Assets and costs are proportional to sales. Debt and equity are not. A dividend of $970 was paid, and Martin wishes to maintain a constant payout ratio. Next year’s sales are projected to be $19,680. What is the external financing needed? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Growth rate in sales=(19680-16000)/16000
=23%
Dividend payout ratio=Dividend payout/Net income
=970/5056
=0.191851266
Sales | 19680 |
Costs(9600*1.23) | 11808 |
Taxable income | 7872 |
Taxes(7872*21%) | 1653.12 |
Net income | 6218.88 |
Less:Dividends(6218.88*0.191851266) | 1193.1 |
Addition to retained earnings | 5025.78 |
Total assets would be=44800*1.23=$55104
Total equity would be=22800+Addition to retained earnings
=22800+5025.78=$27825.78
Total assets=Total liabilities+Total equity
Hence external financing needed=55104-(27825.78+22000)
=$5278.22
