EXERCISE 4: USING FINANCIAL RATIOS TO CALCULATE CASH FLOW
PROJECTIONS
After being in business for six years, Graham Mason, owner of a small retail store, is
considering buying a new information system that would provide him with better
operating and financial information. Graham feels that the new system would give
him better control over his inventories so that he would be able to manage his pur-
chases more wisely. He is also interested in renovating his store.
After going through some detailed calculations, he determines that he would have
to invest around $250,000 in early January 2014. Graham is considering borrowing
some money from the bank. However, before meeting his banker, he asks his accoun-
tant to figure out how much cash he could squeeze from his operations (internally)
to help him finance his two projects.
Graham feels that he can improve his average collection period to 40 days and turn
his inventory three times a year by December 31, 2013 (industry averages). With the
following partial information, calculate how much cash Graham could raise internally
by December 2013.
