1. Delta has 600,000 common shares outstanding. The firm is projecting a 20% increase in net sales for the coming year (20X3). Delta uses the percentage of sales approach to plan for its financing needs. In using this approach, the firm assumes that cost of goods sold, all assets (current and fixed), and accounts payable will all remain a constant percentage of sales. Depreciation expense is assumed to be 15% of net fixed assets, while notes payable and long-term debt will remain at the same level as 20X2. The interest rate charged on notes payable and long-term debt is also expected to remain the same. The firm will aim to maintain its dividend payout of 30% for the foreseeable future.

a. Construct the pro-forma Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position for Delta Corporation for 20X3. Calculate the external financing needed (EFN) for 20X3. Round all your numbers in the pro-forma statements to the nearest dollar. (4 marks)

b. Based on its 20X2 information, what is Deltas capital intensity ratio? Round your answer to four decimal places. (1 mark)

c. What is Deltas full capacity sales if it is currently operating at 80% capacity (20X2)? Round your answer to the nearest integer. (1 mark)

d. Recalculate the firms external financing needed (EFN) for 20X3 if Delta is only operating at 80% capacity. Assume that if the 20X3 net sales is lower than full capacity sales, then the net fixed assets in 20X3 will be the same as the net fixed assets in 20X2 (i.e., assume that the firm will purchase just enough fixed assets to cover depreciation expense for 20X3). Interpret this EFN number. (5 marks)

e. What is Deltas internal growth rate for 20X2? Round your final answer in percentage to two decimal places. (2 marks)

f. What is Deltas sustainable growth rate for 20X2? Round your final answer in percentage to two decimal places. (2 marks)

g. Assume that Delta is operating at 100% capacity. Calculate the EFN for the firm if it wants to grow its sales by 100% for 20X3. Interpret this EFN number. (5 marks
