B. Generally assets will increase proportionate to sales.
C. Total assets must be equal to total liabilities plus total owners equity.
D. Both A and C.
e. All of the above.
Answer : e. All of the above
Explanation :
EFN =
(A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - [PM x FS x (1-d)]
Where,
A/S = Asset to sales
∆ Sales = Change in sales
L/S = Liablity to sales
PM: Profit Margin on Sales
FS: Forecasted Sales
d: dividend payout percent
(1 - d): Percent of earnings retained after paying out dividends
As you can see from above formula it is clear that retention ratio is needed and that is calculated by using incime statement. And Asset & liablity are proportional to sales. And also Total asset should be equal to total liablity plus owner equity to find EFN.
