Forecasting the Balance Sheet

Many of the items on the balance sheet have a direct relationship to sales, and these

relationships allow us to forecast the balance sheet once the sales forecast has been made. It is

sales that cause a need for assets. Accounts receivable are a good example of this. The more

sales we have, the more accounts receivable we must have. Cash and inventory are other

obvious examples. These are called variable assets because they go up and down with sales.

Sales also cause us to have liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued expenses go up as sales go

up and these are called variable liabilities. Sales also hopefully generate profits.

Examples of variable assets include cash, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.

Assets such as land, building, furniture and fixtures do not normally vary directly with sales in

the short-term. Variable liabilities include accounts payable and accrued expenses. While

notes payable go up and down with sales, it is not considered a variable liability. Instead, this

account is used to balance the balance sheet if additional funds are needed to purchase the

new variable assets. It is possible that the increase in variable assets caused by a sales increase

will be paid for by a combination of the increase in variable liabilities and net profit. If this is

not the case, the difference must either be supplied by the bank or by the owner in the form

of additional capital.

Once we have the sales forecast, we can determine the level of assets and liabilities that will be

necessary to support it. This is done by examining the relationship that each category of

variable assets and variable liabilities has with sales.
