Question

Abacus Company sells its product for $240 per unit. Its actual and projected sales follow.

	Units	Dollars
April (actual)	7,000	$1,680,000
May (actual)	2,400	576,000
June (budgeted)	6,000	1,440,000
July (budgeted)	6,000	1,440,000
August (budgeted)	3,800	912,000

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, 26% in the second month after the sale, and 4% proves to be uncollectible. The product’s purchase price is $110 per unit. All purchases are payable within 14 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 20% of the next month’s unit sales plus a safety stock of 170 units. The April 30 and May 31 actual inventory levels are consistent with this policy. Selling and administrative expenses for the year are $1,368,000 and are paid evenly throughout the year in cash. The company’s minimum cash balance at month-end is $81,000. This minimum is maintained, if necessary, by borrowing cash from the bank. If the balance exceeds $81,000, 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 $46,000, and the company’s cash balance is $81,000.
