Thank you

1. You are a loan officer and reviewing a loan request from a small business owner who has a seasonal business. What aspects of her financial statements and ratios will you be most interested in evaluating and why? What information would you look for in the financial statements and ratios when you assess the overall financial health of her firm? 2. The CEO of Entitled Ltd. has been focused on increasing the size of the firm and maximizing current profits. Your friend, aware of your expertise in the field of finance, asks you if the CEO's actions are creating an agency problem, and if so, the options that are available to the shareholders to resolve this problem. How would you answer your friend? You should define what an agency problem is in the answer as well. 3. Your sister is working on a project where she has to compare the performance of her firm to that of its peers. Based on your knowledge of corporate finance, you tell her that increasingly, this is becoming a more difficult task. Explain some of the reasons why comparisons of this type can frequently be either difficult to perform or produce misleading results. 1.
