depreciation expense was going to be $9,000 per year, using the straight-line method. He has supplied
you with the following information (above) to help you put together his cash budget.
The revenue for a coffee is $5 for a large, $4 for a medium and $3 for a small. 50% of his sales are Large
coffees, 25% medium and 25% smalls. Chris has a deal with an accounting company and half of the
coffees sold are on account, the other half pay cash. The accounting company pays for the coffees the
month after the sale. Assume credit sales are half of the total coffee sales.
