(Financial forecasting long dash percent of sales) Tulley Appliances, Inc. projects next year's sales to be $20.4 million. Current sales are at $14.7 million, based on current assets of $5.1 million and fixed assets of $5.1 million. The firm's net profit margin is 4.8 percent after taxes. Tulley forecasts that current assets will rise in direct proportion to the increase in sales, but fixed assets will increase by only $106,000. Currently, Tulley has $1.3 million in accounts payable (which vary directly with sales), $1.7 million in long-term debt (due in 10 years), and common equity (including $3.9 million in retained earnings) totaling $6.5 million. Tulley plans to pay $540,000 in common stock dividends next year.
