Logan Township acquired its water system from a private company on June 1. No
receivables were acquired with the purchase. Therefore, total accounts receivable on
June 1 had a zero balance.
Logan plans to bill customers in the month following the month of sale, and 70% of the
resulting billings will be collected during the billing month. In the next following month,
90% of the remaining balance should be collectable. The remaining uncollectible
amounts will relate to citizens who have moved away. Such amounts are never
expected to be collected and will be written off.
Water sales during June are estimated at $4,000,000, and expected to increase 30% in
July. August sales will be 10% less than July sales.

(a)

For each dollar of sales, how much is expected to be collected?

(b)

Estimate the monthly cash collections for June, July, August, and September.

(c)

As of the end of August, how much will be the estimated amount of
receivables from which future cash flows are anticipated?

The chief financial officer for Cast In Stone concrete products had previously established a
line of credit with a local bank that enables Cast In Stone to borrow 80% of the company's
inventory balance. The company currently has 1,000 units in stock, and is performing "on
budget." The budget anticipated that direct labor cost would be $15 per hour, and factory
overhead is applied to production based on $7.50 per direct labor hour. Each unit requires
2.5 labor hours and 800 pounds of direct material. The direct material costs $0.10 per
pound.

Determine the amount of credit available under the borrowing agreement.
