23.                You are preparing pro forma financial statements for 2017 using the percent-of-sales method. Sales were $100,000 in 2016 and are projected to be $120,000 in 2017. Net income was $5,000 in 2016 and is projected to be $6,000 in 2017. Equity was $45,000 at year-end 2015 and $50,000 at year-end 2016. Assuming that this company never issues new equity, never repurchases equity, and never changes its dividend payout ratio, what would be projected for equity at year-end 2017?

 

1.   $55,000

2.   $56,000

3.   $60,000

4.   Insufficient information is provided to project equity in 2017.

 

All of net income was added to equity in 2016, so all of net income will be added to equity in 2017. $50,000 + $6,000 = $56,000.

36.                Pro forma financial statements, by definition, are predictions of a company’s financial statements at a future point in time. So, why is it important to analyze the historical performance of the company before constructing pro forma financial statements?

 

Historical analysis helps decide for which financial statement items a percent-of-sales forecast might be appropriate. For example, a stable trend in the collection period would tell you that, unless you expect changes in the management of the accounts receivable, future collection periods should continue along this trend.

37.                Edna’s Laundry Services just completed pro forma statements using the percentage-of-sales approach. The pro forma shows a projected external financing need of -$5,500. Interpret this figure. What are the firm’s options in this case?

 

A negative value implies that the company has excess cash above its desired minimum. With a negative external financing need, the firm has a surplus of funds that it can use to reduce current liabilities, reduce long-term debt, buy back common stock, or increase dividends. If acceptable opportunities exist, the firm might also use the extra funds to purchase fixed assets, thereby increasing its potential growth, should that action be warranted.

39.                Estimate Preston’s cash receipts in October if the company’s collection period is 30 days.

40.                Estimate Preston’s cash receipts in October if the company’s collection period is 45 days.

41.                What would be Preston’s accounts receivable balance at the end of October if the company’s collection period is 30 days? 45 days?

 

1.   If the collection period is 30 days, October cash receipts from September sales will equal half of September sales or $60,000. In addition, the company will receive cash from half of October sales, which were for cash of $40,000. The total is $100,000.

2.   With a 45–day collection period, cash collected during the first half of October is from credit sales made from the middle until the end of August; and collections during the second half of October are from credit sales made from the beginning until the middle of September. Therefore, cash receipts from credit sales (which are half of total sales) are from the period mid-August through mid–September, or (70,000/2 + 120,000/2)/2 = $47,500. Adding sales for cash of $40,000 in October, the total is $87,500.

3.   If the collection period is 30 days, then the October accounts receivable balance should be the last 30 days” worth of credit sales. October credit sales were

$40,000, thus the accounts receivable balance would be $40,000. If the collection period is 45 days, then the balance would be October”s credit sales and half of September”s credit sales, or 40,000 + 60,000/2 = $70,000.
