Based on your analysis of the 3 years of information, describe the condition of the company. Is it healthy? Why or why not? 1. Based on the financial information and calculations it appears that the company currently is not in a healthy state. The information provided shows that the profits have decreased each year and due to this trend, I would assume it will continue in this non-profitable trend. The return on assets is also reducing each year over the three-year span provided. Another area that is continually to fall is the return on equity. With the above ratios it is my conclusion that the company is not in a healthy condition and should consider different ways to help increase it’s profit in the upcoming year to regain its health. 2. What are your concerns about the company? Would you approve the loan? Why or why not?
1. The biggest concern about the above company is it s continually decrease in profit over the three-year span. The sales are increasing each year along with the equity but the costs are showing a negative return. I would approve the loan if the company can provide a plan on how to get profitable over the next year and pay off the debt. The loan could positively affect the company in adding capital and this can start the path to being profitable in the future, some other areas I would want to check on before approving the loan is if there are any assets such as property that the company and can use as a guarantee on the loan. The company’s sales are increasing each year as well as its assets so the company is financially stable and could survive if it was profitable. Base don this as a banker I would approve a loan for the company.
