On December 31, 2017, Mercantile Corp. had a $10,000,000, 8% fixed-rate note outstanding, payable in 2 years. It decides to enter into a 2-year swap with Chicago First Bank to convert the fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt. The terms of the swap indicate that Mercantile will receive interest at a fixed rate of 8% and will pay a variable rate equal to the 6-month LIBOR rate, based on the $10,000,000 amount. The LIBOR rate on December 31, 2017, is 7%. The LIBOR rate will be reset every 6 months and will be used to determine the variable rate to be paid for the following 6-month period.

Mercantile Corp. designates the swap as a fair value hedge. Assume that the hedging relationship meets all the conditions necessary for hedge accounting. The 6-month LIBOR rate and the swap and debt fair values are as follows:

Date 6-month LIBOR Swap Fair Value Debt Fair Value
December 31, 2017 7% --- $10,000,000
June 30, 2018 7.5% (200,000) $9,800,000

At year-end 2018, total assets for Arrington Inc. were $1.5 million and accounts payable were $430,000. Sales, which in 2018 were $2.50 million, are expected to increase by 25% in 2019. 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 $400,000 in 2018, and retained earnings were $415,000. Arrington plans to sell new common stock in the amount of $60,000. The firm's profit margin on sales is 5%; 40% of earnings will be retained.

  1. What were Arrington's total liabilities in 2018? Write out your answer completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

  2. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2019? (Hint: AFN - New stock = New long-term debt.) Write out your answer completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
