Harrys Carryout Stores has eight locations. The firm wishes to expand by two more stores and needs a bank loan to do this. Mr. Wilson, the banker, will finance construction if the firm can present an acceptable three-month financial plan for January through March. The following are actual and forecast sales figures:

Actual	Forecast	Additional Information
November $700,000	January $780,000	April forecast $590,000
December 720,000	February 820,000
	March 600,000

THIS IS ALL OF THE INFORMATION I WAS GIVEN FOR THIS QUESTION, I ACTUALLY PLUGGED IN THE NUMBERS FOR THE SALES MY SELF! Of the firms sales, 50 percent are for cash and the remaining 50 percent are on credit. Of credit sales, 45 percent are paid in the month after sale and 55 percent are paid in the second month after the sale. Materials cost 30 percent of sales and are purchased and received each month in an amount sufficient to cover the following months expected sales. Materials are paid for in the month after they are received. Labor expense is 40 percent of sales and is paid for in the month of sales. Selling and administrative expense is 20 percent of sales and is paid in the month of sales. Overhead expense is $46,000 in cash per month.

Depreciation expense is $12,500 per month. Taxes of $10,500 will be paid in January, and dividends of $14,500 will be paid in March. Cash at the beginning of January is $130,000, and the minimum desired cash balance is $125,000.
