(Round to two decimal places.)Minicase In March 2020, the management team of Londonderry Air (LA) met to discuss a proposal to purchase five shorthaul aircraft at a total cost of $25 million. There was general enthusiasm for the investment and the new aircraft were expected to generate an annual cash flow of $4 million for 20 years. The focus of the meeting was on how to finance the purchase. LA had $20 million in cash and marketable securities (see table), but Ed Johnson the chief financial officer pointed out that the company needed at least $10 million in cash to meet normal outflow and as a contingency reserve. This meant that there would be a cash defficiency of $15 million, which the firm would need to cover either by the sale of common stock or by additional borrowing. while admitting that the arguments were finely balanced, mR. Johnson recommended an issue of stock. He pointed out that the airline industry was subject to wide swings in profits and the firm should be careful to avoid the risk of excessive…Calculate the risk-weighted asset for this amount.

What would be the additional funds needed if the companys year-end 2018 assets had been 7 million? Assume that all other numbers, including sales, are the same as in Problem 9-1 and that the company is operating at full capacity. Why is this AFN different from the one you found in Problem 9-1? Is the companys capital intensity ratio the same or different?INTEGRATED CASE NEW WORLD CHEMICALS INC. FINANCIAL FORECASTING Sue Wilson, the new financial manager of New World Chemicals (NWC), a California producer of specialized chemicals for use in fruit orchards, must prepare a formal financial forecast for 2017. NWCs 2016 sales were 2 billion, and the marketing department is forecasting a 25% increase for 2017. Wilson thinks the company was operating at full capacity in 2016, but she is not sure. The first step in her forecast was to assume that key ratios would remain unchanged and that it would be business as usual at NWC. The 2016 financial statements, the 2017 initial forecast, and a ratio analysis for 2016 and the 2017 initial forecast are given in Table IC 16.1. Assume that you were recently hired as Wilsons assistant and that your first major task is to help her develop the formal financial forecast. She asks you to begin by answering the following questions. a. Assume (1) that NWC was operating at full capacity in 2016 with respect to all assets, (2) that all assets must grow at the same rate as sales, (3) that accounts payable and accrued liabilities also will grow at the same rate as sales, and (4) that the 2016 profit margin and dividend payout will be maintained. Under those conditions, what would the AFN equation predict the companys financial requirements to be for the coming year? b. Consultations with several key managers within NWC, including production, inventory, and receivable managers, have yielded some very useful information. 1. NWCs high DSO is largely due to one significant customer who battled through some hardships the past 2 years but who appears to be financially healthy again and is generating strong cash flow. As a result, NWCs accounts receivable manager expects the Firm to lower receivables enough for a calculated DSO of 34 days without adversely affecting sales. 2. NWC was operating slightly below capacity; but its forecasted growth will require a new facility, which is expected to increase NWCs net Fixed assets to 700 million. 3. A relatively new inventory management system (installed last year) has taken some time to catch on and to operate efficiently. NWCs inventory turnover improved slightly last year, but this year NWC expects even more improvement as inventories decrease and inventory turnover is expected to rise to 10. Incorporate that information into the 2017 initial forecast results, as these adjustments to the initial forecast represent the final forecast for 2017. (Hint: Total assets do not change from the initial forecast.) c. Calculate NWCs forecasted ratios based on its final forecast and compare them with the companys 2016 historical ratios, the 2017 initial forecast ratios, and the industry averages. How does NWC compare with the average firm in its industry, and is the companys financial position expected to improve during the coming year? Explain. d. Based on the final forecast, calculate NWCs free cash flow for 2017. How does this FCF differ from the FCF forecasted by NWCs initial business as usual forecast? e. Initially, some NWC managers questioned whether the new facility expansion was necessary, especially as it results in increasing net fixed assets from 500 million to 700 million (a 40% increase). However, after extensive discussions about NWC needing to position itself for future growth and being flexible and competitive in todays marketplace, NWCs top managers agreed that the expansion was necessary. Among the issues raised by opponents was that NWCs fixed assets were being operated at only 85% of capacity. Assuming that its fixed assets were operating at only 85% of capacity, by how much could sales have increased, both in dollar terms and in percentage terms, before NWC reached full capacity? f. How would changes in the following items affect the AFN: (1) the dividend payout ratio, (2) the profit margin, (3) the capital intensity ratio, and (4) NWC beginning to buy from its suppliers on terms that permit it to pay after 60 days rather than after 30 days?

- Integrated Case NEW WORLD CHEMICALS INC. 16-16 FINANCIAL FORECASTING Sue Wilson, the new financial manager of New World Chemicals (NWC), a California producer of specialized chemicals for use in fruit orchards, must prepare a formal financial forecast for 2015. NWCs 2014 sales were 2 billon, and the marketing department is forecasting a 25% increase for 2015. Wilson thinks the company was operating at full capacity in 2014, but she is not sure. The first step in her forecast was to assume that key ratios would remain unchanged and that it would be business as usual at NWC The 2014 financial statements, the 2015 initial forecast, and a ratio analysis for 2014 and the 2015 initial forecast are given in Table 1C 16.1.
