GrowMaster Products, a rapidly growing distributor of home gardening equipment, is formulating its plans for the coming year. Carol Jones, the firm’s marketing director, has completed the following sales forecast. Month Sales Month Sales January $900,000 July $1,500,000 February $1,000,000 August $1,500,000 March $900,000 September $1,600,000 April $1,150,000 October $1,600,000 May $1,250,000 November $1,500,000 June $1,400,000 December $1,700,000 Phillip Smith, an accountant in the Planning and Budgeting Department, is responsible for preparing the cash flow projection. He has gathered the following information. ● All sales are made on credit. ● GrowMaster’s excellent record in accounts receivable collection is expected to continue, with 60% of billings collected in the month after sale and the remaining 40% collected two months after the sale. ● Cost of goods sold, GrowMaster’s largest expense, is estimated to equal 40% of sales dollars. Seventy percent of inventory is purchased one month prior to sale and 30% during the month of sale. For example, in April, 30% of April cost of goods sold is purchased and 70% of May cost of goods sold is purchased. ● All purchases are made on account. Historically, 75% of accounts payable have been paid during the month of purchase, and the remaining 25% in the month following purchase. ● Hourly wages and fringe benefits, estimated at 30% of the current month’s sales, are paid in the month incurred. ● General and administrative expenses are projected to be $1,550,000 for the year. A breakdown of the expenses follows. All expenditures are paid monthly throughout the year, with the exception of property taxes, which are paid in four equal installments at the end of each quarter. Salaries and fringe benefits $ 324,000 Advertising 372,000 Property taxes 136,000 Insurance 192,000 Utilities 180,000 Depreciation 346,000 Total $ 1,550,000 ● Operating income for the first quarter of the coming year is projected to be $320,000. GrowMaster is subject to a 40% tax rate. The company pays 100% of its estimated taxes in the month following the end of each quarter. ● GrowMaster maintains a minimum cash balance of $50,000. If the cash balance is less than $50,000 at the end of the month, the company borrows against its 12% line of credit in order to maintain the balance. All borrowings are made at the beginning of the month, and all repayments are made at the end of the month (in increments of $1,000). Accrued interest is paid in full with each principal repayment. The projected cash balance on April 1 is $50,000.

3. The spending multiplier effect
Consider a hypothetical economy. Households spend $0.75 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.25. The spending multiplier for this economy is.
Suppose investment in this economy increases by $100 billion. The increase in investment will lead to an increase in income, generating an increase in consumption that increases income yet again, and so on.
Fill in the following table to show the impact of the change in investment on the first two rounds of consumption spending and, eventually, on total spending and income.
| Change in Investment |
| = |
| $100 billion |
| First Change in Consumption |
| = |
| billion | |
| Second Change in Consumption |
| = |
| billion | |
