Orange Company is evaluating its financing requirements for the coming year. The firm has been in business for only three years, and the firmâ??s chief financial officer (Erica Stevens) predicts that the firmâ??s operating expenses, current assets, and current liabilities will remain at their current proportion of sales.

Current Assets $4,000,000 20%
