Based on the AFN equation, the AFN for the coming year will be -$16000.
How to calculate the AFN?
Last year's sales =$200,000
Sales growth rate = g = 40%
Forecasted sales = S0 × (1 + ) = 280,000
∆S = change in sales = S1 − S0 = $80,000
Last year's total assets = A*0 = A*0 since full capacity $135,000
Forecasted total assets = A*1 = A*0 × (1 + g) = $189,000
Last year's accounts payable = $50,000
Last year's accruals= $20,000
L*0 = payables + accruals = $70,000
Profit margin = M = 20.0%
Target payout ratio = 25.0%
Retention ratio = (1 − Payout) = 75.0%
AFN = (A*0/S0)ΔS – (L*0/S0)ΔS – Margin × S1 × (1 − Payout)
AFN = $54,000 – $28,000 – $42,000
= -$16,000
