Oakley Wholesale Hardware and Supplies (OWHS) sells tools, lumber, and other remodeling supplies to commercial contractors. The company controller is compiling cash and other budget information for July, August, and September. On June 30, the company had inventories of $485,000. OWHS sells a wide variety of products, but for budgeting and inventory planning purposes, the company has developed a standard "unit" of inventory that reflects roughly the mix and purchase costs of the items found in inventory and expected sales volume. The inventory value of $485,000 reported above is based on these inventory units. Each inventory unit is assumed to have a purchase price from vendors (for planning purposes) of $40. This number is not expected to change in the next three months. The budget is to be based on the following assumptions: • Each month's sales are billed on the last day of the month. • Customers are allowed a 5 percent discount if payment is made within 10 days after the billing date. Receivables are recorded in the accounts at their gross amounts (not net of discounts). • The billings are collected as follows: 75 percent within the discount period, 15 percent by the end of the month, and 8 percent by the end of the following month. Two percent is uncollectible. Purchase data are as follows: • For both purchases of inventory merchandise and selling, general, and administrative expenses, 70 percent is paid in the month purchased and the remainder in the following month. • The number of units in each month's ending inventory equals 90 percent of the next month's units of sales. • Selling, general, and administrative expenses, of which $17,000 is depreciation, equal 20 percent of the current month's sales. • Actual and projected sales follow: Dollars Units May $ 684,400 20,400 June 706,000 20,800 July 689,200 20,600 August 658,800 19,800 September 693,000 20,700 October 704,400 21,000 Required: a.
