(Cash budget) The Sharpe Corporations projected sales for the first 8 months of 2019 are shown in the corresponding table. January $190000 May $300000 February 120000 June 270000 March 135000 July 225000 April 240000 August 150000 Of Sharpes sales, 10 percent is for cash, another 60 percent is collected in the month following the sales, and 30 percent is collected in the second month following sales. November and December sales for 2018 were $220,000 and $175,000, respectively. Sharpe purchases its raw materials 2 months in advance of its sales. The purchases are equal to 60 percent of the final sales price of Sharpes products. The supplier is paid 1 month after it makes a delivery. For example, purchases for April sales are made in February, and payment is made in March. In addition, Sharpe pays $10,000 per month for rent and $20,000 each month for other expenditures. Tax prepayments of $22,500 are made each quarter, beginning in March. The companys cash balance on December 31, 2018, was $22,000. This is the minimum balance the firm wants to maintain. Any borrowing that is needed to maintain this minimum is paid off in the subsequent month if there is sufficient cash. Interest on short-term loans (12 percent) is paid monthly. Borrowing to meet estimated monthly cash needs takes place at the beginning of the month. Thus, if in the month of April the firm expects to have a need for an additional $60,500, these funds would be borrowed at the beginning of April with interest of $605 (0.12 * 1 / 12 * $60,500) owed for April and paid at the beginning of May. a.
