Each unit needs two coils. The coils can be difficult to get at times, so the company has determined that it must have 20% of the required springs at the start of each period. The Company had 16,000 springs in inventory at the beginning of October. JL Corp has determined it needs 8,000 springs at the end of December.

Accounts Payable at the beginning of October was $80,000 all of which was paid in October. EXTRA CREDIT: What is Accounts Payable at the end of December?
