Answer:
1.
- The firm increases its dividend payout ratio.
This will increase the need for external funds because with more funds going towards dividends, there will be less funds available to fund operations. The company will therefore be more probable of being in need of Additional funds.
- The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast.
If the firm's inventory turnover increases, it means that the firm is taking longer to sell off inventory. This will mean that the company will have to invest more in working capital to maintain these inventory levels. This will lead to a higher probability of them needing additional funds.
2. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.
Even though they are paid after-tax, they still eat into the funds that the business can be able to set aside to fund operations. So when dividends are paid, the need for AFN increases as well.

Answer:
-1.33
Explanation:
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good X to changes in price of good Y.
Cross price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / percentage change in price of good Y
Percentage change in quantity demanded = (1700 / 1350) - 1 = 0.2593 = 25.93%
Percentage change in price = (1.65 / 2.05) - 1 = -0.1951 = -19.51%
25.93% / -19.51% = -1.33
