The company's collection experience has been that 30% of a month's sales are collected in the month of sale, 68% are collected in the month following the sale, and 2% are uncollectible. It is expected that the net realizable value of accounts receivable (i.e., accounts receivable less allowance for uncollectible accounts) will be $680,680 on September 30, 2016. Management's policy is to maintain ending finished goods inventory each month at a level equal to 30% of the next month's budgeted sales.

The raw materials inventory is expected to be 22,176 pounds on September 30, 2016. The cost per pound of raw material is $6, and 70% of all purchases are paid for in the month of purchase; the remainder is paid in the following month. The accounts payable for raw material purchases is expected to be $100,267 on September 30, 2016.
