Purchases and Cash Budgets On July 1, MTC Wholesalers had a cash balance of $262,500 and accounts payable of $148,500. Actual sales for May and June, and budgeted sales for July, August, September, and October are:

Month	Actual Sales	Month	Budgeted Sales
May	$225,000	July	$ 135,000
June	240,000	August	120,000
		September	150,000
		October	180,000

All sales are on credit with 75 percent collected during the month of sale, 20 percent collected during the next month, and 5 percent collected during the second month following the month of sale. Cost of goods sold averages 70 percent of sales revenue. Ending inventory is one-half of the next month's predicted cost of sales. The other half of the merchandise is acquired during the month of sale. All purchases are paid for in the month after purchase. Operating costs are estimated at $42,000 each month and are paid during the month incurred.
