Long-term financing needed

At year-end 2012, total assets for Ambrose Inc. were $1.8 million and accounts payable were $305,000. Sales, which in 2012 were $2.7 million, are expected to increase by 30% in 2013.

Ambrose typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $480,000 in 2012, and retained earnings were $330,000. Ambrose plans to sell new common stock in the amount of $170,000. The firm's profit margin on sales is 3%; 50% of earnings will be retained.
