Garlington Technologies Inc.’s 2018 financial statements are shown here:

Suppose that in 2019 sales increase by 10% over 2018 sales and that 2019 dividends will increase to $112,000. Forecast the financial statements using the forecasted financial statement method. Assume the firm operated at full capacity in 2018. Use an interest rate of 13%, and assume that any new debt will be added at the end of the year (so forecast the interest expense based on the debt balance at the beginning of the year). Cash does not earn any interest income. Assume that the all-new debt will be in the form of a line of credit.
