Krogh Lumben Income Statement for December 31, 2016 (Thousands of Dollars)

Sales $36,000
Operating costs including depredation 30,783
Earnings before interest and taxes $ 5,217
Interest 1,017
Earnings before taxes $ 4,200
Taxes (40%) 1,680
Net income $ 2,520
Dividends (60%) $ 1,512
Addition to retained earnings $ 1,008
  1. a. Assume that the company was operating at full capacity in 2016 with regard to all items except fixed assets; fixed assets in 2016 were being utilized to only 75% of capacity. By what percentage could 2017 sales increase over 2016 sales without the need for an increase in fixed assets?
  2. b. Now suppose 2017 sales increase by 25% over 2016 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 2017 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 long­term debt) is 11%. Any stock issuances or repurchases will be made at the firm’s current stock price of $40. Develop Krogh’s projected financial statements like those shown in Table 16.2. What are the balances of notes payable, bonds, common stock, and retained earnings?
