Please explain how to solve the following. Thank you!

1. AFN equation

Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 15% from $8.4 million in 2019 to $9.66 million in 2020. Its assets totaled $4 million at the end of 2019.

Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 6%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 60%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as $1,200,000. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer:

2. Projected Operating Assets

Berman & Jaccor Corporation's current sales and partial balance sheet are shown below.
