additional financing has not been obtained. The AFN formula assumes that the profit
margin will remain constant, which means that all expenses are variable or move directly
with sales.
Part C
The following tasks or challenges are best handled by setting up spreadsheet–based methods
projecting financial statements.
A. Prepare projected income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows for
Pharma Biotech for 2021 that build upon the projections for 2020 prepared in Part B
above. What is the cumulative (2020 and 2021) amount of additional funds needed?
Spreadsheet results are provided below. The amount of funds needed is $3,664 in 2020
and $9,240 in 2021. The two-year total is $12,903. The $1 difference ($12,903 versus
$12,904) is due to rounding each of the annual AFN to the nearest dollar. Recall that the
B. Calculate the total-debt-to-total-assets ratio and the equity multiplier ratio (covered in
Chapter 5) assuming the cumulative AFN is financed with debt funds. How would these
ratios compare with the same ratios calculated for 2019 in [Part A] Item A above?
2020 total-debt-to-total-assets ratio = (current liabilities + long-term debt + 2017 AFN) =
(6,001 + 2200 + 3664)/18,000 = 11,865/18,000 = .6592 = 65.92%
