Chapter 10, Problem 10.1FC

Wild Adventure conducts tours of wildlife reserves around the world. The company recently purchased a lodge in Adelaide, Australia, securing a 4% mortgage from First Bank. In addition to monthly payments, Wild Adventure must provide annual reports to the bank showing that the company has a current ratio of 1.2 or better.

After reviewing the annual reports, the CEO, N. O. Scrooge, approached Carl Hauptfleisch, the CFO, and stated, "We've decided we are going to move all our long-term and held-to-maturity investments into our brokerage account so we can sell them soon. Carl, go ahead and make the adjusting entries as of the current year-end."

Carl made the adjustments. The subsequent year, the economy turned, and the company's travel revenues dropped more than 60%. Wild Adventure eventually defaulted on the First Bank loan.

Requirements

1. What effect did the adjustments have on the financial statements? What effect did the adjustments have on the current ratio?

2. What type of information in the financial reports would have helped the bank detect this reclassification?

3. Has a fraud occurred? If so, what is the fraud?

Cutting Edge is a monthly magazine that has been on the market for 18 months. It currently has a circulation of 1.4 million copies. Negotiations are underway to obtain a bank loan in order to update the magazine's facilities. Cutting Edge is producing close to capacity and expects to grow at an average of 20% per year over the next 3 years.

Wilson Bryant Air Conditioning, a Middle Georgia HVAC company, wanted to build a web-based project tracking for all small HVAC companies in Middle Georgia. Wilson Bryant Air Conditioning asked SunTrust Bank for a loan of $5 million presenting their idea. They had an agreement with the SunTrust that they will repay the loan by allocating 80% of the company's profits each year for the first 4 years to SunTrust. In the fifth year, the company will pay the remaining balance on the loan in cash. The company assumes that it will not earn any profit in the first year. Also, the company anticipates that the profits will be $1.5 million per year in years 2 through 4. If the SunTrust accepts the deal at an interest rate of 14% per year, and the company's plan will work to perfection, what is the projected amount of the last loan payment (in year 5)? Draw the cash flow diagram.
Assume that you started a new business last year with RM30,000 of your own money to purchase equipment. You are seeking a RM100,000 loan to finance the inventory needed to reach this year’s sales target. You have agreed to pledge your venture’s delivery truck and your personal car as a security for the loan. Your family member has agreed to become the guarantor. During your initial year of operation, you paid your supplier in 30-day credit. (a) Assume that at the end of next year you will have an accounts receivable balance of RM15,000 and an inventory balance of RM30,000. If a bank lends an amount equal to 80% of accounts receivable and 50% of inventories pledged as collateral, estimate the amount that the bank might consider for a bank loan a year from now.
