How much additional capital must the company raise in order


Brown and Sons recently reported sales of $100 million, and net income equal to $5 million. The company has $70 million in total assets. Over the next year, the company is forecasting a 20 percent increase in sales. Since the company is at full capacity, its assets must increase in proportion to sales. The company also estimates that if sales increase 20 percent, spontaneous liabilities will increase by $2 million. If the company's sales increase, its profit margin will remain at its current level. The company's dividend payout ratio is 40 percent. Based on the AFN formula, how much additional capital must the company raise in order to support the 20 percent increase in sales? CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME IN DETAIL ALL THE MATHEMATICAL OPERATIONS REGARDING FUNDS OBTAINED AS NEW RETAINED EARNINGS? WHY IS THAT PART EQUAL TO 120×5%(1-40%). WHERE DO WE FIND THE 5 % AND WHERE DO WE FIND THE 120 MIL?
