Question

Carter Corporation's sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2012 to $6 million in 2015, or by 20%. Its assets totaled $3 million at the end of 2014. Carter is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2014, current liabilities are $1 million, consisting of $250,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $250,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 3%, and the forecasted retention ratio is 30%. Use the AFN equation to forecast the additional funds Carter will need for the coming year. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Explanation / Answer

Additional fund needed = $3,000,000 * 20% - $1,000,000 * 20% - $6,000,000 * 3% * 30%

= $346,000
