By what percentage could 2017 sales increase over 2016 sales without the need for an increase in fixed assets? Round your answer to two decimal places.
%
Now suppose 2017 sales increase by 20% over 2016 sales. Assume that Krogh cannot sell any fixed assets. All assets other than fixed assets will grow at the same rate as sales; however, after reviewing industry averages, the firm would like to reduce its operating costs/sales ratio to 84% and increase its total liabilities-to-assets ratio to 42%. The firm will maintain its 60% dividend payout ratio, and it currently has 1 million shares outstanding. The firm plans to raise 35% of its 2017 forecasted interest-bearing debt as notes payable, and it will issue bonds for the remainder. The firm forecasts that its before-tax cost of debt (which includes both short- and long-term debt) is 10%. Any stock issuances or repurchases will be made at the firm's current stock price of $40. Develop Krogh's projected financial statements. What are the balances of notes payable, bonds, common stock, and retained earnings? Round your answers to the nearest hundredth of thousand of dollars.
