1. Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 25% from $7.4 million in 2016 to $9.25 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $5 million at the end of 2016. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 3%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 70%. What would be the additional funds needed? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

2. Assume that an otherwise identical firm had $6 million in total assets at the end of 2016. The identical firm's capital intensity ratio (A₀*/S₀) is (a)(higher than, lower than, or equal to) than Broussard's; therefore, the identical firm is (b)(less, more, the same) capital intensive - it would require (c)(a smaller, a larger, or the same) increase in total assets to support the increase in sales.

Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 15% from $8.4 million in 2016 to $9.66 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $3 million at the end of 2016. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 3%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 75%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Use the following information regarding your retirement planning:

• You plan to work (and save) for 35 years, then retire (and spend money from your retirement account) for 25 years. After these 60 years, you expect that your retirement saving account will have $50,000 left to give to your family.
• You plan to save $4,000 in year 1, and you will increase this amount by 3% a year
• You want your retirement spending to increase by 2% per year
• You expect to earn a rate of return of 8% during your working years and 4.50% during retirement

To solve this problem, find the amount that you spend your first year of retirement.
