The company desires a minimum ending cash balance each month on $35,000. The beard grooming products are sold to retailers for $20 each and the sales have been stagnant due to the Covid-19. However, the marketing department has been positive toward the end of the year due to season change and upcoming holiday. The marketing department has just sent you their forecasted quarter sales and marketing budget.

Quarter	2020 Q4	2021 Q1	2021 Q2	2021 Q3	2021 Q4	2022 Q1
Sales in Unit	30,000	35,000	40,000	65000	68000	70,000

The increased sales volume before and during June and January is due to Father’s Day and holidays with AATB being a favorite. Ending finished goods inventories are supposed to be equal to 20% of the next month’s sales in units. AATB currently does its own assembly production in house. Each unit consists of 3 shaves and the cost of each is $1.50. Each unit needs 0.10 labor hour from assemble to finish package. The hourly pay rate to the assembling workers is $15 per hour. The production manager also required desired direct material ending inventory to 30% of the next quarter production.

• Purchases are paid for in the following manner: 50% in the quarter of the purchase and the remaining 50% paid in the quarter following the purchase. All sales to the distributors are made on credit terms with no discount (for now), and payable within 15 days. The AATB has determined that only 50% of sales are collected by the end of the quarter in which the sale occurred. An additional 30% is collected in the quarter following the sale, and the remaining 20% is collected in the second quarter following the sale. Bad debts have been negligible, supporting the credit terms as favorable.

An agreement with Bank of the West allows AATB to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan amount of $550,000. The interest rate on these loans is 12% annually (pretty high considering market rates) but the interest is not compounded, meaning this is simple interest only.
