Built-Tight is preparing its master budget for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. Budgeted sales and cash payments for product costs for the quarter follow:

	July			August			September
Budgeted sales	$	58,500		$	74,500		$	53,500
Budgeted cash payments for
Direct materials		16,060			13,340			13,660
Direct labor		3,940			3,260			3,340
Factory overhead		20,100			16,700			17,100

Sales are 25% cash and 75% on credit. All credit sales are collected in the month following the sale. The June 30 balance sheet includes balances of $15,000 in cash; $44,900 in accounts receivable; $4,400 in accounts payable; and a $4,900 balance in loans payable. A minimum cash balance of $15,000 is required. Loans are obtained at the end of any month when a cash shortage occurs. Interest is 1% per month based on the beginning-of-the-month loan balance and is paid at each month-end. If an excess balance of cash exists, loans are repaid at the end of the month. Operating expenses are paid in the month incurred and consist of sales commissions (10% of sales), office salaries ($3,900 per month), and rent ($6,400 per month).

(2) Prepare a cash budget for each of the months of July, August, and September. (Negative balances and Loan repayment amounts (if any) should be indicated with minus sign. Enter your final answers in whole dollars.)
