Question

Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 25% from $8.8 million in 2016 to $11.00 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $6 million at the end of 2016. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 3%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 70%. What would be the additional funds needed? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $

Explanation / Answer

Sales Expected : $ 11.00 Million

After- Tax profit Margin: 330,000

Dividend Payments: $231,000

Addition to R.E.: $99,000

Increase in Assets:$1,500,000

Increase in Liabilities:$135,000

AFN= Increase in Assets-Increase in Liabilities - Addition in R.E

= $1,500,000 - $135000 - $99000

= $1,266,000
