c. they may not have enough cash flow to replenish their inventory

By offering zero percent credit for new purchases, the company is essentially extending credit to customers without immediate cash payment. This can tie up their cash flow, making it difficult to purchase inventory or cover other operational expenses in the short term. As a result, they may face challenges in managing their working capital and maintaining smooth operations.
