(Financial forecasting) Zapatera Enterprises is evaluating its financing requirements for the coming year. The firm has been in business for only 1 year, but its CFO predicts that the firm's operating expenses, current assets, net fixed assets, and current liabilities will remain at their current proportion of sales. Last year Zapatera had $12 million in sales, and net income of $1.2 million. The firm anticipates that next year's sales will reach $15.0 million, with net income rising to $1.32 milion. Given its present high rate of growth, the firm retains all its earnings to help defray the cost of new investments.
