  1. Chapter 8 Financial Planning and Control

  2. Financial Planning and Control • Financial Planning: • The projection of sales, income, and assets based on alternative production and marketing strategies, as well as the determination of the resources needed to achieve these projections • Financial Control • The phase in which financial plans are implemented, control deals with the feedback and adjustment process required to ensure adherence to plans and modification of plans because of unforeseen changes.

  3. Financial Planning: The Sales Forecast • A forecast of a firm’s unit and dollar sales for some future period, generally based on recent sales trends plus forecasts of the economic prospects for the nation, region, industry, etc.

  4. Projected (Pro Forma) Financial Statements • A method of forecasting financial requirements based on forecasted financial statements • AFN = additional funds needed to support the level of forecasted operations • Determine how much money the firm will need in a given period. • Determine how much money the firm will generate internally during the same period. • Subtract the funds generated internally from the funds required to determine the external financial requirements.

  5. Step 1. Forecast the 2014 Income Statement Unilate Textiles Company • Assumptions: • Unilate operated at full capacity in 2013. • Sales are expected to grow by 10 percent. • The variable cost ratio remains at 82 percent (same as 2013). • 2014 dividend per share will be the same as in 2013.

  6. Step 1. Forecast the 2014 Income Statement ($ millions) Unilate Textiles

  7. Step 2. Forecast the 2014 Balance Sheet ($ millions) Unilate Textiles

  8. Step 3. Raising the Additional Funds Needed • Higher sales must be supported by higher assets. • Asset increase can be financed by spontaneous increases in accounts payable and accruals and by retained earnings. • Any short fall must be financed from external sources--by borrowing or by selling new stock. Unilate has decided that any additional funds needed to support future operations will be raised mainly by issuing new common stock.

  9. Step 4. Financing Feedbacks The effects on the income statement and balance sheet of actions taken to finance forecasted increases in assets

  10. 2014 Adjusted Forecast of Income Statement ($ millions) Unilate Textiles

  11. 2014 Adjusted Forecast of Balance Sheet ($ millions) Unilate Textiles

  12. Unilate Textiles: Adjusted Key Ratios

  13. $1 , 500 $1 , 875 million. = = 0 . 80 Suppose in 2013 fixed assets had been operated at only 80% of capacity: Other Considerations in Forecasting: Excess Capacity

  14. Other Considerations in Forecasting: Economies of Scale • Unilate’s variable cost ratio is 82% of sales. • Ratio might decrease to 80% if operations increase significantly. Changes in variable cost ratio affect the addition to retained earnings which affects the amount of AFN.

  15. Other Considerations in Forecasting: Lumpy Assets • Assets that cannot be acquired in small increments, but must be obtained in large, discrete amounts

  16. Summary: How different factors affect the AFN forecast. • Dividend payout ratio changes. • If reduced, more RE, reduce AFN. • Profit margin changes. • If increases, total and retained earnings increase, reduce AFN. • Plant capacity changes. • Less capacity used, less need for AFN. • Payment terms increased to 60 days. • Accts. payable would double, increasing liabilities, reduce AFN.

  17. Financial Control - Budgeting and Leverage • The phase in which financial plans are implemented; control deals with the feedback and adjustment processes required to ensure the firm is following the right financial path to accomplish its goals, and, if not, to make necessary corrections.

  18. Operating Breakeven Analysis • An analytical technique for studying the relationship between sales revenues, operating costs, and profits • Operating breakeven analysis deals only with the upper portion of the income statement - the portion from sales to NOI

  19. Unilate’s 2014 Forecasted Operating Income ($ millions)

  20. Revenues & Costs Total Sales Revenues (P x Q) 1,400 1,200 1,000 600 400 0 Operating Profit(EBIT > 0) Total OperatingCosts (F + Q x V) SOpBE = Operating BreakevenPoint (EBIT = 0) 856 800 Operating Loss(EBIT < 0) Total Fixed Costs (F) 200 154 0 20 40 57 60 80 100 120 Units QOpBE Operating Breakeven Chart

  23. Operating Leverage • The existence of fixed operating costs, such that a change in sales will produce a larger change in operating income (EBIT) • The percentage change in NOI (or EBIT) associated with a given percentage change in sales

  24. Gross Prof it DOL = S EBIT $297$143 = = 2.08x Calculating the Degree of Operating Leverage Each 1 percent change in sales, will result in a 2.08 percent change in operating income.

  25. Operating Income at Sales Levels of 110 and 99 Million Units

  26. Financial Breakeven Analysis • Determining the operating income (EBIT) the firm needs to just cover all of its fixed financing costs and produce earnings per share equal to zero

  27. Earnings available to common stockholders EPS = = 0 Number of common shares outstanding (EBIT - I)(1 - T) - Dps = = 0 Shrsc Dps EBITFinBE = I + (1 - T) Financial Breakeven Computation = $41.4 + 0 = $41.4

  28. Financial Leverage • The existence of fixed financial costs such as interest and preferred dividends when a change in EBIT results in a larger change in EPS

  29. EBIT EBIT DFL = = - - [financial BEP] EBIT I EBIT $143.0 $143.0 DFL110 1.41x = = = $101.6 $143.0 - $41.4 Unilate Textiles:Degree of Financial Leverage

  30. Gross profit DTL = - [Financial BEP] EBIT S - VC Q(P - V) = = - I [Q (P - V) - F] - I EBIT $297.0 = = 2.92x $101.6 Degree of Total Leverage = DOL x DFL = 2.08 x 1.41 = 2.92x

  31. Importance of Forecasting and Control Functions • If projected operating results are not satisfactory, management can reformulate its plans. • If funds required to meet sales forecast cannot be obtained, management can sale back projected levels of operations. • If required funds can be raised, it is best to plan for their acquisition in advance. • Any deviation from projections needs to be handled to improve future forecasts.
