A markup is added on goods the company purchases from manufacturers for resale. Swen Artero, the company president, is preparing for a meeting with Jennifer Brown, a loan officer with First Banco Corporation, to review year end financing requirements. After discussions with the company's marketing manager Rolf Eriksson and finance manager Lisa Erdinger, sales over the next three months were forecasted as follows. Month October 2014 November December Cash Accounts receivable Inventories Net fixed assets Total assets Artero's balance sheet as of the end of September, 2014 was as follows. Artero Corporation Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014 (in S Thousands) $ 50 700 500 750 Sales Forecast ($000) $2,000 $1,000 1,500 3,000 Accounts payable Notes payable Long-term debt Total liabilities Equity Total $0 800 400 1,200 800 $2,000 All sales are made on credit terms of net 30 days and are collected the following month and no bad debts are anticipated. The accounts receivable on the balance sheet at the end of September thus will be collected in October. The October sales will be collected in November, and so on. Inventory on hand represents a minimum operating level (or "safety" stock), which the company intends to maintain. Cost of goods sold average 80 percent of sales. Inventory is purchased in the month of sale and paid for in cash. Other cash expenses average 7 percent of sales. Depreciation is $10,000 per month. Assume taxes are paid monthly and the effective income tax rate is 40 percent for planning purposes. The annual interest rate on outstanding long-term debt and bank loans (notes payable) is 12%. There are no capital expenditures planned during the period, and no dividends will be paid. The company's desired end-of-month cash balance is $80,000. The president hopes to meet any cash shortages during the period by increasing the firm's notes payable to the bank. The interest rate on new loans will be 12%. A. Prepare monthly pro forma income statements for October, November, and December, and for the quarter ending December 31, 2014. B. Prepare both a monthly cash budget and pro forma statements of cash flows for the October, November, and December 2014. C. Describe your findings and indicate the maximum amount of bank borrowing that is needed. Question 2.

Capstan's owner, Sidney Capstan, attributed much of the business's success to its no-frills policy of competitive pricing and immediate cash payment. The business was basically a simple one the firm imported cars at the beginning of each quarter and paid the manufacturer at the end of the quarter. The revenues from the sale of these cars covered the payment to the manufacturer and the expenses of running the business, as well as providing Sidney Capstan with a good return on his equity investment. By the fourth quarter of 2018 sales were running at 250 cars a quarter. Since the average sale price of each car was about $20,000, this translated into quarterly revenues of 250 × $20,000-$5 mil- lion. The average cost to Capstan of each imported car was $18,000. After paying wages, rent, and other recurring costs of $200,000 per quarter and deducting depreciation of $80,000, the company was left with earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $220,000 a quarter and net profits of $140,000. The year 2019 was not a happy year for car importers in the United States. Recession led to a general decline in auto sales, while the fall in the value of the dollar shaved profit margins for many dealers in imported cars. Capstan more than most firms foresaw the difficulties ahead and reacted at once by offering 6 months' free credit while holding the sale price of its cars constant. Wages and other costs were pared by 25% to $150,000 a quarter, and the company effectively eliminated all capital expenditures. The The year 2019 was not a happy year for car importers in the United States. Recession led to a general decline in auto sales, while the fall in the value of the dollar shaved profit margins for many dealers in imported cars. Capstan more than most firms foresaw the difficulties ahead and reacted at once by offering 6 months' free credit while holding the sale price of its cars constant. Wages and other costs were pared by 25% to $150,000 a quarter, and the company effectively eliminated all capital expenditures. The policy appeared successful. Unit sales fell by 20% to 200 units a quarter, but the company continued to operate at a satisfactory profit (see table). The slump in sales lasted for 6 months, but as consumer confidence began to return, auto sales began to recover. The company's new policy of 6 months' free credit was proving sufficiently popular that Sidney Capstan decided to maintain the policy. In the third quarter of 2019 sales had recovered to 225 units; by the fourth quarter they were 250 units; and by the first quarter of the next year they had reached 275 units. It looked as if by the second quarter of 2020 the company could expect to sell 300 cars. Earnings before interest and tax were already in excess of their previous high, and Sidney Capstan was able to congratulate himself on weathering what looked to be a tricky period. Over the 18- month period the firm had earned net profits of over half a million dollars, and the equity had grown from just over $1.5 million to about $2 million. Sidney Capstan was first and foremost a superb salesman and always left the financial aspects of the business to his financial manager. However, there was one feature of the financial statements that disturbed Sidney Capstan-the mounting level of debt, which by the end of the first quarter of 2020 had reached $9.7 million. This unease turned to alarm when the financial manager phoned to say that the bank was reluctant to extend further credit and was even questioning its current level of exposure to the company. Mr. Capstan found it impossible to understand how such a successful year could have landed the company in financial difficulties. The company had always had good relationships with its bank, and the interest rate on its bank loans was a reasonable 8% a year (or about 2% a quarter). Surely, Mr. Capstan reasoned, when the bank saw the projected sales growth for the rest of 2020, it would realize that there were plenty of profits to enable the company to start repaying its loans. Mr. Capstan kept coming back to three questions: 1) Was his company really in trouble? 2) Could the bank be right in its decision to withhold further credit? 3) And why was the company's indebtedness increasing when its profits were higher than ever?

