Answer: Projected total assets = $10,318
Projected retained earnings = $4,675.30
Additional new debt required = $537.70
Explanation:
external financing needed ( EFN )= [(total assets/total sales) x ( sales )] - [(total current liabilities/total sales) x ( sales )] - [profit margin x forecasted sales in $ x (1 - dividend payout ratio)]
total assets = $9,380,
projected total assets = $9,380 x 1.1 = $10,318
total sales = $7,800
sales = $780
current liabilities = $1,550
profit margin = net income / sales
= $410 / $7,800
= 0.052564
forecasted sales = $7,800 x 1.1 = $8,580
dividends payout ratio = dividends / net income
= $187 / $410
= 0.4561
Therefore:
EFN = [($9,380/$7,800) x ($780)] - [($1,550/$7,800) x ($780)] - [0.052564 x $8,580 x (1 - 0.4561)]
EFN = $938 - $155 - $245.30
EFN = $537.70
projected retained earnings = current retained earnings - projected net income - projected dividends
= $4,430 + $451 - $205.70
= $4,675.30
