Khaled Industries, a defense contractor, is developing a cash budget for October, November, and December.
(i) Khaled’s sales in August and September were
$100,000 and $200,000 respectively. Forecasted Sales for October,
November, and December are as below: October - $400,000 November -
$300,000 December - $200,000
30% of the firm’s sales have been for cash, 50% have been collected
after 1 month, and the remaining 20% after 2 months. Bad-debt
expenses (uncollectible accounts) have been negligible. In
December, Khaled will receive a $30,000 dividend from stock in a
subsidiary.

for the development of a cash disbursement schedule. Purchases will
represent 70% of sales - 40% will be paid immediately in cash, 60%
is paid the month following the purchase. The firm will also expend
cash on rent, wages and salaries every month of $52,000.
