(Financial forecasting-percent of sales) Next year's sales for Cumberland Mfg. are expected to be $20.00 million. Current sales are $16 million, based on current assets of $5.33 million and fixed assets of $8.00 million. The firm's net profit margin is 3 percent after taxes. Cumberland estimates that its current assets will rise in direct proportion to the increase in sales, but that its fixed assets will increase by only $200,000. Currently, Cumberland has $1.50 million in accounts payable (which vary directly with sales), $2 million in long-term debt (due in 10 years), and common equity (including $2 million in retained earnings) totaling $9.83 million. Cumberland plans to pay $0.20 million in common stock dividends next year. a. What are Cumberland's total financing needs (that is, total assets) for the coming year?
b. Given the firm's projections and dividend payment plans, what are its discretionary financing needs?
c. Based on your projections, and assuming that the $200,000 expansion in fixed assets will occur, what is the largest increase in sales the firm can support without having to resort to the use of discretionary sources of financing?

You have just been hired as a financial analyst for barrington industries. unfortunately, company headquarters (where all of the firm's records are kept) has been destroyed by fire. so, your first job will be to recreate the firm's cash flow statement for the year just ended. the firm had $100,000 in the bank at the end of the prior year, and its working capital accounts except cash remained constant during the year. it earned $5 million in net income during the year but paid $800,000 in dividends to common shareholders. throughout the year, the firm purchased $5.5 million of machinery that was needed for a new project. you have just spoken to the firm's accountants and learned that annual depreciation expense for the year is $450,000; however, the purchase price for the machinery represents additions to property, plant, and equipment before depreciation. finally, you have determined that the only financing done by the firm was to issue long-term debt of $1 million at a 6% interest rate. what was the firm's end- of-year cash balance? recreate the firm's cash flow statement to arrive at your answer
