By using long-term financing to finance part of temporary current assets, a firm may have less risk but lower returns than a firm with a normal financing plan. Explain the significance of this statement.

Eastern Auto Parts Inc. has 15 percent of its sales paid for in cash and 85 percent on credit. All credit accounts are collected in the following month. Assume the following sales:

January

\(65,000

February

\)55,000

March

\(100,000

April

\)45,000

Sales in December of the prior year were $75,000. Prepare a cash receipts schedule for January through April.

Guardian Inc. is trying to develop an asset financing plan. The firm has \(400,000 in temporary current assets and \)300,000 in permanent current assets. Guardian also has $500,000 in fixed assets. Assume a tax rate of 40 percent.

a. Construct two alternative financing plans for Guardian. One of the plans should be conservative, with 75 percent of assets financed by long-term sources, and the other should be aggressive, with only 56.25 percent of assets financed by long-term sources. The current interest rate is 15 percent on long-term funds and 10 percent on short-term financing.

Fisk Corporation is trying to improve its inventory control system and has installed an online computer at its retail stores. Fisk anticipates sales of 49,000 units per year, an ordering cost of \(8 per order, and carrying costs of \)1.60 per unit.

c. What will the average inventory be?

Assume that Atlas Sporting Goods Inc. has \(840,000 in assets. If it goes with a low-liquidity plan for the assets, it can earn a return of 15 percent, but with a high-liquidity plan the return will be 12 percent. If the firm goes with a short-term financing plan, the financing costs on the \)840,000 will be 9 percent, and with a long-term financing plan, the financing costs on the $840,000 will be 11 percent. (Review Table 6-11 for parts a, b, and c of this problem.)

a. Compute the anticipated return after financing costs with the most aggressive asset financing mix.

b. Compute the anticipated return after financing costs with the most conservative asset financing mix.

c. Compute the anticipated return after financing costs with the two moderate approaches to the asset financing mix.

d. If the firm used the most aggressive asset financing mix described in part a and had the anticipated return you computed for part a, what would earnings per share be if the tax rate on the anticipated return was 30 percent and there were 20,000 shares outstanding?

e. Now assume the most conservative asset financing mix described in part b will be utilized. The tax rate will be 30 percent. Also assume there will only be 5,000 shares outstanding. What will earnings per share be? Would it be higher or lower than the earnings per share computed for the most aggressive plan computed in part d?
