I cannot get my balance sheet to balance.  I am forecasting for period 20x7. The Income Statement provided is this:

 

Income statement     
For year ended December 31 (in millions)20x620x520x4
Net Sales  132341399414089
Cost of goods sold  867073758086
 gross profit 456456196003

other income (charges) -1896261
Earnings before income taxes 10821322109
provision for income taxes 32725717
 net earnings7614071392

Here was my forecast for the income statement for 20x7:
 

  20x7
Net sales 12515.27
cost of goods sold8199.14
gross profit 4316.13

Restructuiring costs (credits) and other0.00
 earnings from operations864.75
Interest expense312.87
other income (charges)-18.00
Earnings before income taxes533.88
provision for income taxes158.19
 net earnings375.69

So now I am trying to forecast the balance sheet for 20x7 and here is the previous balance sheet and my forecast:

  total shareholders' equity28943428 2756.39 
  total liabilities and shareholders' equity1336214212 12886.39 

Also here are the ratios I have calculated:
 

Growth rate - -0.054309(13234+13994)/13994
Gross profit margin34.49%(13234-8670)/13234*100
SGA Percentage0.15233(2781-765)/13234
Depreciation expense / gross prior year PPE0.059765/12963
Interest expense / prior- year long term debt0.1878219/1166
income tax expense / pretax income0.296332/108
Accounts receivable turnover rate5.6613234/2337
inventory turn over rate 7.637.63
accounts payable turnover rate2.658670/3276
acrued expenses turnover rate  
taxes payable / tax expense1.044544/521
dividends per share 1.77514000000/290929701
capital expenditures (CAPEX) in millions988.7112515.27*0.079
CAPEX/Sales 0.0790.0791144
depreciation estimate  45.135

and finally here are the assumptions:
a.  All financial ratios remain at 20x6 levels.

b.  Kodak will not record restructuring costs for 20x7.

c.  Taxes payable are at the 20x6 level of $544 million.

d.  Depreciation expense charged to SG&A is $765 million and $738 million for 20x6 and 20x5, respectively.

e.  Gross PPE is $12,982 million and $12,963 million for 20x6 and 20x5, respectively.

f.  Projected current maturities of long-term debt are $13 million for 20x7.

g.  Capital expenditures for 20x6 and 20x5 are $1,047 and $783, respectively

the balance sheet is way off and the assets are larger than the liabilities and I haven't even calculated teh cash.  Where have I gone wrong?
