How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in


At year-end 2011, total assets for Ambrose Inc. were $1.9 million and accounts payable were $340,000. Sales, which in 2011 were $2.5 million, are expected to increase by 20% in 2012. 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. Ambrose typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $415,000 in 2011, and retained earnings were $245,000. Ambrose plans to sell new common stock in the amount of $140,000. The firm's profit margin on sales is 6%; 50% of earnings will be retained.
