(Four parts remaining) We really need to get this new material handling equipment in operation just after the new year begins. I hope we can finance it largely with cash and marketable securities, but if necessary we can get a short term loan down at Metro bank. This Statement by Beth Davies Lowry president of Global Electronics Company, concluded a meeting she had called with the firm s top management. Global is a small, rapidly growing wholesaler of consumer electronic products. The firms main product lines are small kitchen appliances and power tools.

Jack Hanson the assistant controller is the preparing a monthly budget for the first quarter of 2021. In the process the following information has been accumulated

Projected sales for December 2020 are 800,000. Credit sales typically are 75% of total sales. Company credit experience indicates that 10% of the credit sales are collected during the month of sales and the remainder are collected during the following month.
Company cost of goods sold generally runs at 70% of sales. Inventory is purchase on account and 40% of each month s purchase is paid during the month of purchase. The remainder is paid during the following month. In order to have adequate stocks of inventory on hand the firm attempts to have inventory at the end of each month equal to half of the next moths projected cost of goods sold.
Hasson has estimated that Company monthly expense will be as follow:

Sales salaries 42,000

Advertising and promotion 32,000

Administrative salaries 42,000

Depreciation 50,000

Interest on bonds 5,000

Property taxes 1,800

In addition, sales commission run at the rate of 1% of sales.

Company president has indicated that the firm should invest 250,000 in an automated inventory handling system to control the movement of inventory in the firm s warehouse just after the new year begins. These equipment purchase will be finance primarily from the firm cash and marketable securities. However, president believes that the company needs to keep minimum cash balance of 50,000. If necessary, the remainder of the equipment purchase will be financed using the short term credit from local bank. The minimum period for such a loan is three months. Hanson believes short term interest rate will be 10% per year at the time of equipment purchase. If a loan is necessary President has decided it should be paid off by the end of the first quarter if possible.
Company board of directors has indicated an intention to declare and pay dividends of 100,000 on the last day of each quarter
The interest on any short term borrowing will be paid when the loan is repaid. Interest on bonds is paid semiannually on January 31 and July 31 for the preceding six- month
