Additional funds needed


Problem: A firm has the following balance sheet:

Cash $ 20                           Accounts payable $ 20
Accounts receivable 20        Notes payable 40
Inventory 20                       Long-term debt 80
Fixed assets 180                  Common stock 80
                                          Retained earnings 20
Total assets $240                 Total liabilities & Equity $240

Sales for the year just ended were $400, and fixed assets were used at 80 percent of capacity. Current assets and accounts payable vary directly with sales. Sales are expected to grow by 5 percent next year, the expected net profit margin is 5 percent, and the dividend payout ratio is 60 percent.

How much additional funds (AFN) will be needed next year, if any?
