Technical Question - Three financial statements

How would a purchase of PPE financed using 50% debt and 50% equity flow through the three statements for year one and year two? I did a search but couldn't find a solid answer. A walkthrough would be greatly appreciated.

How would a purchase of PPE financed using 50% debt and 50% equity flow through the three statements for year one and year two? I did a search but couldn't find a solid answer. A walkthrough would be greatly appreciated.

Let's assume that $100 PP&E were to be financed using 50% debt (with no interest/principal payments just for the sake of simplicity) and 50% equity with a depreciation period of 10 years ($10 depreciation per year).

Basically the changes after two years would be:

Income Statement: Depreciation down 20 Assuming tax 40%, net income will be down 12.

Cash Flow Statement: Net income is down 12 Depreciation is added back (up 20) CapEx is down 100 (referring to total $100 spent for PP&E) LT Debt is up 50 (referring to $50 debt issued for PP&E) Net change in cash = down by 42

Balance Sheet: Cash is down by 42 PP&E = $100 (CapEx) - 20 (depreciation) = 80 Total Assets = 80 - 42 = 38

LT Debt is up 50 Net income flows to Retained Earnings = down by 12 Total Liabilities & SE = 50 - 12 = 38

And both sides balance.

You could make it more complicated by adding in interest/principal repayments but the concept will be basically the same.

 

Im pretty sure you are wrong on this one. You forgot the fact that you are financing 50% of this purchase with equity so you did not show the change in SE.

assuming $5 in depreciation, no principal payments and $5 in interest lets start in year 0

IS: No change CFS: CF from investing is down 100 for capex; CF from financing is up 100 50 from issuing debt and 50 from issuing stock BS: assets are up 100 from PPE; LTD is up 50 and SE is up 50

Year 1 IS: NI is down 6 assuming 40% tax rate CF: NI is down 6, add back depreciation so you are down $1 in Net Cash BS: Cash is down 1, PPE is down $5 so assets are total down $6 which balances with RE which is down $6

Year 2 has the same effects
