Discussion Questions (DQs)
1. Answer Question 12-1 thru 12-7 on pp. 500-501.
2. Submit Problems 12-1 thru 12-9 on pp. 503-505.

12-1 Solution:
Given here,
Growth rate in Sales (g) = 20%
Spontaneous assets (A*) = $3 Million 
Spontaneous liabilities (L*) = Accounts payable + Accruals = $250,000 + $ 250,000 = $500,000                 
                                             = $0.5 Million
 Sales in 2010, (S0) = $5 Million 
 Expected Sales in 2011 (S1) = $6 Million
Working Notes: [S0 (1+g) = $5 Million (1+0.20) = $6 Million]
Therefore,(change in sales), DS = S1 – S0 = $6 Million – $5 Million = $1 Million
Profit Margin (PM) = Net profit margin/Constant profit margin = 5%
Payout Ratio (DPR or POR) = 70%
Notes Payable = $500,000
Baxter’s additional funds needed for the coming year (AFN) =?
Here,
We have formula:
            AFN = (A*/S0) ∆S - (L*/S0) ∆S – PM x S1 (1 - DPR)
 = $1,000,000 – $1,000,000 – 0.05($6,000,000) (1 – 0.7)
 = (0.6)($1,000,000) – (0.1)($1,000,000) – ($300,000)(0.3)
 = $600,000 – $100,000 – $90,000
 = $ 410,000.
Therefore, Baxter’s additional funds needed for the coming year (AFN) = $0.41Million where the sales growth is 20% in the year.
12-2 Solution:
Given, Spontaneous assets (A*) = $4 Million and,
Other remaining variables taking constant:

            AFN = (A*/S0) ∆S - (L*/S0)∆S – PM x S1(1 - DPR)
= $1,000,000 – $1,000,000 – 0.05($6,000,000)(1 – 0.7)
                   = (0.8) ($1,000,000) – (0.1)($1,000,000) – ($300,000)(0.3)
                   = $800,000– $100,000 – $90,000
 = $610,000.
            Thus, the additional funds needed for the company’s is $610,000.This AFN is different from the one calculated in Problem 12-1. In 12-1 extra amount needed for an asset was less than in 12-2 since assets has been increased by Rs. 1,00,000 (mathematically, 4,000,000 – 3,000,000). As capital intensity ratio (A*/S0) has been increased AFN also increases in 12-2.
The company’s capital intensity ratio for the company is:
For problem 12-1, A*/ S0 = $300,000 / $500,000 = 0.6 and
For problem 12-2, A*/ S0 = $400,000 / $500,000 = 0.8
            Therefore, from the above Calculation it can be said that company’s capital intensity ratio is different and higher than that of the intensity ratio in Problem 12-1 showing the company being more capital intensive-it would require a large increase in total assets to support the increase in sales.
12-3 Solution:
 Here given,
Payout Ratio (DPR or POR) = Nil or 0% and all the other variables or numbers including
Sales remaining as mention in 12-1 are same. Then, according to the question,
AFN = (A*/S0) ∆S - (L*/S0) ∆S – PM x S1(1 - DPR)
              = (0.6) ($1,000,000) - (0.1)($1,000,000) - 0.05($6,000,000)(1 - 0)
              = $600,000 - $100,000 - $300,000
              = $200,000.
Hence, the required additional funds needed for the coming year would be $200,000 if payout ratio is 0%.
            This AFN is different and lower than from the one calculated in Problem 12-1. In 12-3 the company retains excess profit on retained earnings which is (100% retained) than in 12-1 (30% retained). So, AFN decreases in 12-3 because if there are more retained earnings in the company then it increases the more internal source of financing. If internal source is increased then there is less chances of allocate the fund from the external source. As in question already mention that there has been retained only 30% in problem 12.1 and in 12.3 the whole percent which is 100% has retained. There only requires less external fund source in problem 12.3 as compare to problem 12.1 due to higher difference in retained profit.

