Problem - Cash Flow Restructuring Concepts - It was shown earlier in the chapter that Eastland Industries was suffering from cash flow insolvency. Assume that scenario 1 projects that Year 3 and following years will be like the results incurred for Year 2, where profitability is low and continued large investments in net working capital are required. In contrast, an optimistic scenario for Eastland Industries for Year 3 suggests that a sales breakout year will lead to operating efficiencies resulting in net income projections of $100,000. Improved management of working capital also will result in a net working capital increase of only $30,000. Estimate the net cash build or burn after a $50,000 debt repayment under both scenarios. Comment on your findings.
