1 ABC Inc. is a juice producer which has been growing steadily for the past 5 years. According to the expected market demand, the company is planning to grow its sales at 15% next year. Since the company is currently operating at full capacity, fixed assets will also grow proportional to sales, same as current assets and current liabilities. However, long-term debt and equity will not grow proportional to sales but rather management will decide upon their next year level based on an acceptable level of debt to equity ratio as well as ROE ratio. The company has a dividend pay-out ratio of 40%, which the management want to maintain in order to meet the shareholders' expectations.
