Financial Statements:
a.
Explanation of Solution

Therefore, the After-tax operating income for 2019 is -$28,614.
Calculate the Net Operating Working Capital for 2019:
Therefore, the Net Operating Working Capital for 2019 is $905,760.

- The effects of expansion have not been good as per the income statement and operating capital.
Therefore, the effect of expansion on sales have been good, however on after tax operating income, NOWC and net income effect of expansion has not been good.
b.
To identify: The effect of expansion on free cash flows.
b.
Explanation of Solution
Free cash flows:
Effect of expansion on free cash flows:
- Free cash flows of the company have been reduced due to expansion.
- Current year free cash flows became negative.
- Thus, effect of expansion on free cash flows is not positive.
Working Notes:
Computation of free cash flows:
Therefore the free cash flow for 2019 is -$744,564.
Computation of market value added:
Therefore, the market value added for 2019 is -$267,592 and 2018 is $182,232. Thus, the effect of expansion on free cash flows has not been good.
c.
To identify: The time taken by company to repay its suppliers and problems generally faced by a company in case the suppliers are not paid within time.
c.
Explanation of Solution
Effect of expansion ontime taken by company to repay its suppliers:
- The accounts payable has been increase to 260% from the past year, whereas the sales has increased by 78.5%.
- Days payable outstanding is the time taken by company to repay its suppliers.
- Due to expansion days payable outstanding have been increased.
- Therefore, the effect of expansion on the time taken by the company to repay its suppliers is that average time to repay has been increased by 16 days.
- Thus, effect of expansion has not been good on time taken by a company to repay its suppliers.
Problems faced by a company if it doesn’t pay its creditors on time:
- In case of extended delays creditors may sue the company for nonpayment.
- Creditors may start preferring selling to other companies.
- Public image of the company may get deteriorated.
- Creditors may start interfering and pressurizing the company.
Therefore, effect of expansion has not been good on time taken by a company to repay its suppliers.
d.
To identify: The increase in cost of goods sold and its comparison with sales.
d.
Explanation of Solution
Analysis of COGS after expansion program:
It doesn't show up the Company D’s sales cost, as it surpasses its expenses per unit sold as demonstrated in the income statement. The organization is spending additional money than it is taking in and, subsequently, the money account balance has diminished.
e.
To identify: The effect of increase in credit terms with or without affecting sales.
e.
Explanation of Solution
Effect of increase in the credit terms with or without affecting sales:
By broadening the sales credit terms, it would take more time for Company D to get its cash, where its cash account would diminish and its accounts receivable would develop. Since accumulations would decrease, accounts payable would develop as well. Inventory would need to be developed and perhaps fixed assets too prior to sales which could be expanded. Accounts receivable would rise and money would decrease. A lot later, when accumulations expanded money would increase. Company D would most likely need to obtain or sell stock to fund the expansion.
Therefore, the effect of increase in credit terms without affecting sales doubles the average receivable outstanding.
f.
To identify: The possibility of declining cash balance due to large volume of units with positive contribution per unit.
f.
Explanation of Solution
The possibility of declining cash balance due to large volume of units with positive contribution per unit:
- Contribution per unit is the per unit value arrived after reducing the selling prize by cost of goods sold.
- Positive contribution is not a guarantee to positive cash flows since, there are various expenses incurred after the units are being produced.
- As discussed in the question advertisement campaign have been used that would have resulted in
cash outflows. - The declining cash balance due to large volume of units with positive contribution per unit is possible since with increase in volume requirement of working capital and fixed capital also increases.
Therefore, the declining cash balance due to large volume of units with positive contribution per unit is possible since with increase in volume requirement of working capital and fixed capital also increases.
g.
To identify: The source of funds used in expansion program and its effects on company’s financial health.
g.
Explanation of Solution
Funds used in expansion program and its effects:
- Long term debt is a non current liability while notes payable is a short-term liability.
- Besides that company extended the repayment period of suppliers resulting in increase in current liabilities.
- Company D has financed its expansion with outside capital as opposed to inside produced reserves. Specifically, Company D issued long-term debt as opposed to common stock, which decreased its monetary quality and adaptability.
Therefore, mostly the external funds are used in expansion program and it affected the debt component to increase total sources of funds resulting in increase of burden of interest costs and repayment obligations.
h.
To identify: The asset expansion being the reason of cash shortage and consequent use of external capital.
h.
Explanation of Solution
Effect of asset expansion:
- Since, increase in sales did not resulted in surplus of income; internally, funds are not generated to fund the procurement.
- Also, cash flow from operating activities is almost similar to the net income suggesting that procurement of assets wasn’t funded by the increase in operating credit facilities.
- Implies that, external funds are raised due to the requirement to procure assets used in expansion.
- Therefore, asset expansion is the reason of cash shortage and consequent use of external capital.
Therefore, asset expansion is the reason of cash shortage and consequent use of external capital.
i1.
To identify: Whether change in useful life of the assets would affect physical stock of assets.
i1.
Explanation of Solution

i2.
To identify: Whether change in useful life of the assets would affect balance sheet account of fixed assets.
i2.
Explanation of Solution
The effect of change in useful life of the assets on balance sheet account of fixed assets:
- Due to change in useful life from ten to seven years depreciation per annum gets increased.
- Such depreciation is to be calculated on the basis of prospective basis since the change in useful life of the asset is change in accounting estimate.
- The burden of increase in depreciation is recorded in the year of change that is current year.
- In balance sheet, current year depreciation will increase and net amount of assets will decrease consequently.
- Therefore, asset account in balance sheet will reduce due to the revision of change in useful life of the asset.
Therefore, asset account in balance sheet will reduce due to the revision of change in useful life of the asset.
i3.
To identify: Whether change in useful life of the assets would affect the net income.
i3.
Explanation of Solution
The effect of change in useful life of the assets on net income of the year:
- Due to change in useful life from ten to seven years depreciation per annum gets increased.
- Such depreciation is to be calculated on the basis of prospective basis since the change in useful life of the asset is change in accounting estimate.
- The burden of increase in depreciation is recorded in the year of change that is current year.
- Therefore, increase in depreciation would reduce the net income of the current year.
Therefore, increase in depreciation would reduce the net income of the current year.
i4.
To identify: Whether change in useful life of the assets would affect the change in cash position.
i4.
Explanation of Solution
The effect of change in useful life of the assets on cash position:
- Depreciation is a non cash item and is charged on the basis of estimate made by the management.
- Since, depreciation is a non cash expense it does not change the cash position og the entity.
- However increase in depreciation due to reduction of useful life will reduce the cash burden of the entity.
- Therefore cash balance will get increased to the extent of proportion of tax reduced due to increase in depreciation.
Therefore cash balance will get increased to the extent of proportion of tax reduced due to increase in depreciation.
