a. Suppose 2017 sales are projected to increase by 15% over 2016 sales. Use the
forecasted financial statement method to forecast a balance sheet and income
statement for December 31, 2017. The interest rate on all debt is 10%, and cash
earns no interest income. Assume that all additional debt in the form of a 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 2016, that it cannot sell
off any of its fixed assets, and that any required financing will be borrowed as
notes payable. Also, assume that assets, spontaneous liabilities, and operating costs
are expected to increase by the same percentage as sales. Determine the additional
funds needed.
b. What is the resulting total forecasted amount of the line of credit?
