Budgeting Assumptions:

60% of sales are cash sales and 40% of sales are credit sales. Twenty percent of all credit sales are collected in the month of sale and the remaining 80% are collected in the month subsequent to the sale.

Budgeted sales for July are $218,000.

10% of merchandise inventory purchases are paid in cash at the time of the purchase. The remaining 90% of purchases are credit purchases. All purchases on credit are paid in the month subsequent to the purchase.

Each months ending merchandise inventory should equal $10,000 plus 50% of the next months cost of goods sold.

Depreciation expense is $1,800 per month. All other selling and administrative expenses are paid in full in the month the expense is incurred.

Required:

1. Calculate the expected cash collections for April, May, and June.

3. Calculate the expected cash disbursements for merchandise purchases for April, May, and June.
