Scott Equipment
Organization
Scott Equipment Organization is
investigating various combinations of short- and long-term debt in financing
assets. Assume the organization has decided to employ $30 million in current
assets and $35 million in fixed assets in its operations next year, provided
the level of current assets, anticipated sales, and EBIT for next year are $60
million and $6 million, respectively. The organization’s income tax rate is
40%. Stockholders’ equity will be used to finance $40 million of assets, with
the remainder financed by short- and long-term debt. The organization is
considering implementing one of the policies in the diagram.

Rentabilidad y riesgo son altos

Conservative:
Rentabilidad y riesgo son bajos
La organización de equipo Scott debeelegir la opción más agresivo de los tres. Esto se debe al riesgo agresivo y
el ROE (rentabilidad sobre
recursos propios). La tasa de riesgo alto
se plantea como
un punto negativo para la organización, sin
embargo, podría causar a los prestamistas a ver esto como una amenaza y el préstamo con menor financiación podría ser más difícil de conseguir. El ingreso neto para
los tres modelos dentro de un corto
periodo con agresivo 2.75, conservador 2.72 y moderado de 2.69.
El mayor riesgo para la empresa es que asumir un alto riesgo tiene peligros presentes todo el tiempo, pero si la empresa está buscando
una manera más rápida para ser más
rentable y agresiva Scott Equipment debe
optar por la manera más agresiva.
