Explanation / Answer

External Funds Needed = (A0/S0*(S1-S0)) - (L0/S0*(S1-S0)) - (PM*S1*b)

where

Ao - Assets (at time 0) which vary directly with Sales = 548320

Lo - Liabilities (at time 0) which vary directly with Sales=56400

So - Current Sales =763000

S1 - Projected Sales = 763000*1.2 = 915600

b - Retention ratio = Addition to retained earnings/Net income = 66640/88400

PM - Profit Margin = Net income/Sales = 88400/763000

External Funds Needed = (548320/763000*(915600-763000)) - (56400/763000*(915600-763000)) - (88400/763000*915600*66640/88400)

= 109664-11280-79968

= 18416
