Problem
You are a student member of a business case competition. You and two other teammates are in charge of analyzing the financial position of a company and making a recommendation to a senior loan officer of Santander as to whether the company is worthy of a $10 million dollar short term loan to grow the business.
You are only allowed to examine one audited financial statement to make your recommendation. Which one would you choose and what information would the statement provide that would be useful to support your recommendation?
