Originally posted by Tom Lusk Stewart- are you saying the funds to pay the rebates are generated by the interest paid on short term deposits consisting of the actual rebate monies?
Well, since Jack basically answered your question, I'll add that things are often a bit more complicated then that - monies transferred to and from other company accounts, tax laws impacting these special accounts, and so on. But, ultimately, the money for rebates are typically offset by the interest on the funds deposited.
