Payne Products had $1.6 million in sales revenues in the most recent year and expects sales growth to be 25% this year. Payne would like to determine the effect of various current assets policies on its financial performance. Payne has $1 million of fixed assets and intends to keep its debt ratio at its historical level of 60%. Payne’s debt interest rate is currently 8%. You are to evaluate three different current asset policies: (1) a restricted policy in which current assets are 45% of projected sales, (2) a moderate policy with 50% of sales tied up in current assets, and (3) a relaxed policy requiring current assets of 60% of sales. Earnings before interest and taxes are expected to be 12% of sales. Payne’s tax rate is 40%. What is the expected return on equity under each current asset level? In this problem, we have assumed that the level of expected sales is independent of current asset policy. Is this a valid assumption? Why or why not? How would the overall risk of the firm vary under each policy?
Long-Term Financing Needed At year-end 2018, Wallace Landscapings total assets were 2.17 million, and its accounts payable were 560,000. Sales, which in 2018 were 3.5 million, are expected to increase by 35% in 2019. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Wallace typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to 625,000 in 2018, and retained earnings were 395,000. Wallace has arranged to sell 195,000 of new common stock in 2019 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2019. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 5%, and 45% of earnings will be paid out as dividends. a. What were Wallaces total long-term debt and total liabilities in 2018? b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2019? [Hint: AFN New stock = New long-term debt.)
