Jordan is expecting a 20 percent increase in sales next year, and management is concerned about the company's need for external funds. The increase in sales is expected to be carried out without any expansion of fixed assets, but rather through more efficient asset utilization in the existing stores. Among liabilities, only current liabilities vary directly with sales.
Using the percent-of-sales method, determine whether Jordan Aluminum has external financing needs. (Hint: A profit margin and payout ratio must be found from the income statement.)
