A new client, an oil and gas explorer in Western Canada, is currently negotiating a loan worth $3 million to avoid defaulting on its long-term debt that is due in three months. Its latest quarterly earnings report indicate that the entity has a working capital deficiency of $500,000, while its cash balance fell to $250,000, down from $500,000 a year earlier. There is a 0.5:1 current ratio. With little expectation of improved sales, the entity plans to cut back on production to preserve cash.

Long-term loans reaching maturity without alternative financing in place OC. Prolonged losses OD. An inability to pay…
Letni Corporation engages in the manufacture and sale of semiconductor chips for the computing and communications industries. During the past year, operating revenues remained relatively flat compared to the prior year but management notices a big increase in accounts receivable. The increase in receivables is largely due to the recent economic slowdown in the computing and telecommunications industries. Many of the company’s customers are having financial difficulty, lengthening the period of time it takes to collect on accounts. Below are year-end amounts.

At the BlueFin Bank corporate headquarters, management was discussing the potential of outsourcing the processing of credit card transactions to DataEase, an international provider of banking operational services. Processing of the transactions at BlueFin has been a costly element of the annual profit and loss statement and the continual investment in equipment to keep up to date has been draining capital reserves. Based upon initial study and negotiations, DataEase will charge $0.02 more per transaction than BlueFin’s cost per transaction, and DataEase will want $12 million per year to cover equipment and overhead costs associated with the contract. BlueFin has yet to develop an estimate for the annual overhead and fixed costs associated with processing the transactions. These costs include supervision, administrative support, maintenance, equipment depreciation, and overhead. If BlueFin must process 20 million transactions per year, how high must those fixed costs be before it would…
Karen Johnson, CFO for Raucous Roasters (RR), a specialty coffee manufacturer, is rethinking her company’s working capital policy considering a recent scare she faced when RR’s corporate banker, citing a nationwide credit crunch, balked at renewing RR’s line of credit. Had the line of credit not been renewed, RR would not have been able to make payroll, potentially forcing the company out of business. Although the line of credit was ultimately renewed, the scare has forced Johnson to examine carefully each component of RR’s working capital to make sure it is needed, with the goal of determining whether the line of credit can be eliminated entirely. In addition to (possibly) freeing RR from the need for a line of credit, Johnson is well aware that reducing working capital can also add value to a company by improving its EVA (Economic Value Added). In her corporate finance course Johnson learned that EVA is calculated by taking net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) and then…

Carson Company is a large manufacturing firm in California that was created 20 years ago by the Carson family. It was initially financed with an equity investment by the Carson family and ten other individuals. Over time, Carson Company has obtained substantial loans from finance companies and commercial banks. The interest rates on those loans are tied to market interest rates and are adjusted every six months. Thus, Carson’s cost of obtaining funds is sensitive to interest rate movements. The company has a credit line with a bank in case it suddenly needs to obtain funds for a temporary period. It has purchased Treasury securities that it could sell if it experiences any liquidity problems. Carson Company has assets valued at approximately $50 million and generates sales of nearly $100 million per year. Some of its growth is attributed to its acquisitions of other firms. Because it expects the economy to be strong in the future, Carson plans to grow by expanding its business and…

Bakers Industries believes that its two primary product lines, pastries and savory food, are rapidly becoming outdated. Its free cash flow is rapidly diminishing as it loses market share to new firms entering its industry. Bakers Industries has OMR 375 million in debt outstanding. Senior management expects the pastries and savory food product lines to generate OMR 48 million and OMR 29 million, respectively, in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization next year. Senior management also believes that they will not be able to upgrade these product lines due to declining cash flow and excessive current leverage. A competitor to its pastries business last year sold for 19 times EBITDA. Moreover, a company that is similar to its savory food product line sold last month for 22 times EBITDA. Estimate Baker's breakup value before taxes.
