Transcribed Image Text:Migatus Enterprise is one of the top retail companies in the Philippines. Mr. Rene Tanasas, its Chief Executive
Officer (CEO), wanted to establish a simple income statement model that can forecast its company's income
in the next five (5) years. He wanted the model to do some cost analysis which includes knowing the average,
weighted average, and median of the costs for each year.
Mr. Tanasas knew that aside from being an auditor, you are also a financial modeler; thus, he approached you
to create a simple income statement model of its company. He gave you the following information for the past
two (2) years of its operations:
Income Statement
20X1
20X2
Revenues
P300,000
P400,000
Less: Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
120,000
275,000
Gross Profit
180,000
20,000
125,000
21,200
Less: General, Selling, and Administrative Expenses
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA)
Less: Depreciation Expense
160,000
103,800
12,000
12,000
3,500
144,500
3,500
88,300
Interest
Earnings Before Taxes (EBT)
Less: Taxes
Net Income
43,350
26,490
P101,150
P61,810
Based on the above data, Mr. Tanasas came up with the following assumptions for the next five (5) years:
The sales growth will remain constant.
The percentage of COGS against sales is equal to the average percentage of the above COGSS.
The general and administrative expenses will be P20,000 per year.
The interest will increase by P6,500, and the tax rate will decrease to 20%.
The depreciation expense is equal to 4% of sales.
The amount of standard total operating expenses of the company per year is 400,000.
The company has the following weight for its costs:
o Cost of Goods Sold, 55%;
o General, Selling, and Administrative Expenses, 20%;
o Depreciation Expenses, 10%;
Interest Expenses, 5%; and
Taxes, 10%
