(Financial forecastingdiscretionary financing needs) J. T. Jarmon, Inc. has been in business for only 1 year, and the CFO expects that the relationship between firm sales and its operating expenses, current assets, net fixed assets, and current liabilities will remain at their current proportion of sales.

Last year, Jarmon had $15 million in sales and net income of $1.50 million. The firm anticipates that next year's sales will reach $18.750 million, with net income rising to $1.65 million. Given its present high rate of growth, the firm retains all its earnings to help defray the cost of new investments.
