During the last week of August, Oneida Company's owner approaches the bank for a $101,000 loan to be made on September 2 and repaid on November 30 with annual interest of 14%, for an interest cost of $3,535. The owner plans to increase the store's inventory by $60,000 during September and needs the loan to pay for inventory acquisitions. The bank's loan officer needs more information about Oneida's ability to repay the loan and asks the owner to forecast the store's November 30 cash position. On September 1, Oneida is expected to have a $4,500 cash balance, $115,500 of net accounts receivable, and $100,000 of accounts payable. Its budgeted sales, merchandise purchases, and various cash payments for the next three months follow.

All merchandise is purchased on credit: 80% of the balance is paid in the month following a purchase, and the remaining 20% is paid in the second month.
