- Long-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.

Morrissey Technologies Inc.: Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 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 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 firms current stock price of 45. a. Construct the forecasted financial statements assuming that these changes are made. What are the firms forecasted notes payable and long-term debt balances? What is the forecasted addition to retained earnings? b. If the profit margin remains at 6.25% and the dividend payout ratio remains at 60%, at what growth rate in sales will the additional financing requirements be exactly zero? In other words, what is the firms sustainable growth rate?

- Stevens 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.

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.
