Next year
Sales = 3800 * (1+30%)
= 4940
costs = 2400 * (1+30%)
= 3120
taxable income = 4940 - 3120
= 1820
taxes (35%) = 1820 * 0.35
= 637
Net income = 1820 - 637
= 1183
current assets = 5200 * (1+30%)
= 6760
fixed assets = 5700 * (1+30%)
= 7410
total assets = 6760 + 7410
= 14170
current liabilities = 790 * (1+30%)
= 1027
long term debt = 3510
addition to retained earnings = 0.4 * 1183
= 473.2
equity = 6600 + 473.2 = 7073.2
total = 1027 + 3510 + 7073.2
= 11610.2
external financing needed = 14170 - 11610.2
= 2559.8
