Accounting

The Booth Company's sales are forecasted to double from $1,000 in 2010 to $2,000 in 2011. Here is the December 31, 2010, balance sheet:

Cash $ 100 Accounts payable $ 50 Accounts receivable 200 Notes payable 150 Inventories 200 Accruals 50 Net fixed assets 500 Long-term debt 400 Common stock 100

Retained earnings 250

Total assets $1000 Total liabilities

and equity $1000

Booth's fixed assets were used to only 50% of capacity during 2010, but its current assets were at their proper levels in relation to sales. All assets except fixed assets must increase at the same rate as sales, and fixed assets would also have to increase at the same rate if the current excess capacity did not exist. Booth's after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 5% and its payout ratio to be 60%. What is Booth's additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year?

PLEASE NOTE: The answer is $360. I need to know how to get here. I have been working this question for about 2 hours now andf am missing something.
