Assets and costs are proportional to sales. Debt and equity are not. A dividend of $1,700 was paid, and the company wishes to maintain a constant payout ratio. Next year’s sales are projected to be $35,625. |
What is the external financing needed? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) |
Growth rate in sales=(35625-28500)/28500=25%
Dividend payout ratio=Dividend/Net income
=(1700/5520)=0.307971014
Sales | 35625 |
Costs(19300*1.25) | 24125 |
Taxable income | $11500 |
Taxes@40%($11500*40%) | $4600 |
Net income | $6900 |
Less:Dividends(6900*0.307971014) | $2125 |
Addition to retained earnings | $4775 |
Total assets would be=$60200*1.25=$75250
Total equity would be=$34600+Addition to retained earnings
=$34600+$4775=$39375
Total assets=Total equity +Total liabilities
Hence external financing needed=$75250-$39375-$25600
=$10275.
