What is meant by spontaneous financing?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Certain types of financing typically increase "spontaneously" with sales and are "free" in the sense that no interest expense is incurred. Examples: Inventory typically increases with sales and accounts payable increase with inventory. Accounts payable are interest-free loans provided by the firm's vendors to finance inventory purchases. Also, as sales increase, we would expect payroll, and therefore accrued salaries and wages payable to increase. Accrued wages and salaries are interest-free loans from employees to their employers.
