All sales are on credit. Recent experience shows that 24% of credit
sales is collected in the month of the sale, 46% in the month after
the sale, 27% in the second month after the sale, and 3% proves to
be uncollectible. The product’s purchase price is $110 per unit.
60% of purchases made in a month is paid in that month and the
other 40% is paid in the next month. The company has a policy to
maintain an ending monthly inventory of 20% of the next month’s
unit sales plus a safety stock of 125 units. The April 30 and May
31 actual inventory levels are consistent with this policy. Selling
and administrative expenses for the year are $1,680,000 and are
paid evenly throughout the year in cash. The company’s minimum cash
balance at month-end is $110,000. This minimum is maintained, if
necessary, by borrowing cash from the bank. If the balance exceeds
$110,000, the company repays as much of the loan as it can without
going below the minimum. This type of loan carries an annual 13%
interest rate. On May 31, the loan balance is $39,500, and the
company’s cash balance is $110,000.
