Need some help with part of my homework please...Total Assets and a Cash Budget.

I did a,b and c but cannot seem to figure out how to do part d and e. I asked this question on here before but did not receive the right answer. Could someone please help me out again thanks!

Cash sales are 40 percent in a given month, with the remainder going into accounts receivable. All receivables are collected in the month following the sale. Esquire sells all of its goods for $2 each and produces them for $1 each. Esquire uses level production, and average monthly production is equal to annual production divided by 12.

Total Sales 264,000

December Sales are 20,000

c.) Determine a cash payment schedule for January through December. The production cost ($1 per unit produced) are paid for in the month which they occur. Other cash payments are $7,400 per month.

d.) Construct a cash budget for January through December using the cash receipts schedule from part b and the cash payments schedule from part c. The beginning cash balance is 3000, which is the minimum desired.

I tried to do part d and this is what I came up with but I know it's wrong. I know for a fact that the numbers for October are right because my professor gave them to me to help me out. However, I am still having problems with this question.
