- Forecasted Statements and Ratios 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, 2018, is shown here (millions of dollars): Sales for 2018 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 40%, 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 2019. a. If sales are projected to increase by 70 million, or 20%, during 2019, 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, 2019. Assume that all additional external capital is raised as a line of credit at the end of the year and is reflected (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 2019 as they were in 2018. What is the amount of the line of credit reported on the 2019 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 2019 addition to retained earnings for the balance sheet without actually constructing a full income statement.)arrow_forwardMike Sanders is considering the purchase of Kepler Company, a firm specializing in the manufacture of office supplies.
