In a daring act of industrial espionage, Road Runner has managed to purloin the financial statements for Year 1 for Acme Corp and pass it

In a daring act of industrial espionage, Road Runner has managed to purloin the financial statements for Year 1 for Acme Corp and pass it to her friend Bugs Bunny. Bugs plans to profit from it by selling it on the DarkNet. However, he soon realises that there is not much of a market for historical information and only information about future performance is valued. Bugs reckons that if he could put together a pro-forma financial statement for the following year (Year 2), there might be more takers for his information. Unfortunately, plot constraints prevent him from getting this information directly from Road Runner and require him to decipher the messages she passes along in Morse coded Beeps. Hours of ardous decoding have left him with the following pieces of information (listed below) regarding for Year 2 performance of Acme. Use this information to help Bugs Bunny put together a pro-forma income statement and balance sheet for Acme Corp. for Year 2. Next prepare a sources and uses of funds table to show how funds are expected to be utilized.

(Hint 1: Start from the income statement, then move to the liabilities and equity section of the balance sheet before finally moving to the asset section.

Hint 2: If your calculations are correct, total uses of funds should equal total sources of funds.)

  1. Asset turnover (based on starting total assets for Year 2) is expected to be 0.65.
  2. Gross profit percentage would continue to be 50%.
  3. Accounts Receivable days (based on sales for Year 2) is expected to be 45 (360 day-count convention).
  4. Inventory days (based on COGS for Year 2) is expected to be 50 (360 day-count convention).
  5. Accounts Payable days (based on COGS for Year 2) is expected to be 60 (360 day-count convention).
  6. Unearned Revenue is expected to be at 5.0% of sales.
  7. 25% of Employee Expenses and Other Expenses would be incurred in advance.
  8. $200 million would be invested in PP&E.
  9. Depreciation is expected to be 15% of the ending net PP&E for Year 1.
  10. No amortization of Goodwill is expected in Year 2.
  11. Employee Expenses and Other Expenses would grow 20% y-o-y in Year 2 (compared to Year 1).
  12. Interest Expense of 10% on the opening Total Debt balance for Year 2 is expected.
  13. Taxes are estimated to be 40% of the profit before tax. However, Amortization of Goodwill is not tax deductible. Assume Taxes are paid out in Year 2 itself.
  14. Acme is expected to continue its 50% Dividend policy. Assume Dividends are paid out in Year 2 itself.
  15. No Equity issuance is expected in Year 2.
  16. Acme Corp. is expected to repay $50 million of its Term Loans and issue $100 million of new Bonds.

Note that in the balance sheet and the income statement all items are entered as positive numbers (e.g. accumulated depreciation, cost of goods sold, various expense items, taxes etc.). Please make sure you follow this convention while filling in your answers. The units for all the answers are $ millions, so enter your answer accordingly - i.e., if your cash balance is $100.5 million, then enter 100.5 in the cell. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
