At year-end 2016, total assets for Arrington Inc. were $1.5 million and accounts payable were $305,000....

At year-end 2016, total assets for Arrington Inc. were $1.5 million and accounts payable were $305,000. Sales, which in 2016 were $2.1 million, are expected to increase by 30% in 2017. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained; that is, they will grow at the same rate as sales. Arrington typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $365,000 in 2016, and retained earnings were $320,000. Arrington plans to sell new common stock in the amount of $140,000. The firm's profit margin on sales is 4%; 65% of earnings will be retained.

How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2017? Write out your answer completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. (Hint: AFN - New stock = New long-term debt.)

Hill Industries had sales in 2016 of $6880000 and gross profit of $1205000. Management is considering two alternative budget plans to increase its gross profit in 2017.

Plan A would increase the selling price per unit from $8.00 to $8.40. Sales volume would decrease by 10% from its 2016 level. Plan B would decrease the selling price per unit by $0.50. The marketing department expects that the sales volume would increase by 102000 units.

At the end of 2016, Hill has 41000 units of inventory on hand. If Plan A is accepted, the 2017 ending inventory should be equal to 5% of the 2017 sales. If Plan B is accepted, the ending inventory should be equal to 64000 units. Each unit produced will cost $1.80 in direct labor, $1.40 in direct materials, and $1.20 in variable overhead. The fixed overhead for 2017 should be $1360000.

Sales, Production, Direct Material and Direct Labor budgets needed
