You have just been hired as a new management trainee by Earrings Unlimited, a distributor of earrings to various retail outlets located n shopping malls across the country. In the past, the company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has experienced a shortage of cash. Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided to prepare a master budget for the upcoming second quarter. To this end, you have worked with accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled Delow. The company sells many styles of earrings, but all are sold for the same price-$15 per pair.

Only 20% of a month's sales are collected in the month of sale. An additional 70% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale.
