Blossom Cleaners markets its carpet shampooer primarily to new homeowners, suggesting that it will help their carpet last longer. Most customers who buy the products agree and are eager to put the new equipment to work. Approximately 3% of customers have a change of heart, however, and return it within the same month of purchase for a full refund. Blossom sells its shampooers for $161 each, while Blossom's supplier charges the company $106 per unit. December sales are expected to be 255 units, and January sales are expected to be 275 units. Blossom is fortunate enough to maintain adequate cash, so it takes advantage of a 2% discount by paying within 10 days of the purchase; Blossom makes its purchases at the beginning of each month. Ending inventory is maintained at 20% of the next month's sales. Determine Blossom's budgeted cash payments for purchases in December. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5,125.36.)
