Q6. Yоu hаve been given the аttаched infоrmatiоn on the ABC Company.  ABC expects sales to grow by 30 percent in 2019 and operating costs should increase in proportion to sales.  Fixed assets were being operated at 90 percent of capacity in 2018, but all other assets were used to full capacity. Underutilized fixed assets cannot be sold.  Current assets and spontaneous liabilities should increase in proportion to sales during 2019.  The company plans to finance any external funds needed as 40 percent notes payable and 60 percent long-term debt.  The interest rate is 8 percent and you can assume that interest expenses will be paid at the beginning of the year.  That is, interest expenses for 2019 will be based on the amount of debt at the end of 2018.  The dividend payout ratio (50%) will remain constant.   Calculate the projected 2019 addition to R.E. (retained earnings).  Information on the ABC Company:                                              Year 2018       Sales                                  $1,000.00 Operating costs                     800.00                      EBIT                                  $  200.00 Interest                                    15.00                      EBT                                    $  185.00 Taxes (40%)                              74.00                      Net Income                        $  111.00 Dividends (50%)                      55.50                      Add'n to R.E.                     $     55.50                                                    December 31, 2018       Current Assets                 $  700.00 Net fixed Assets                   300.00                      Total assets                       $1,000.00                        A/P and Accruals              $  150.00 N/P                                         100.00 Long term debt                    100.00 Common stock                     150.00 Retained earnings                500.00                      Total Liab & Equity           $1,000.00
