All assets except fixed assets must increase at the same rate as sales, and fixed assets would also have to increase at the same rate if the current excess capacity did not exist. Booth's after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 3% and its payout ratio to be 55%. What is Booth's additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
