Question

AFN equation Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 15% from $8.0 million in 2016 to $9.20 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $5 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 6%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 70%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Do not round intermediate calculations. 5mil/8.0mil)1.2-(950k/8.0)1.2-(.06*9.2)(1-.3) 750,000-142500-(I am doing this portion wrong, but not sure why) Please help.

Explanation / Answer

Sales 2017= $9.2million
After tax profit margin (9,200,000 * 6%) = $552,000
Dividend payments ($552,000 *70%) = $386400
Addition retained earnings ($552,000-$386400) = $165600

Assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales

Increase in assets = $5,000,000 * 15% = $750,000
Increase in liabilities = ($450,000+$450,000)*15% = $135,000

AFN = Increase in assets – increase in liabilities – addition to retained earnings = $750,000 - $135,000 - $165600
=$449400
