Explanation:
external financing needed = EFN = [(total assets/total sales) x ($ Δ sales)] - [(total current liabilities/total sales) x ($ Δ sales)] - [profit margin x forecasted sales in $ x (1 - dividend payout ratio)]
total assets = $48,900
total sales = $42,700
$ Δ sales = $5,978
current liabilities = $3,650
profit margin = net income / sales = 0.129
forecasted sales = $48,678
dividends payout ratio = dividends / net income = 0.35
EFN = [($48,900/$42,700) x ($5,978)] - [($3,650/$42,700) x ($5,978)] - [0.129 x $48,678 x (1 - 0.35)]
EFN = $6,846 - $511 - $4,081.65 = $2,253.35
