1. Upton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers, stocks them in conveniently located warehouses, ships them to its chain of retail stores, and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Upton's balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, is shown here (millions of dollars): Cash Receivables Inventories Total current assets Net fixed assets Total assets $ 3.5 26.0 58.0 $ 87.5 35.0 $122.5 Accounts payable Notes payable Line of credit Accruals Total current liabilities Mortgage loan Common stock Retained earnings Total liabilities and equity $ 9.0 18.0 0 8.5 $ 35.5 6.0 15.0 66.0 $122.5 Sales for 2013 were $475 million and net income for the year was $14.25 million, so the firm's profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of $5.7 million to common stockholders, so its payout ratio was 40%. Its tax rate is 40%, and it operated at full capacity. Assume that all assets/sales ratios, spontaneous liabilities/sales ratios, the profit margin, and the payout ratio remain constant in 2014. Do not round intermediate calculations. a. If sales are projected to increase by $80 million, or 16.84%, during 2014, use the AFN equation to determine Upton's projected external capital requirements. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. Round your answer to two decimal places. $ million b. Using the AFN equation, determine Upton's self-supporting growth rate. That is, what is the maximum growth rate the firm can achieve without having to employ nonspontaneous external funds? Round your answer to two decimal places. % c. Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast Upton's balance sheet for December 31, 2014. Assume that all additional external capital is raised as a line of credit at the end of the year and is reflected (because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt). Assume Upton's profit margin and dividend payout ratio will be the same in 2014 as they were in 2013. What is the amount of the line of credit reported on the 2014 forecasted balance sheets? (Hint: You don't need to forecast the income statements because you are given the projected sales, profit margin, and dividend payout ratio; these figures allow you to calculate the 2014 addition to retained earnings for the balance sheet.) Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Suppose 2014 sales are projected to increase by 25% over 2013 sales. Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast a balance sheet and income statement for December 31, 2014. The interest rate on all debt is 6%, and cash earns no interest income. Assume that all additional debt in the form of a line of credit is added at the end of the year, which means that you should base the forecasted interest expense on the balance of debt at the beginning of the year. Use the forecasted income statement to determine the addition to retained earnings. Assume that the company was operating at full capacity in 2013, that it cannot sell off any of its fixed assets, and that any required financing will be borrowed as notes payable. Also, assume that assets, spontaneous liabilities, and operating costs are expected to increase by the same percentage as sales. Determine the additional funds needed. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Do not round intermediate calculations. Total assets AFN b. $ $ What is the resulting total forecasted amount of the line of credit?
