To After Chris completed the ratio analysis for S&S Air (see Chapter 3), Mark and Todd approached him about planning this end, they would like Chris to prepare a financial plan for for next year's sales. The company had historically used little planning for investment needs. As a result, the company ex- perienced some challenging times because of cash flow prob- lems. The lack of planning resulted in missed sales, as well as the next year so the company can begin to address any outside investment requirements. The income statement and balance sheet are shown here: SAS AIR, INC. 2014 Income Statement Sales $40,259,230 Cost of goods sold 29,336,446 Other expenses 5,105,100 1,804,220 $ 4,013,464 Depreciation EBIT 630,520 $ 3,382,944 1,353,178 $ 2,029,766 Interest Taxable income Taxes (40%) Net income Dividends $ 610,000 Add to retained earnings 1,419,766 S&S AIR, INC. 2014 Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities and Equity Current assets Current liabilities Accounts payable Notes payable Cash 456,435 24 929,005 733,125 2,121,350 $ 3,050,355 $ 5,500,000 Accounts receivable Inventory Total current assets 1,073,180 $ 2,262,740 Total current liabilities Long-term debt Fixed assets $17,723,430 Shareholder equity Common stock Retained earnings Total equity Total liabilities and equity Net plant and equipment $ 400,000 11,035,815 $11,435,815 $19,986,170 Total assets $19,986,170 fixed assets must be increased in specific amounts because it is impossible, as a practical matter, to buy part of a new plant or machine. In this case, a company has a "staircase" or "lumpy" fixed cost structure. Assume S&S Air is currently producing at 100 percent capacity. As a result, to increase production, the company must set up an entirely new line at a cost of $5000,000. Calculate the new EFN with this assumption. What does this imply about capacity utilization for the company next year? QUESTIONS 1. Calculate the internal growth rate and sustainable growth rate for S&S Air. What do these numbers mean? 2. S&S Air is planning for a growth rate of 12 percent next year. Calculate the EFN for the company assuming the company is operating at full capacity.
