        Which of the following examples would best be described as a drag on liquidity?

        • Early payment to creditors
        • A delinquent account receivable
        • A reduced line of credit

          Doesn’t a reduced line of credit mean that it’s difficult to get credit now which is an unexpected reduction in money coming in?

              In basic terms, for a company to be liquid, money must come in before it
              goes out. There are 2 potential difficulties; drags and pulls. A drag is when
              the money doesn’t come in when expected (such as an account receivable
              being late
               or uncollectible). A pull is when the money must go out
              sooner than expected (such as a reduced line of credit, or early payments).
