Manajemen Tresuri 1 Case: SureCut Shears, Inc I. Synopsis SureCut Shears manufactured a complete line of household scissors and industrial shears. Its quality lines were distributed through wholesalers to specialty, hardware, and department stores located throughout the country. Although competition was severe, particularly from overseas companies, SureCut Shears had made profits in every year since 1958. Sales and profits had grown fairly steadily, if not dramatically, throughout the period. The company had sufficient capital to cover its permanent requirements over the immediate future. The company in this position is actively pursued by bankers who want to lend the money to and via their bank deposit relationship. Hudson National Bank prospected SureCut for many years and successfully won their business. The company uses their line of credit to fund its peak season sales which occurs during the month July—December of each year for back to school, seasonal yard work, and holiday sales. In June 1995, Mr. Fisher, treasurer of SureCut Shears arranged a line of credit of $3.5 million with the. Much of these funds were used to fund the capital modernization program. Facing the declining sales, SureCut is facing difficulty in paying its short term loan obligations to Hudson National Bank. After thorough analysis, the need for short term fund requirements should not be used in capital expenses since the cash needed to repay the short term fund requirements comes from the sales of inventory which was the intention of the additional cash to stock up more inventories. In June 1995 Surecut Shears got a working capital loan amount of $3,5 million from Hudson National Bank to cover the seasonal sales peak, which would

During that time TMS augmented its business to include the servicing of business loans, business acquisition financing, and commercial real estate loans. In 1946 TMS decided to finance forestry and construction equipment. The decision proved to be very profitable and resulted in TMS’s establishment of Future Growth Inc. (FGI).

    The Clarkson Lumber Company has been expanding rapidly for several years. Increases in working capital requirements have outgrown the capacity of the firm to generate funds from internal sources. Also, part of the funds were used to buy out a partner, further increasing financial pressure. The firm has foregone taking discounts on accounts payable and is borrowing increasing amounts from the bank so as to maintain its expansion. Mr. Clarkson’s decision today is whether to expand and , if so, how to raise new funds. He is seeking a new bank connection from which he can borrow larger amounts. In turn, the bank must estimate the amount of funds actually needed by Mr. Clarkson, the probable repayment schedule, the nature and degree of the risks incurred and the appropriate terms of such a bank loan.…

    Hampton Machine Tool Company was established in 1915, whose customers were aircraft and automobile manufacturers located in the St. Louis area. The company had a large success rate throughout the 1960’s, with an unfortunate decline throughout the mid 1970’s in sales. The company was able to recover in the years following due to a large increase in military aircraft sales, especially the company’s conservative financial policies. Mr. Benjamin G. Cowins, president of Hampton Machine Tool Company requested an initial loan of $1 million from the St. Louis National Bank in order to purchase the stocks of several dissident shareholders, with a current interest rate of 1.5% monthly. Even though the company had excess money for normal operations, they did not have enough for their stock redemption that the company was currently interested in. However, Mr. Cowins sent Mr. Jerry Eckwood an additional letter requesting for an additional $350,000 to their loan in order to improve the overall performance of the company.…

    Red Flags at La Gear

    • 500 Words

    In reviewing the Balance Sheet of L.A. Gear, it appears that the cash on hand was not sufficient, although it had increased from the prior year. The accounts receivable had increased suggesting that it was extending credit but not receiving payments due to them in a timely manner. This situation had most definitely left them without their much needed cash flow. The fact that inventory continued to decline and the net property and equipment more than doubled indicates a red flag. L.A. Gear’s current liabilities had also increased significantly. The line of credit had almost doubled even though the accounts payable had decreased. No long term debt is noticeable, possibly due to paying their debts within a twelve month period with the line of credit they had established. By increasing their debt and using their line of credit to pay for those debts, they were adding even more risk of ensuing failure.…

    Leverage is often considered when evaluating credit quality, with high leverage firms having higher credit risk than those with relatively less debt. Comparing the two accounts, Walcott’s debt ratio of 0.4833 in 1983 and 0.4614 in 1984 is considerably better than Designers’ debt ratio of 0.8997 and 0.8888, respectively. Moreover, after calculating the debt-to-equity ratios, Walcott’s ratios of 0.9355 in 1983 and 0.8565 in 1984 are superior to Designers’ debt-to-equity ratios which are 6.058 and 5.8417. These calculations display to use that Walcott seems to have less credit risk than Designers, thus being a safer option.…
