Suppose that in 2013, sales increase by 15% over 2012 sales. The firm currently has 100,000 shares outstanding. It expects to maintain its 2012 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 89.5% and increase its total debt-to-assets ratio to 30%. (It believes that its current debt ratio is too low relative to the industry average.) The firm will raise 30% of 2013 forecasted total 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-term and long-term debt) is 12%. Assume that any common stock issuances or repurchases can be made at the firm's current stock price of $45.

  1. Construct the forecasted financial statements assuming that these changes are made. What are the firm's forecasted notes payable and long-term debt balances? What is the forecasted addition to retained earnings? Round your answers to the nearest cent.

In otherwords, what is the firm's sustainable growth rate? (Hint: Set AFN equal to zero and solve for g.) Round your answer to two decimal places.
