Sixty percent of billings are collected the month after the sale, and the remaining 40 percent two months after. The purchase of electronic components is Alpha-Tech's largest expenditure, and each month's cost of goods sold is estimated to be 40 percent of sales. Seventy percent of the parts are received by Alpha-Tech one month prior to sale, and 30 percent are received during the month of sale. Historically, 70 percent of accounts payable has been paid one month after receipt of the purchased components, and the remaining 30 percent has been paid two months after receipt. Hourly wages and fringe benefits, estimated to be 30 percent of the current month's sales, are paid in the month incurred. General and administrative expenses are projected to be $16,420,000 for the year. The breakdown of these expenses is presented in the following schedule. All cash expenditures are paid uniformly throughout the year, except the property taxes, which are paid in four equal installments at the end of each quarter. 20x5 Forecasted General and Administrative Costs (in thousands) Salaries and fringe benefits $ 3,400 Promotion 4,100 Property taxes 1,420 Insurance 1,240 Utilities 2,000 Depreciation 4,260 Total $ 16,420 Income-tax payments are made at the beginning of each calendar quarter based on the income of the prior quarter.
