    Chang Dental

    When Miller considered Chang’s Clinic to be an opportunity, he desired to research the ability in obtain a loan so he could pursue the American dream. It is loyalty that keeps the dental business alive and growing and Despite Miller being the new guy telling clients to say ah, he anticipated he would grow substantially (50% of 04-05) within the first year. After reading this assumption it immediately told me he’s confident in obtaining the loyalty of Chang’s clients. I’m not a dentist, but I assumed this loyalty was imperative to survival and makes this business profitable. After reviewing the income statement and balance sheet provided, that was determined to be a fair assumption. Chang acquired this business from a friend who was willing to work with Chang for the fiscal year 2003 in order to help clients accept the new owner, which further valued the purchase. It does not say that Chang will do the same for Miller, so it must be considered that Miller will have slightly more difficulty than Chang to make the clients pleased with the change. As an advisor it’s important to consider all aspects of this deal. One must consider competition, growth and value relative to industry averages when determining whether a loan seems to be achievable for Miller. It’s unclear whether predictions for 2006 given by Miller will be accepted by bank officials, but for my analysis I will assume them to be.…

    Butler Lumber Case

    • 359 Words
    • 2 Pages

    As the Banker I would not approve of the loan for $465,000 to Butler Lumber. I feel that the company is still too small for that size of a loan and doesn’t have enough current assets to put up as collateral. Given the company’s good reputation and successful history it wouldn’t be hard to get this loan approved. One thing that I would like to see is better inventory control, the inventory turnover is decreasing and Butler needs to come up with a way to fix it or else it will be hard to improve the working capital. Also the accounts receivable increase greatly from year to year which reflects poor collection time for the company. If Butler could improve these areas then there would be little reason why his loan request would be turned down aside form the fact that his company is still new and…

    Asi, Inc. Case Study

    • 2501 Words
    • 11 Pages

    August Scientific Instruments, Inc. (ASI, Inc.) is a small private company which specializes in the manufacturing of miniature electromechanical components. It is located on a small but progressive town wherein a Technical Education Institute is also based. At first, the company underwent several problems and setbacks and was able to grow steadily and expand its operations until in 1958; it was able to acquire additional investments, substantial monthly sales and workers, and started to have backlog of orders. As time pass by, the backlog had grown at an alarming rate which is brought by the inability of the company’s production to meet the demands of the customers. The company decided to have a major expansion by loaning from banks and allocating the 80% of the account receivables as payment. However, this was not enough to sustain and match the increasing orders from the customers. To address the new stage of growth it is facing, the company is opting to get financial help from outside or freeze the size of the company at an artificially low level since the stockholders had already exhausted their cash resources. To cope up with its situation, the company needs a new plant at an estimated cost of $350,000; and capital of about $200,000 for the procurement of additional equipment and machinery, and for the financing of the training for additional personnel. The company also considered locating in other city that offered inducements of a new building and tax-free advantages, but it did not want to leave the community where it enjoyed a cooperative arrangement with the scientific educational institution and other advantages. On the other hand, the business community doesn’t want to lose the company since it was the major source of the earnings of the students there. The local bank was willing to help but the proposed project was too much and over its capacity. Other lending sources with greater capacity had been approached but…
