Quantitative Problem 1: Beasley Industries' sales are expected to increase from $4 million in 2019 to $5 million in 2020, or by 25%. Its assets totaled $3 million at the end of 2019. Beasley is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2019, currentliabilities are $760,000, consisting of $170,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $90,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and its dividend payout ratio is 50%. Using the AFN equation, forecast the additional funds Beasley will need for the comingyear. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.$The AFN equation assumes that ratios remain constant. However, firms are not always operating at full capacity so adjustments need to be made to the existing asset forecast. Excess capacity adjustments are changes made to the existing asset forecast because the firm is not operating at fullcapacity. For example, a firm may not be at full capacity with respect to its fixed assets. First, the firm's management must find out the firm's full capacity sales as follows:Actual salesFull capacity salesPercentage of capacityat which fixed assetswere operatedNext, management would calculate the firm's target fixed assets ratio as follows:Total fixed assetsSalesActual fixed assetsFull capacity salesFinally, management would use the target fixed assets ratio with the projected sales to calculate the firm's required level of fixed assets as follows:Required level of fixeassets = (Target fixed assets/Sales) x Projected salesQuantitative Problem 2: Mitchell Manufacturing Company has $1,600,000,000 in sales and $390,000,000 in fixed assets. Currently, the company's fixed assets are operating at 70% of capacity.a. What level of sales could Mitchell have obtained if it had been operating at full capacity? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.$b. What is Mitchell's Target fixed assets/Sales ratio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.%c. If Mitchell's sales increase by 50%, how large of an increase in fixed assets will the company need to meet its Target fixed assets/Sales ratio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.$
