Here is the email you received from the accountant: Greetings. I'm very busy with tax season but here is some information you will need: Sales this last year were $2,250,000 and COGS were $787,500. The sale of our Cincinnati warehouse increased LT assets by $100,000 to $540,000 and new warehouse costs are $328,000. The reduction mileage and delivery times to the customers decreased our transportation costs to $100,000. Inventory carrying costs grew to $170,000. Other costs to the organization grew to $440,000. Taxes and Interest were same at $100,000. 1 haven't had a chance to check the profit levels. Current Assets grew to $152,000 but so did Current Liabilities to $85,000.
