Assume the profit margin is projected to increase to 9 percent while the dividend payout ratio remains constant. If sales increase by 12 percent, what is the projected total retained earnings (hint: add the additional RE onto the current RE) ? Currently, the firm's sales = $4,700, net income is $420, total assets=7890, dividends=125, A/P = 790, LTD = 3130, and common stock=2780, and retained earnings = 1190.

    The projected retained earnings are $1538.76

    Explanation:

    Profit margin=net income/sales

    profit margin is 9%

    sales growth rate is 12%

    9%=net income / ($4,700 * (1+12%))

    9%=net income/5264

    9%*5264=net income

    net income=$473.76

    Projected total retained earnings=$1190+$473.76-$125=$1538.76
