Question

During the last week of August, Apache Arts Company%u2019s owner approaches the bank for an $100,000 loan to be made on September 2 and repaid on November 30 with annual interest of 17%, for an interest cost of $4,250. The owner plans to increase the store%u2019s inventory by $60,000 during September and needs the loan to pay for inventory acquisitions. The bank%u2019s loan officer needs more information about Apache Arts%u2019 ability to repay the loan and asks the owner to forecast the store%u2019s November 30 cash position. On September 1, Apache Arts is expected to have a $4,000 cash balance, $145,000 of accounts receivable, and $100,000 of accounts payable. Its budgeted sales, merchandise purchases, and various cash disbursements for the next three months follow.

The budgeted September merchandise purchases include the inventory increase. All sales are on account. The company predicts that 28% of credit sales is collected in the month of the sale, 43% in the month following the sale, 23% in the second month, 5% in the third, and the remainder is uncollectible. Applying these percents to the August credit sales, for example, shows that $113,950 of the $265,000 will be collected in September, $60,950 in October, and $13,250 in November. All merchandise is purchased on credit; 60% of the balance is paid in the month following a purchase, and the remaining 40% is paid in the second month. For example, of the $125,000 August purchases, $75,000 will be paid in September and $50,000 in October.

Prepare a cash budget for September, October, and November for Apache Arts Company. (Input all amounts as positive values. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
