- Suppose that Barone Corporation's sales are expected to increase from $5 million this year (year 0) to $6 million next year (year 1). Its assets totaled $2,500,000 in year 0. Barone is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of year 0, current liabilities are $800,000, consisting of $200,000 of accounts payable, $400,000 of notes payable, and $200,000 of accrued liabilities. Barone's profit margin is forecasted to be 3.00% and the forecasted retention ratio is 25.00%. Barone seeks to forecast the additional funds needed using the AFN equation. Let A represent Barone's assets and So represent sales in year 0. Let AS represent the change in sales in from year 0 to year 1. According to the video, which of the following best represents the projected increase in assets as part of the AFN equation? -AS + AS × AS × So Using the formula from the video, the projected increase in assets, as part of the AFN equation, isarrow_forwardThe Zocco Corporation has an inventory conversion period of 60 days, an average of collection period of 38 days, and a payable deferral period of 30 days.
