So it seems that once you fail with a pic you can't edit the picture, so I'll try again

John, check "Cash Transfers" in the corporation financial tables.

It could be that your corp transferred the excess cash to the parent entity (country or enterprise).

My corporations transfer cash when they hit 100B, and cash drops to 80-85B.

I dont know about production though, Do you have 100% hiring? Supplies?

This is a public corp and the cash went to the shareholders.
The production was constant, so no shortages.
The value of supplies did not increase 20 B$.
So where did the 20 B$ loss in profit go?

Maybe public corps treat dividends as a loss in profit? Not sure.

Cash in corporations can fluctuate.

corporations purchase raw materials in large quantities and sometimes several materials are bought in the same month.

the purchase is not cost for the corporation as the cash is exchanged for raw materials of the same value.

The following months, cash will increase with sales and the cost of materials will come off the value of materials stored in the country.

A sudden drop in profit occurs when the corporations, although production continues, did not sell the product in that month.

Product sales numbers were probably very low.
