Sales for last year were $100 million, and the balance sheet at year-end is similar in percentage of sales to that of previous years (and this will continue in the future). All assets (including fixed assets) and current liabilities will vary directly with sales. The firm is working at full capacity. |

If sales grow by 20 percent next year, determine how many dollars of new funds are needed to finance the growth. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions, (e.g., $1,234,567).) New FUNDS would be _________??? |
New FUNDS would be | $ 61,00,000 | |||||||
Working: | ||||||||
a. | Increased Sales | = | $ 10,00,00,000 | x 1.20 | = | $ 12,00,00,000 | ||
After tax profit margin | = | $ 12,00,00,000 | x 7% | = | $ 84,00,000 | |||
Retained Income | = | $ 84,00,000 | x (1-0.25) | = | $ 63,00,000 | |||
b. | Increase in Assets | = | $ 9,30,00,000 | x 20% | = | $ 1,86,00,000 | ||
c. | Increase in current liabilities | = | $ 3,10,00,000 | x 20% | = | $ 62,00,000 | ||
d. | External Finance needed | = | Increase in Assets - Increase in current liabilities -Retained Income | |||||
= | $ 1,86,00,000 | - | $ 62,00,000 | - | $ 63,00,000 | |||
= | $ 61,00,000 | |||||||
Thus, | ||||||||
Dollars of new funds are needed to finance the growth | $ 61,00,000 | |||||||
