Main assumptions:
Sales has increased by 25% in 2017.
"Cost of goods sold" is 80% of sales in the income statement at all times. All other items are
independent of sales.
Each current asset and accounts payable are fractions of sales in the balance sheet. All other items
are independent of sales.
Current ratio is 3, accounts receivable turnover is 2, inventory turnover is 4, accounts payable
turnover is 5 at all times. Turnovers are calculated with respect to the current period balances
without averaging with past year balances.
Throughout the year 2017:
o the company raised funds through short-term debt first.
o the company raised the remaining funds through 50% long-term debt and 50% equity
offering (common stock).
