Chapter 12, Problem 7P
Upton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers, stocks them in conveniently located warehouses, ships them to its chain of retail stores, and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Upton’s
Sales for 2019 were $350 million, and net income for the year was $10.5 million, so the firm’s profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of $4.2 million to common stockholders, so its payout ratio was 40%. Its tax rate was 25%, and it operated at full capacity. Assume that all assets/sales ratios, (spontaneous liabilities)/sales ratios, the profit margin, and the payout ratio remain constant in 2020.
- a. If sales are projected to increase by $70 million, or 20%, during 2020, use the AFN equation to determine Upton’s projected external capital requirements.
- b. Using the AFN equation, determine Upton’s self-supporting growth rate. That is, what is the maximum growth rate the firm can achieve without having to employ nonspontaneous external funds?
- c. Use the forecasted financial statement method to
forecast Upton’s balance sheet for December 31, 2020. Assume that all additional external capital is raised as a line of credit at the end of the year. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Assume Upton’s profit margin and dividend payout ratio will be the same in 2020 as they were in 2019. What is the amount of the line of credit reported on the 2020 forecasted balance sheets? (Hint: You don’t need toforecast the income statements because the line of credit is taken out on the last day of the year and you are given the projected sales, profit margin, and dividend payout ratio; these figures allow you to calculate the 2020 addition toretained earnings for the balance sheet without actually constructing a full income statement.)

Janet Foster bought a computer and printer at Computerland. The printer had a $860 list price with a $100 trade discount and 210210 , n30n30 terms. The computer had a $4,020 list price with a 25% trade discount but no cash discount. On the computer, Computerland offered Janet the choice of (1) paying $150 per month for 17 months with the 18th payment paying the remainder of the balance or (2) paying 6% interest for 18 months in equal payments.
Assume Janet could borrow the money for the printer at 6% to take advantage of the cash discount. How much would Janet save?
Note: Use 360 days a year. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
