H2O Industries
Financial Plan
As of August 1999, stockholder equity stood at $112,000. Additional infusion of equity from new shareholders will boost the equity capital.
To complete the necessary planned additions to plant and equipment, a 5-year term loan will be required from a financial institution. The projected cash-flow is sufficient to repay this loan in quarterly installments. This term loan should be sufficient to cover the increases in accounts receivable, as well as to support growth in inventory of rental tanks.
7.1 Important Assumptions
Tax Rate:
Tax rate reflects the present sliding scale:
- $0 to $50,000 @ 15% Federal, plus 9.5% State tax
- $50 to $75,000 @ 25%
- $75 to $100,000 @ 34%
- $100 to $335,000 @ 39%
- $335,000 and up @ 34%
Inventory Turnover:
Since this is a service business, the only inventory is that of chemicals and some resin, both of which do not need to be stored more than two weeks. Average is one week (inventory turnover rate of 48).
