Paul Sabin organized Sabin Electronics 10 years ago to produce and sell several electronic devices on which he had secured patents. Although the company has been fairly profitable, it is now experiencing a severe cash shortage. For this reason, it is requesting a $500,000 long-term loan from Gulfport State Bank, $100,000 of which will be used to bolster the Cash account and $400,000 of which will be used to modernize equipment. The company's financial statements for the two most recent years follow: Sabin Electronics Comparative Balance Sheet This Year Last Year $ 70,000 0 480,000 950,000 20,000 1,520,000 1,480,000 $ 3,000,000 $ 150,000 18,000 300,000 600,000 22,000 1,090,000 1,370,000 $ 2,460,000 Assets Current assets: Cash Marketable securities Accounts receivable, net Inventory Prepaid expenses Total current assets Plant and equipment, net Total assets Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Liabilities: Current liabilities Bonds payable, 12% Total liabilities Stockholders' equity: Common stock, $15 par Retained earnings Total stockholders' equity Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 800,000 600,000 1,400,000 $ 430,000 600,000 1,030,000 750,000 850,000 1,600,000 $ 3,000,000 750,000 680,000 1,430,000 $ 2,460,000 Sabin Electronics Comparative Income Statement and Reconciliation This Year Last Year Sales $ 5,000,000 $ 4,350,000 Cost of goods sold 3,875,000 3,450,000 Gross margin 1,125,000 900,000 Selling and administrative expenses 653,000 548,000 Net operating income 472,000 352,000 Interest expense 72,000 72,000 Net income before taxes 400,000 280,000 Income taxes (30%) 120,000 84,000 Net income 280,000 196,000 Common dividends 110,000 95,000 Net income retained 170,000 101,000 Beginning retained earnings 680,000 579,000 Ending retained earnings $ 850,000 $ 680,000 During the past year, the company introduced several new product lines and raised the selling prices on a number of old product lines in order to improve its profit margin.
