Sales are expected to increase by 20 percent in Year 1. Operating costs are expected to increase to 72.0 percent of sales Fixed assets are being used at 80 percent of capacity. - Fixed assets are lumpy. If the firm must add fixed assets, it must add a lump sum of $2.000.000, Fixed assets are currently being depreciated on a straight line basis over a 10-year period. New fixed assets will also be depreciated on a straight line basis over 10 years All current assets and spontaneous liabilities can be expressed as a percent of sales and will grow proportionately with sales. . At the start of the coming year notes payable are expected to decrease to $1.000.000. Long-term debt will increase to $3,000,000. The before-tax interest rate on notes payable and long-term debt is currently 8 percent. Over the coming year it will remain at 8% for the long-term debt, but will increase to 129 for the notes payable. The tax rate will remain at 40 percent. The firm will increase its dividend payout rate from 40 percent to 50 percent of net income in Year 1. regardless of whether any new equity is issued. The firm has decided that any additional funds needed (AFN) will be raised by issuing new common stock. . . . Using the spreadsheet method, and given the information above, do a first pass and calculate the additional funds needed, then do a second pass, assuming that all funds are raised by the issuance of new common stock. Now assume that after stock is issued (by the end of the coming year, there will be 650,000 shares of stock outstanding. Given this information, determine what the return on equity (NI/Equity) is expected to be.
