Bombs Away Video Games sells the popular Strafe and Capture video
game. It sells for $5 per unit and costs $2 per unit to produce. A
level production policy is followed. Each month's production is
equal to annual sales (in units) divided by 12.
Of each month's sales, 40 percent are for cash and 60 percent are
on account. All accounts receivable are collected in the month
after the sale is made.
