The company has a policy to maintain an ending monthly inventory of 23% of the next months unit sales plus a safety stock of 180 units. The April 30 and May 31 actual inventory levels are consistent with this policy. Selling and administrative expenses for the year are $1,596,000 and are paid evenly throughout the year in cash. The companys minimum cash balance at month-end is $120,000. This minimum is maintained, if necessary, by borrowing cash from the bank. If the balance exceeds $120,000, the company repays as much of the loan as it can without going below the minimum. This type of loan carries an annual 12% interest rate. On May 31, the loan balance is $34,500, and the companys cash balance is $120,000.
