   Cash Budget

   LeeAnn Ortiz owns a retail store that sells new and used sporting equipment. LeeAnn has requested a cash budget for October. After examining the records of the company, you find the following:

   1. Cash balance on October 1 is $1,110.
   2. Actual sales for August and September are as follows:

      		August		September
      Cash sales		$6,000		$4,500
      Credit sales		58,000		62,000
      Total sales		$64,000		$66,500

   3. Credit sales are collected over a three-month period: 40 percent in the month of sale, 36 percent in the next month, and 22 percent in the second month after the sale. The remaining sales are uncollectible.
   4. Inventory purchases average 70 percent of a month's total sales. Of those purchases, 45 percent are paid for in the month of purchase. The remaining 55 percent are paid for in the following month.
   5. Salaries and wages total $3,850 per month.
   6. Rent is $3,150 per month.
   7. Taxes to be paid in October are $1,635.
