The most recent financial statements for GPS, Inc., are shown here:

Income Statement   Balance Sheet  
  Sales $ 33,900     Assets $ 56,800     Debt $ 22,400  
  Costs   24,800             Equity   34,400  
 

   

   

 
  Taxable income $ 9,100       Total $ 56,800       Total $ 56,800  
         



   



 
  Taxes (40%)   3,640                  
 

                 
    Net income $ 5,460  
 



 


Assets and costs are proportional to sales. Debt and equity are not. A dividend of $1,600 was paid, and the company wishes to maintain a constant payout ratio. Next year’s sales are projected to be $40,680.

What is the external financing needed?

Explanation:
An increase of sales to $40,680 is an increase of:

Sales increase =  ($40,680 – 33,900) / $33,900
Sales increase =  0.20, or 20%

Assuming costs and assets increase proportionally, the pro forma financial statements will look like this:

  Pro forma income statement   Pro forma balance sheet  
  Sales $ 40,680   Assets $ 68,160   Debt $ 22,400  
  Costs   29,760           Equity   39,032  
 

   

   

 
  EBIT $ 10,920     Total $ 68,160     Total $ 61,432  
         



   



 
  Taxes (40%)   4,368                  
 

                 
  Net income $ 6,552    
 



                 


The payout ratio is constant, so the dividends paid this year is the payout ratio from last year times net income, or:

Dividends =  ($1,600 / $5,460)($6,552)
Dividends =  $1,920

The addition to retained earnings is:

Addition to retained earnings =  $6,552 – 1,920
Addition to retained earnings =  $4,632

And the new equity balance is:

Equity =  $34,400 + 4,632
Equity =  $39,032

So the EFN is:

EFN =  Total assets – Total liabilities and equity
EFN =  $68,160 – 61,432
EFN =  $6,728

  1. The most recent financial statements for Cornwall, Inc., are shown here:



    Income Statement Balance Sheet
    Sales $ 7,300 Current assets $ 4,000 Current liabilities $ 2,200
    Costs 5,950 Fixed assets 9,800 Long-term debt 3,750


    Taxable income $ 1,350 Equity 7,850



    Taxes (34%) 459 Total $ 13,800 Total $ 13,800




    Net income $ 891




    Assets, costs, and current liabilities are proportional to sales. Long-term debt and equity are not. The company maintains a constant 30 percent dividend payout ratio. As with every other firm in its industry, next year’s sales are projected to increase by exactly 10 percent.
