Zapatera Enterprises is evaluating its financing requirements for the coming year. The firm has been in business for only 1 year, but the CFO predicts the firm's operating expenses, current assets, net fixed assets, and current liabilities will remain at their current proportion of sales. Last year Zapatera had $12.73 million in sales and net income of $1.19 million. The firm anticipates that next year's sales will reach $15.96 million, with net incomerising to $2.08 million.
