Answer 1

Calculate requirement of new funds = (89% * 15,000,000) - (28% * 15,000,000)-(6% * 115,000,000)*(1-0.2) = 13,350,000 - 4,200,000-(6,900,000*0.80) = 13,350,000-4,200,000- 5,520,000 = 3,630,000 Growth in sales = 100,000,000*1.15 = 115,000,000 Change in sales = 115,000,000-100,000,000= 15,000,000 % relationship of total assets to sales = Total assets/ Previous year sales = 89,000,000/ 100,000,000 = 89% % relationship of current liabilities to sales - Current liabilities/ Previous year sales = 28,000,000/ 100,000,000 = 28%
