  3. Each month's ending inventory must equal 20% of the cost of next month's sales. The cost of goods sold is 60% of sales. The company pays for 30% of its merchandise purchases in the month of the purchase and the remaining 70% in the month following the purchase. All of the accounts payable at June 30 will be paid in July.
  4. Monthly selling and administrative expenses are always $60,000. Each month $5,000 of this total amount is depreciation expense and the remaining $55,000 relates to expenses that are paid in the month they are incurred.
