New Funds Needed for an Expansion for Carter Paint Company
Not what you're looking for?
Carter Paint Company has plants in nine Midwestern states. Sales for last year were $100 million, and the balance sheet at year-end is similar in percentage of sales to that of previous years (and this will continue in the future). All assets (including fixed assets) and current liabilities will vary directly with sales.

Carter Paint has an after-tax profit margin of 5 percent and a dividend payout ratio of 30 percent.
