The Minoso Corporation anticipates a 20 percent increase in sales for 2017, 2018, and 2019. Minoso is currently operating at full capacity and thus expects to increase its investment in both current and fixed assets in order to support the increase in forecasted sales. The Minoso Corporations 2016 income and balance sheet statements are given in problem 4.(seen below)

A. Prepare an Excel spreadsheet model that projects the income statement, balance sheet, and state- ment of cash flows for 2017 prior to obtaining any additional financing. Use a separate AFN long- term financing (liability/equity) account to show the amount of financing needed to make the bal- ance sheet balance.

B. Extend your 2017 spreadsheet-based financial statement projections for two additional years (2018 and 2019). What is the total amount of AFN needed over the three-year period?

C. Show how your spreadsheet model projections will change if the AFN from Part B is financed by issuing additional long-term debt at a 10 percent interest rate.
