Suppose that in 2017 sales increase by 20% over 2016 sales and that 2017 dividends will increase to $168,000. Forecast the financial statements using the forecasted financial statement method. Assume the firm operated at full capacity in 2016. Use an interest rate of 12%, and assume that any new debt will be added at the end of the year (so forecast the interest expense based on the debt balance at the beginning of the year). Cash does not earn any interest income. Assume that the all new-debt will be in the form of a line of credit. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Do not round intermediate calculations.
