Gonzales Food Stores, a family-owned grocery store chain headquartered in El Paso, has hired you to make recommendations concerning financing needs for the following two situations. Part I: Initial Expansion Gonzales is a closely held corporation considering a major expansion. The proposed expansion would require the firm to raise $10 million in additional capital. Because Gonzales currently has 50 percent debt and because the family members already have all their funds tied up in the business, the owners cannot supply any additional equity, so the company will have to sell stock to the public. The family wants to ensure that it will retain control of the company. This offering would be Gonzales’s first stock sale, and the owners are not sure exactly what would be involved. For this reason, they have asked you to research the process and to help them decide how to raise the needed capital. In doing so, you should answer the following questions:

a. What are the advantages to Gonzales of financing with stock rather than with bonds? What are the disadvantages of using stock?

b. Is the stock of Gonzales Food Stores currently publicly held or privately owned? Would this situation change if the company undertook a stock sale?

c. What is classified stock? Would Gonzales find any advantage in designating the stock currently outstanding as founders’ shares? What type of common stock should Gonzales sell to the public to allow the family members to retain control of the business?

d. If some members of the Gonzales family wanted to sell some of their own shares to diversify at the same time that the company was selling new shares to raise expansion capital, would this choice be feasible?

Activity-Based Costing and Customer Profitability

Schneider Electric manufactures power distribution equipment for commercial customers, such as hospitals and manufacturers. Activity-based costing was used to determine customer profitability. Customer service activities were assigned to individual customers, using the following assumed customer service activities, activity base, and activity rate:

Assume that the company had the following gross profit information for three representative customers:

The administrative records indicated that the activity-base usage quantities for each customer were as follows:

a. Prepare a customer profitability report dated for the year ended December 31, 20Y8, showing (1) the income from operations after customer service activities, (2) the gross profit as a percent of sales, and (3) the income from operations after customer service activities as a percent of sales. Prepare the report with a column for each customer. Round percentages to the nearest whole percent. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

b. Interpret the report in part (a).

The gross profit as a percent of sales indicated that was the least profitable, while was the most profitable. After deducting the activity costs associated with customer service activities, became the least profitable, while became nearly as profitable as Customer 2. The reason is because consumed much more customer service activities than did the other customers. Apparently, ordered nonstandard products that required specialized bid requests. In addition, required more shipments, indicating smaller shipments to a customer’s location, rather than a few large shipments.

Assignment 4: Financing an Expansion

After twelve (12) years, your business is wildly successful with multiple locations throughout the region. You are now ready to think really big. You want to purchase a huge competitor. (Note: You determine whether the competitor is a privately or publicly held company.) To expand, you will need additional capital from the debt or equity market, or both.

Use one (1) of the valuation techniques identified in Chapters 10 and 11 to calculate the value of the credit repair competitor you wish to purchase. Note: You will have to make assumptions; however, your assumptions need to be rationally supported.

2. Analyze the various financial tools available to you to determine the tools that will be most helpful in assessing whether your credit repair business can afford to purchase the competitor. Support your response.

Imagine you can indeed afford to purchase the competitor; however, you will need an additional $100 million.

3. Examine the options available to you to finance the competitor through the debt market, recommending the best alternative as a result of your analysis. Provide support for your recommendation.

4. Examine the options available to you to finance the competitor through the equity market, recommending the best alternative as a result of your analysis. Provide support for your recommendation.

5. Conduct a cross comparison of your debt and equity examinations to determine where to ideally obtain the additional $100 million funding needed to make the purchase and the approach that you would take to securing the funds. Provide support for your recommendation.
