From the schedule of receivables of Rolly Ltd., this is observed that Account No. 90 and Account No. 141 are currently overdue and for Account No. 173 the average payment period exceeds 40 days so these accounts does not fulfill the credit eligibility criterion of bank and hence, the Account Nos. 90, 141 and 173 are eliminated for the purpose of calculation of credit.
