Explanation:

Solution

1. Additional Funds Needed = Increase in Assets − Increase in Liabilities – Increase in Retained Earnings, according to xplaind.com.

a) Increase in Assets

= Assets × sales growth rate

= $3,000,000 × 18%

= $540,000

Spontaneous Increase in Liabilities

= Liabilities × sales growth rate

= $400,000 × 18%

= $72,000

Increase in Retained Earnings

= Current sales × profit margin × retention rate

= Current sales × (1 + sales growth rate) × profit margin × retention rate

= $13,000,000 × (1 + 18%) × 3.46% × 60% = $318,458

Additional Funds Needed

= $540,000 - $72,000 - $318,458

= $149,542
