The following data relates to the operations of Picanny Corporation, a wholesale distributor of consumer goods:

Current assets as of December 31:

Cash $6,000

Accounts receivable $36,000

Inventory $9,800

Buildings and equipment, net $110,885

Accounts payable $32,550

Capital stock $110,000

Retained earnings $30,135

The gross margin is 30% of sales. (In other words, cost of goods sold is 70% of sales.)

Actual and budgeted sales data are as follows:

December (actual) $60,000

January $70,000

February $80,000

March $85,000

April $55,000

Sales are 40% for cash and 60% on credit. Credit sales are collected in the month following sale. The accounts receivable at December 31 are the result of December credit sales.

Each months ending inventory should equal 20% of the following months budgeted cost of goods sold.

One-quarter of a months inventory purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other three-quarters is paid for in the following month. The accounts payable at December 31 are the result of December purchases of inventory.

Monthly expenses are as follows: commissions, $12,000; rent, $1,800; other expenses (excluding depreciation), 8% of sales. Assume that these expenses are paid monthly. Depreciation is $2,400 for the quarter and includes depreciation on new assets acquired during the quarter.

Equipment will be acquired for cash: $3,000 in January and $8,000 in February.

Management would like to maintain a minimum cash balance of $5,000 at the end of each month. The company has an agreement with the local bank that allows the company to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning if each month, up to a total loan balance of $50,000. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month, and for simplicity, we will assume that interest is no compounded. The company would as far as it is able, repay the loan plus accumulated interest at the end of the quarter.
