Question:
Becoming and remaining financially sound was a difficult task in the Aircraft industry because of the typically long-life spans and "hit-or-miss" nature of the aircraft. Now, in January 2020, AWT's management was undergoing a financial policy review to determine whether the company could use its financial resources more efficiently and yet remain conservative.
Chris Andrews was hired recently by Air World Transportation Inc., to assist the company with its financial policy and to evaluate the company's performance. Chris graduated from college five years ago with a finance degree. He has been employed in the finance department of a Fortune 500 company since then.
Air World Transportation (AWT) was founded 10 years ago by two college engineers, John Saxton and Ted Parker. The Company has manufactured and sold light airplanes over this period and the company's products have received high reviews for safety and reliability. The company has a niche market in that it sells primarily to individuals who own and fly their own airplanes. The company has two models; the Birdie, which sells for $1,530,000, and the Eagle, which sells for $1,780,000. In 2018 the company sold 10 of each aircraft but was more successful of selling 20 of the Birdie and 15 of the Eagles.
Although the company manufactures aircraft, its operations are different from commercial aircraft companies. In contrast to commercial airplane companies that take one and one-half to two years to manufacture an airplane, the company can complete the manufacture of an airplane in less than six months.
