The basic assumptions of the projections made on percentage of sales method
The basic assumption is that there is no inflation in the business environment in that the
increase in the sales will mainly be caused by an increase in production and not an increase in the
selling price. In addition, it is assumed that the company will be operating at full capacity due to
increase in the finance to boost up the production process. Therefore, the increase in production
will demand an increase in fixed assets in future. Nevertheless, the capital remains constant
throughout the forecasting period in that there is no issuance of preference shares or ordinary
shares or debentures.
It is further assumed that the relationship between the balance sheet items and the sales
remain constant throughout the forecasting period. More so, the profit margin will be realized
and shall remain constant during the forecasting period.
