Timpco, a retailer, makes both cash and credit sales (i.e., sales on open account). Information regarding budgeted sales for the last quarter of the year is as follows:

                                 October                    November                  December

Cash sales             $115,000                  $95,000                   $95,000

Credit sales           115,000                   114,000                    104,500

Total                   $230,000                   $209,000               $199,500

Point 1: Past experience shows that 5% of credit sales are uncollectible. Of the credit sales that are collectible, 60% are collected in the month of sale; the remaining 40% are collected in the month following the month of sale. Customers are granted a 1.5% discount for payment within 10 days of billing. Approximately 75% of collectible credit sales take advantage of the cash discount.

Point 2: Inventory purchases each month are 100% of the cost of the following month's projected sales. (The gross profit rate for Timpco is approximately 30%.) All merchandise purchases are made on credit, with 20% paid in the month of purchase and the remainder paid in the following month. No cash discounts for early payment are in effect.
