Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Below figures are obtained from the given Income Statement:

1. Earning Before Interest and Tax = Sales - (Cost + Other expenses) = $52566

2. Taxable Income = EBIT - Interest = $38436

3. Taxes = Taxable Income * 30% = $11530.80

4. Net Income = Taxable Income - Taxes = $26905.20

Below figures are obtained from given Balance Sheet:

1. Reatined Earnings = (23278 + 36470 + 70177 + 410094) - (55353 + 19240 + 116785 + 122005) =$226636

Next year projected Income Statement: (In $)

Projected Balance Sheet:

External Financing needed to fund the growth in sales = $77546.56

2. Accounts Receivable = 36470 * 1.16 = $42305.20

3. Inventory = 70177 * 1.16 = $81405.32

4. Fixed Assets = 410094 * 1.16 = $475709

5. Accounts Payable = 55353 * 1.16 = $64209.48

6. Retained Earnings = 226636 - 5707 = $220929
