a$.$ The gross margin is $25\%$ of sales.

f$.$ Monthly expenses are as follows: commissions, $12\%$ of sales; rent, $$2,200$ per month; other expenses $($excluding depreciation$),6\%$

of sales. Assume these expenses are paid monthly. Depreciation is $$945$ per month $($includes depreciation on new assets$).$

g$.$ Equipment costing $$1,400$ will be purchased for cash in April.

h$.$ Management would like to maintain a minimum cash balance of at least $$4,000$ at the end of each month. The company has an

agreement with a local bank allowing it to borrow in increments of $$1,000$ at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan balance

of $$20,000.$ The interest rate on these loans is $1\%$ per month and, for simplicity, we will assume interest is not compounded. The

company would, as far as it is able, repay the loan plus accumulated interest at the end of the quarter.
