2. The AFN equation Aa Aa Cold Duck Manufacturing Inc. has the following end-of-year balance sheet Cold Duck Manufacturing Inc. Balance Sheet For the Year Ended on December 31 Assets Liabilities Current Assets Current Liabilities: 150,000 Accounts payable 400,000 Accrued liabilities 350,000 Notes payable 900,000 Total Current Liabilities $250,000 150,000 100,000 $500,000 1,000,000 $1,500,000 Cash and equivalents Accounts receivable Inventories Total Current Assets Net Fixed Assets: Long-Term Bonds Net plant and equipment (cost minus depreciation) $2,100,000 Total Debt Common Equity 800,000 700,000 $1,500,000 $3,000,000 Common stock Retained earnings Total Common Equity Total Liabilities and Equity Total Assets $3,000,000 The firm is currently in the process of forecasting sales, asset requirements, and required funding for the coming year. In the year that just ended, Cold Duck Manufacturing Inc. generated $500,000 net income on sales of $13,000,000. The firm expects sales to increase by 16% this coming year and also expects to maintain its long-run dividend payout ratio of 40% Suppose Cold Duck Manufacturing Inc.'s assets are fully utilized. Use the additional funds needed (AFN) equation to determine the increase in total assets that is necessary to support Cold Duck Manufacturing Inc.'s expected sales. $456,000 O $528,000 O $480,000 $552,000 When a firm grows, some liabilities grow spontaneously along with sales. Spontaneous liabilities are a source of capital that the firm will generate internally, so they reduce the need for external capital. How much of the total increase in assets will be supplied by spontaneous liabilities for Cold Duck Manufacturing Inc. this year? O $76,800 O $64,000 O $51,200 O $60,800 In addition, Cold Duck Manufacturing Inc. is expected to generate net income this year. The firm will pay out some of its earnings as dividends but will retain the rest for future asset investment. Again, the more a firm generates internally from its operations, the less it will have to raise externally from the capital markets. Assume that the firm's profit margin and dividend payout ratio are expected to remain constant
