At a recent board meeting, the firm set the following objectives for 2010:

1. The firm would increase liquidity. For competitive reasons, accounts receivable and inventory balances were expected to continue their historical relationships with sales and cost of goods sold, respectively, but the Board felt that the company should double its cash holdings.

2. The firm would accelerate payments to suppliers. This would have two effects. First, by paying more rapidly, the firm would be able to take advantage of early payment discounts, which would increase its gross margin from 20 percent to 22 percent. Second, by paying earlier, the firmâ??s accounts payable balance, which historically averaged about one twelfth of cost of goods sold, would decline to 4 percent of cost of goods sold.

3. The firm would expand its warehouse, which would require an investment in fixed assets of $10 million. This would increase projected depreciation expense from $5 million in 2009 to $7 million in 2010.

4. The firm would issue no new common stock during the year, and it would initiate a dividend payments in 2010 would total $1.2 million.

5. Operating expenses would remain at 10 percent of sales.

6. The firm did not expect to retire any long-term debt, and it was willing to borrow up to the limit of its current credit line with the bank, $20 million. The interest rate on its outstanding debts would average 8 percent.

7. The firm set a sales target for 2010 of $200 million.
