During a brief telephone call with Rachel, you made the following notes:
1. One of the conditions of the long-term loan is that the company is not to exceed a debt-to equity ratio of 2:1 at any time and they must maintain a current ratio of 2:1. The loan is reviewed each year on 31 July.
2. Provision for obsolescence of finished inventory held for sale and work-in-progress is provided for at a flat rate of 10%. The amount provided in previous years was 20%. Rachel said that the company believes it has been overly conservative in previous years and 10% is a more realistic level, given the nature of its products.
3. To combat declining sales a senior management incentive scheme based on sales and profit levels was introduced in July 2016.
4. The long-term loan receivable is from a company involved in the development and production of computer software. It is owned by one of the directors.
