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

    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.

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).…

    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.…

    Without making changes to financial policy, SureCut Shears continues to increase liabilities while sales decline, inventory grows, and cash dwindles down to only 8.74 days sales in cash in March 1996. If Mr. Stewart were paying close attention to these ratios compared he would be concerned that SureCut hasn’t changed its financial policy to accommodate, other than requesting to borrow more money.

    Clarkson Lumber

    The Clarkson Lumber Company is a classic case of a small, private company rapidly growing and not having a sufficient cash flow to sustain operations with the increase in expected future sales. First, there needs to be an analysis of the events and strategies that have been implemented which affect the company’s financials. The owner, Keith Clarkson, bought out his partners “interest” in the company by issuing a note of $200,000 at 11% interest. The owner issued the note so there is sufficient time to arrange the necessary financing to be the sole owner in the company. The company has been managed efficiently by analysis of the financials, with sales expected to reach 5.5 million in 1996. With this increase in sales, the company needs external funding to finance the operations necessary to execute the expected sales volume. The external funding has also become an issue for the company. The current relationship they have with Suburban Bank only allows a borrowing of 400,000, which the company has already reached. Subsequently, Clarkson Lumber is in arrangements for a new relationship with Northrup Bank, allowing a borrowing limit of $750,000. This new financial relationship will stop any form of business between Clarkson Lumber and Suburban Bank. The question at hand is, should Clarkson agree to external funding with Northrup Bank? Is it a financially feasible move?…

    The Clarkson Lumber Company had been increasing their profits year after year which began in 1993. Despite the consistent profitability in the Clarkson Lumber Company, they had increased its borrowing because of various reasons. Even though the company had good profits the company had experienced a shortage of cash. Mr. Clarkson felt that a large sum loan in the amount of $75,000 would improve profitability by allowing him to take advantage of trade discounts. Mr. Holt also bought out his brother in law’s interest within the company for 200,000 dollars and had two years to pay it off in 1995 and 1996 with 11% interest. Sales volume for the company has been due to successful price competition which occurred because of large quantity purchases of materials and substantial discounts. Therefore borrowing would potentially increase sales for the Lumber Company.…

    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.…
