Chris Corporation prepares its master budget on a quarterly basis. The following data have been assembled to assist in the preparation of the master budget for the second quarter of 2019:

1. Actual sales for March and budgeted sales for the next four months are as follows:

March $120,000

April 180,000

May 190,000

June 130,000

July 110,000

1. The company's gross profit rate is 44 percent of sales.
2. Monthly expenses are budgeted as follows: salaries and wages, $12,000 per month; advertising, $15,000 per month; utilities, 2 percent of sales; depreciation, $8,000 per month; other expense, 3 percent of sales; and rent, $17,000 per month.
3. At the end of each month, inventory is to be on hand equal to 25 percent of the following month's sales needs, stated at cost.
4. Seventy percent of a month's inventory purchases are paid for in the month of purchase; the rest is paid for in the following month.
5. Sales are 40 percent for cash and the rest on account. All sales on account are collected the month following sale. The accounts receivable on March 31 are a result of March credit sales.
6. As of March 31, 2019 (the end of the prior quarter), the company's general ledger showed the following account balances:

Debits Credits

Cash $25,000 Accounts Receivable 75,000

1. In May, the company will purchase a new copy machine for $25,000 in cash. During June, other equipment will be purchased for cash at a cost of $20,000. Assume there will be no equipment purchases in April 2019.
2. During April and May, the company will declare and pay $14,000 in cash dividends per month. Assume no dividends will be paid in June of 2019.
3. The company must maintain a minimum cash balance of $7,500. An open line of credit is available at a local bank for any borrowing that may be needed during the quarter. All borrowing is done at the beginning of a month, and all repayments are made at the end. Borrowings and repayments of principal must be in multiples of $1,000. Interest is paid at the end of each month. The interest rate is 12 percent per annum. (Figure interest in whole months, e.g., 1/12, 2/12.)
