Sales are made 20% for cash and 80% on account. From experience, the company has learned that a month's sales on account are collected according to the following pattern:
|
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 $6,000.
