Question

LONG-TERM FINANCING NEEDED

At year-end 2016, total assets for Arrington Inc. were $1.5 million and accounts payable were $325,000. Sales, which in 2016 were $2.3 million, are expected to increase by 30% in 2017. 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 $350,000 in 2016, and retained earnings were $215,000. Arrington plans to sell new common stock in the amount of $115,000. The firm's profit margin on sales is 6%; 45% of earnings will be retained.

Explanation / Answer

Part 1 Total Assets = Current liabilities + Long term debt + Common stock + Retained earnings $                     1,500,000 = 325000 + Long term debt + 350000 + 215000 $                     1,500,000 = 890000 + Long term debt Long term debt = 1500000-890000 $                  610,000 Total liabilities = Accounts payable + long term debt 325000+610000 $                  935,000 part 2 Sales(2016) = $              2,300,000 Add: 30% growth = $                  690,000 Total sales(2017) = $              2,990,000 Profit margin at 6% =                      179,400 Retention at 45% = $                    80,730 Addition to retained earnings Total assets(2016) =                   1,500,000 Accounts payable(2016) =                325,000 Add: 30% growth =                      450,000 Add: 30% growth =                  97,500 Total assets(2017 =                   1,950,000 Accounts payable(2017) =                422,500 Common stock(2016) =                      350,000 Retained earnings(2016) =                215,000 Add: New issued =                      115,000 Add: addition to RE =                  80,730 Common stock(2017) =                      465,000 Retained earnings(2017) =                295,730 Total Assets = Current liabilities + Long term debt + Common stock + Retained earnings $                     1,950,000 = 422500 + Long term debt + 465000 + 295730 $                     1,950,000 = 1183230 + Long term debt Long term debt = 1950000-1183230 $                  766,770 AFN = 2017 debt - 2016 debt 766770-610000 $                  156,770
