Over the past several years, the company has been paying 50k in dividends to its stockholders. The company expects to continue this policy for at least the next year. The actual balance sheet and income statement for BPC are as follows:

Cash	200,000	Accounts Payable	600,000
Accounts receivable	400,000	Notes Payable	500,000
Inventories	1,200,000
Current liabilities	1,100,000

Net fixed assets	500,000	Stockholder's equity	1,000,000
