Payne Products had $1.6 million in sales revenues in the most recent year and expects sales growth to be 25% this year. Payne would like to determine the effect of various current assets policies on its financial performance. Payne has $1 million of fixed assets and intends to keep its debt ratio at its historical level of 60%. Payne’s debt interest rate is currently 8%. You are to evaluate three different current asset policies: (1) a restricted policy in which current assets are 45% of projected sales, (2) a moderate policy with 50% of sales tied up in current assets, and (3) a relaxed policy requiring current assets of 60% of sales. Earnings before interest and taxes are expected to be 12% of sales. Payne’s tax rate is 40%. What is the expected return on equity under each current asset level? In this problem, we have assumed that the level of expected sales is independent of current asset policy. Is this a valid assumption? Why or why not? How would the overall risk of the firm vary under each policy?

The ROE of the Midwest Corporation last year was only 3%. [Note: This information is irrelevant in this problem] This year, its management would like to have a 60% debt-to-assets ratio, which would result in the annual interest expense of $300,000. The company’s management projects the EBIT of $1,000,000 on the total Sales of $10,000,000. They expect to have the total asset turnover ratio of 2. Under these conditions, the corporate tax rate will be 34%. If the changes are made, calculate the firm’s return on equity in the current year.
An industrial firm with assets of $100 million is exploring the benefit of leveraging the balance sheet given expectations of economic growth. Currently, the firm is earning a return on assets of 9.00%, a return on equity of 15.00%, retains a debt ratio of 40% (equity to assets of 60%). The board of directors has requested management consider changing the debt ratio to 60% (equity to assets of 40%). The new debt will cost 4.00% given a credit rating downgrade. The firm will apply the proceeds of new debt to repurchase stock at book value. The firm is taxed @ 20% but expects that rate to rise in the future. First, estimate how the change in capital structure will impact pro forma net income, return on assets, and return on equity. Second, briefly indicate the advantages and risks of relying on additional debt to leverage the balance sheet.
