Arlsbad Corporation's sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2019 to $6 million in 2020, or by 20%. Its assets totaled $2 million at the end of 2019. Carlsbad is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities are $1 million, consisting of $250,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $250,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 3%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Carlsbad's additional funds needed for the coming year. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Now assume the company's assets totaled $3 million at the end of 2018. Is the company's "capital intensity" the same or different comparing to initial situation?
