1. Interest Payments on Debt
= Interest earned on cash balances rate x [Cash (yr 0 +1)] /2
= --Interest rate on debt x [Debt (yr0+1) ] /2
= -- Profit before tax x Tax Rate
= Depreciation (yr0) -- [Depreciation Rate x FA At Cost (y0+1)] /2

2. Debt
= Profit before tax + taxes
= Depreciation (yr0) -- [Depreciation Rate x FA At Cost (y0+1)] /2
= Stock (y0)
= Debt (y0) -- Debt repayment amount

3. Accumlated Depreciation
= Interest earned on cash balances rate x [Cash (yr 0 +1)] /2
= Sales (yr1) x Current Liabilities/Sales Ratio
= Depreciation (yr0) -- [Depreciation Rate x FA At Cost (y0+1)] /2
= Net Fixed Assets + Other Current Assets + Cash

4. Taxes
= Dividends + Profit After Tax
= Net Fixed Assets + Other Current Assets + Cash
= -- Profit before tax x Tax Rate
= Current liabilities + Debt + Stock + Accumulated Retained Earnings

5. Current Liabilities
= Net Fixed Assets -- Deprecitation
= Sales (yr1) x Current Liabilities/Sales Ratio
= Depreciation (yr0) -- [Depreciation Rate x FA At Cost (y0+1)] /2
= --Interest rate on debt x [Debt (yr0+1) ] /2

6. Interest earned on cash and other marketable securities
= Sales + COGS + Depreciation + Interest on Debt + Intest earned on cash and marketable securities
= Net Fixed Assets + Other Current Assets + Cash
= --Interest rate on debt x [Debt (yr0+1) ] /2
= Interest earned on cash balances rate x [Cash (yr 0 +1)] /2

7. Cash (plug figure)
= --Depreciation rate x [FA At Cost (yr 0+1) ] /2
= Debt (y0) -- Debt repayment amount
= Total Liabilities and equity -- current assets -- net fixed assets
= Sales (yr1) x Current Assets/ Sales Ratio

8. Sales
= sales( from yr 0) x (1+sales growth)
= Profit before tax + taxes
= Total Liabilities and equity -- current assets -- net fixed assets
= Accumulated Retained Earnings (y0) +Retained Earnings

9. Profit Before Tax
= --Depreciation rate x [FA At Cost (yr 0+1) ] /2
= Sales (yr1) x Current Assets/ Sales Ratio
= Total Liabilities and equity -- current assets -- net fixed assets
= Sales + COGS + Depreciation + Interest on Debt + Intest earned on cash and marketable securities

10. Accumulated Retained Earnings
= Accumulated Retained Earnings (y0) +Retained Earnings
= Current liabilities + Debt + Stock + Accumulated Retained Earnings
= Net Fixed Assets + Other Current Assets + Cash
= Sales (yr1) x Current Assets/ Sales Ratio

11. Stock
= -- Profit before tax x Tax Rate
= Profit before tax + taxes
= Net Fixed Assets + Other Current Assets + Cash
= Stock (y0)

12. Retained Earnings
= Depreciation (yr0) -- [Depreciation Rate x FA At Cost (y0+1)] /2
= Interest earned on cash balances rate x [Cash (yr 0 +1)] /2
= sales( from yr 0) x (1+sales growth)
= Dividends + Profit After Tax

13. Dividends
= --Dividend Payout ratio x profit before tax
= Net Fixed Assets -- Deprecitation
= Interest earned on cash balances rate x [Cash (yr 0 +1)] /2
= Dividends + Profit After Tax

14. Depreciation
= --Interest rate on debt x [Debt (yr0+1) ] /2
= Current liabilities + Debt + Stock + Accumulated Retained Earnings
= Debt (y0) -- Debt repayment amount
= --Depreciation rate x [FA At Cost (yr 0+1) ] /2

15. Cost of Goods Sold
= -- sales(yr1) x COGS/Sales Ratio
= Net Fixed Assets + Other Current Assets + Cash
= Sales (yr1) x Current Assets/ Sales Ratio
= Depreciation (yr0) -- [Depreciation Rate x FA At Cost (y0+1)] /2

16. Total Assets
= Depreciation (yr0) -- [Depreciation Rate x FA At Cost (y0+1)] /2
= Net Fixed Assets + Other Current Assets + Cash
= Sales + COGS + Depreciation + Interest on Debt + Intest earned on cash and marketable securities
= Net Fixed Assets -- Deprecitation

17. Total Liabilites and Equity
= Current liabilities + Debt + Stock + Accumulated Retained Earnings
= -- Profit before tax x Tax Rate
= --Depreciation rate x [FA At Cost (yr 0+1) ] /2
= Net Fixed Assets + Other Current Assets + Cash

18. Net Fixed Assets
= --Depreciation rate x [FA At Cost (yr 0+1) ] /2
= Interest earned on cash balances rate x [Cash (yr 0 +1)] /2
= --Dividend Payout ratio x profit before tax
= Sales (yr1) x Current Assets/ Sales Ratio

19. Profit after Tax
= -- sales(yr1) x COGS/Sales Ratio
= Profit before tax + taxes
= Sales (yr1) x Current Assets/ Sales Ratio
= Net Fixed Assets -- Deprecitation

20. Other Current Assets
= --Depreciation rate x [FA At Cost (yr 0+1) ] /2
= Total Liabilities and equity -- current assets -- net fixed assets
= Sales x Current Assets/Sales Ratio
= Accumulated Retained Earnings (y0) +Retained Earnings

21. At Cost
= Accumulated Retained Earnings (y0) +Retained Earnings
= Sales (yr1) x Current Liabilities/Sales Ratio
= --Interest rate on debt x [Debt (yr0+1) ] /2
= Net Fixed Assets -- Deprecitation
