After many simulations <strong>of</strong> making <strong>the</strong> company consume <strong>the</strong> global overdraft each time, this chart represents <strong>the</strong><br />

final result <strong>of</strong> how <strong>the</strong> company’s financial <strong>flow</strong>s and balance would be like. A full consummation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> overdraft,<br />

remembering that <strong>the</strong> company can use <strong>the</strong> overdraft to pay <strong>the</strong> supplier in Cash and <strong>the</strong>n do a sort <strong>of</strong> arbitration<br />

between <strong>the</strong> gained <strong>cash</strong> and <strong>the</strong> financial <strong>flow</strong>s. Still, <strong>the</strong> company has gaps in January, June, July, October,<br />

December, where <strong>the</strong>y can increase <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>cash</strong> and INWI purchases. The fact is that <strong>the</strong> company faces new<br />

investment opportunities, but before jumping into ant new business, <strong>the</strong> company has to verify if <strong>the</strong> company<br />

manages its current <strong>cash</strong> treasury or not, and <strong>the</strong> key to do <strong>the</strong> perfect evaluation is by controlling and managing <strong>the</strong><br />

financial charges or <strong>cash</strong> gain ga<strong>the</strong>red from <strong>the</strong> payment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> supplier.<br />

Based on <strong>the</strong> previous table; <strong>the</strong> company’s financial costs’ situation was represented as followed:<br />

Table n°20 : Company’s Fianancial<br />

Costs with BU1<br />

The financial analysis <strong>of</strong> this results shows that <strong>the</strong> company, according to <strong>the</strong> 2016 elaborated simulation, was able<br />

to make an annual financial product up to 3 063 945,03 DHS with 1 190 383,84 DHS <strong>of</strong> financial costs paid as an<br />

interest amount for <strong>the</strong> both <strong>the</strong> contracted banks. Yet, <strong>the</strong> financial challenge for <strong>the</strong> firm is to have <strong>the</strong> biggest part<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> paid amount paid in Cash; which in this case is represented in 66% <strong>of</strong> <strong>cash</strong> and 34% using <strong>the</strong> overdraft. The<br />

right definition <strong>of</strong> this division is that both are held into <strong>the</strong> same treasury with different rates; <strong>cash</strong> money on 0.5%<br />

financial gain and 5.35% interest rate for <strong>the</strong> overdraft, which leaves <strong>the</strong> company with beneficial margin that allows<br />

it to cover <strong>the</strong> financial charges and make pr<strong>of</strong>it at <strong>the</strong> same time.<br />

The elaborated simulation could take many forms, and all depends on how much <strong>the</strong> company looks for covering <strong>the</strong><br />

financial charges, squeeze <strong>the</strong> overdraft line, use <strong>the</strong> global amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> credit line in o<strong>the</strong>r terms, and make<br />

financial pr<strong>of</strong>it. The goal behind paying in <strong>cash</strong> is so that <strong>the</strong> company could gain 0.5% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> paid amount, but also<br />

it would allow <strong>the</strong> firm to have <strong>the</strong> ability <strong>of</strong> negotiating <strong>the</strong> INWI’s line <strong>of</strong> purchases or <strong>the</strong> “Objective” as we call it<br />

using <strong>the</strong> firm’s terms, and in <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, gain rate points in <strong>the</strong> suppliers’ classification <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> distributers.<br />

Bank, firm and financial direction, take <strong>the</strong> responsibility <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> controlling and managing <strong>the</strong> company’s financial<br />

<strong>flow</strong>s, but <strong>the</strong> only obstacle in this game is that <strong>the</strong> company doesn’t get <strong>the</strong> authority over <strong>the</strong> bank’s decision to<br />

increase or decrease <strong>the</strong> overdraft line, so <strong>the</strong> only way to make it happen is to represent at <strong>the</strong> best position <strong>the</strong><br />

company’s Cash-Plan and increase <strong>the</strong> company’s financial image in front <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> banks. Such a decision <strong>of</strong> negotiating<br />

<strong>the</strong> overdraft line, ei<strong>the</strong>r to increase, decrease or to close definitely <strong>the</strong> account is <strong>of</strong>ten related to <strong>the</strong> company’s<br />

realized in<strong>flow</strong>s or out<strong>flow</strong>s; where using <strong>the</strong> in<strong>flow</strong>s is to prove <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>cash</strong> deposits that <strong>the</strong> company realize<br />

inside <strong>the</strong> company’s bank account or <strong>the</strong> out<strong>flow</strong>s to show how <strong>the</strong> company use <strong>the</strong> bank’s overdraft line to pay<br />

<strong>the</strong> charges. All in all, <strong>the</strong> arbitration between <strong>the</strong> lines obliged <strong>the</strong> company to maximize at <strong>the</strong> best <strong>the</strong> consumption<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> overdraft line in one hand and on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand to minimize <strong>the</strong> costs that <strong>the</strong> company face or to increase<br />

<strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> overdraft during <strong>the</strong> week, month or year in order to show to <strong>the</strong> bank that <strong>the</strong> overdraft <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bank<br />

account is not enough to cover all <strong>the</strong> company’s charges.<br />

The company faced a new opportunity <strong>of</strong> investing, and as it’s known, every opportunity <strong>of</strong> investing comes with <strong>the</strong><br />

chances <strong>of</strong> paying double or extra charges, <strong>the</strong> thing that requires for <strong>the</strong> company to elaborate a financial study<br />

before implanting any new financial <strong>flow</strong>s inside <strong>the</strong> company, for that, <strong>the</strong> company added a new treasury<br />

independent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r but based on <strong>the</strong> financial current situation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company. The new investment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

company wouldn’t make <strong>the</strong> company stable financially only, but it could also break <strong>the</strong> trust with banks if <strong>the</strong><br />
