Suppose that in 2020, sales increase by 20% over 2019 sales. The firm currently has 100,000 shares outstanding. It expects to maintain its 2019 dividend payout ratio and believes that its assets should grow at the same rate as sales. The firm has no excess capacity. However, the firm would like to reduce its operating costs/sales ratio to 86.5% and increase its total liabilities-to-assets ratio to 30%. (It believes its liabilities-to-assets ratio currently is too low relative to the industry average.) The firm will raise 30% of the 2020 forecasted interest-bearing debt as notes payable, and it will issue long-term bonds for the remainder. The firm forecasts that its before-tax cost of debt (which includes both short- and long-term debt) is 12%. Assume that any common stock issuances or repurchases can be made at the firm's current stock price of $45.

    1. Construct the forecasted financial statements assuming that these changes are made. What are the firm's forecasted notes payable and long-term debt balances? What is the forecasted addition to retained earnings? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent.
