AFN equation

Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 25% from $7.2 million in 2019 to $9.00 million in 2020. Its assets totaled $5 million at the end of 2019. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2019, 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 55%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year in $

We would like to build an Excel model addressing the following situation:

Kristy will open an investment account on September 1, 2020 at a bank. She plans on saving and depositing $300 into the account at the end of each month with first deposit on September 30, 2020. The account will earn 6 percent interest compounded monthly (i.e. she earns 6%/12=0.5% interest on deposits with the bank on any given month). Kristy is curious about how much would accumulate in her investment account after 20 years.

To help her with her financial planning you will prepare three graphs using the data table feature in Microsoft Excel:

1. A graph showing how much would accumulate in the bank account after 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 (actual), or 30 years. Label the x-axis as time and y-axis of the graph as dollar amount accumulated in the bank account.
2. A graph showing how much would accumulate in the bank account if annual interest rate were 4%, 6% (the actual), 8%, 10%, and 12% hypothetically. Label the x-axis of the graph as the interest rate and the y-axis as dollar amount accumulated in the bank account.
3. A graph showing how much would accumulate in the bank account if deposits were to be $100, $200, $300 (actual), or $500 hypothetically.  Label the x-axis of the graph as the monthly deposit amount and the y-axis as dollar amount accumulated in the bank account.  

Simnet Solutions Inc. manufactures and sells cell phones. For the 2020 business plan, the company estimated the following:

Selling Price per Unit   $750
Variable Cost per Unit   $450
Annual Fixed Cost   $180,000
Net Income After Tax   $360,000
Tax Rate   25%
The January financial statements reported that sales were not meeting expectations. For the first 3 months of the year, only 400 units had been sold at the established price. With variable cost staying as planned, it was clear that 2020 after tax projection would not be reached unless some action was taken. A management committee presented the following mutually exclusive alternatives to the president.
Reduce the selling price by $60. The sales team forecast that with a significantly reduced selling price 3,000 units can be sold in the remainder of the year. Total fixed and variable unit cost will stay as budgeted.
Lower variable cost per unit by $20 through the use of less expensive direct materials. The selling price will also be reduced by $40, and sales of 2,800 units are expected for the remainder of the year.
Cut fixed costs by $20,000 and lower the selling price by 5%. Variable cost per unit will be unchanged and sales of 2,500 units are expected for the remainder of the year.
