Upton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers, stocks them in conveniently located warehouses, ships them to its chain of retail stores, and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Uptons balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, is shown here (millions of dollars): Sales for 2019 were 350 million, and net income for the year was 10.5 million, so the firms profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of 4.2 million to common stockholders, so its payout ratio was 40%. Its tax rate was 25%, and it operated at full capacity. Assume that all assets/sales ratios, (spontaneous liabilities)/sales ratios, the profit margin, and the payout ratio remain constant in 2020. a. If sales are projected to increase by 70 million, or 20%, during 2020, use the AFN equation to determine Uptons projected external capital requirements. b. Using the AFN equation, determine Uptons self-supporting growth rate. That is, what is the maximum growth rate the firm can achieve without having to employ nonspontaneous external funds? c. Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast Uptons balance sheet for December 31, 2020. Assume that all additional external capital is raised as a line of credit at the end of the year. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Assume Uptons profit margin and dividend payout ratio will be the same in 2020 as they were in 2019. What is the amount of the line of credit reported on the 2020 forecasted balance sheets? (Hint: You dont need to forecast the income statements because the line of credit is taken out on the last day of the year and you are given the projected sales, profit margin, and dividend payout ratio; these figures allow you to calculate the 2020 addition to retained earnings for the balance sheet without actually constructing a full income statement.)
Quattro Technologies, a hydraulic manufacturer in the aeronautics industry, has reported steadily increasing net income over the past few years. The company reported net income of $120 million in 2019 and $140 million in 2020. The stock is receiving increasing analyst attention because many investors expect the steady growth in net income to continue well into the future.One of the factors increasing sales is the superior warranty Quattro offers.

However, in a recent executive meeting it was suggested that the CFO report a larger, more conservative, estimate of warranty expense of $50 million this year.Required:1. Can Quattro use warranty expense to manage its reported amount of net income?2. Assume net income before warranty expense is $210 million in 2021 and $210 million in 2022, and total warranty expense over the two years is $80 million. Calculate net income after warranty expense based on the suggestion…
