12 Irwin/McGraw-Hill © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. 2000 T4.5 Pro Forma Statements (concluded) One possible financing strategy:  1.Borrow short-term first  2.If needed, borrow long-term next  3.Sell equity as a last resort Constraints:  1.Current ratio must not fall below 2.0.  2.Total debt ratio must not rise above 0.40.

13 Irwin/McGraw-Hill © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. 2000 T4.6 The Percentage of Sales Approach: General Formulas Given a sales forecast and an estimated profit margin, what addition to retained earnings can be expected? Let: S = previous period’s sales g = projected increase in sales PM = profit margin b = earnings retention (“plowback”) ratio The expected addition to retained earnings is: S(1 + g) PM b This represents the level of internal financing the firm is expected to generate over the coming period.

14 Irwin/McGraw-Hill © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. 2000 T4.6 The Percentage of Sales Approach: General Formulas (concluded) What level of asset investment is needed to support a given level of sales growth? For simplicity, assume we are at full capacity. Then the indicated increase in assets required equals A g where A = ending total assets from the previous period. If the required increase in assets exceeds the internal funding available (i.e., the increase in retained earnings), then the difference is the External Financing Needed (EFN).

15 Irwin/McGraw-Hill © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. 2000 T4.7 The Percentage of Sales Approach: A Financing Plan Given the following information, determine maximum allowable borrowing for the firm:  1. $468/CL = 2.0 implies maximum CL = $____ Maximum short-term borrowing = $234 - $____ = $____  2..40 $1300 = $____ = maximum debt $520 - ____ = $____ = maximum long-term debt Maximum long-term borrowing = $286 - ____ = $____  3.

So, the impact of different capacity assumptions is ?

32 Irwin/McGraw-Hill © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. 2000 T4.13 Summary of Internal and Sustainable Growth Rates I. Internal Growth Rate IGR = (ROA  b)/[1 - (ROA  b)] where:ROA = return on assets = Net income/assets b = earnings retention or “plowback” ratio The IGR is the maximum growth rate that can be achieved with no external financing of any kind. II. Sustainable Growth Rate SGR = (ROE  b)/[1 - (ROE  b)] where: ROE = return on equity = Net income/equity b = earnings retention or “plowback” ratio The SGR is the maximum growth rate that can be achieved with no external equity financing while maintaining a constant debt/equity ratio.

33 Irwin/McGraw-Hill © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. 2000 T4.14 Questions the Financial Planner Should Consider Mark Twain once said “forecasting is very difficult, particularly if it concerns the future”. The process of financial planning involves the use of mathematical models which provide the illusion of great accuracy. In assessing a financial forecast, the planner should ask the following questions:  Are the results generated by the model reasonable?  Have I considered all possible outcomes?  How reasonable were the economic assumptions which were used to generate the forecast?  Which assumptions have the greatest impact on the outcome?  Which variables are of the greatest importance in determining the outcome?  Have I forgotten anything important? The final question may be the most crucial. It is worthwhile to remember that, if you think your forecasting model is too good to be true, you’re undoubtedly right.
