However, in this case, weassume the company's sales and other operations are growing, so we consider thegrowth rateinassets and liabilities. We need to assess thecurrent assetsandcurrent liabilitiesto calculate theEFN.Step-by-Step:Total Assets= $420,000Total Liabilities= $320,000Equity (Retained Earnings + Common Stock)= $40,000 + $60,000 = $100,000So, the total equity is $100,000.Current Assets= $200,000 (from cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable,inventory)Current Liabilities= $80,000 (from accounts payable, accruals, current note payable)Now, if the company needs to maintain a proportional relationship between assets and liabilities,we need to calculate the growth required.2.EFN Calculation:If the company plans to increase its assets (say, due to projected sales growth), the EFN formulawould look like this:Assuming the company expects asales growth rateof "X%" (not provided, but usually derivedfrom projections), this will affect both assets and liabilities. Without the specific growth rate, wecan't calculate EFN exactly but the general formula would be:If we had a projected growth rate, say 10%, we would multiply the current assets and liabilitiesby 1.10 and then subtract from the current liabilities and equity.
