Venice InLine, Inc., was founded by Russ Perez to produce a specialized in-line skate he had designed for doing aerial tricks. Up to this point, Russ has financed the company with his own savings and with cash generated by his business. However, Russ now faces a cash crisis. In the year just ended, an acute shortage of high-impact roller bearings developed just as the company was beginning production for the Christmas season. Russ had been assured by his suppliers that the roller bearings would be delivered in time to make Christmas shipments, but the suppliers were unable to fully deliver on this promise. As a consequence, Venice InLine had large stocks of unfinished skates at the end of the year and was unable to fill all of the orders that had come in from retailers for the Christmas season. Consequently, sales were below expectations for the year, and Russ does not have enough cash to pay his creditors. |

Well before the accounts payable were due, Russ visited a local bank and inquired about obtaining a loan. The loan officer at the bank assured Russ that there should not be any problem getting a loan to pay off his accounts payable—providing that on his most recent financial statements the current ratio was above 2.0, the acid-test ratio was above 1.0, and net operating income was at least four times the interest on the proposed loan. Russ promised to return later with a copy of his financial statements. |

Russ would like to apply for a $90,000 six-month loan bearing an interest rate of 10% per year. The unaudited financial reports of the company appear below.

1a. Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
Current ratio = 465.8/261
Current ratio = 1.79
Acid test ratio = (Current assets - Inventory)/Current liabilities
Acid test ratio = (465.8 - 265)/261
Acid test ratio = 0.77
Net operating income = $24,
Interest = $90,000 x 10%/2 x 1/1000 = $4.5
Net operating income/interest = $24/$4.5 = 5.33
Ratios (if old machine is classified in inventory)
Current ratio = Current ratio/Current liabilities
Current ratio = (465.8 + 85)/261
Current ratio = 2.11
Acid test ratio = (Current assets - Inventory)/Current liabilities
Acid test ratio = (550.8 - 85 - 265)/261
Acid test ratio = 0.77
Net operating income = $24,
Interest = $90,000 x 10%/2 x 1/1000 = $4.5
Net operating income/interest = $24/$4.5 = 5.33