12-4 Solution:
Here given,
 Sales in 2010, S0 = $2,000,000
Spontaneous assets, A* = $1,500,000
Notes Payable in 2010 = $200,000; Accounts Payable in 2010 = $200,000; Accruals in 2010 = $100,000;
Therefore, Spontaneous liabilities, L* = Accounts Payable + Accruals = $200,000 + $100,000 = $300,000
Profit Margin, PM = 5%
Payout ratio, DPR or POR = 60%.
Then, a sales increment (∆S) that the company can achieve without having to raise funds externally (AFN = $0); that is, its self-supporting growth rate = ?
We have,
          AFN = (A*/S0)∆S - (L*/S0)∆S – PM x S1(1 - DPR)
            $0 =∆S –∆S – 0.05 x S1 (1 – 0.6)
$0 = (0.75) ∆S – (0.15)∆S - 0.05 x S1 (1 - 0.6)
$0 = (0.75 ) ∆S - (0.15)∆S - (0.02)S1
$0 = (0.6)∆S - (0.02)S1
$0 = 0.6(S1 - S0) - (0.02)S1
$0 = 0.6(S1 - $2,000,000) - (0.02)S1
$0 = 0.6S1 - $1,200,000 - 0.02S1
$1,200,000 = 0.58S1
$2,068,965.52 = S1.
            Therefore, a company can achieve sales increment of ∆S = S1 - S0 = $2,068,965.52 –  $2,000,000 = $68,965.52 without raising additional funds externally.

12-5 Solution:
 Total Assets or Spontaneous assets 2010, (A*) = $1.2 Million 
Accounts Payable, 2010 = $375,000.
Existing Sales, 2010, (S0) = $2.5 Million 
Sales Growth (g) = 25%
 Expected Sales, 2011 (S1) = S0(1+g) = $2.5 Million(1+0.25) = $3.125 Million
 Spontaneous liabilities, 2010 (L*) = Accounts payable = $375,000 = $0.375 Million
And, DS = S1 – S0 = $3.125 Million – $2.5 Million = $0.625 Million
Common Stocks, 2010 = $425,000;
Retained Earnings, 2010 = $295,000
New Common Stocks, 2011 = $75,000
Profit Margin on sales (PM) = 6%
Payout Ratio (DPR or POR) = 40%
Bertin’s Total Long-Term Debt and Total Liabilities in 2010 =?
New long-term debt financing to be needed in 2011 =?
a)      From the Accounting Equation is:
     Total Assets in 2010 = Total Debt in 2010 + Total Equity in 2010 (Common Stocks + Retained Earnings)
      $1,200,000 = Total Debt + ($425,000 + $295,000)
     Thus, Total Debt = $1,200,000 – $720,000 = $480,000.
    And we know, Total Debt = Current Liability (Account Payable only) + Long-Term Debt
   Thus, Long-Term Debt = Total Debt – Account Payable = $480,000 – $375,000 = $105,000.
Or,
           
$1,200,000 = $375,000 + Long-term debt + $425,000 + $295,000
Long-term debt = $105,000.
And, Total debt = Accounts payable + Long-term debt
           = $375,000 + $105,000 = $480,000.
(b) Again,
We know that,
AFN = (A*/S0) ∆S - (L*/S0) ∆S – PM x S1(1 - DPR)
= $625,000 – $625,000 – 0.06($3,125,000)(1 – 0.4)
 = (0.48) ($625,000) – (0.15) ($625,000) – 0.06 x ($3,125,000)(0.6)
 = $300,000– $93,750 – $112,500
 = $93,750
Then, we get
Therefore, New long-term debt for 2011 = AFN−New stock for 2011 = $93,750 – $75,000 = $18,750

12-6 Solution:
According to question,
We have,
 Existing Sales in 2010, S0 = $1,000
Expected Sales in 2011, S1 = $2,000
Capacity Utilization of fixed assets during 2010 = 50%
Profit Margin, PM = 5%
Payout Ratio, DPR = 60%
Booth’s additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year 2011 =?
We have,
Forecasted Balance Sheet for the year ending 2011:
Assets
Amount
Cash [($100/1000) x 2000]

400
Common stock
100
Retained earnings (250 + 40)
290
Total liabilities and equity
$1,140
Additional Fun Needed (AFN)
$360

Therefore, if a fixed asset has been utilized at 50% capacity and sales increases by 100%, the AFN is $360.
Here, we assume that additional fund needed is financed by short-term bank loan, so it is reflected in Notes Payable as:
Additional fund needed (AFN) through notes payable = New notes payable - old notes payable
                                                  = New notes payable - old notes payable
                                                  = $510 - $150 = $360.
Where,
Full Capacity Sales = = $1,000/0.5 = $2,000.

Target Fixed Assets to Sales ratio = = $500/$2,000 = 0.25.

