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
- a. 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 ? - 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 firm’s sustainable growth rate? (Hint: Set AFN equal to zero and solve for g.)

Quantitative Problem 1: Beasley Industries' sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2019 to $6 million in 2020, or by 20%. Its assets totaled $2 million at the end of 2019. Beasley is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities are $790,000, consisting of $160,000 of accounts payable, $350,000 of notes payable, and $280,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and its dividend payout ratio is 60%. Using the AFN equation, forecast the additional funds Beasley will need for the coming year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.$
The AFN equation assumes that ratios remain constant. However, firms are not always operating at full capacity so adjustments need to be made to the existing asset forecast. Excess capacity adjustments are changes made to the existing asset forecast because the firm is not operating at full capacity. For…

- LONG-TERM FINANCING NEEDED At year-end 2019, total assets for Arrington Inc. were 1.8 million and accounts payable were 450,000. Sales, which in 2019 were 3.0 million, are expected to increase by 25% in 2020. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained; that is, they will grow at the same rate as sales. Arrington typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to 500,000 in 2019, and retained earnings were 475,000. Arrington plans to sell new common stock in the amount of 130,000. The firms profit margin on sates is 5%; 35% of earnings will be retained. a. What were Arringtons total liabilities in 2019? b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2020? (Hint: AFN - New stock = New long-term debt.)arrow_forwardStevens 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. What is the projected sum of accounts payable, accruals, and notes payable? h. What is the forecasted line of credit?

Prior to reporting this income statement, the company wants to determine its annual dividend. The company has 320,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and its stock trades at 37 per share. a. The company had a 25% dividend payout ratio in 2018. If Brooks wants to maintain this payout ratio in 2019, what will be its per-share dividend in 2019? b. If the company maintains this 25% payout ratio, what will be the current dividend yield on the companys stock? c. The company reported net income of 1.35 million in 2018. Assume that the number of shares outstanding has remained constant. What was the companys per-share dividend in 2018? d. As an alternative to maintaining the same dividend payout ratio. Brooks is considering maintaining the same per-share dividend in 2019 that it paid in 2018. If it chooses this policy, what will be the companys dividend payout ratio in 2019? e. Assume that the company is interested in dramatically expanding its operations and that this expansion will require significant amounts of capital. The company would like to avoid transactions costs involved in issuing new equity. Given this scenario, would it make more sense for the company to maintain a constant dividend payout ratio or to maintain the same per-share dividend? Explain.arrow_forward
