Question

The Sharpe Corporation's projected sales for the first eight months of 2014 are as follows:

Aug. $ 149,300

Of Sharpe's sales, 10% is for cash, another 60% is collected in the month following the sale, and 30% is collected in the second month. November and December sales for 2013 are $219,900 and $175,800, respectively. Sharpe purchases its new materials two months in advance of its sales equal to 60% of thier final sales price. The supplier is paid one month after it makes delivery. For example, purchases in April sales are made in Febuary and payment is made in March. In addition, Sharpie pays $11,000 per month for rent and $20,800 each month for other expendentures. Tax prepayments of $23,300 are made each quarter, beginning in March.

The company's cash balance at December 31, 2013, was $21,100; a minimum balance of $15,000 must be maintained at all times. Assume that any short term financing need to maintain the cash balance is paid off in the month of financing if sufficient funds are available. Interest on short-term loans (11%) is paid monthly. Borrowing to meet estimated monthly cash needs takes place at the beginning of the month. Thus, if in the month of April the firm expects to have a need for an additional $69,590, these funds would be borrowed at the beginning of April with interest of $638 (i.e., 0.11 x 1/12 x $69,590) owed for April being paid at the beginning of May.

A) Prepare a cash budget for Sharpe covering the first seven months of 2014..

This is what I have so far: The months of April, May, and June I have a "?" in the area in which I am having problems in.
