Wendi has decided to request a new loan because she needs capital to purchase bulk raw ingredients to make tortillas, such as corn, in cash. This will allow her to pay a lower price, which will in turn generate greater profits that she can use to cover her family's expenses and to repay loans.
With the previous loan, she has been able to keep the tortillas factory stocked, which has ensured that her business stays open. She has also been able to increase her sales and to stabilize her household finances.
