[Case 3.4 GE Capital Canada] | Case Hand-in |

Executive Summary For the case of GE Capital Canada, Clark Carriers submitted a request for a loan amounting to $270000. It was first confirmed that Clark Carriers met the minimal requirements set out by the commercial equipment financing division of GE for loans. Cash flow was then analyzed to ensure that Clark Carriers has sufficient cash flow from operations to make payments on current loans. Next the financial ratios were analyzed to ensure that Clark Carriers was efficient in its profitability, liquidity, stability, efficiency and growth in which they proved to achieve positive outcomes in all areas, especially profitability. Preceding that, the projected financial statements of 2003 were created and analyzed to include the new potential loan to display how the new equipment and contract will benefit Clark Carriers financial position. After thorough analyzing of all of these aspects of Clark Carriers, my decision on the matter was that Clark Carriers should be granted the loan from GE Capital Canada and this report should now be submitted to the senior account manager.

Problem Statement
An existing client of GE Capital Canada, Clark Carriers Ltd. submitted a request to the Commercial Equipment Financing Division of GE for an additional loan amounting to $270000 to finance the purchase of two new freightliner transport trucks, four new 53-foot trailers and four new mobile satellite systems. Assistant account manager Steve Rendl at GE must review Clark Carriers financial situation and have a report ready to be submitted to the senior account manager with his decision to approve or deny the loan and the reasons for doing so.
Sub-Problems
1. The commercial Equipment Financing Department at GE Capital Canada does not deal with companies who have been in business for less than 3 years. It needs to be ensured that Clark Carriers has more than 3 years

Other receivables, however, show an increase. Net cash from operating activities shows a peak in 2006. The greatest addition to plant, property and equipment is witnessed in 2008. Net cash used in investing activities reaches a peak t 2008. Net cash used in financing activities shows an upward trend with a peak in 2008. Cash and cash equivalents show a peak in 2008, with a smaller peak in 2006. *CC5 FIVE-YEAR GROWTH RATES Sales and net-income have increased over the years but the per-share results are different because the number of shares goes up considerably in 2008, reducing per-share values and making growth rates negative. No dividends were paid in the first two years and as a result, the growth in dividends per share has been 100%. Equity per share has shown a growth over the years. Issuing more shares has resulted in lower sales and net income per share. The negative effect is especially felt on net income per share. This is not a good sign for the company, as it will negatively affect share prices financial markets. Financing the expansion in 2008 with a growth in equity seems to have been an unreasonable…

    Since the 1940’s TMS has been providing small loans to consumers. 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). Consequently FGI also experienced an immense demand for equipment allowing FGI the capability to purchase its own equipment manufacturing company. This allowed FGI to sell, build, and finance its own equipment. For 67 years FGI’s business venture went well (UOP, 2010).…

    “Thomas Money Service Inc. (TMS) has been in business since 1940” (University of Phoenix, 2012). The company started out granting small loans for consumer needs and evolved into offering business loans, business acquisition financing, and commercial real estate loans, (University of Phoenix, 2012). TMS expanded into equipment financing in 1946 under the subsidiary of Future Growth Inc. (FGI), (University of Phoenix, 2012). The venture in turn became very lucrative for TMS because of a huge demand in construction and forestry equipment after World War II (University of Phoenix, 2012). In 1951, FGI purchased an equipment manufacturing company building, selling, and financing their own building and forestry equipment and discontinued financing other equipment (University of Phoenix, 2012). For over 67 years it has been profitable and has stated in previous economic downturns that the company never had to lay off any of its workers, (University of Phoenix, 2012). However, in the current recession and after several natural disasters affecting forestry states, FGI profits declined last year by 30%. Home sales also declined, constructions slowed and caused FGI to repossess equipment and sell it at a discounted price. With the changing economic environment and profit loss Thomas Money Services Inc. has requested recommendations to help increase its revenue, determine its profit maximizing quantity, increase product differentiation, increase barriers to…
