Construct a pro forma balance sheet


Problem:

JAS Corporation has a December 31, 2005 balance sheet as given below.  All amounts shown are in $ millions:

Cash                            $10               Accounts payable                          $ 15

Accounts receivable        25                Notes payable                                 20

Inventory                       40                Accrued wages and taxes                15

Net fixed assets              75                Long-term debt                               30

                                                        Common equity                               70_

                                                        Total liabilities and equity

            Total assets                  $150                                                      $150


Sales during the past year were $100, and they are expected to rise by 50 percent to $150 during next year. Also, during last year fixed assets were being utilized to only 85 percent of capacity, so JAS could have supported $100 of sales with fixed assets that were only 85 percent of last year's actual fixed assets.  As a result, net fixed assets are expected to increase to $95.62. Assume that JAS’s profit margin will remain constant at 5 percent and that the company will continue to pay out 60 percent of its earnings as dividends. Construct a pro forma balance sheet. To the nearest whole dollar, what amount of additional funds will be needed during the next year?
