Suppose that in 2016, sales increase by 10% over 2015 sales. The firm currently has 100,000
shares outstanding. It expects to maintain its 2015 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 2016 forecasted interest-bearing debt as notes payable, and it will
issue long-term bonds for the remainder. The firm forecasts that its before-tax cost of debt (which
includes both short-term and long-term debt) is 12.5%. Assume that any common stock issuances or
repurchases can be made at the firm’s current stock price of $45.
Construct the forecasted financial statements assuming that these changes are made. What is the
firm’s forecasted notes payable and long-term debt balances? What is the forecasted addition to
retained earnings?
If the profit margin remains at 5% 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.)

Krogh Lumber: Income Statement for December 31, 2012 (Thousands of Dollars)
Sales $36,000
Operating costs including depreciation 30,783
Earnings before interest and taxes $5,217
Interest 1,017
Earnings before taxes $4,200
Taxes (40%) 1,680
Net income $2,520
Dividends (60%) $1,512
Addition to retained earnings $1,008
Assume that the company was operating at full capacity in 2015 with regard to all items except fixed
assets; fixed assets in 2015 were being utilized to only 80% of capacity. By what percentage could
2016 sales increase over 2015 sales without the need for an increase in fixed assets?
Now suppose 2016 sales increase by 25% over 2015 sales. Assume that Krogh cannot sell any
fixed assets. All assets other than fixed assets will grow at the same rate as sales; however, after
reviewing industry averages, the firm would like to reduce its Operating costs/Sales ratio to 82% and
increase its debt-to-assets ratio to 42%. The firm will maintain its 60% dividend payout ratio, and it
currently has 1 million shares outstanding. The firm plans to raise 35% of its 2016 total debt as notes
payable, and it will issue bonds for the remainder. Its before-tax cost of debt is 10.5%. Any stock
issuances or repurchases will be made at the firm's current stock price of $40. Develop Krogh's
projected financial statements. What are the balances of notes payable, bonds, common stock, and
retained earnings?

Solution:2
(a)
Full capacity sales= current sales/% of capacity at which FA were operated = $36000/0.75 =
$48000
%increase = New sales-old sales/old sales=48000-36000/36000 = 33%
Therefore, sales could expand by 33 percent before the firm would need to add fixed assets.

Solution: c
The rate of return projected for 2001 under the conditions in Part b is (calculations in
thousands):
ROE = = 11.03%.
If the firm attained the industry average DSO and inventory turnover ratio, this would mean a
reduction in financial requirements of:
Receivables: = 90
If this freed capital was used to reduce equity, the new figures for common equity would be
$29,929 - $4,500 = $25,429. Assuming no change in net income, the new ROE would be:
ROE = = 13.0%.
One would, in a real analysis, want to consider both the feasibility of maintaining sales if
receivables and inventories were reduced and also other possible effects on the profit
margin. Also, note that the current ratio was $25,200/$13,192 = 1.91 in 2000. It is projected
to decline in Part b to $31,500/$18,171 = 1.73, and the latest change would cause a further
reduction to ($31,500 - $4,500)/$18,171 = 1.49. Creditors might not tolerate such a reduction
in liquidity and might insist that at least some of the freed capital be used to reduce notes
payable. Still, this would reduce interest charges, which would increase the profit margin,
which would in turn raise the ROE. Management should always consider the possibility of
changing ratios as part of financial projections
