Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Operating costs for this year = Cash + Acct. Receivable + inventories + net fixed assets
Total Operating costs = 150+150+100+400 = 800
(Short term investments are not included in operating costs)
Projected growth in costs (Assuming same as sales) = 12% *800 = 96
Projected total operating costs = $800+$96 = $896
