Booth's fixed assets were used to only 50.00% of capacity during 2013, but its current assets were at their proper levels in relation to sales. All assets except fixed assets must increase at the same rate as sales, and fixed assets would also have to increase at the same rate if the current excess capacity did not exist. Booth's after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 5.00% and its payout ratio to be 60.00%. What is Booth's additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year?
