Current Ratio Loan Provision
Assume that you are the controller of a small, growing sporting-goods company. The prospects for your firm in the future are quite good, but like many other firms, it has been experiencing some cash-flow difficulties because all available funds have been used to purchase inventory and to finance start-up costs associated with a new business. At the beginning of the current year, your local bank advanced a loan to your company. Included in the loan is the following provision:
The company is obligated to pay interest payments each month for the next five years. Prin- cipal is due and must be paid at the end of Year 5. The company is further obligated to maintain a current assets to current liabilities ratio of 2 to 1 as indicated on quarterly state- ments to be submitted to the bank. If the company fails to meet any loan provisions, all amounts of interest and principal are due immediately upon notification by the bank.
You, as controller, have just gathered the following information as of the end of the first month of the current quarter:
Current liabilities:
|
Accounts payable
|
$400,000
|
|
Taxes payable
|
100,000
|
|
Accrued expenses
|
50,000
|
|
Total current liabilities
|
$550,000
|
