There we’ll have as a maximum <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company’s Distribution capacity:<br />
Max (D) 150 = 20 + 5x<br />
Where:<br />
X = 26 Unit<br />
And with considering that Revenue takes this form:<br />
R = 10x<br />
The Cash-Flows will be equals to:<br />
CF = R – C = 10x – (20 + 5x)<br />
CF = 110<br />
X = 26 Unit<br />
b) The limitation <strong>of</strong> funding possibilities by external resources.<br />
Usually bankers get to be motivated for business when <strong>the</strong> <strong>company's</strong> situation is under a good working capital fund,<br />
because on <strong>the</strong> one hand it must normally have a healthy <strong>cash</strong> <strong>flow</strong>, and secondly because it resists <strong>the</strong> best in<br />
adversity. We have seen here inside IWACO that in reality this criterion is seriously flawed and that <strong>the</strong> banker will<br />
always prompt <strong>the</strong> rationale justifications for <strong>the</strong> reimbursement <strong>of</strong> any competition sought by <strong>the</strong> provision <strong>of</strong> a<br />
capital plan and <strong>of</strong> a <strong>cash</strong> plan.<br />
Thus, <strong>the</strong> possibilities <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company for having loans depend on its forecasting <strong>cash</strong>. Yet, <strong>the</strong> evolution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>cash</strong><br />
position also determines its debt capacity.<br />
1.2 - Changes in <strong>the</strong> liquidity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> firm.<br />
Investment decisions are influenced by changes in <strong>the</strong> liquidity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> companies. Fears <strong>of</strong> a <strong>cash</strong> crisis, even<br />
temporary, can <strong>of</strong>ten impede investment. However, <strong>the</strong> existence <strong>of</strong> significant liquidity could lead <strong>the</strong> contractor to<br />
take any opportunity to invest.<br />
(a) The adverse effect.<br />
The adverse effect <strong>of</strong> this relationship has been highlighted in <strong>the</strong> preparation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> financial statements that allow<br />
<strong>the</strong> company to analyze its financial situation present or forecast. The main causes <strong>of</strong> imbalance <strong>of</strong> <strong>cash</strong> are <strong>the</strong><br />
rigidity <strong>of</strong> selling prices and especially <strong>the</strong> increase in operating expenses.<br />
It would seem that <strong>the</strong>re is a parallel evolution between changes in <strong>the</strong> percentage <strong>of</strong> businesses who believe that<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir <strong>cash</strong> has become more difficult and <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> those who have delayed <strong>the</strong>ir investment expenditures.<br />
Besides <strong>the</strong> essential tool used to improve <strong>the</strong> State <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> treasuries is precisely slowing spending in fixed assets<br />
(investment orders) and capital circulating (purchases, production costs, staff costs).<br />
Reverse evolution is less clear-cut. Analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> financial situation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company. On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, reveals <strong>the</strong><br />
existence <strong>of</strong> a relationship <strong>of</strong> cause and effect between improvement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>cash</strong> and <strong>the</strong> decrease <strong>of</strong> short-term<br />
debt. Also, one may wonder to what extent this reduction in debt does not correspond to an increase in own funds<br />
locked in circulating capital. Anyway <strong>the</strong> favorable effect <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> appearance <strong>of</strong> liquidity on <strong>the</strong> decision to invest is<br />
certain.<br />
