Nolan Johnson is CFO for a newly formed furniture manufacturing company. Below is the anticipated monthly production for the first year of operation, and beyond. Nolan is interested in learning which of the first twelve months will require cash outlays of more than $100,000 toward the purchase of lumber.

Lumber purchases are paid for 10% in the month of purchase, 40% in the month following the month of purchase, and 50% in the second month following the month of purchase.
