D$.$ Tomlinson Retail seeks your assistance in developing cash and other budget information for May, June, and July. The store expects to have the following balances at the end of April:

Cash $ $101,500$

Accounts receivable $922,000$

Inventories $593,400$

Accounts payable $290,168$

The firm follows these guidelines in preparing its budgets:

Sales. All sales are on credit with terms of $3/10,$ n$/30.$ Tomlinson bills customers on the last day of each month. The firm books receivables at gross amounts and collects $60\%$ of the billings within the discount period, $25\%$ by the end of the month, and $9\%$ by the end of the second month. The firm$$s experience suggests that $6\%$ is likely to be uncollectible and is written off at the end of the third month.

Purchases and expenses. All purchases and expenses are on open account. The firm pays its payables over a $2-$month period with $54\%$ paid in the month of purchase. Each month$$s units of ending inventory should equal $115\%$ of the next month$$s cost of sales. The cost of each unit of inventory is $$40.$ Selling, general, and administrative $($SG&A$)$ expenses, of which $$1,900$ is depreciation, equal $15\%$ of the current month$$s sales.
