However, the firm would like to reduce its operating costs/sales ratio to 87.5% and increase its total liabilities-to-assets ratio to 30%. (It believes its liabilities-to-assets ratio currently is too low relative to the industry average.)

- 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 firms profit margin on sates is 5%; 35% of earnings will be retained. a. What were Arringtons total liabilities in 2019? b.

Stevens grew rapidly in 2019 and financed the growth with notes payable and long-term bonds. Stevens expects sales to grow by 15% in the next year but will finance the growth with a line of credit, not notes payable or long-term bonds. Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast a balance sheet and income statement for December 31, 2020. The interest rate on all debt is 10%, and cash earns no interest income. The line of credit is added at the end of the year, which means that you should base the forecasted interest expense on the balance of debt at the beginning of the year. Use the forecasted income statement to determine the addition to retained earnings. Assume that the company was operating at full capacity in 2019, that it cannot sell off any of its fixed assets, and that assets, spontaneous liabilities, and operating costs are expected to increase by the same percentage as sales. a. What is the projected value for earnings before interest and taxes? b. What is the projected value for pre-tax earnings? c. What is the projected net income? d. What is the projected addition to retained earnings? e. What is the projected value of total current assets? f. What is the projected value of total assets? g.

The company had a 25% dividend payout ratio in 2018. If Brooks wants to maintain this payout ratio in 2019, what will be its per-share dividend in 2019? b. If the company maintains this 25% payout ratio, what will be the current dividend yield on the companys stock? c. The company reported net income of 1.35 million in 2018.

Brooks is considering maintaining the same per-share dividend in 2019 that it paid in 2018. If it chooses this policy, what will be the companys dividend payout ratio in 2019? e. Assume that the company is interested in dramatically expanding its operations and that this expansion will require significant amounts of capital. The company would like to avoid transactions costs involved in issuing new equity. Given this scenario, would it make more sense for the company to maintain a constant dividend payout ratio or to maintain the same per-share dividend? Explain.arrow_forward
