1. Problem #5, p. 109
Cyber security Systems had sales of 3,000 units at $50 per unit last year. The marketing manager projects a 20 percent increase in unit volune sales this year with a 10 percent price increase. Returned merchandise will represent 6 percent of total sales. What is your dollar sales projection for this year.
Net Sales in Unit
= Original Quantity*(1+Percent Increase)*(1-Percent Return)
= 3000*(1+20%)*(1-6%)
= 3384
Net Sales in Dollar = 3384*(50*110%) = 186,120

Dividend Payout ratio = 6000/20000 = .30 or 30%
Increase in Sales = 200000*20% = 40000
Increase in Retained Earning = 240000*10%*(1-.30) = $16800
Required Increase Increase in Asset = (120000/200000)*40000 = 24000
Required Increase in Liabilities = (28000/2000000)*40000 = 5600
Net Increase in Asset = 24000-5600 = 18400
Net Financing Required = 18400-16800= $1,600
