April, May, and June. Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes
represent $28,800 of the estimated monthly manufacturing costs.
Insurance was paid on March 31, and property taxes will be paid in
November. Three-fourths of the remainder of the manufacturing costs
are expected to be paid in the month in which they are incurred
