Question

eBook Carlsbad Corporation's sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2019 to $6 million in 2020, or by 20%. Its assets totaled $2 million at the end of 2019.

At the end of 2019, current liabilities are $1 million, consisting of $250,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $250,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 3%. Assume that the company pays no dividends. Use the AFN equation to forecast the additional funds Carlsbad will need for the coming year.
