...Analyzing Pro Forma Statements FIN 571 September 11, 2014 Introduction This paper is the analysis of pro forma financial statements. Pro forma statements are forecasted or projected financial statements as a result of financial planning. The financial statements are based on the inputs and assumptions such as percent of sales model in which most of the entries vary directly with the level of sales. The attached excel spreadsheet includes pro forma statements for the next five years. This company decided to invest in the purchase of new equipment to help increase sales. The resulting projections are the focus of this paper. Analysis of pro forma statements will determine if the company requires any external financing to support its planned initiatives. Assumptions supporting each line for forecasted statements This paper covers a five year plan with the basic assumptions for the pro forma statements that the equipment purchase initiative will increase sales by 12% for the first two years, and then 5% for the next three years. The cost of sales including purchases, production and labor, and ending inventory will vary with sales, while beginning inventory comes from prior year ending inventory. Depreciation will increase by $40K for the additional equipment in year one. Fixed assets will not vary from year to year, except for $200K increase in equipment expected in the first year to support sales growth. Retained earnings for the prior year comes from previous year, and...

...Analyzing Pro Forma Statements FIN/571 Kalena Armstrong-Henry November 4, 2013 Analyzing Pro Forma Statements General and financial managers can both benefit from forecasting financial statements. Proforma statements assist financial managers to plan accordingly, in terms of the company’s financial needs. How much financing is needed and when it is needed can be determined by acquiring an estimate of the company’s future balance sheet accounts and income statement. Hence, the purpose of the Proforma analysis is to forecast the company’s financial statements under a particular condition (Parrino et al., 2012). Subsequently, total assets must equate the sum of total liabilities and owner’s equity; otherwise the manager must consider corrective action (Parrino et al., 2012). The Proforma analysis has been proven to be instrumental for general managers in the planning of inventory and employment intensities; particularly problems solving issues. During the developing stages of the forecasting a manager is permitted to analyze the results; thus, identifying potential “hot spots” and handling the issues accordingly. Dealing with “hot spots” with ample time to spare during the forecasting stage is vital to any financial manager. When performing a Proforma Analysis the financial manager can handle forthcoming issues weeks or months in advance; thus, providing the manager ample time to avoid a potential real-time calamity. Subsequently, the manager will gain the ability to...

...Task 1 Assessment for Supply Chain Management B. I named my microcomputer company GigaJet. I don’t know if it is true for everyone that opens a business, but I find that naming a business is a very difficult task. The company name is reflective of what I wanted shareholders to feel when they saw and used the product; a microcomputer that has a lot of storage, “Giga”, and is fast and can go anywhere, “Jet”. Within the simulation each business was required to pick two segments to manufacture the microcomputers for. At GigaJet I chose to focus the manufacturing of our products to supply the workhorse and traveler customers. I chose these two segments because they had similar customer needs and wants, as well as a high potential demand. The next step within the simulation was to choose which markets to sell the microcomputers to. I developed a simple spreadsheet to analyze what markets would be the best fit for the company’s long term success. This spreadsheet was developed by multiplying the potential demand in each segment by the price that customers were willing to pay. From the following spreadsheet, I determined that the best markets for GigaJet to sell to were in the North American and European markets. |North America|Europe|Asia|South America|Total| Workhorse|$17,985,000|$19,377,500|$12,410,000|$13,905,000|$63,677,500| Mercedes|$19,288,000|$13,836,000|$16,960,000|$9,424,000|$59,508,000| Traveler|$12,041,600|$8...

...were found to have contributed to the shortage of funds. From the analysis, we were able to conclude that the main reasons for the firm’s insufficient funds were due to its slower collection of accounts receivable, higher costs of goods sold, heavy reliance on debt financing and most importantly a growth rate that is not sustainable. From Exhibit 1 in the Appendix, the current and quick ratios have been declining since 1988; furthermore, the quick ratio is less than 1, which indicates that the firm is deeply reliant on its inventory to meet the payments of its current liabilities. This is a problem since more inventory means more cash tied up in less liquid assets, which decreases the firm’s cash. Secondly, when analyzing the firm’s profitability, ROA increased by 3% from 1989 to 1990, but this was mainly due to the increase in total asset turnover which increased from 3.03 to 3.23 (Exhibit 1). Another component of ROA, net profit margin, declined from 1.69% to 1.63% (Exhibit 1). This is indicative of the fact that, asset turnover is higher due to higher sales. However, net profit margin indicates that in addition to the increase in sales, cost of goods sold increased at a greater rate than sales. This is an important factor because both higher sales and higher costs lead to diseconomies of sales, which is...

...Assignment 2: You Are an Entrepreneur Student: Peter M. Burke Instructor: Dr. Muhammad Sumadi ACC557: Financial Accounting November 18, 2012 Introduction When I was about two years old, my grandfather took me on my first of many fishing trips to a small lake near his house. When his grandchildren visited, we all went along with him. He gave each of us our own special fishing poles, and he taught us everything about fishing, from how to set up our poles to how to bait our hooks, and eventually how to clean fish. As I grew older, our fishing trips grew from hour-long visits to a local lake to trips to the coast, where we would go on deep-sea fishing expeditions. He found relaxation and peace in the hobby, and it became my favorite way to relax as well. I have decided that there is no reason that I cannot turn this hobby that I love into a profitable business, and have decided to become a deep sea fishing guide. Type of business The business that I intend to start is a charter fishing boat business. The name of the business will be Blue Water Fishing Guides. I will operate the business out of Islamorada, Florida, a small town located in the Florida Keys. I will start the business with two fishing boats with a total passenger capacity of 6 guest fishermen per boat in addition to a captain. One boat will operate on a daily basis as long as there are at least two customers, with the second boat being in use if the first boat’s capacity is exceeded. There are...
