Amalgamated Enterprises is planning to purchase some new equipment. With this new equipment, the

company expects sales to increase from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000.

A portion of the financing for the purchase of
the equipment will come from a $1,000,000 new common stock issue. The company knows that its current
assets, fixed assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses increase directly with sales. The company's net
profit margin on sales is 8 percent, and the company plans to pay 40 percent of its after-tax earnings in
dividends. A copy of the company's current balance sheet is given below.
