This has been a bad year for Miami-based Park Avenue Furniture. The firm increased sales revenues to 1,400,000, but total expenses balloned to 1,750,000. Although management realized that some of the firm's expenses were out of control, including cost of goods sold (700,000), salaries (450,000), and advertising costs (140,000), it could not contain expenses. As a result the furniture retailer lost 350,000. To make matters worse, the retailer applied for a 350,000 loan at Fidelity National Bank and was turned down. The Bank officer, Mike Nettles said that the firm already had too much debt. At that time, total liabilities were 420,000, owner's equity 600,000.
