In developing its forecast for the upcoming year, the company has assembled the following information:

  • Sales are expected to increase by 8 % this upcoming year.
  • Operating costs are expected to remain at 90% of sales.
  • Cash and marketable securities are expected to remain at 1% of sales
  • Accounts receivable are expected to remain at 8% of sales
  • Due to excess capacity, the company expects that its year-end inventories will remain at current levels.
  • Fixed assets are expected to remain at 61% of sales
  • Spontaneous liabilities (accounts payable and accruals) are expected to increase at the same rate as sales.
  • The company will continue to pay a zero dividend, and its tax rate will remain at 40%.
  • The company anticipates that any additional funds needed will be raised in the following manner: 25% notes payable, 25% long-term debt, and 50% common stock.

Task:

  1. Based on the assumptions listed above, construct a Pro forma income statement and balance sheet. Assume that there are no financial feedback effects. (That is assume interest will remain unchanged even though the company may increase its debt). 

Based upon this forecast, describe changes from the prior year that should expect in its return on equity, inventory turnover ratio, and profit margin
