The following are actual and forecasted sales figures:

    

Of the firm’s sales, 50 percent are for cash and the remaining 50 percent are on credit. Of credit sales, 50 percent are paid in the month after sale and 50 percent are paid in the second month after the sale. Materials cost 40 percent of sales and are purchased and received each month in an amount sufficient to cover the following month’s expected sales. Materials are paid for in the month after they are received. Labor expense is 30 percent of sales and is paid for in the month of sales. Selling and administrative expense is 20 percent of sales and is also paid in the month of sales. Overhead expense is $36,000 in cash per month.
  
Depreciation expense is $11,600 per month. Taxes of $9,600 will be paid in January, and dividends of $10,000 will be paid in March. Cash at the beginning of January is $112,000, and the minimum desired cash balance is $107,000.
