Review the following scenario:
Acting as the CEO of a small company, you will apply the
principles of capital budgeting to invest in growth and cash flow
improvement opportunities in three phases over 10 simulated
years. Each opportunity has a unique financial profile and you
must analyze the effects on working capital. Examples of
opportunities include taking on new customers, capitalizing on
supplier discounts, and reducing inventory.
You must understand how the income statement, balance sheet,
and statement of cash flows are interconnected and be able to
analyze forecasted financial information to consider possible
effects of each opportunity on the firm's financial position. The
company operates on thin margins with a constrained cash
position and limited available credit. You must optimize use of
internal and external credit as you balance the desire for growth
with the need for maintaining liquidity.
