Problem 12-7
Forecasted Statements and Ratios
Upton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers, stocks them in conveniently located warehouses, ships them to its chain of retail stores, and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Upton's balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, is shown here (millions of dollars):
Cash | $ 3.5 | Accounts payable | $ 9.0 | |
Receivables | 26.0 | Notes payable | 18.0 | |
Inventories | 58.0 | Line of credit | 0 | |
Total current assets | $ 87.5 | Accruals | 8.5 | |
Net fixed assets | 35.0 | Total current liabilities | $ 35.5 | |
Mortgage loan | 6.0 | |||
Common stock | 15.0 | |||
Retained earnings | 66.0 | |||
Total assets | $122.5 | Total liabilities and equity | $122.5 |
Sales for 2013 were $375 million and net income for the year was $11.25 million, so the firm's profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of $4.5 million to common stockholders, so its payout ratio was 40%. Its tax rate is 40%, and it operated at full capacity. Assume that all assets/sales ratios, spontaneous liabilities/sales ratios, the profit margin, and the payout ratio remain constant in 2014. Do not round intermediate calculations.
If sales are projected to increase by $70 million, or 18.67%, during 2014, use the AFN equation to determine Upton's projected external capital requirements. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Using the AFN equation, determine Upton's self-supporting growth rate. That is, what is the maximum growth rate the firm can achieve without having to employ nonspontaneous external funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast Upton's balance sheet for December 31, 2014. Assume that all additional external capital is raised as a line of credit at the end of the year and is reflected (because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt).
Assume Upton's profit margin and dividend payout ratio will be the same in 2014 as they were in 2013. What is the amount of the line of credit reported on the 2014 forecasted balance sheets? (Hint: You don't need to forecast the income statements because you are given the projected sales, profit margin, and dividend payout ratio; these figures allow you to calculate the 2014 addition to retained earnings for the balance sheet.) Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Q.
After the financial analysis based on 2016 preliminary estimates was completed, a number of changes were adopted to improve financial and business results for S&S Air during 2016. The customer that awarded the large 40 aircraft order agreed to make interim payments as finished aircraft were delivered (for a price concession). Revenue was revised up slightly due to updated marketing plans. Expenses were trimmed and controls were established that greatly reduced on hand inventory needs. A portion of the line of credit was converted to a 5 year, fixed rate loan. Cash on hand and general liquidity was forecasted to improve to acceptable levels by the end of the year.
Mark and Marie approached Chris about creating a forecast for 2017. They had learned the value of the financial analysis done for 2016 and wanted to get a look at any issues or problems that might be looming in the future. Of particular concern was the continuing need for external funds as the firm continued to grow. The general consensus of Mark and Marie was that S&S Air should realize an increase in revenue of 17% in 2017 from the 2016 results, based on anticipated demand of aircraft. It was felt expenses would change by the same percent of sales as incurred in 2016. However, it was estimated that annual depreciation in 2017 would increase 70% (to a total of $1,075,000), due to the substantial increase in assets that were going to be needed. Finally, Chris said that her banking contract indicted that interest expense should be about 8% of both notes payable and long term debt in 2017.
By the end of 2016, the firm would be operating at capacity; it was estimated that further growth in 2017 would require $6,500,000 (including all depreciation â that is, adding $6.5 million to the 2016 Net PP&E to derive PP&E for 2017) in plant upgrades and additions to meet anticipated production volume. Everyone felt that all other asset categories (including cash) and current liabilities (including the line of credit) would change by percent of revenue. Both owners were concerned about where any needed external financing would come from. Neither was interested in raising any further equity, and agreed that they would likely secure long term financing for any external funds needed. The plan was to pay dividends totaling $400,000 in 2017.
Chris knew that a key exhibit would be the forecast mode. She planned to set up the model so that a key input would be the sales growth forecast. The âplugâ to reconcile the balance sheet would be long term debt.
Q U E S T I O N S (please use full sentences)
1) Completed forecast model. Fill in all blanks for the 2017 and 2017 % of rev columns.
2) Compare PM, ROA, and ROE from 2016 to 2017. Why the differences?
3) Compare debt ratios from 2016 to 2017. Why the differences?
4) Compare total asset turnover from 2016 to 2017. Why the difference? What observations can you make regarding capacity utilization from 2016 to 2017?
5) Estimate the maximum revenue possible given the new level of assets in 2017, based on TATO in 2016 (at full capacity).
6) If COGS could be decreased by 1% of revenue, how much increase in EBIT would result? Express the change in EBIT in both dollar terms and % change.
7) Do a DuPont analysis on S&S Air for both 2016 and 2017. If the owners asked you for any issues or concerns about the basic results forecasted for 2017, what would you tell them? Consider operating, investing, and financing issues.
