You are working for the regional office a community bank near Knox Town. Knox Community Bank has always prided itself on its ability to deal with local matters in a timely and efficient manner. Your latest loan request involves JW's Grill. JW's Grill is a long-established part of Knox Town and the sponsors of the local football and netball teams. While JW's has been in operation for over 20 years it has been a customer of Knox Community Bank for the past five years. When the new owners, Mark and Leena, took over JW's five years ago they elected to keep the established name and community relationships. Some recent changes to the safety standards mean that JW's no longer meets the safety code for its electrical wiring. Mark and Leena have been given 180 days to fix the problem. The process of looking at the premises has made Mark and Leena realise that the Grill premises need a tidy up and update and they have decided that this is a good time for a renovation. JW's Grill will need to be closed during the electrical repairs and renovation. i Mark and Leena have presented to you an itemised list of the cost of the renovation and repairs, with the supporting quotes from the relevant tradesmen and suppliers. They have also provided an up to date balance sheet and profit and loss summary. They are asking that the bank lend to them the full cost of the renovation and repair.
