The Doley Company has planned the following sales for the next three months:

January February March
Budgeted Sales $40,000 $50,000 $70,000

Sales are made 20% for cash and 80% on account. From experience, the company has learned that a month’s sales on account are collected according to the following pattern:

Month of sale 60%
First month following sale 30%
Second month following sale 8%
Uncollectible 2%

The company requires a minimum cash balance of $5,000 to start a month. The beginning cash balance in March is budgeted to be $6,000.

Required

Inventory purchases (all paid in cash in March) $28,000
