1] | Ending assets [given] | $ 5,06,900 |
Ending equity = Beginning equity+(NI-Dividends paid) = 299600+49400*(1-10.6%) = | $ 3,43,764 | |
Ending total debt [before financing] = 128200+10500 = | $ 1,38,700 | |
Ending total liabilities & equity [before financing] | $ 4,82,464 | |
New financing required = 506900-482464 = | $ 24,436 | |
2] | Beginning equity [given] | $ 2,99,600 |
Beginning total debt [given] | $ 1,28,200 | |
D/E = 128200/299600 = | 42.79% | |
3] | Ending equity required to maintain D/E = 506900*(100%/142.79%) = | $ 3,54,997 |
Ending debt = 506900*42.79%/142.79% = | $ 1,51,903 | |
Total | $ 5,06,900 | |
4] | New equity to be issued = 354997-343764 = | $ 11,233 |
New debt to be issued = 151903-138700 = | $ 13,203 | |
Net long term financing | $ 24,436 |
