It desires an ending minimum cash balance of 5,000 each month. Sales are forecasted at an average wholesale selling price of 8 per kite.

On January 1st, purchases will cease until Stock reaches 6,000, after which time purchases will equal sales. Merchandise costs average 4 per kite. Purchases during any given month are paid in full during the following month. All sales are on credit, payable within 30 days, but experience has shown that 60% of current sales are collected in the current month, 30% in the next month, and 10% in the month thereafter. Bad debts are negligible.
