Cruises, Inc. has budgeted sales revenues as follows:

Past experience indicates that 60% of the credit sales will be collected in the month of sale and the remaining 40% will be collected in the following month. Purchases of inventory are all on credit and 50% is paid in the month of purchase and 50% in the month following purchase. Budgeted inventory purchases are:
June $300,000 July 240,000 August 105,000
Other cash disbursements budgeted: (a) selling and administrative expenses of $48,000 each month, (b) dividends of $103,000 will be paid in July, and (c) purchase of equipment in August for $30,000 cash.

The company wishes to maintain a minimum cash balance of $50,000 at the end of each month. The company borrows money from the bank at 6% interest if necessary to maintain the minimum cash balance. Borrowed money is repaid in months when there is an excess cash balance. The beginning cash balance on July 1 was $50,000. Assume that borrowed money in this case is for one month.
