The paper discusses the reasons behind the liquidation of three companies: ABC Learning Company, HIH Insurance Company, and One Tel Phone Company. The common factors contributing to their downfall include inadequate administration of liabilities, poor financial management, and lack of capital to pay off debts. ABC Learning Company's over-reliance on debt and erratic charges led to its downfall, while HIH Insurance Company's failure to manage modifying economic situations increased its liabilities. One Tel Phone Company's rapidly increasing costs and liabilities ultimately led to its collapse. The paper recommends that companies facing similar circumstances should consider lender negotiations, settlement sums or payment plans, securing assets, and considering business or asset sales to avoid liquidation.
