Problems: 1, 4, 8 and 10

a. In percentage of sales method we first calculate the percentage increase in sales. Using this increase we forecast the increase in assets, spontaneous liabilities and retained earnings.
Additional financing = Increase in assets - increase in spontaneous liabilities - retained earnings
The sales increase from 4million to 6 million = $2 million
The percentage increase in sales is 2/4=50%
The increase in total assets is 2,300,000X50%=1,150,000
Increase in spontaneous liabilities = 600,000X50%=300,000
Increase in retained earnings = 400,000-50,000=350,000
Additional financing needed = 1,150,000-300,000-350,000=$500,000
To make the pro-forma balance sheet we calculate the percentage of sales of all assets and spontaneous liability. We apply this percentage to the new level of sales.
For example cash = 200,000/4,000,000=5% of sales
New level of cash =6,000,000X5%=300,000
We make the pro-forma balance sheet
