a. In 2018, since the growth rate is expected to be 15%, the assets will become,
assets = 3200*1.15 = 3680. Hence, funding is required for $480 (3680-3200).
Income statment for 2017 and 2018 are given below.
2017 | 2018 | ||
Sales | 1000 | 1150 | 1000*1.15 |
Costs | 190 | 218.50 | 190*1.15 |
Operating profit | 810 | 931.50 | sales - costs |
Interest | 70 | 76.36 | (70/1100)*1200 |
PBT | 740 | 855.14 | Op. profit - interest |
Taxes | 140 | 161.78 | (140/740)*855.1 |
Net income | 600 | 693.35 | PBT - taxes |
Retaiend earnings = ( 1 - Dividend payout ratio) * net income = (1-70%) * 693.35 = 208.01
external funds required = 480-208.01 = 271.99
b &c. Debt must be the balancing item, and will increase by $271.99, to a total value of $1471.99.
d&e. With a restriction on increase in debt, the company will have to reduce dividend payments. Since debt can only be increased by $100, dividend payment will decease by the remaining $171.99
Dividend = (693.35 * 70%) - 171.99 = 313.36
