ABC Bottling's December 31st balance sheet is given below:

Cash

$ 15

Accounts payable

$ 30

Accounts receivable

25

Notes payable

20

Inventory

50

Accrued wages and taxes

15

Net fixed assets

80

Long-term debt

30

Common equity

75

Total liabilities

Total assets $170 and equity $170

Sales during the past year were $400, and they are expected to rise by 50 percent to

$600 during next year. Also, during last year fixed assets were being utilized to only 70 percent of capacity, so ABC could have supported $400 of sales with fixed assets that were only 70 percent of last year's actual fixed assets. Assume that ABC's profit margin will remain constant at 7.0 percent and that the company will continue to pay out 40 percent of its earnings as dividends. To the nearest whole dollar, what amount of non-spontaneous, additional funds (AFN) will be needed during the next year (use pro-forma method)?

Additional Funds Needed ?
