I am working on a Business Management Degree, but this class is Corporate Finance. I wasn’t sure which subject to pick in the drop down box.
Here are the assignment details:
It is important to show all work and demonstrate you understand how to support the questions below.
Read the HBR case in its entirety. As part of the HBR case, there are excel supplements provided. These are simply to give you tables or information from the case in excel that will help support your answers. You are encouraged to use excel for calculations and this will allow to see how you showed your work. Additionally, respond to the questions in MS Word and use your work in excel to help support your answers. Financial Analysis is a substantial part of the total points available, so there should be a fluid understanding of the material shown through your work.
Read the HBR case in its entirety, prepare the student model as outlined in the excel file and answer the supplemental questions below:
How well is “Jones Electrical Distribution” performing? What must Jones do well to succeed?
Why does a business that has profit of $30,000 per year need a bank loan?
What drove the increase in Jones’s accounts receivable and inventory balances in 2005 and 2006?
Is Nelson Jones’s estimate that a $350,000 line of credit is sufficient for 2007 accurate?
A pdf of the HBR case will be attached in the box for uploaded files
Also, this class is using the text book: Fundamentals of Corporate Finance by: R. Brealey, S. Myers, A. Marcus 2020 10th edition
I marked 2 references to be used for this. Please reference the HBR case and Fundamentals of Corporate Finance as appropriate.
(if you want to use other references, that’s fine)
I don’t know if you can access the text book anywhere online, and I’m not sure I could send it as a pdf. Here is the link I use for the book:
