- Sales Increase Maggies Muffins Bakery generated 5 million in sales during 2018, and its year-end total assets were 2.5 million. Also, at year-end 2018, current liabilities were 1 million, consisting of 300,000 of notes payable, 500,000 of accounts payable, and 200,000 of accruals. Looking ahead to 2019, the company estimates that its assets must increase at the same rate as sales, its spontaneous liabilities will increase at the same rate as sales, its profit margin will be 7%, and its payout ratio will be 80%. How large a sales increase can the company achieve without having to raise funds externallythat is, what is its self-supporting growth rate?arrow_forwardFinancing Deficit Stevens Textile Corporation’s 2018 financial statements are shown here: Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 (Thousands of Dollars) Income Statement for December 31, 2018 (Thousands of Dollars) Suppose 2019 sales are projected to increase by 15% over 2018 sales. Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast a balance sheet and income statement for December 31, 2019. The interest rate on all debt is 10%, and cash earns no interest income. Assume that all additional debt in the form of a line of credit is added at the end of the year, which means that you should base the forecasted interest expense on the balance of debt at the beginning of the year. Use the forecasted income statement to determine the addition to retained earnings. Assume that the company was operating at full capacity in 2018, that it cannot sell off any of its fixed assets, and that any required financing will be borrowed as notes payable. Also, assume that assets, spontaneous liabilities, and operating costs are expected to increase by the same percentage as sales. Determine the additional funds needed. What is the resulting total forecasted amount of the line of credit? In your answers to parts a and b, you should not have charged any interest on the additional debt added during 2019 because it was assumed that the new debt was added at the end of the year. But now suppose that the new debt is added throughout the year. Don’t do any calculations, but how would this change the answers to parts a and b?arrow_forwardEXCESS CAPACITY Krogh Lumbers 2019 financial statements are shown here. Krogh Lumber: Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 (thousands of dollars) Krogh Lumber: Income Statement for December 31, 2019 (thousands of dollars) a. Assume that the company was operating at full capacity in 2019 with regard to all items except fixed assets; fixed assets in 2019 were being utilized to only 75% of capacity. By what percentage could 2020 sales increase over 2019 sales without the need for an increase in fixed assets? b. Now suppose 2020 sales increase by 25% over 2019 sales. Assume that Krogh cannot sell any fixed assets. All assets other than fixed assets will grow at the same rate as sales; however, after reviewing industry averages, the firm would like to reduce its operating costs/sales ratio to 82% and increase its total liabilities-to-assets ratio to 42%. The firm will maintain its 60% dividend payout ratio, and it currently has 1 million shares outstanding. The firm plans to raise 35% of its 2020 forecasted interest-bearing debt as notes payable, and it will issue bonds for the remainder. The firm forecasts that its before-tax cost of debt (which includes both short- and long-term debt) is 11%. Any stock issuances or repurchases will be made at the firms current stock price of 40. Develop Kroghs projected financial statements like those shown in Table 16.2. What are the balances of notes payable, bonds, common stock, and retained earnings?arrow_forward
- LONG-TERM FINANCING NEEDED At year-end 2019, total assets for Arrington Inc. were 1.8 million and accounts payable were 450,000. Sales, which in 2019 were 3.0 million, are expected to increase by 25% in 2020. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained; that is, they will grow at the same rate as sales. Arrington typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to 500,000 in 2019, and retained earnings were 475,000. Arrington plans to sell new common stock in the amount of 130,000. The firms profit margin on sates is 5%; 35% of earnings will be retained. a. What were Arringtons total liabilities in 2019? b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2020? (Hint: AFN - New stock = New long-term debt.)arrow_forwardStrickler Technology is considering changes in its working capital policies to improve its cash flow cycle.

Its annual cost of goods sold was 1,800,000. The firm had fixed assets totaling 535,000. Stricklers payables deferral period is 45 days. a. Calculate Stricklers cash conversion cycle. b. Assuming Strickler holds negligible amounts of cash and marketable securities, calculate its total assets turnover and ROA. c.
