These clients consisted principally of small- to medium-size companies in Round Rock, Texas.

The following balance sheet for 2023 and pro forma balance sheet for 2024 reflect the firm's estimates of the financial impact of the 100 percent revenue growth: a.

(Related to Checkpoint 17.1) (Forecasting discretionary financing needs) Bates Fabricators, Inc. estimates that it invests 25 cents in assets for each dollar of new sales. However, 4 cents in profits are produced by each dollar of additional sales, of which 1 cent(s) can be reinvested in the firm. If sales rise by $773,000 next year from their current level of $5.36 million, and the ratio of spontaneous liabilities to sales is 0.17, what will be the firm's need for discretionary financing? (Hint: In this situation, you do not know what the firm's existing level of assets is, nor do you know how those assets have been financed. Thus, you must estimate the change in financing needs and match this change with the expected changes in spontaneous liabilities, retained earnings, and other sources of discretionary financing.) The discretionary financing needs will be $ (Round to the nearest dollar.)
