Upton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers, stocks them in conveniently located warehouses, ships them to its chain

of retail stores, and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Upton's balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, is shown here (millions of dollars):
Cash $3.5 Accounts payable $9.0
Receivables 26.0 Notes payable 18.0
Inventories 58.0 Line of credit 0
Total current assets $87.5 Accruals 8.5
Net fixed assets 35.0 Total current liabilities $35.5
Mortgage loan 6.0
Common stock 15.0
Retained earnings 66.0
Total assets $122.5 Total liabilities and equity $122.5

Sales for 2013 were $375 million and net income for the year was $11.25 million, so the firm's profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of $4.5 million to common stockholders, so its payout ratio was 40%. Its tax rate is 40%, and it operated at full capacity. Assume that all assets/sales ratios, spontaneous liabilities/sales ratios, the profit margin, and the payout ratio remain constant in 2014. Do not round intermediate calculations.
If sales are projected to increase by $70 million, or 18.67%, during 2014, use the AFN equation to determine Upton's projected external capital requirements. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Using the AFN equation, determine Upton's self-supporting growth rate. That is, what is the maximum growth rate the firm can achieve without having to employ nonspontaneous external funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast Upton's balance sheet for December 31, 2014. Assume that all additional external capital is raised as a line of credit at the end of the year and is reflected (because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt).
Assume Upton's profit margin and dividend payout ratio will be the same in 2014 as they were in 2013. What is the amount of the line of credit reported on the 2014 forecasted balance sheets? (Hint: You don't need to forecast the income statements because you are given the projected sales, profit margin, and dividend payout ratio; these figures allow you to calculate the 2014 addition to retained earnings for the balance sheet.) Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Answer:

AFN (Additional Funds needed) is $ 11.59 Million, Growth rate is 6.87 %.

Explanation:

1) Additional Funds Needed or AFN can be calculated as below=

AFN = (Total Assets / Previous year sales) x Change in Sale -( Liabilities affected by sales / Previous year sales) x Change in Sale - (Projected net income x Retention ratio ) ----- (a)

According to given data in question

Total Assets= 122.5 million

Change in Sales = 70  

Liabilities affected by sales = 17.5

Previous year sales = 375

Projected net income = 445

Putting the above values in equation (a)

AFN = (122.5 / 375) x 70 -( 17.5 / 375) x 70 - 445 x 0.030 x 0.60

AFN = 11.59 million

2) Growth rate : Growth rate formula is given below,

Growth rate = (Total Assets x g) - (Liabilities affected by sales x g ) - Previous year sales ( 1 +g) x 0.3 x 0.60

Growth rate = 6.87 %

Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Local advertising is of capital importance, especially for those who want to spread their business in specific cities or geographic regions.  

With word of mouth advertising, you can surely get your business to reach different cities; but not at the speed that is required to recover the investment invested.

Businesses that have a local advertising plan will be able to bring their products and / or services to potential customers located in the target geographic area and increase their recognition as a local brand.

We are sure you have heard the following quotes; <em>"The best publicity is what satisfied customers do"</em> by Philip Kotler, and "What helps people helps business" by Leo Burnett

So why is local advertising important? Business owners have asked themselves this question for years, and the answer is really quite simple ...  To get attention, direct traffic to your business and close sales.
