Expert Solution

Solution:
	Additional equity financing is required is -$833.63

Working Notes:
	Additional equity financing is required
	'=Increase in assets - increase in current liabilities - profit x (1- payout ratio)


	Increase in assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) x increase %
	Increase in assets = (1600 + 27500) x 11.9%
	Increase in assets =$3,462.90

	Increase in current liabilities
	=Current liabilities x increase %
	=1200 x 11.9%
	=$142.80

	Profit = Sales x (1+ increase%) x Profit margin
	Profit = 29,000 x (1+ 11.9%) x 12.8%
	Profit = $4,153.728

	Additional equity financing is required
	'=Increase in assets - increase in current liabilities - profit x (1- payout ratio)

	'=$3,462.90 - $142.80 - $4,153.728 x (1- 0%)
	'=$3,462.90 - $142.80 - $4,153.728
	'=-833.628
	'= -$833.63
