Question
ICU has current assets of $800,000 and net fixed assets of $1,400,000. The firm expects its sales to climb 25% next year from its current level of $3,500,000. ICU's only current liability is accounts payable of $1,200,000. If both current assets and current liabilities will increase proportionately with sales, what additional financing will be needed by ICU next year? Assume ICU has a net profit margin of 6%. An increase in net fixed assets of $500,000 will be required. The firm pay out 50% of its earnings as dividends.Explanation / Answer
