a) Create Blue Sky’s income statement and balance sheet using formulas wherever possible. Each
statement should be on a separate worksheet. Improve the readability of the data by using the format
explained on page 49, so that Excel will display the numbers as if they had been divided by 1,000.
Make the appropriate note on the heading of each financial statement.
b) On another worksheet, create a statement of cash flows for 2017. All formulas should be linked
directly to the source on previous worksheets.
c) Using Excel’s outlining feature, create an outline on the balance sheet that, when collapsed, shows
only the subtotals for each section.

2. Using the data from the previous problem:


a) Create a common-size income statement and balance sheet for 2017 and 2016. These statements
should be created on a separate worksheet with all formulas linked directly to the income statement
and balance sheet.
b) Using the common-size income statement for 2017, create a forecasted income statement for 2018
assuming that each item is expected to remain in the same proportion as in 2017. The forecasted sales
for 2018 are $8,500,000.

source on previous worksheets instead of numbers.
c) Create a common-size income statement and balance sheet for 2017 and 2016. These statements
should be created on a separate worksheet with all formulas linked directly to the income statement
and balance sheet.
10 Chapter 2: The Basic Financial Statements
Instructor’s Manual Problem Set

4. Dragon Telecommunications Inc. wants to create forecasted financial statements for 2018 based
on its accounting data in 2017.

In 2017 total revenue was $1,550,000; cost of goods sold was $1,250,000; selling and G&A
expenses were $110,000; depreciation expense was $15,000; interest expense was $25,000; the
average tax rate was 35%, and the number of shares outstanding was 80,000.

Also, in 2017 Dragon had cash of $20,000; accounts receivable of $120,000; inventory of
$220,000; plant & equipment of $1,150,000 with an accumulated depreciation of $250,000.
Accounts payable, notes payable, long-term debt, common stock, additional paid-in-capital, and
retained earnings represented 7%, 0.5%, 20%, 44.5%, 12%, and 16% of total assets,
respectively.

For 2018, Dragon expects a 25% increase in total revenue, while cost of goods sold and selling
and G&A expenses are expected to remain at the same proportion of total revenue as in 2017.
Both total plant and equipment and depreciation expense will increase by 12%. Similarly, long-
term debt is forecasted and interest expense will increase by 20%, but the tax rate and the
number of shares outstanding will remain constant.

Additionally accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and notes payable are expected
to increase 15%, while common stock and paid-in-capital will increase by 25%. The dividend
policy in 2018 will be based on a dividend payout ratio of 50%. In other words, 50% of
forecasted earnings will be paid to shareholders as dividends.
Using these projections, create the forecasted 2018 income statement, balance sheet, and statement of
cash flows for Dragon Telecommunications Inc. Each statement should be on a separate worksheet.
