Question
Owen’s Electronics has nine operating plants in seven southwestern states. Sales for last year were $100 million, and the balance sheet at year-end is similar in percentage of sales to that of previous years (and this will continue in the future). All assets (including fixed assets) and current liabilities will vary directly with sales. The firm is working at full capacity.
Owen’s has an aftertax profit margin of 9 percent and a dividend payout ratio of 60 percent.
If sales grow by 20 percent next year, determine how many dollars of new funds are needed to finance the growth. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions, (e.g., $1,234,567).)
Balance Sheet(in $ millions) Assets Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Cash $ 4 Accounts payable $ 19 Accounts receivable 25 Accrued wages 7 Inventory 24 Accrued taxes 12 Current assets $ 53 Current liabilities $ 38 Fixed assets 42 Notes payable 13 Common stock 18 Retained earnings 26 Total assets $ 95 Total liabilities and
stockholders' equity $ 95
Explanation / Answer
Additional Fund needed(AFN) = (A0-L0)*Change in sales %-New sales*PM*Retention Ratio
Here, Pm= Profit margin ratio, Retention = 1-Pay Out ratio
A0 = 95
L0 = 38
Change in sales % = 20%
New Sales = 100+20% of 100 = 120
PM = 9%
Retention = 1-0.6 = 0.4
AFN = (95-38)*0.2-120*0.09*0.4
= 11.4-4.32
AFN = 7.08 Million
