The company has a policy to maintain an ending monthly inventory of 19% of the next month's unit sales plus a safety stock of 165 units. The April 30 and May 31 actual inventory levels are consistent with this policy. Selling and administrative expenses for the year are $1,860,000 and are paid evenly throughout the year in cash. The company's minimum cash balance at month-end is $110,000. This minimum is maintained, if necessary, by borrowing cash from the bank. If the balance exceeds $110,000, the company repays as much of the loan as it can without going below the minimum. This type of loan carries an annual 10% interest rate. On May 31, the loan balance is $41,000, and the company's cash balance is $110,000.
