Sales were $770,000 in August and $840,000 in September. Material usage was $115,000 in August and $118,000 in September. All sales are on account, and accounts receivable is historically collected 15% in the month of sale, 65% in the month following sales, and the remainder two months after the sale. Materials are paid for 40% in the month used and 60% the following month. All other expenses are paid in the month incurred. The cash balance was $35,000 at the beginning of October, and management wants to determine if the company will have enough cash to pay a year-end bonus.
Prepare a three-month cash budget, including a schedule for cash collections and material payments.
