1. Suppose 2019 sales are projected to increase by 25% over 2018 sales. Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast a balance sheet and income statement for December 31, 2019. The interest rate on all debt is 12%, and cash earns no interest income. Assume that all additional debt in the form of a line of credit is added at the end of the year, which means that you should base the forecasted interest expense on the balance of debt at the beginning of the year. Use the forecasted income statement to determine the addition to retained earnings. Assume that the company was operating at full capacity in 2018, that it cannot sell off any of its fixed assets, and that any required financing will be borrowed as notes payable. Also, assume that assets, spontaneous liabilities, and operating costs are expected to increase by the same percentage as sales. Determine the additional funds needed. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Total assets: $ AFN: $
3. What is the resulting total forecasted amount of the line of credit? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $
