Frequently Asked Questions
How is AFN calculated?
AFN = (Assets that vary with Sales / Current Sales) x Sales Increase - (Liabilities that vary with Sales / Current Sales) x Sales Increase - Net Profit Margin x Projected Sales x (1 - Dividend Payout Ratio). The last term represents retained earnings, which offset the financing need.
What does a negative AFN mean?
A negative AFN means the company generates a surplus of internal funds beyond what's needed to support its sales growth, rather than needing external financing.
