TCI’s future financial health looks fairly stable over the


years analyzed and forecasted. With the forecast from
the management, there is an increase in sales and
stable ratios. The increase in sales each year does not
show an increase in expenses at the same level. This
position allows the net income to grow. The increase in
net income shows that TCI is in a good position to
obtain the loan. Therefore, it is recommended that the
bank loan TCI the funds.

What will be the impact of on TCI's external funding requirements as of the end of 19
a) inventory were not reduced by the end of 1996
b) Accrued Expenses were to grow less than expected in the year 1996

Solution
a) If inventory was not reduced by the end of 1996 then the External Financing need for the year 1996 will be increased
Also the external funding need for the year 1997 will be reduced to 15660$ .
It can be seen here

OGS in 1995 is 58% of sales in 1995. And this 58% is assumed to be the forecasting rate for future years for COGS
he management is conservative and will take extra liability as late as it can.

Question 5
What would be the impact on TCI's external funding requirements as of end of 1997 if
a) TCI depreciated more than 5% of the warehouse's total cost in 1997
b)TCI experienced higher price inflation in its revenues and operating costs (but not in the costs of
c) Days receivable were reduced to 45 days or days payables were increased to 45 days

Solution
a) If TCI Depreciated more than 5% of the warehouse total cost in 1997, then the external financing need will also redu
Reasoning: Depreciated more than 5% ==> Total Assets will decrease
Depreciated more than 5% ==>PAT for 1997 will be lesser ==> Retained earnings will be lesser ==> total liabilities will b
==> external funding need required will be less
Example: If Depreciation was increased fom 5% to 10% on warehouse total cost, then external financing need reduced
It can be seen here

b)TCI experienced higher price inflation in its revenues and operating costs for both the years then, external funding n
For Example: the inflation is 10%, then all our growth percentage in sales will be from 20% to ((1+0.2)*(1+0.1)-1) % whi
the price inflation in sales which show its effect on operating costs as it is calculated as a percentage of sales
hence our external funding requirement in th year 1996 will be increased to 444020$ and in 1997 will be increased to 11
It can be seen here

c) Days receivables were reduced to 45 days , or days payables were increased to 45 days
1996 1997
old Days receivable 51.98461 51.9846 days
New A/R is 3302.904 5043 ('000$)
Surplus funds invested in
Marketable securities 656.63 ('000$)

External financing need financed


by Bank debt - (Line of credit) 842.04 ('000$)
So when Days receivables were reduced, the External funding was nto required in 1996 instead we have to invest the surplus in m

And in 1997 the external funding required increased to 842040$


It can be seen here
ANSWERS

5a)
Assumptions
1. We are assuming the forecast rate as a % of forecasted sale for that year for all items except cash, inventory, Gross assets, Depreciation ,
And that forecasted percentage is derived by finding the item as a % of sales for yr 1995. For ex-COGS in 1995 is 58% of sales in 1995. And
2. We are assuming that increase in Bank debt (plug) happens at the end of the year as the management is conservative and w
So interest on the pulg for 1996 will be charged in the year 1997
3. We are assuming the interest rate on the old Long term Debt also to be 10%. When we actually found out historical interest r
4. We are assuming income tax rate of year 1995 for the future years
5. Interest on the external financing plug of 1995 will be provided in the year 1996 and it will be outstanding interest
