Question

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Abacus Company sells its product for $180 per unit. Its actual and projected sales follow.

	Units	Dollars
April (actual)	6,000	$1,080,000
May (actual)	2,000	360,000
June (budgeted)	7,000	1,260,000
July (budgeted)	6,500	1,170,000
August (budgeted)	3,800	684,000

All sales are on credit. Recent experience shows that 22% of credit sales is collected in the month of the sale, 48% in the month after the sale, 28% in the second month after the sale, and 2% proves to be uncollectible. The product’s purchase price is $110 per unit. All purchases are payable within 12 days. Thus, 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 24% of the next month’s unit sales plus a safety stock of 195 units. The April 30 and May 31 actual inventory levels are consistent with this policy. Selling and administrative expenses for the year are $1,692,000 and are paid evenly throughout the year in cash. The company’s minimum cash balance at month-end is $90,000. This minimum is maintained, if necessary, by borrowing cash from the bank. If the balance exceeds $90,000, the company repays as much of the loan as it can without going below the minimum. This type of loan carries an annual 12% interest rate. On May 31, the loan balance is $45,500, and the company’s cash balance is $90,000.

Answer 1

Interest In June:45,500*12%*1/12=$455

Repayment In June =Cash Surplus-(Interest+Minimum Cash Balance)

=$106,520-(455+90000)=16,065

Interest in July=(45,500-16,065)*12%*1/12=$294.35

In July You Repay $ 45,500-$16,065=$29,435 still you have cash more Than $90,000 thats why it has'nt been balanced
