What is Financial Planning?Financial planning formulates the
way financial goals are to be achieved
Financial plan – a statement of what is to be done in the future
What is the goal of financial management?

Short vs. Long-term Financial Planning
Short-term planning – analysis of decisions that affect current assets and current liabilities:o Cash and liquidity managemento Credit and inventory management
Long-term planning – focuses on the “big picture”:o Capital budgetingo Dividend policyo Financial structure
9
Dimensions of Financial Planning
1. Financial horizon – the long-range time period the financial planning process focuses on, usually the next 2-5 years
2. Aggregation – process by which smaller investment proposals of each of a firm’s operational units are added up and treated as one big unit
3. Alternative set of assumptions about important variables (scenario analysis)
10
Aims of Financial Planning (1)1. Examining interactions – make explicit
the linkages between investment proposals for the different operating activities of the firm and financing choices available to the firm
2. Exploring options – develop, analyze and compare many different scenarios in a consistent way
3. Avoiding surprises – identify what may happen to the firm if different events take place
11
Aims of Financial Planning (2)4. Ensuring feasibility and internal
consistency – are the company’s goals compatible?
5. Communication with investors and lenders
12
Financial Planning Model: Elements (1)
1. Sales forecast – given as a growth rate in sales
2. Pro forma statements – a financial plan has a forecasted balance sheet, an income statement, and a statement of cash flows
3. Asset requirements – firms’ total capital budget consists of changes in total fixed assets and net working capital
13
Financial Planning Model: Elements (2)
4. Financial requirements – how to raise the capital; dividend policy and debt policy
5. Cash surplus or shortfall (“plug”) – the designated source of external financing needed to deal with any shortfall in financing and to bring the balance sheet into balance
6. Economic assumptions – level of interest rates, the firm’s tax rate and sales forecast
14
Simple Financial Planning ModelAll variables are tied to sales and
this relationship is optimal
The growth in assets requires the management to decide how to finance the growth (debt vs. equity)o Dividend policy o Financing policy

Pro forma balance sheet (debt as the plug variable)Assets Debt 110 (-140)
600 Equity 490 (+all NI)Total 600 Total 600
18
The Percentage of Sales Approach
A financial planning method in which accounts are projected depending on a firm’s predicted sales level
Not all of the items vary directly with sales
19
Percentage of sales approach:
example (1)• ROSENGARTEN CORPORATION
Initial income statementSales $1,000Costs 800(80%)Taxable Income $200Taxes 68Net Income $132(13.2%)
Addition to retained earnings $88Dividends $44
20
(2)
Dividend payout ratio = Cash dividends/Net income = $ 44/$132 *100= 331/3%
Retention ratio (plowback ratio) = Retained earnings/Net income = $88/$132*100 = 662/3%
or retention ratio = 1- dividend payout ratio =
1-0.333 = 0.667
21
(3)
Projected addition to retained earnings = 165*0.667
Projected dividends paid to shareholders =165*0.333
Net income =165
Pro forma income statement (25% sales increase)Sales $1,250Costs 1000(80%)Taxable income $250Taxes 85Net income $165(13.2%)

24
External Financing
For Rosengarten Corporation: Assets-(Liability + Equity) = $3,750 – $3,185 =
$565In order to have a 25% increase in sales the
corporation has to raise $565 in new financing
Possible sources of financing : - short-term borrowing - long-term borrowing - new equity
External financing needed (EFN) = the amount of financing required to balance both sides of the balance sheet
25
Capital Intensity RatioA firm’s total assets divided by its
sales
The amount of assets needed to generate $1 sales
26
EFN and Capacity UsageSuppose Rosengarten is
operating at 80% capacity:
1. What would be sales at full capacity?
2. What is the capital intensity ratio at full capacity?
3. What is EFN?
27
Answers: (homework)
Conclusion: excess capacity reduces the need for external financing and capital intensity ratio
28
EFN and Growth Increase in total assets is financed internally
and externally Increase in total assets = assets (A) × sales
growth (g) Internal financing = Addition to retained
earnings = Projected net income × retention ratio (R) = Profit margin (p) × projected sales[S×(1+g)] × retention ratio
or
or
EFN = A×g – p×S×R×(1+g)
Internal growth rate = ROA×R/(1-ROA×R)
29
Financial Policy and Growth
A firm may not wish to sell any new equity
If a firm borrows to its debt capacity sustainable growth rate can be achieved
Debt capacity = the ability to borrow to increase firm value
g* = ROE×R/(1-ROE×R)
30
Internal vs. Sustainable Growth Rates
Internal growth rate – the maximum growth rate a firm can maintain with only internal financing
Sustainable growth rate – the maximum growth rate a firm can achieve with no external equity financing

Determinants of Growth
1. Profit margin
2. Dividend policy
3. Financial policy
4. Total asset turnover
g* = [p (S/A) (1+D/E)×R]/[1-p(S/A)(1+D/E)×R]
