The firm has no long-term debt and does not plan on acquiring any. The firm does not pay any dividends. Sales are expected to increase by 11.9 percent next year.

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