Target Fixed Assets = 0.25($2,000) = $500 = Required FA.  Since the firm currently has $500 of fixed assets, no new fixed assets will be required.
Therefore, addition to Retained Earnings = PM x (S1) (1 – DPR) = 0.05($2,000)(1 – 0.6) = $40.
12-7 Solution:
 Sales for 2010, S0 = $350 Million
Net Income for 2010, NI = $10.5 Million
Profit Margin, PM = 3% or 0.03
Dividend Paid = $4.2 Million
 Payout ratio, DPR = 40% or 0.4,
Tax rate, T = 40% or 0.4,
If Company operating at full capacity then,
(a)    If sales are projected to increase by $70 Million (DS), or 20% (g), the sales for 2011, S1 = $350 Million + $70 Million = $420 Million.
Then, Upton’s projected external capital requirements using AFN equation is:
            AFN = (A*/S0) (DS) – (L*/S0) (DS) – PM x S1(1 – DPR)
            = ($70) - ($70) – 0.03 ($420)(1 – 0.4) [Figures in Millions] = $13.44 Million.

            Where,
Spontaneous assets 2010, (A*) = $3.5 M + $26 M + $58 M + $35 M = $122.5 Million 
Sales Growth (g) = 20%
Spontaneous liabilities, 2010 (L*) = Accounts payable + Accruals = $9 M + $8.5 M = $17.5 Million
And, DS = $70 Million

(b)   Using the AFN equation, the required Upton’s self-supporting growth rate is calculated as:
We know, g = [PM (1 – POR) x So] / [A0* – L0* - PM (1–POR) x S0]
= [0.03(1 – 0.4) x $350] / [$122.5 – $17.5 – 0.03 (1 – 0.40) x $350] {Figures in Millions}
= 6.38%.
Therefore, the maximum growth rate the firm can achieve without having to employ non spontaneous external funds, g = 6.38%

Payout = $4.2 M / $10.5 M = 40%.
NI = $350 ´ 1.2 ´ 0.03 = $12.6.
Addition to RE = NI - DIV = $12.6 - 0.4($12.6) = 0.6($12.6) = $7.56.

Here, we can assume that additional fund needed is financed by short-term bank loan, and hence, it is reflected in Notes Payable. Hence, the required amount of notes payable reported on the 2011 forecasted balance sheets is = $31.44 Millions.
Or, Additional fund needed (AFN) through notes payable = New notes payable - old notes payable
      New notes payable = Additional fund needed (AFN) + old notes payable
                                     = $13.44 M + $18.0 M = $31.44 Millions.
12-8 Solution:

      Hence, from the above forecasted financial statements, the required Additional Fund Needed (AFN) = $2,128. Here, we assume that additional fund needed is financed by short-term bank loan, so it is reflected in Notes Payable.
Notes payable can be calculate by:
Additional fund needed (AFN) through notes payable = New notes payable - old notes payable
                                                  =  New notes payable - old notes payable
                                                  = $4,228 - $2,100 = $2,128.

Therefore, the resulting total forecasted amount of Notes Payable = $4,288.
c.       Suppose, if the new debt is added throughout the year instead of adding at the end of the year, then this change definitely affects the answers to parts (a) & (b). This is because interest expense on debt at end of year will over-estimate interest expense if debt is added throughout the year instead of all on January 1. Hence, more debt causes more interest, which reduces net income, which reduces retained earnings, which causes more debt. Basing interest expense on debt at beginning of year will under-estimate interest expense if debt is added throughout the year instead of all on December 31. But it doesn’t cause problem of circularity. Basing interest expense on average of beginning and ending debt will accurately estimate the interest payments if debt is added smoothly throughout the year.   But it has the problem of circularity. A solution that balances accuracy and complexity is to base interest expense on beginning debt, but use a slightly higher interest rate.

Given, sales growth (g) = 10%

Total liability & equity         $2,700,000                                      $2,841,217                   $2,970,000                                                   
 Additional Fund Needed (AFN):                                                                                       $128,783

                                                                             
Hence, from the above forecasted financial statements, we got the required Additional Fund Needed (AFN) = $128,783 for the company. We had assumed that additional fund needed is financed by short-term bank loan, so it is reflected in Notes Payable.
Or,
Additional fund needed (AFN) through notes payable = New notes payable - old notes payable
                                           = New notes payable - old notes payable
                                           = $284,783 - $156,000 = $128,783.

Also, the required Notes Payable = $284,783.
