Past experience indicates that customers usually settle their balances as follows: - 60% of a month's credit sales are collected in the month of sale; and - the remaining 40% of a month's credit sales are collected in the following month. 3. All purchases are made on credit, 50% are paid in the month of purchase and 50% will be settled in the month following purchase. Budgeted inventory purchases are: 55 January 550,000 February 460,000 March 575,000 4. Other budgeted cash disbursements: (i) Purchase of equipment in February for $45,000 in cash; (ii) Selling and administrative expenses of $28,000 per month; and (iii) Dividends of $35,000 to be paid in March. 5. The cash balance as at 1 February 2020 was $5 0,000. It is the company policy to maintain the minimum cash balance at $50,000 at the end of each month.
