Tulley Appliance Inc. projects next year's sales to be $20 million. Current sales are 15 million, based on current assets of $5 million and fixed assets of $5 million. The firm's net profit margin is 5 percent after taxes. Tulley forcasts that its current assets will rise in direct proportion to increase in sales, but that its fixed assets will increase by only $100,000. Currently, Tulley has 1.5 million in accounts payable (which vary directly with sales), $2 million in long term debt (due in 10 years), and common equity (including $4 million in retained earnings) totaling $6.5 million.
