Chapter 16, Problem 8P

LONG-TERM FINANCING NEEDED At year-end 2019, total assets for Arrington Inc. were $1.8 million and accounts payable were $450,000. Sales, which in 2019 were $3.0 million, are expected to increase by 25% in 2020. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained; that is, they will grow at the same rate as sales. Arrington typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $500,000 in 2019, and retained earnings were $475,000. Arrington plans to sell new common stock in the amount of $130,000. The firm’s profit margin on sates is 5%; 35% of earnings will be retained.

  1. a. What were Arrington’s total liabilities in 2019?
  2. b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2020? (Hint: AFN - New stock = New long-term debt.)

Summary Introduction

To Determine: The new long-term debt financing needed in 2020.

Answer to Problem 8P

The new long-term debt financing needed in 2020 is $141,875.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the sales for the year 2020

Sales2019=[Sales2018×(1+IncreaseinSales)]=[$3,000,000×(1+25%)]=$3,750,000

Therefore, the sales for the year 2020 is $3,750,000.

Determine the change in sales

ChangeinSales=[Sales2019Sales2018]=[$3,750,000$3,000,000]=$750,000

Therefore the change in sales is $750,000.

Determine the total liabilities of Company AI in 2020

AFN=[(A0*S0)×ΔS(L0*S0)×ΔS(M×S1×RR)SaleofCommonStock]=[($1,800,000$3,000,000)×$750,000($450,000$3,000,000)×$750,000(5%×$3,750,000×35%)$130,000]=[(0.6×$750,000)(0.15×$750,000)$65,625$130,000]=[$450,000$112,500$65,625$130,000]=$141,875

Here,

AFN - Denotes additional funds needed

(A0*S0)×ΔS - Denotes projected increase in assets

(L0*S0)×ΔS- Denotes spontaneous increase in liabilities

(M×S1×RR) - Denotes increase in retained earnings

Therefore, the new long-term debt financing needed in 2020 is $141,875.
