Explanation / Answer

1. Increase in Retained Earnings in Next Year

Increase in Retained Earnings = (Sales - Costs) * (1 + Growth Rate) * (1 - tax) * (1 - Dividends)

Increase in Retained Earnings = (9500 - 6700) * (1 + 0.18) * (1 - 0.24) * (1 - 0.35)

Increase in Retained Earnings = $1632.18

2. Computation of External Finance Needed

EFN = Increase in Total Assets - Increase in Current Liabilities - Retained Earnings Increase

EFN = 13600 * 18% - 2700 * 18% - 1632.18

EFN = $2448 - 486 - 1632.18

EFN = $329.82
