The question is just relating to the fact that I have a negative cash balance at the beginning of the year, but I have to stick to the policy that, I must have sufficient inventory on hand at the end of each month, for 6 months.
-So do I have to go and borrow, or I have to sale the item I already purchase it for resale?

You should be selling your inventory for positive cash flow. Also you have to purchase inventory to so you have inventory to resell. If you have a negative cash flow you may have to borrow money from a lending institution so you can purchase inventory.

Sounds like you have to do a purchases budget and/or a cash flow budget.
