The company is in the process of preparing a budget for October and has assembled the following data:

Sales are budgeted at $240,000 for October and $250,000 for November. Of these sales, 35% will be for cash; the remainder will be credit sales. Forty percent of a month’s credit sales are collected in the month the sales are made, and the remaining 60% is collected in the following month. All of the September 30 accounts receivable will be collected in October.

The budgeted cost of goods sold is always 45% of sales and the ending merchandise inventory is always 30% of the following month’s cost of goods sold.

All merchandise purchases are on account. Thirty percent of all purchases are paid for in the month of purchase and 70% are paid for in the following month. All of the September 30 accounts payable to suppliers will be paid during October.
