Morrissey Technologies Inc.: Income Statement for December 31, 2019
Suppose that in 2020, sales increase by 10% over 2019 sales. The firm currently has 100,000 shares outstanding. It expects to maintain its 2019 dividend payout ratio and believes that its assets should grow at the same rate as sales. The firm has no excess capacity. However, the firm would like to reduce its operating costs/sales ratio to 87.5% and increase its total liabilities-to-assets ratio to 30%. (It believes its liabilities-to-assets ratio currently is too low relative to the industry average.) The firm will raise 30% of the 2020 forecasted interest-bearing debt as notes payable, and it will issue long-term bonds for the remainder. The firm

It expects to maintain its 2019 dividend payout ratio and believes that its assets should grow at the same rate as sales. The firm has no excess capacity. However, the firm would like to reduce its operating costs/sales ratio to 87.5% and increase its total liabilities-to-assets ratio to 30%. (It believes its liabilities- to-assets ratio currently is too low relative to the industry average.) The firm will raise 30% of the 2020 forecasted interest-bearing debt as notes payable, and it will issue long-term bonds for the remainder. The firm forecasts that its before-tax cost of debt (which includes both short- and long-term debt) is 12.5%. Assume that any common stock issuances or repurchases can be made at the firm's current stock price of $45.a. Construct the forecasted financial…
Aneles Inc.’s Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 is as follows:
In 2020, the company reported sales of 3,000,000, Net Income of 60,000, and dividends of 10,000. Sales are projected to increase by 10% next year. Both Profit Margin and the Dividend Pay-Out Ratio will remain the same. Operations are at full capacity. Assume external fund will be raised through issuances of Long-Term Obligations or Bonds.
A. How much Long-term Debt will the company have to issue next year?
B. If the operations are not in full capacity, what will be AFN?
Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 25% from $8.8 million in 2019 to $11.00 million in 2020. Its assets totaled $5 million at the end of 2019.
Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 3%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 45%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as $1,200,000. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

- 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_forwardStevens Textile Corporations 2019 financial statements are shown here. Stevens grew rapidly in 2019 and financed the growth with notes payable and long-term bonds. Stevens expects sales to grow by 15% in the next year but will finance the growth with a line of credit, not notes payable or long-term bonds. Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast a balance sheet and income statement for December 31, 2020. The interest rate on all debt is 10%, and cash earns no interest income. The 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 2019, that it cannot sell off any of its fixed assets, and that assets, spontaneous liabilities, and operating costs are expected to increase by the same percentage as sales. a. What is the projected value for earnings before interest and taxes? b. What is the projected value for pre-tax earnings? c. What is the projected net income? d. What is the projected addition to retained earnings? e. What is the projected value of total current assets? f. What is the projected value of total assets? g. What is the projected sum of accounts payable, accruals, and notes payable? h. What is the forecasted line of credit?

Here is the December 31, 2018, balance sheet: Booth’s fixed assets were used to only 50% of capacity during 2018, but its current assets were at their proper levels in relation to sales. All assets except fixed assets must increase at the same rate as sales, and fixed assets would also have to increase at the same rate if the current excess capacity did not exist. Booth’s after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 5% and its payout ratio to be 60%. What is Booth’s additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year?arrow_forward
- DIVIDENDS Brooks Sporting Inc. is prepared to report the following 2019 income statement (shown in thousands of dollars). Prior to reporting this income statement, the company wants to determine its annual dividend. The company has 320,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and its stock trades at 37 per share. a. The company had a 25% dividend payout ratio in 2018. If Brooks wants to maintain this payout ratio in 2019, what will be its per-share dividend in 2019? b. If the company maintains this 25% payout ratio, what will be the current dividend yield on the companys stock? c. The company reported net income of 1.35 million in 2018. Assume that the number of shares outstanding has remained constant. What was the companys per-share dividend in 2018? d. As an alternative to maintaining the same dividend payout ratio. Brooks is considering maintaining the same per-share dividend in 2019 that it paid in 2018. If it chooses this policy, what will be the companys dividend payout ratio in 2019? e. Assume that the company is interested in dramatically expanding its operations and that this expansion will require significant amounts of capital. The company would like to avoid transactions costs involved in issuing new equity. Given this scenario, would it make more sense for the company to maintain a constant dividend payout ratio or to maintain the same per-share dividend? Explain.arrow_forwardALTERNATIVE DIVIDEND POLICIES In 2018, Keenan Company paid dividends totaling 3,600,000 on net income of 10.8 million. Note that 2018 was a normal year and that for the past 10 years, earnings have grown at a constant rate of 10%. However, in 2019, earnings are expected to jump to 14.4 million and the firm expects to have profitable investment opportunities of 8.4 million. It is predicted that Keenan will not be able to maintain the 2019 level of earnings growth because the high 2019 earnings level is attributable to an exceptionally profitable new product line introduced that year. After 2019, the company will return to its previous 10% growth rate. Keenans target capital structure is 40% debt and 60% equity. a. Calculate Keenans total dividends for 2019 assuming that it follows each of the following policies: 1. Its 2019 dividend payment is set to force dividends to grow at the long-run growth rate in earnings. 2. It continues the 2018 dividend payout ratio. 3. It uses a pure residual dividend policy (40% of the 8.4 million investment is financed with debt and 60% with common equity). 4. It employs a regular-dividend-plus-extras policy, with the regular dividend being based on the long-run growth rate and the extra dividend being set according to the residual dividend policy. b. Which of the preceding policies would you recommend? Restrict your choices to the ones listed but justify your answer. c. Assume that investors expect Keenan to pay total dividends of 9,000,000 in 2019 and to have the dividend grow at 10% after 2019. The stocks total market value is 180 million. What is the companys cost of equity? d. What is Keenans long-run average return on equity? [Hint: g = Retention rate ROE = (1.0 Payout rate)(ROE)] e. Does a 2019 dividend of 9,000,000 seem reasonable in view of your answers to parts c and d? If not, should the dividend be higher or lower? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardLong-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.)arrow_forward
- Financing 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_forwardAFN EQUATION Refer to Problem 16-1 and assume that the company had 3 million in assets at the end of 2019. However, now assume that the company pays no dividends. Under these assumptions, what additional funds would be needed for the coming year? Why is this AFN different from the one you found in Problem 16-1?arrow_forwardAFN EQUATION Refer to Problem 16-1. What additional funds would be needed if the companys year-end 2019 assets had been 4 million? Assume that all other numbers are the same. Why is this AFN different from the one you found in Problem 16-1? Is the companys capital intensity the same or different? Explain.arrow_forward
- Assume today is December 31, 2019. Barrington Industries expects that its 2020 after-tax operating income [EBIT(1 – T)] will be $420 million and its 2020 depreciation expense will be $70 million. Barrington's 2020 gross capital expenditures are expected to be $100 million and the change in its net operating working capital for 2020 will be $30 million. The firm's free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% annually. Assume that its free cash flow occurs at the end of each year. The firm's weighted average cost of capital is 8.8%; the market value of the company's debt is $2.15 billion; and the company has 190 million shares of common stock outstanding. The firm has no preferred stock on its balance sheet and has no plans to use it for future capital budgeting projects. Also, the firm has zero non-operating assets.
