The Doley Company has planned the following sales for the next three months:

Month of sale	60%
First month following sale	30%
Second month following sale	8%
Uncollectible	2%

The company requires a minimum cash balance of $5,000 to start a month. The beginning cash balance in March is budgeted to be $7,000.
