Northeast Auto Parts, a family-owned auto parts store, began January with $10,600 cash. Management forecasts that collections from credit customers will be $11,300 in January and $14,700 in February.The store is scheduled to receive $6,500 cash on a business note receivable in January. Projected cash payments include inventory purchases ($14,400 in January and $12,200 in February) and selling and administrative expenses ($3,500 each month). Northeast Auto Parts's bank requires a $10,000 minimum balance in the store's checking account. At the end of any month when the account balance falls below $10,000, the bank automatically extends credit to the store in multiples of $1,000. Northeast Auto Parts borrows as little as possible and pays back loans in quarterly installments of $2,500, plus 33% APR interest on the entire unpaid principal. The first payment occurs three months after the loan.
