3. Austin & Company has a debt ratio of 0.5, a total assets turnover ratio of 0.25, and a profit margin of 10 percent. The Board of Directors is unhappy with the current return on equity (ROE), and they think it could be doubled.

4. Brown & Sons recently reported sales of $100 million, and net income equal to $5 million. The company has $70 million in total assets. Over the next year, the company is forecasting a 20 percent increase in sales. Since the company is at full capacity, its assets must increase in proportion to sales. The company also estimates that if sales increase 20 percent, spontaneous liabilities will increase by $2 million. If the company's sales increase, its profit margin will remain at its current level. The company's dividend payout ratio is 40 percent. Based on the AFN formula, how much additional capital must the company raise in order to support the 20 percent increase in sales?
a. $ 2,000,000 b. $ 6,000,000 c. $ 8,400,000 d. $ 9,600,000 e. $14,000,000

Retained earnings 20
Total liabilities
Total assets $240 and equity $240

Sales for the year just ended were $400, and fixed assets were used at 80 percent of capacity, but its current assets were at optimal levels.

a. $4.6 b. -$6.4 (Surplus) c. $2.4 d. -$4.6 (Surplus) e. $0.8

Total current liabilities $2.3
Long-term debt 1.2
Common equity 1.5
Retained earnings 2.0

Total liabilities
Total assets $7.0 and equity $7.0
