Answer to Question 1

The lockbox arrangement is based on a simple procedure. The firm's customers are instructed to mail their remittance
checks not to company headquarters or regional offices, but to a numbered post office box. The bank that is providing
the lockbox service is authorized to open the box, collect the mail, process the checks, and deposit the checks directly
into the company's account. Such a system speeds up the conversion of receipts into usable funds by reducing both the
mail and processing float of payments.

Answer to Question 2

D
