3. 10% of merchandise inventory purchases are paid in cash at the time of the purchase. The remaining 90% of purchases are credit purchases. All purchases on credit are paid in the month subsequent to the purchase. The accounts payable at March 31 will be paid in April.
4. Each month's ending merchandise inventory should equal $10,000 plus 50% of the next month's cost of goods sold.
5. Depreciation expense is $1,400 per month. All other selling and administrative expenses are paid in full in the month the expense is incurred.
