Management forecasts that collections from credit customers will be $11,000 in January and $15,200 in February. The store is scheduled to receive $8,500 cash on a business note receivable in January. Projected cash payments include inventory purchases ($15,600 in January and $14,800 in February) and selling and administrative expenses ($2,900 each month). Leichter Auto Parts's bank requires a $10,000 minimum balance in the store's checking account.

Leichter Auto Parts borrows as little as possible and pays back loans in quarterly installments of $2,000, plus 4% APR interest on the entire unpaid principal. The first payment occurs three months after the loan.
