxes as Christmas gifts. Although seasonal, the company’s sales are fairly predictable, because the bulk of Fresh & Fruity customers are regulars who come back year after year. The company has also managed to smooth out its sales somewhat by offering incentives, such as the Fruit of the Month club, that encourage customers to buy throughout the year.The nature of the mail-order business is such that most of Fresh & Fruity’s sales are on credit; therefore, the company has historically had a high accounts receivable balance relative to sales. It has also historically been short of cash, forcing it to delay payments to suppliers as long as possible (its average…
