Chapter 14, Problem 3SP
(Financial forecasting—discretionary financing needs) Sambonoza Enterprises projects its sales next year to be $4 million and expects to earn 5 percent of that amount after taxes.

- 1. Current assets will equal 20 percent of sales, and fixed assets will remain at their current level of $1 million.
- 2. Common equity is currently $0.8 million, and the firm pays out half its after-tax earnings in dividends.
- 3. The firm has short-term payables and trade credit that normally equal 10 percent of sales, and it has no long-term debt outstanding.
