The Global Community Bank, under the terms of its long-term banking agreement with the company, has agreed to lend the company additional money should you elect to use debt to help finance growth and other expenses. The payback period (1-year, 5-years, 10-years) and the company's balance sheet strength, as measured primarily by its debt-assets ratio and cash on hand, will determine the terms of the loan. Additionally, the company's current credit rating and the prevailing interest rates in world financial markets will also be taken into consideration. The loan's payback period (1-year, 5-years, 10-years), the company's current credit rating, and the going rates of return in world financial markets will also be factors in determining the loan terms. The company's current ratio, the payback period of the loan (1-year, 5-years, 10-years), whether the company's year-ending cash balance is above or below its interest payments in the upcoming year, and the prevailing interest rates worldwide will all be considered. Lastly, the company's current credit rating, the going rates of return in world financial markets, and the payback period (1-year, 5-years, 10-years) will also be taken into account. The loan terms will depend on how much the company has already borrowed against its $50 million line of credit with the bank and its ability to generate enough cash flow (depreciation less dividend payments) to make its interest payments.
