      Cash                      10       Accounts payable          $ 15
Accounts receivable    25       Notes payable                   20
      Inventory               40       Accrued wages and taxes 15
      Net fixed assets    75       Long-term debt                   30

                                                     Total liabilities
       Total assets       $150          and equity                  $150
 
Sales during the past year were $100, and they are expected to rise by 50 percent to $150 during next year.  Also, during last year fixed assets were being utilized to only 85 percent of capacity (excess capacity).  Assume that profit margin will remain constant at 5 percent and that the company will continue to pay out 60 percent of its earnings as dividends. To the nearest whole dollar, what amount of nonspontaneous, additional funds will be needed during the next year (use percentage sales based proforma method)?
