Cash	$ 100.00	x 2	$ 200.00
Accounts receivable	$ 200.00	´ 2	$ 400.00
Inventories	$ 200.00	´ 2	$ 400.00
Net fixed assets	$ 500.00	0	$ 500.00
Total assets	$ 1,000.00			$1,500.00

Accounts payable	$ 50.00	´ 2	$ 100.00
Notes payable	$ 150.00	150.00 + 360.00	$ 510.00
Accruals	$ 50.00	´ 2 =	$ 100.00
Long-term debt	$ 400.00		$ 400.00
Common stock	$ 100.00		$ 100.00
Retained earnings	$ 250.00	40	$ 290.00
Total liabilities and equity	$ 1,000.00			$ 1,500.00

AFN				$360.00

Capacity sales = Sales/0.5 = $1,000/0.5 = $2,000.

Target FA/S ratio = $500/$2,000 = 0.25.

Target FA = 0.25($2,000) = $500 = Required FA. Since the firm currently has $500 of fixed assets, no new fixed assets will be required.

Addition to RE = M(S₁)(1 - Payout ratio) = 0.05($2,000)(0.4) = $40.
