Problem -
1. Sales representatives' commissions are 10% of sales and are paid in the month of the sales. The sales manager's monthly salary is $3,100.
2. Monthly general and administrative expenses include $13,000 administrative salaries and 0.5% monthly interest on the long-term note payable.
3. The company expects 20% of sales to be for cash and the remaining 80% on credit. Receivables are collected in full in the month following the sale (none are collected in the month of the sale).
4. All raw materials purchases are on credit, and no payables arise from any other transactions. One month's raw materials purchases are fully paid in the next month.
