Quantitative Problem 1: Beasley Industries'
sales are expected to increase from $4 million in 2013 to $5
million in 2014, or by 25%. Its assets totaled $3 million at the
end of 2013. Beasley is at full capacity, so its assets must grow
in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2013, current
liabilities are $800,000, consisting of $120,000 of accounts
payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $180,000 of accrued
liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and its
dividend payout ratio is 50%. Using the AFN equation, forecast the
additional funds Beasley will need for the coming year. Round your
answer to the nearest dollar. Do not round intermediate
calculations.

The AFN equation assumes that ratios remain constant. However, firms are not always operating at full capacity so adjustments need to be made to the existing asset forecast. Excess capacity adjustments are changes made to the existing asset forecast because the firm is not operating at full capacity. For example, a firm may not be at full capacity with respect to its fixed assets. First, the firm's management must find out the firm's full capacity sales as follows:
Next, management would calculate the firm's target fixed assets ratio as follows:
Finally, management would use the target fixed assets ratio with the projected sales to calculate the firm's required level of fixed assets as follows:
Required level of fixed assets = (Target fixed assets/Sales) × Projected sales
Quantitative Problem 2: Mitchell Manufacturing Company has $1,500,000,000 in sales and $220,000,000 in fixed assets. Currently, the company's fixed assets are operating at 80% of capacity.

Managers use projected financial statements in four principal ways. (1) They use the projected statements to assess whether the firm's anticipated performance is in line with its own internal targets and with investors' expectations. (2) They use them to estimate the impact of proposed operating changes. (3) They use them to anticipate the firm's future financing needs and to arrange necessary financing. (4) Finally, they use them to estimate free cash flows, which determine the firm's overall value. Managers forecast...
