72. T. Jackson Retail seeks your assistance to develop cash and other budget information for
May, June, and July. At April 30, the company had cash of $5,500, accounts receivable of $437,000,
inventories of $309,400, and accounts payable of $133,055. The budget is to be based on the
following assumptions:
SALES:
Each month’s sales are billed on the last day of the month. Customers are allowed a 3% discount
if payment is made within 10 days after the billing date. Receivables are recorded in the accounts
at their gross amounts (not net of discounts). 55% of the billings are collected within the discount
period; 30% are collected by the end of the month; 9% are collected by the end of the second
month; and 6% turn out to be uncollectible.
PURCHASES:
60% of all purchases of merchandise and the marketing, general, and administrative expenses are
paid in the month purchased and the remainder in the following month. The number of units in
each month’s ending inventory is equal to 125% of the next month’s units of sales. The cost of
each unit of inventory is $30. Marketing, general, and administrative expenses, of which $3,000 is
depreciation, are equal to 15% of the current month’s sales.
Actual and projected sales are as shown below:
