EXAMPLE 2
A borrower has requested a loan to acquire an asset that
will have a useful life of at least 6 years. The loan is to be
repaid in equal payments over a 3-year period. Your
analysis of historical cash flow demonstrates that the
company has been able to generate sufficient cash from
operations to service all existing obligations, plus the
interest and principal payments on the proposed loan.
However, the company’s projections indicate a debt
service coverage ratio (cash available for principal and
interest, divided by the total of principal and interest) less
than the 1.5 times you would normally like to see.
