Aztec Company sells its product for $ 180 per unit. Its actual and projected sales follow.

Aztec Company sells its product for $ 180 per unit.

All sales are on credit. Recent experience shows that 20% of credit sales is collected in the month of the sale, 50% in the month after the sale, 28% in the second month after the sale, and 2% proves to be un-collectible. The product€™s purchase price is $ 110 per unit. All purchases are payable within 12 days. Thus, 60% of purchases made in a month is paid in that month and the other 40% is paid in the next month. The company has a policy to maintain an ending monthly inventory of 20% of the next month€™s unit sales plus a safety stock of 100 units. The April 30 and May 31 actual inventory levels are consistent with this policy. Selling and administrative expenses for the year are $ 1,320,000 and are paid evenly throughout the year in cash. The company€™s minimum cash balance at month- end is $ 100,000. This minimum is maintained, if necessary, by borrowing cash from the bank. If the balance exceeds $ 100,000, the company repays as much of the loan as it can without going below the minimum. This type of loan carries an annual 12% interest rate. On May 31, the loan balance is $ 25,000, and the company€™s cash balance is $ 100,000. (Round amounts to the nearest dollar.)
