Question

The CEO of North American Manufacturing Company has asked you to (a) complete the projected income statement and projected balance sheet for the coming fiscal year (FY) of the company using the information set forth below. She has also asked you to (b) determine the amount of any additional external financing the company will require during the coming fiscal year and (c) assess the reasonableness of the projections in relation to the company’s estimated cost of equity capital, rE, and its sustainable sales growth rate.

Use the average gross margin during the preceding two-year period to project the amount of gross profit.

Use the average ratio of "all other S&A-to-sales revenue" during the preceding two-year period to project the amount of all other S&A expense.

Use the average amount of R&D expense during the two preceding FYs to project the amount of this expense.

The estimated combined effective income tax rate during the projected FY is 0.40 (40.0 percent).

Project the balances of cash and cash equivalents, total current assets, and total liabilities as “residual amounts” using the general methodology examined in Topic 9 of the course. Project total assets using the projected balance of total liabilities and shareholders' equity. Project the balance of total liabilities and stockholders' equity based on projected total stockholders' equity and a targeted total debt ratio (ratio of total liabilities-to-total stockholders' equity) of 0.70 (70 percent).

Project the balance of accounts receivable (AR) using a projected average AR collection period ratio of 45 days.

Project the balance of inventory using a projected average days to sell inventory ratio of 90 days.

Project the balance of other assets using the average balance of this item during the two preceding FYs.

Project the balance of accounts payable (AP) using projected "cash costs" and a projected average AP payment period of 45 days. "Cash costs" include projected COGS and operating expenses, excluding depreciation.

Project the balance of dividends payable as the dividends that the company expects to declare during the final week of the projected FY (based on net income for that year) and pay early in the next FY. The company's payout ratio (dividend policy) is 0.40 (40 percent).

The company plans no issuances (or repurchases) of common stock during the projected FY.

Project retained earnings (RE) using projected net income and projected dividends to be declared near the end of the projected FY.

The company’s estimated cost of equity capital, rE, is 0.227 (22.7 percent), computed using CAPM as:    rF + x (rMrF) = 0.04 + 2.2 x (0.125 – 0.04)

Also the sustainable growth rate in sales based on projections is 14.91% compared to 13.62% based on the rE figure. As there is not much divergence between projected figures and the those derived basedon rEfigures, the projections given are sustainable.
