A machine tools distributor is planning to build an extension on to its warehouse. The owner is concerned over how to source the $200,000 required to finance the expansion. This case is intended to introduce students to financial analysis. The concepts of ratio analysis, projected statements and debt repayment are central to the case. The case requires students to draft a set of projected statements to determine the amount of required financing, assess the financial health of the company and its ability to take on more debt.
