Your answers need to be explicit (i.e. show your calculations). You are working as a credit analyst at All Parts Inc. (a large wholesaler of electronics parts). The sales team has been working for some time to acquire a new client, Measure It Ltd. (a large manufacturer of measurement devices) and is eager to do what it takes to close a deal and increase sales accordingly. The head of the credit department asked you to conduct a credit analysis of Measure It Ltd. to determine its creditworthiness as it is common in the electronics parts business to offer credit terms to clients. However, All Parts Inc. has seen over the years its fair share of clients ending not paying and the responsibility for such losses falls upon the credit department, and unfortunately the sales team does not care much about that. Usually, if the prospective client financial strength and performance are broadly in line with industry standards or better, the credit department approves the client.
