1. Consider the following simplified financial statements for
Fire Dragon Corporation
(assume no income taxes):
Income Statement
Sales $32,000
Costs $24,400
Net Income $7,600
Balance Sheet
Assets $25,300
Total $25,300
Debt $5,800
Equity $19,500
Total $25,300
The company has forecast a sales increase of 15 percent. Fire
Dragon has also predicted that every item
on the balance sheet will increase by 15 percent. Create the pro
forma statements and reconcile them.

2. Now let’s assume that Fire Dragon pays out half of net income in
the form of a cash dividend. Also, costs
and assets vary with sales, but debt and equity do not. Prepare the
pro forma statements and determine the
external financing needed. What is the plug variable here?
