Orange Corporation is evaluating its financing needs for the coming year. The company has been in business for only three years, and the company's chief financial officer (Erica Stevens) predicts that the firm's operating expenses, current assets, and current liabilities will remain at their current proportion of sales.

Current Assets $4,000,000 20%
Net Fixed Assets $8,000,000 40%
