Step by step solution

Change in sales

$\begin{array}{rcl} Change in sales & = & Existing sales 脳 Growth ratio \\ = & $ 100 million 脳 15 % \\ = & $ 15 million \end{array}$

Assets to sales ratio

$\begin{array}{rcl} Assets to sales ratio & = & Cash + Accounts receivables + Inventory + Net fixed assets \\ = & 5 % + 15 % + 20 % + 40 % \\ = & 80 % \end{array}$

Liabilities to sales ratio

$\begin{array}{rcl} Liabilities to sales ratio & = & Accounts payable + Accruals \\ = & 15 % + 10 % \\ = & 25 % \end{array}$

New sales level

$\begin{array}{rcl} New sales level & = & Existing sales + Increase in sales \\ = & $ 100 million + $ 15 million \\ = & $ 115 million \end{array}$

Required new funds

$\begin{array}{rcl} Required new funds & = & (Assets to sales ratio 脳 Change in sales) - (Liabilities to sales ratio 脳 Chnage in sales) - (Profit margin 脳 New sales level) (1 - Dividend payout ratio) \\ = & (0.80 脳 $ 15 million) - (0.25 脳 $ 15 million) - (0.10 脳 $ 115 million) (1 - 0.50) \\ = & $ 12 million - $ 3.75 million - $ 6.75 million \\ = & $ 2.50 million \end{array}$
