EFN Define the following:

S     = Previous year’s sales

A    = Total assets

D    = Total debt

E    = Total equity

g    = Projected growth in sales

PM   = Profit margin

b    = Retention (plowback) ratio

Show that EFN can be written as:

EFN = ‒PM(S)b + [A ‒ PM(S)b] × g

Hint: Asset needs will equal A × g. The addition to retained earnings will equal PM(S)b × (1 + g).
