1. Accumulated Retained Earnings
= Sales + COGS + Depreciation + Interest on Debt + Intest earned on cash and marketable securities
= Net Fixed Assets + Other Current Assets + Cash
= Accumulated Retained Earnings (y0) +Retained Earnings
= Sales (yr1) x Current Liabilities/Sales Ratio

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

3. Stock
= Debt (y0) -- Debt repayment amount
= Sales (yr1) x Current Assets/ Sales Ratio
= Stock (y0)
= Net Fixed Assets -- Deprecitation

4. Cost of Goods Sold
= -- sales(yr1) x COGS/Sales Ratio
= Sales + COGS + Depreciation + Interest on Debt + Intest earned on cash and marketable securities
= -- Profit before tax x Tax Rate
= Sales (yr1) x Current Assets/ Sales Ratio

5. At Cost
= Accumulated Retained Earnings (y0) +Retained Earnings
= Net Fixed Assets + Other Current Assets + Cash
= Sales (yr1) x Current Liabilities/Sales Ratio
= Net Fixed Assets -- Deprecitation

6. Interest Payments on Debt
= --Interest rate on debt x [Debt (yr0+1) ] /2
= Sales + COGS + Depreciation + Interest on Debt + Intest earned on cash and marketable securities
= Profit before tax + taxes
= Interest earned on cash balances rate x [Cash (yr 0 +1)] /2

7. Profit after Tax
= --Depreciation rate x [FA At Cost (yr 0+1) ] /2
= sales( from yr 0) x (1+sales growth)
= Profit before tax + taxes
= Sales x Current Assets/Sales Ratio

8. Other Current Assets
= sales( from yr 0) x (1+sales growth)
= --Interest rate on debt x [Debt (yr0+1) ] /2
= Sales x Current Assets/Sales Ratio
= Net Fixed Assets -- Deprecitation

9. Total Assets
= Dividends + Profit After Tax
= Sales + COGS + Depreciation + Interest on Debt + Intest earned on cash and marketable securities
= --Depreciation rate x [FA At Cost (yr 0+1) ] /2
= Net Fixed Assets + Other Current Assets + Cash

10. Debt
= --Interest rate on debt x [Debt (yr0+1) ] /2
= Current liabilities + Debt + Stock + Accumulated Retained Earnings
= Debt (y0) -- Debt repayment amount
= Sales + COGS + Depreciation + Interest on Debt + Intest earned on cash and marketable securities

11. Cash (plug figure)
= Stock (y0)
= Total Liabilities and equity -- current assets -- net fixed assets
= Sales (yr1) x Current Assets/ Sales Ratio
= Depreciation (yr0) -- [Depreciation Rate x FA At Cost (y0+1)] /2

12. Net Fixed Assets
= -- Profit before tax x Tax Rate
= Sales (yr1) x Current Assets/ Sales Ratio
= --Interest rate on debt x [Debt (yr0+1) ] /2
= Sales (yr1) x Current Liabilities/Sales Ratio

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

14. Profit Before Tax
= -- sales(yr1) x COGS/Sales Ratio
= Sales + COGS + Depreciation + Interest on Debt + Intest earned on cash and marketable securities
= -- Profit before tax x Tax Rate
= Stock (y0)

15. Retained Earnings
= -- Profit before tax x Tax Rate
= --Dividend Payout ratio x profit before tax
= Dividends + Profit After Tax
= Sales (yr1) x Current Assets/ Sales Ratio

16. Taxes
= -- sales(yr1) x COGS/Sales Ratio
= Sales + COGS + Depreciation + Interest on Debt + Intest earned on cash and marketable securities
= Current liabilities + Debt + Stock + Accumulated Retained Earnings
= -- Profit before tax x Tax Rate

17. Sales
= sales( from yr 0) x (1+sales growth)
= Interest earned on cash balances rate x [Cash (yr 0 +1)] /2
= Sales x Current Assets/Sales Ratio
= --Depreciation rate x [FA At Cost (yr 0+1) ] /2

18. Current Liabilities
= Sales (yr1) x Current Liabilities/Sales Ratio
= Net Fixed Assets + Other Current Assets + Cash
= Stock (y0)
= Sales + COGS + Depreciation + Interest on Debt + Intest earned on cash and marketable securities

19. Depreciation
= --Interest rate on debt x [Debt (yr0+1) ] /2
= Sales (yr1) x Current Liabilities/Sales Ratio
= -- sales(yr1) x COGS/Sales Ratio
= --Depreciation rate x [FA At Cost (yr 0+1) ] /2

20. Total Liabilites and Equity
= Current liabilities + Debt + Stock + Accumulated Retained Earnings
= Debt (y0) -- Debt repayment amount
= Dividends + Profit After Tax
= sales( from yr 0) x (1+sales growth)

21. Dividends
= Accumulated Retained Earnings (y0) +Retained Earnings
= --Dividend Payout ratio x profit before tax
= Profit before tax + taxes
= Sales + COGS + Depreciation + Interest on Debt + Intest earned on cash and marketable securities
