Earnings Before Debt and Taxes, EAT, tax, cashflow?

How do you calculate earnings before debt and taxes, Earnings before taxes, Tax, Earnings after taxes, cash flow, PVIFA factor and present value of cash inflow. I know its a lot but I’m so confused. This is all the information I know….
Watson Leisure Time Sporting Goods has improved operations over time and the company needs to make a decision related to an equipment decision .
The company plans to purchase a new piece of equipment (to be used over a six year period) for $320,000.
Assume the cash flows and depreciation (based upon the use of the 5-year MACRS Schedule and Table 12-9) for the new equipment is as follows:
Cash Flow Depreciation
1 $120,000 $64,000
2 105,000 102,400
3 80,000 61,440
4 65,000 36,800
5 53,000 36,800
6 45,000 18,560

When applying for a poor credit business loan, what are the minimum credit requirements?

I am owner of a small business (LLC) that delivers to vessels in ports. I have an investor, my tax id, and all legal paperwork. Technically I am functioning, and have been for 2 weeks. My issue is this. I had another investor who has backed out, due to personal matters. I had not tried to apply for a loan at start up because I though my personal credit was too low (between 515 - 565) the business itself still has zero. I have customers that need to be supplied now, and need to come up with the other 50K.
Our business plan is structured that we pay off the financier in 12 months at 30% interest. (that would have been the total 100K) So you can see incoming cash flow should not be a dilemma, and my business plan shows this.
The other issue is since my industry is behind the public eye, (how many of you have been on a tanker?) It is hard for an individual to believe the numbers are accurate, when in fact we are “low-balling”.
If I applied as a bad credit minority, would I have a chance? Where are the best places here in Florida or otherwise to apply? Any suggestions? I need to get this going or be in a devastating situation.
Additional Details
I cannot go to family, or friends in this economy, finding another investor, going through the process with them, their accountants and lawyers will end up taking too much time and ruining what has been started. Our mission is to be a loyal company, my customers that I have had since fully financed, still need to be served as promised., more

Where'd all the damn money go?

if the consumer exchanges income for products and services and the employees and proprietors f the businesses and services have the money which they use to purchase other products and services and this keeps going in a circle not including the unemployed, and then products and services outsource and become international and people trade with foreign companies and foreign investors invest in american business, and the circle of cash flow is still going around the syndicate…
where did all the damned money go? obviously the circle of flow is almost empty, companies are losing profits, and the recession is world-round. Did Oprah and Paris Hilton take it all?, more
