Additional Funds Needed

The Booth Company's sales are forecasted to double from $1,000 in 2016 to $2,000 in 2017. Here is the December 31, 2016, balance sheet:

Cash $  100 Accounts payable $   50
Accounts receivable 200 Notes payable 150
Inventories 200 Accruals 50
Net fixed assets 500 Long-term debt 400
Common stock 100
Retained earnings 250
Total assets $1000 Total liabilities and equity $1000

Booth's fixed assets were used to only 50% of capacity during 2016, but its current assets were at their proper levels in relation to sales. All assets except fixed assets must increase at the same rate as sales, and fixed assets would also have to increase at the same rate if the current excess capacity did not exist. Booth's after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 6% and its payout ratio to be 45%. What is Booth's additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Why is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP?

Real GDP measures the value of the goods and services an economy produces, but nominal GDP measures the value of the goods and services an economy consumes.

It’s September 2015 and United Grain Growers (UGG) wants to hedge the planned sale of 80,000 metric tons of corn in March 2016. Corn is a non-Board grain, and UGG recently acquired this inventory and is storing it in two new concrete high throughput elevators.

Corn futures contracts are available, and to avoid the contracts’ delivery requirements, UGG will hedge using April 2016 corn futures, where one contract is for 5000 bushels. The initial margin requirements are 1650 per contract, spot price for corn today is 3.70 per bushel, while the futures prices for the April contract is 4.25 per bushel. Note: 5000 bushels ≈ 127 metric tons.

  1. How many contracts are needed for this hedge? Long or short?
  2. What is the total margin requirement?
  3. In March 2016, UGG sold corn to the market at the then spot price of 4.00 per bushel. On the sale date they closed the futures contracts (“offset” them), and the futures price was 4.15/bushel at that time. What is the net per bushel price obtained for corn, reflecting the hedge g/l?
