WHAT IS IN THE ARCHIVE

1. The book's four workbooks
   What_a_Payment_Term_Costs.xlsx     Chapters 12 to 16, the quote calculator
   The_Order_and_the_Six_Routes.xlsx  Chapters 1 to 3
   The_Credit_and_the_Documents.xlsx  Chapters 6, 7 and 8
   The_Cost_of_the_Money.xlsx         Chapters 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11
   00_START_HERE.md                   what changed is at the end
   580 checks, all passing: the book's 555 and 25 added to the fourth
   workbook for what the book names and does not compute.

2. Blank_Model_Set/  (new)
   The four workbooks with every input emptied, for your own order. Each
   checks sheet counts what is still missing and tests what holds for any
   inputs. The book's figures are in book_inputs.txt: type them back in
   and the book's results come back.

3. Working_Documents.pdf  (new)
   Twelve printable pages: the order on one page, six routes at one term,
   what each route leaves you holding, the collection instruction, reading
   the credit the day it is advised, a refusal advice in the first hour,
   the confirmation break-even, a discount quote converted and compared, a
   receivables purchase before you sign, the terms page, which input moves
   the answer, and before you quote. A4, fits Letter.

4. Forty_Questions.xlsx  (new)
   Forty questions across the book, marked by the file as you type.

5. Cases/  (new)
   Case_1_The_Line_In_The_Credit.xlsx             Chapters 13 and 14
   Case_2_The_Facility_That_Runs_Out.xlsx         Chapters 4, 10 and 11
   Case_3_When_The_Confirmation_Stops_Working.xlsx Chapter 7
   Each case: the note on the first sheet, the model after it, checks at the end.

The files open in Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets and Numbers. No macros.
