Answer 1

Answer:

$17,200

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much external financing will Tobin Supplies Company have to seek

Net Income=[$520,000 x 20%]

Net Income = $104,000

Dividend Pay-out= [$104,000 x 30%]

Dividend Pay-out = $31,200

Additions to Retained Earnings = [$104,00 - $31,200]

Additions to Retained Earnings=$72,800

Now let determine the The External Financing Needed using this formula

The External Financing Needed = Increase in Assets – Additions to retained earnings

Let plug in the formula

The External Financing Needed= $90,000 - $72,800

The External Financing Needed= $17,200

Therefore The External Financing Needed is $17,200
