(Financial statement analysis) The T. P. Jarmon Company manufactures and sells a line of exclusive sportswear. The firm's sales were $600,000 for the year just ended, and its total assets exceeded $500,000. The company was started by Mr. Jarmon just 10 years ago and has been profitable every year since its inception. The chief financial officer for the firm, Brent Vehlim, has decided to seek a line of credit from the firm's bank totaling $86,000.

However, in recent months tight money conditions have led the firm's suppliers to offer sizable cash discounts to speed up payments for purchases.
