In addition, the most expensive part for the cell phone is the touchscreen.
Point 2: Because that part is essential and has stock-out issues, Comptel requires 25% of the following month's production requirements to be held in ending inventory. Each touchscreen costs $9.00. Inventory of touchscreens as at December 31 of the previous year was 24,750 units. Comptel's customers have historically paid their account balances as follows: 15% of total sales pay cash, 20% pay in the month of purchase, 16% pay in the month following purchase, 19% pay in the second month after purchase, and 28% pay in the third month after purchase. The 2% balance remains as bad debts. The customers that paid in cash receive a 1% discount. Intermediate Management Accounting Project 2 3 / 5
