Looking ahead to $2022,$ the company estimates that its assets must increase by $$0\mathrm{.}60$ for every $$1\mathrm{.}00$ increase in sales. Paladin's profit margin is $4\%,$ and its retention ratio is $40\%.$ How large of a sales increase can the company achieve without having to raise funds externally? Write out your answer completely. For example, $25$ million should be entered as $25,000,000.$ Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
