Question
Chapter 30, Problem 1CQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: Financial distress using the stock-based and flow-based approaches.
Financial Distress:
Financial distress is a situation where the funds or revenue generated by the company through its cash flow activities is not sufficient to meet its current business obligations. It is the situation when the firm is not being able to pay its debts because neither the operating nor financing and nor the investing activities of the company are able to meets its obligations and run its business smoothly. Therefore, the acute shortage or lack of funds leads to financial vacuum being created in the firm which is known as financial distress.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1CQ
- Although financial distress can generally be taken as lack of funds to fuel, the activities of the business but there are two different approaches to analyze the financial distress. The first is the stock-based financial distress. In the stock based financial distress the assets of the company are relatively of lesser value than the value of company’s debts.
- This situation of excessive debt than the available assets leads to negative net worth of the company, which ultimately leads to the inability to meet any kind of obligations and a pressure, or distress of shortage of finance is created.
- Flow-based financial distress is a situation whereby the revenue generated by the operating activities of the business is not ample to meet the current debt obligations of the company. The operating activities are the core activities of the business and lack of revenue through the same reflects the poor performance of the business.
Explanation of Solution
- Financial distress means the situation where the funds generated by the company through its different business activities are not sufficient to meet the business obligations and eventually the business faces a vacuum of funds.
- Financial distress through stock based approach is a situation where the actual assets’ value held by the company is relatively lower than the liabilities faced by it.
- Flow-based financial distress directly displays the poor performance of the operating activities of the business and that the funds generated by it are insufficient to meet its current debt obligation.
Conclusion
Thus, the above mentioned are the different approaches of financial distress.

- Ethical dilemma: Republic Communications Corporation (RCC) has offered you an attractive position in its financial planning division. The new position would constitute a promotion with a $30,000 increase in salary compared to the job you now have at National Telecommunications, Inc. (NTI). The problem is that RCC wants you to bring the rate-setting software you developed at NTI, along with some rate data, with you to the new job. Even though NTI sells its software to other companies and information concerning telephone rates is available to the public, you know that such knowledge will help RCC significantly in its attempt to redesign its rate-setting system. In fact, according to the situation presented in the text, a new and improved rate-setting program could be worth as much as $200 million per year for RCC. Therefore, the question is whether the information RCC wants you to take with you to your new job is proprietary to NTI.
