Abacus Company sells its product for $210 per unit. Its actual and projected sales follow.

	Units	Dollars
April (actual)	6,500	$1,365,000
May (actual)	2,400	504,000
June (budgeted)	7,500	1,575,000
July (budgeted)	4,500	945,000
August (budgeted)	4,100	861,000

All sales are on credit. Recent experience shows that 26% of credit sales is collected in the month of the sale, 44% in the month after the sale, 26% in the second month after the sale, and 4% proves to be uncollectible. The products purchase price is $110 per unit. All purchases are payable within 13 days. Thus, 60% of purchases made in a month is paid in that month and the other 40% is paid in the next month. The company has a policy to maintain an ending monthly inventory of 22% of the next months unit sales plus a safety stock of 90 units. The April 30 and May 31 actual inventory levels are consistent with this policy. Selling and administrative expenses for the year are $1,896,000 and are paid evenly throughout the year in cash. The companys minimum cash balance at month-end is $84,000. This minimum is maintained, if necessary, by borrowing cash from the bank. If the balance exceeds $84,000, the company repays as much of the loan as it can without going below the minimum. This type of loan carries an annual 11% interest rate. On May 31, the loan balance is $33,000, and the companys cash balance is $84,000.
