B) Noting the fact that the clinic continues to order larger amounts of supplies each month,the company should make certain that its cost of goods sold is not greater than 50% of the price it is charging.
C) Due to the fact that clients are not paying when service is received,the clinic may experience a cash flow crunch;an inability to maintain enough cash to pay for its supplies each month.
D) Preferred Pet Care is doing everything right.It was wise to develop a niche market because senior citizens have greater savings than younger families.This is a good business and recessionary proof.The firm will continue to grow and prosper.
