Wagner Industrial Motors, which is currently operating at full capacity, has sales of $29,000, current assets of $1,600, current liabilities of $1,200, net fixed assets of $27,500, and a 5 percent profit margin. The firm has no long-term debt and does not plan on acquiring any. The firm does not pay any dividends. Sales are expected to increase by 4.5 percent next year. If all assets, short-term liabilities, and costs vary directly with sales, how much additional equity financing is required for next year?
Projected assets = ($1,600 + $27,500) × 1.045 = $30,409.50 Projected liabilities = $1,200 × 1.045 = $1,254 Current equity = $1,600 + $27,500 - $1,200 = $27,900 Projected increase in retained earnings = $29,000 × .05 × 1.045 = $1,515.25 Equity funding need = $30,409.50 - $1,254 - $27,900 - $1,515.25 = -$259.75
