Question 4
The Super Star Company Limited Manufactures and sells a line of exclusive sportswear. The firm's sales were $600000 for the year just ended, and its total asset exceeded $400,000. The company was started by Mr. Wen just 10 years ago and has been profitable every year since its inception. The chief financial officer of the firm, Brent Ching, has decided to seek a line of credit from the firm's bank totaling $80,000. In the past, the company has relied on its suppliers to finance a large Part of its needs for inventory. However, in recent months, tight money conditions have led the firm's suppliers to offer sizeable cash discounts to speed up payments for purchases. Mr. Ching wants to use the line of credit to replace a large Portion of the firm's payables during the summer, which is sales period.
The firm's two most recent balance sheets were presented to the bank in support of its loan request. In addition, the firm's income statement for the year just ended was provided.
