11. Does the amount of time it takes Herman Miller to pay it’s suppliers appear to be a problem?
(Hint: compare their ratios to the industry)

12. When comparing the assets on the balance sheet to industry averages, what account should the analyst question?
13. What was MLHR's Net Working Capital for the last two years (omit 000's)?
a. Last Year (FYE 2015) = $ - 0
b. Previous Year (FYE 2014) = $ - 0
14. Assume that MLHR is projecting the same sales next year (0% sales growth). Use the pro-forma sheet to determine any impact on
the financial statements. Cash and Notes Payable are the plug variables. What are the new values for these plug
variables in order to balance the balance sheet? (State answer omitting the last 000,000's consistent with proforma.)
a. Cash & Marketable Securities = $ - 0
b. Notes Payable Bank = $ - 0
15. Suppose MLHR doubled the amount of time to pay trade creditors. Use the proforma sheet to indicate the impact on the financial
statements. (Note: Reset the plug variables and double Days in Payables)
What are the new values for these plug variables in order to balance the balance sheet?
(State answer omitting the last 000,000's consistent with proforma.)
a. Cash & Marketable Securities = $ - 0
b. Notes Payable Bank = $ - 0
16. Suppose MLHR Days in Payables is at its original level from the prior year. Use the proforma sheet to indicate the impact on the financial
statements assuming Days Sales Outstanding and Days in Inventory both double, causing the operating cycle to double in length.
What are the new values for these plug variables in order to balance the balance sheet?
(State answer omitting the last 000,000's consistent with proforma.)
a. Cash & Marketable Securities = $ - 0
b. Notes Payable Bank = $ - 0
17. Using the same parameters as in question 16, what is the proforma Net Income (Loss) (omitting 000,000's)?
a. Proforma Net Income = $ - 0
18. Suppose all parameter estimates are based on last years results, except Sales is expected to grow at 25%.
What would be the impact on the plugs and Net Income? (Note adjust plugs before assessing the impact on NI, omit 000,000's)
a. Cash & Marketable Securities = $ - 0
b. Notes Payable Bank = $ - 0
c. Proforma Net Income = $ - 0
19. Assuming MLHR is expecting a 25% increase in Sales and they have the plant capacity, what should they do now to prepare for
this?
Discussion Question
20. Summarize your advise to management of MLHR based on inferences gained from this common size analysis.

* Depretiation & Amortization Expenses are included in the total Selling, General and Administration Expense. In order to calculate Cash Flow
you will need to look for the amount of Depreciation & Amortization Expense by clicking on the Notes to Financial Statements section on Edgar.com.
Under the notes section you will click on Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information to obtain the Depreciation & Amortization Expenses.
You will then need to reduce the amount of total Selling, General & Administration Expenses in Cell J9 above to reflect the amount of
Depretiation & Amortization Expenses broken out. (See the formula in Cell H9 for example.)
