AFN equation
Carter Corporation's sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2012 to $6 million in 2013, or by 20%. Its assets totalled $3 million at the end of 2012. Carter is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2012, current liabilities are $1 million, consisting of $250,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $250,000 of accrued liabilities. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 6%.