By the fourth quarter of 2018 sales were running at 250 cars a quarter. Since the average sale price of each car was about $20,000, this translated into quarterly revenues of 250 × $20,000-$5 mil- lion. The average cost to Capstan of each imported car was $18,000. After paying wages, rent, and other recurring costs of $200,000 per quarter and deducting depreciation of $80,000, the company was left with earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $220,000 a quarter and net profits of $140,000. The year 2019 was not a happy year for car importers in the United States. Recession led to a general decline in auto sales, while the fall in the value of the dollar shaved profit margins for many dealers in imported cars. Capstan more than most firms foresaw the difficulties ahead and reacted at once by offering 6 months' free credit while holding the sale price of its cars constant. Wages and other costs were pared by 25% to $150,000 a quarter, and the company effectively eliminated all capital expenditures. The The year 2019 was not a happy year for car importers in the United States. Recession led to a general decline in auto sales, while the fall in the value of the dollar shaved profit margins for many dealers in imported cars. Capstan more than most firms foresaw the difficulties ahead and reacted at once by offering 6 months' free credit while holding the sale price of its cars constant. Wages and other costs were pared by 25% to $150,000 a quarter, and the company effectively eliminated all capital expenditures. The policy appeared successful. Unit sales fell by 20% to 200 units a quarter, but the company continued to operate at a satisfactory profit (see table). The slump in sales lasted for 6 months, but as consumer confidence began to return, auto sales began to recover. The company's new policy of 6 months' free credit was proving sufficiently popular that Sidney Capstan decided to maintain the policy. In the third quarter of 2019 sales had recovered to 225 units; by the fourth quarter they were 250 units; and by the first quarter of the next year they had reached 275 units. It looked as if by the second quarter of 2020 the company could expect to sell 300 cars. Earnings before interest and tax were already in excess of their previous high, and Sidney Capstan was able to congratulate himself on weathering what looked to be a tricky period. Over the 18- month period the firm had earned net profits of over half a million dollars, and the equity had grown from just over $1.5 million to about $2 million. Sidney Capstan was first and foremost a superb salesman and always left the financial aspects of the business to his financial manager. However, there was one feature of the financial statements that disturbed Sidney Capstan-the mounting level of debt, which by the end of the first quarter of 2020 had reached $9.7 million. This unease turned to alarm when the financial manager phoned to say that the bank was reluctant to extend further credit and was even questioning its current level of exposure to the company. Mr. Capstan found it impossible to understand how such a successful year could have landed the company in financial difficulties. The company had always had good relationships with its bank, and the interest rate on its bank loans was a reasonable 8% a year (or about 2% a quarter). Surely, Mr. Capstan reasoned, when the bank saw the projected sales growth for the rest of 2020, it would realize that there were plenty of profits to enable the company to start repaying its loans. Mr. Capstan kept coming back to three questions: 1) Was his company really in trouble? 2) Could the bank be right in its decision to withhold further credit? 3) And why was the company's indebtedness increasing when its profits were higher than ever?
