Retail outlets purchase winter coats from ZYX, Inc., throughout the year. Howeve

Question

Retail outlets purchase winter coats from ZYX, Inc., throughout the year. However, in anticipating of late summer and early fall purchases, outlets ramp up inventories from May through August. Outlets are billed when coats are ordered. Invoices are payable within 60 days. From past experience, ZYX's accountant projects 28% of invoices will be paid in the month invoiced, 52% will be paid in the following month, 19% of invoices will be paid two months after the month of invoice. The average selling price per coat is $450.

To meet demand, ZYX increases production from April through July, because the coats are manufactured a month prior to their projected sale. Direct materials are purchased in the month of production and are paid for during the following month (terms are payment in full within 30 days of the invoice date). During this period there is no production for inventory, and no materials are purchased for inventory.

Direct manufacturing labor and manufacturing overhead are paid monthly. Variable manufacturing overhead is incurred at the rate of $8 per direct manufacturing labor-hour. Variable marketing costs are driven by the number of sales visits. However, there are no sales visits during the months studied. ZYX, Inc., also incurs fixed manufacturing overhead costs of $6,000 per month and fixed nonmanufacturing overhead costs of $4,000 per month.
