Satellite World was founded in 2017 to apply a new technology for efficiently transmitting closed-circuit (cable) television signals without the need for an in-ground cable. The company earned a profit of $115,000 in 2017, its first year of operations, even though it was serving only a small test market. In 2018, the company began dramatically expanding its customer base. Management expects both sales and net income to more than triple in each of the next five years.

Comparative balance sheets at the end of 2017 and 2018, the companys first two years of operations, follow. (Notice that the balances at the end of the current year appear in the right-hand column.)

Additional Information

Net income for the year was $440,000. The company has never paid a dividend.
