(a) The sales this year = 15.3 Million
Sales next year = 20.1 Million
The % increase in sales = (20.1-15.3)/15.3 = 31.37%
The calculation of total financing needs (Total assets) is as shown below:
(a) Total financing needs (Total assets) = $1,190,100
(b) Net Income = 5.1% of 20.1 Million = 0.051*20,100,000 =1,025,100
Dividends = 536,000
Addition to retained earnings = 1,025,000 - 536,000 = 489,000
(b) Discretionary financing = 1,204,056.86
(c) Based on the projections , the sales has to actually decrease by 8.50% to 14 Million so that there is no sources of discretionary financing
Answer = Sales reduce by 8.50% or (-8.50%)
Assets Current assets 6700000 Fixed Assets 5201000 Total assets 11901000
