Need help with the steps/breakdown on solving the below problem;
Aztec Company sells its product for $170 per unit. Its actual and projected sales follow.
Units Dollars
April (actual) 6,000 $1,020,000
May (actual) 3,000 510,000
June (budgeted) 6,000 1,020,000
July (budgeted) 6,500 1,105,000
August (budgeted) 3,600 612,000
All sales are on credit. Recent experience shows that 28% of credit sales is collected in the month of the sale, 42% in the month after the sale, 26% in the second month after the sale, and 4% proves to be uncollectible. The products purchase price is $110 per unit. All purchases are payable within 11 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 months unit sales plus a safety stock of 110 units. The April 30 and May 31 actual inventory levels are consistent with this policy. Selling and administrative expenses for the year are $1,680,000 and are paid evenly throughout the year in cash. The companys minimum cash balance at month-end is $130,000. This minimum is maintained, if necessary, by borrowing cash from the bank. If the balance exceeds $130,000, 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 $32,000, and the companys cash balance is $130,000.
