Question

) XYZ, Inc. had actual sales of $150,000 in February and $160,000 in March. The firm’s managers estimate that sales in April, May, June and July will be $175,000, $180,000, $185,000, and $190,000, respectively. Purchases are 40% of the next month’s sales. Sales receipt patterns indicate that 60% of sales are received the same month as the sale. 30% are collected one month later and 10% are collected two months later. 50% of purchases are paid in the same month as the purchase and 50% are paid the following month. Assume that the firm has no other charges (either in Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable) during these months.
