ATC 7-1 Business Applications Case Preparing and using pro forma statements
Mary Helu and Jason Haynes rccently graduatcd from the same university. After graduation thcy decided not to scck jobs at cstablishcd
organizations but, rather, to start thcir own small busincss hoping they could have morc flexibility in their personal livcs for a few ycars.
Mary's family has opcrated Mexican restaurants and taco trucks for the past two gencrations, and Mary noticcd thcre were no taco truck
Scrviccs in thc town where their university was located. To reduce the amount they would need for an initial investmcnt, they decided to start
a busincss operating a taco cart rathcr than a taco truck, from which they would cook and scrve traditional Mexican-stylc strect food.
They bought a used taco cart for $18,000. This cost, along with the cost for supplics to get startcd, a business license, and street vendor
licensc brought their initial cxpenditures to S22,000. They took $5,000 from personal savings they had accumulated by working, Page 344
part time during college, and they borrowed $17,000 from Mary's parents. They agreed to pay intcrest on the outstanding loan
balance cach month based on an annual rate of 5 percent. They will repay the principal over the next few years as cash becomes available.
They were ablc to rent spacc in a parking lot ncar the campus they had attended, believing that the students would welcome their food as an
altcrnative to the typical fast food that was currently available.
After two months in business, September and October, they had average monthly revenues of $25,000 and out-of-pocket costs of $22,000 for
rent, ingredicnts, paper supplics, and so on, but not interest. Jason thinks they should repay some of the moncy they borrowed, but Mary
thinks they should prepare a sct of forecastcd financial statements for their first ycar in business before deciding whether or not to repay any
principal on the loan. She remembers a bit about budgeting from e survey of accounting course she took and thinks the results from their
first two months in business can be extended over the next 10 months to prepare the budget they need. They cstimate the cart will last at
1cast four years, after which they expect to sell it for $6,000 and move on to something clsc in their lives. Mary agrees to preparc a forccasted
(pro forma) income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows for their first year in business, which includes the two months
alrcady passed.
