Projecting the amount of cash must await projections of all thfer balance sheet amounts. Accounts Receivable As a retailer, a large portion of Walmart's sales are in cash or for thir party credit card charges, which Walmart can convert into cash within a day or two. Walmart has its own credit card that customers can use for purchases at its Sam's Club warehouse stores but the total amount of receivables outstanding on these credit cards is relatively minor com pared to Walmart's total sales. As a consequence, Walmart's receivables turnover is very steacy raging roughly five days during each of the past two years. Assume that accounits receivable will continue to turnover at the same rate and increase at the growth rate in sal les Inventories Walmart's overall inventory effciency has declined slightly in the past two ye in part because of the distribution of merchandise to stores worldwide. Inventory have decreased from an average of 42 days in 2011 to 44 days in 2012. Assume that endi turnovers in- ventory will continue to be equal to 44 days of cost of goods sold, in YeartoYar Prepaid Expenses Current assets include prepayments for ongoing operating costs such as rent and insurance. Assume that prepayments will grow at the growth rate in sales. Current Assets and Liabilities of Discontinued Segments Walmart's balance sheets in 2010 and prior recognize amounts as current assets and current liabilities that are associated with discontinued segments (subsidiaries that Walmart is divesting). These operations were divested in 2011, so assume that these amounts will be zero in Year +1 through Year +5. Property, Plant, and Equipment-At Cost Property, plant, and equipment (including assets held under capital leases) grew by roughly $12.5 billion per year in 2010 through 2012 (capital expenditures net of proceeds from selling property, plant, and equipment). The construction of new Supercenters and the acquisition of established retail chains abroad will require additional investments in property, plant, and equipment. Assume that property, plant, and equipment will continue to grow by $12.5 billion each year from Year +1 through Year +5 Accumulated Depreciation In 2011 and 2012, Walmart depreciated property, plant, and equipment using an average useful life of approximately 19.8 years. For Year +1 through Year +5, assume that accumulated depreciation will increase each year by depreciation expense. For simplicity, compute straight-line depreciation expense based on an average 20-year useful life and zero salvage value. In computing depreciation expense each year, make sure you depreci- ate the beginning balance in the existing property, plant, and equipment- at cost. Also add a w Iayer of depreciation expense for the new property, plant, and equipment acquir ugh capital expenditures. Assume that Walmart recognizes a full year of depreciation on property, plant, and equipment in the first year of service new new Goodwill and Other Assets Goodwill and other assets include primarily goodwill arising from corporate acquisitions outside the United States. Such acquisitions increase Walmart sales. Assume that goodwill and other assets will grow at the same rate as revenues. Also assume that goodwill and other assets are not amortizable. Accounts Payable Walmart has maintained a steady accounts payable turnover, with payment periods averaging 9.5 times per year (an average turnover of roughly 38 days) during the last three years. Assume that ending accounts payable will continue to approximate 38 days of in ventory purchases in Years +1 to +5. To compute the ending accounts payable balance using a 38-day turnover period, remember to add the change in inventory to the cost of goods sold to obtain the total amount of credit purchases of inventory during the year. Accrued Liabilities Accrued liabilities relate to accrued expenses for ongoing operating activ- ties and are expected to grow at the growth rate in selling and administrative expenses, which are expected to grow with sales. Income Taxes Payable and Deferred Tax Liabilities-Noncurrent For simplicity, assume hat income taxes payable and deferred tax liabilities-noncurrent grow at 30% per year in Year +1 through Year +5 indemable Noncontrolling Interests Redeemable noncontrolling interests amount to data ents made by third-party investors in subsidiaries that Walmart controls and consoli- dates hese noncontrolling interests are redeemable, Walmart can redeem (pay off and terests. For simplicity, assume Walmart redeems and retires these redeemable S, B noncontrolling interests in Year +1. Short-Term Debt, Current Maturities of Long-Term Debt, Capital Leases, and Long Term Debt Walmart uses short-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt, capital leases 9- and long-term debt to augment cash from operations to finance capital expenditures on prop- erty, plant, and equipment and acquisitions of existing retail chains outside the United States. Over the past three years, each individual amount of debt financing (short-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt, and long-term debt) have fluctuated considerably from year to year, whereas the aggregate amount of debt financing has remained fairly steady, averaging roughly 27.0% of total assets. For simplicity, assume that the total amount of short-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt, and long-term debt will continue to remain a fairly steady percentage of total assets for Year +1 through Year +5. Assume that Walmart's short-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt, and long-term debt will grow at 3.0% per year in Year +1 through Year +5, roughly consistent with the projected growth in total assets. Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital Over the past three years, Walmart's com- mon stock and additional paid-in capital have remained a fairly steady 2.0% of total assets (Walmart repurchases company shares on the open market and then reissues these shares to employees and executives to satisfy stock option exercises). Assume that common stock and additional paid-in capital will continue to be 2.0% of total assets for Year +1 through Y Retained Earnings The increase in retained earnings equals net income minus dividends. In 2012, Walmart paid total dividends of $5,361 million to common shareholders, which amounted to roughly 30% of net income attributable to Walmart shareholders. Assume that Walmart will maintain a policy to pay dividends equivalent to 30% of net income attributable to Walmart shareholders in Year +1 through Year +5 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Assume that accumulated other comprehensive income will not change. Equivalently, assume that future other comprehensive income items will be zero, on average, in Year +1 through Year +5 Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests amount to equity investments madeby third-party investors in subsidiaries that Walmart controls and consolidates. Noncontrolling inter ests grow each year by their proportionate share of the subsidiary's income, and these interests decrease by any dividends paid to them. We assumed for purposes of the income statement, that net income attributable to noncontrolling interests would generate a 15% rate of return for those investors. For simplicity, assume Walmart's noncontrolling interests will grow by the amount of income attributable to these noncontrolling interests each year, and dividends paid to them wll be the same amount in Year +1 to Year +5. Theref equity will remain constant. ore, the amount of noncontrolling interests in Cash At this point, you can project the amount of cash on Walmart's balance sheet at each year- end from Year +1 to Year +5. Assume that Walmart uses cash as the flexible financial account to balance the balance sheet. The resulting cash balance each year should be the total amount of liabi ities and shareholders' equity minus the projected ending balances in all non-cash asset accounts. 2012 7,781 6,768 43,803 1,588 59,940 171,724 (55,043) 20,497 5,987 203,105 Year +1 Year +2 Year +3 Year +4 Year +5 17,830 29,834 43,05857,689 73,769 Cash & CE Accounts Receivables (net) Inventory Prepaid Expenses Current Assets PPE (cost) Acc.
