Restaurant Owner's Cash Shortage

A new restaurant owner struggles with cash flow. Students must interpret invoice terms and decide whether to borrow money to take advantage of supplier discounts.

Sherwin-Williams Financial Analysis

Students review Sherwin-Williams' 2013 financial statements. They calculate bad debt expense, cash collected from customers, inventory turnover, and depreciation expense.
