Sunset Boards is a small company that manufactures and sells surfboards in Malibu, Tad Marks, the founder of the company, is in charge of the design and sale of the surfboards, but his background is in surfing, not business. As a result, the companys financial records are not well maintained. The initial investment in Sunset Boards was provided by Tad and his friends and family. Because the initial investment was relatively small, and the company has made surfboards only for its own store, the investors have not required detailed financial statements from Tad. But thanks to word of mount among professional surfers, sales have picked up recently, and Tad is considering a major expansion. His plans include opening another surfboard store in Hawaii, as well as supplying his sticks (surfer lingo for boards) to other sellers. Tads expansion plans require a significant investment, which he plans to finance with a combination of additional funds from outsiders plus some money borrowed from banks. Naturally, the new investors and creditors required more organized and detailed financial statements that Tad has previously prepared. At the urging of his investors, Tad has hired financial analyst Jameson Reid to evaluate the performance of the company over the past year. After rooting through old bank statements, sales receipts, tax returns, and other records, Jameson has assembled the following information. 2018 2019 Cost of good sold $224,359 $283,281 Cash $32,372 $34,394 Depreciation $63,334 $71,584 Interest expense $13,783 $15,780 Selling and administrative expense $44,121 $57,586 Account payable $57,220 $63,479 Net fixed assets $279,419 $348,508 Sales $440,122 $536,483 Accounts receivable $22,939 $29,755 Notes payable $26,079 $28,474 Long-term debt $141,040 $158,368 Inventory $48,272 $66,244 New equity $0 $27,157
