Preparing for Operational Restructuring Case Studies

I have a couple of upcoming cases for two middle-market firms. I believe I will have 24 hrs or something of the sort to complete each case. I'm practicing with an old case study I got through my network, and I need some guidance on the best way to approach the below 2 prompts.

  1. Calculating implied EBITDA. For this prompt, I'd be advising a lender group and the debtor financing provides a summary of 13-week cash flow data

.Receipts

Payroll

AP disbursements

Rent

CAPEX

Debt Service

Severance

Cashflow


2.) Borrow Base Test

Given assumptions: (i) AR advance rate; (ii) Inventory advance rates: raw material and the finished goods; (iii) Ineligible AR consists of invoices aged over 90 days; (iv) Company has terms with vendors - no cash is due to vendors until receipt of raw materials.

The ask is to calculate the impact on cash, availability and net liquidity for the below 5 scenarios

(I) Eligible AR of $XX is collected

(ii)Raw material of $XX is received, eligible AR of $XX is collected

(iii) Inventory of $XX is sold for $XX

(iv) Raw material of $XX is received, raw material of $XX is converted to finished goods, finished
goods of $XX is sold for $XX, eligible invoices of $XX are collected

(v) Ineligible AR of $XXXX is collected, raw material of $XX is procured, raw material of $XX is
converted to finished goods
