42、tion, seeking renewal of its $12 million credit line, reports the data in the following table (in millions of dollar) to Hot Springs National Banks loan department.

The lender needs to be sure to check to see if the proje

46、ctions for next year seem reasonable. Borrowers are sometimes over optimistic about future opportunities. However, if the projections are reasonable, Hot Springs National Bank should consider renewing the loan.16-3.Rogers Manufacturing and Service Company holds a sizeable inventory of dryers and was

47、hing machines which it hopes to sell retail dealers over the next six months. These appliances have a total estimated market value currently of $18,357,422. The firm also reports accounts receivable currently amounting to $10,452,867. Under the guidelines for taking collateral discussed in this chap

48、ter, what is the minimum size loan or credit line Rogers is likely to receive from its principal lender? What is the maximum size loan or credit line Rogers is likely to receive?These figures suggest that the minimum size credit line available would be:Minimum-Size Credit Line Available = 0.30 x $18

49、,357,422 + 0. 40 x $10,452,876= $5,507,227 + $4,181,150= $9,688,377.Maximum-Size Credit Line Available = 0.80 x $18,357,422 + 0.90 x $10,452,876 = $14,685,938 + 9,407,588= $24,093,52616-4.The particular C of credit represented by each piece of information presented in this problem was as follows:a.

Collateral16-5.Butell Manufacturing has an outstanding $11 million loan with Citicenter Bank for the current year. As required in the loan agreement, Butell reports selected data it

51、ems to the bank each month. Based on the following information, is there any indication of a developing problem loan? About what dimensions of the firms performance should Citicenter Bank be concerned?Selected items reported to the bank by the company do indicate the possible development of a proble

52、m loan situation. For one thing, Butell's cash account has fallen sharply in the latest month after several months of a substantial uptrend and the firm's liquidity ratio of current assets to current liabilities has declined significantly in the last 3 months. Decreases in the firm's liq

53、uidity position may be signaling declining sales and/or difficulty in maintaining enough cash to meet near-term liabilities. Another possible cause for concern centers around Butell's capital structure as its ratio of equity capital relative to debt financing is falling, indicating that creditor

54、s (including Citicenter Bank) are providing a larger share of the firm's capitalization. Thus, each creditor is becoming less well secured. However, these changes in liquidity and capital structure may only reflect normal seasonal pressures and may not be real problems for the bank, especially b

55、ecause other aspects of Butell's recent performance-its stock price, earnings before interest and taxes, and ROA seem to be improving.Perhaps of greater moment is the decline of sales revenue below Butell's projections. As of the latest month sales revenue reached $290 million versus a proje

56、ction of $298 million. Citicenter Bank must determine the causes of this sales shortfall to see if the firm is encountering increasing resistance to sales of its product lines. However, even this trend may not be cause for alarm because sales may be so volatile in Butell's industry that few anal

57、ysts put any faith in sales projections. The bank's loan officer needs to review the customer's earlier sales projections and sales revenue to determine if there is a real cause for concern.Butell has indicated a recent switch in inventory and depreciation accounting methods. Citicenter's loan officer would do well to inq
