Mr Grob started trading in 20X3, selling one product, wheelbarrows, on credit to small retail outlets. The following budgeted information for 20X4 has been gathered:
January 20X4 February 20X4 March 20X4
Credit sales $12,000 $15,000 $21,000
Receivables have recently been settling their debts 50% in the month following sale; and 50% two months after sale. A prompt payment discount of 3% is offered to those receivables paying within one month.
The gross profit margin is expected to be 25%. Due to an anticipated continued increase in sales, Mr Grob intends to increase inventory levels in March 20X4 by $2,000, and it is intended that the payables balance is increased by $3,000 to ease cash flow in the same month.
