4-1A. (Financial forecasting) Zapatera Enterprises is evaluating its financing requirements for
the coming year. The firm has only been in business for one year, but its Chief Financial Officer
predicts that 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 million in sales with net income of $1.2 million. The firm anticipates
that next year's sales will reach $15 million with net income rising to $2 million. Given its present high rate of growth, the firm retains all of its earnings to help defray the cost of new investments.

The firm's balance sheet for the year just ended is as follows:
Zapatera Enterprises, Inc.

12/31/03 % OF SALES
Current assets $3,000,000 25%
Net fixed assets 6,000,000 50%
