INCOME STATEMENT, 2019

EBIT       $ 130,000  
Interest expense         26,000  
Taxable income       $ 104,000  
Taxes (at 21%)         21,840  
Net income       $ 82,160  
Dividends $ 41,080        
Addition to retained earnings $ 41,080        
 

  

BALANCE SHEET, YEAR-END, 2019  
Assets         Liabilities      
Current assets         Current liabilities      
Cash $ 5,000     Accounts payable $ 12,000  
Accounts receivable   10,000     Total current liabilities $ 12,000  
Inventories   35,000     Long-term debt   260,000  
Total current assets $ 50,000     Stockholders’ equity

Sales and costs are projected to grow at 30% a year for at least the next 4 years. Both current assets and accounts payable are projected to rise in proportion to sales. The firm is currently operating at 75% capacity, so it plans to increase fixed assets in proportion to sales. Interest expense will equal 10% of long-term debt outstanding at the start of the year. The firm will maintain a dividend payout ratio of 0.50.

 

What is the required external financing over the next year? (Enter excess cash as a negative number with a minus sign.)
