a) Calculate the free cash flow generated by a firm which has earnings before interest and taxes of £30m, has depreciated its fixed assets by £1m, has invested £10m in new fixed assets and £5m in working capital during 2019 when it paid corporate tax at 20%. Explain what you have assumed about the firm’s asset base.
(b) During 2019 the firm in (a) generated revenue of £60m, its cost of goods sold was £20m and its selling, general and administrative costs were £10m. You anticipate that over the next five years revenue will grow at 5% each year, the cost of goods sold will continue to be a fixed percentage of revenue, but due to managerial efficiencies administrative costs will not change. All forms of investment, together with depreciation will have a consistent relationship with revenue. At the end of this five-year period you believe that free cash flow will grow at 2% each year. What is the company worth at the end of 2019, assuming that its weighted average cost of capital is 5%?
Argues how the liquidity of the company responds to the Working Capital needed to meet its short-term debts and operating expenses.

- Additional Funds Needed The Booth Company’s sales are forecasted to double from $1,000 in 2018 to $2,000 in 2019. 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_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?
