Addition to retained earnings = forecast sales*profit margin*retention ratio = 2,000*8%*50% = 80

	Current (2016)		Forecast (2017)
Cash	100	Doubles	200
A/C receivable	200	Doubles	400
Inventory	200	Doubles	400
Net fixed assets	500	No change	500
Total assets	1,000		1,500
A/C payable	50	Doubles	100
Notes payable	150		150
Accruals	50	Doubles	100
L-T debt	400	No change	400
Common stock	100	No change	100
Retained earnings	250	Addition of 80	330
Total liabilities & equity	1,000		1,180

Additional Funds Needed (AFN) = Total assets - Total liabilities & equity = 1,500 - 1,180 = 320
