The management team at Taylor, Inc. is working on the companys 2019 pro-forma balance sheet and income statement, and wishes to find out the amount of additional external funds it will need in 2019, based on the following assumptions:

- Sales are expected to double in 2019.

- The company is operating at full capacity.

- All operating assets (cash included) and spontaneous liabilities are expected to remain at their same proportion of sales as in 2018. Misc. assets (which are non-operating assets) will remain unchanged at $7,500.

- Cost of Goods Sold and Operating Expenses are also expected to remain equal in proportion of sales.

- Management expects Interest rates to fall in 2019 so that interest expenses will remain constant as a percentage of sales, even if the level of bank debt increases in 2019. In addition, assume that interest rates are the same for short-term and long- term debt.

- The companys tax rate is 40% and the firm does not pay dividends.

1. What are the Additional Funds Needed (AFN) for the year 2019, using both the AFN formula and a pro-forma balance sheet using the pct. of sales method? Both methods should give you the same result.
