Answer #1

given for current year

sales = $4100

net income = $640

total assets = $14700

total debt of $10600

So, current year equity = total assets - debt = 14700-10600 = $4100

Next year Sales = $5969

So, increase in sales = (5969-4100)/4100 = 45.59%

So, total asset also increased by same rate,

Next year total assets = 14700*(1.4559) = $21401.05

Similarly net year net income = 640*1.4559 = $931.75

Since company did not paid any dividend, whole of the net income will be added to equity next year.

So, next year equity = 4100 + 931.75 = $5031.75

So, next year debt = next year assets - next year equity = 21401.05 - 5031.75 = $16369.30

So, external finance needed = new debt level - current year debt = 16369.30 - 10600 = $5769.30

So, external finance needed next year is approx $5769

Option A is correct.
