Question
The most recent financial statements for GPS, Inc., are shown here:
Assets and costs are proportional to sales. Debt and equity are not. A dividend of $1649 was paid, and the company wishes to maintain a constant payout ratio. Next year’s sales are projected to be $26534.
What is the external financing needed? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
(Omit the "$" sign and commas in your response. Enter your answer rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, $1,200.456 should be entered as 1200.46.)
Income Statement Sales $22640 Costs $10389 Taxable Income ? Taxes (40%) ? Net Income ?Explanation / Answer
Current net income=(22640-10389)(1-0.4)=$7350.6
Dividend payout ratio=Dividend/Net income
=(1649/7350.6)=0.224335428
Growth rate in sales=(26534-22640)/22640=0.171996466
Total assets would be=$59616*1.171996466=$69869.74132
Total assets=Total liabilities+Total equity
Total equity at beginning=(59616-15043)=$44573
Total equity at end=Total equity at beginning+Addition to retained earnings
=$44573+$6682.255056
=$51255.25506
Total assets=Total debt+Total equity
Hence external financing needed=($69869.74132-$51255.25506-$15043)
=$3571.49(Approx).
