Sales forecast $500 $490 $460 $510 $510

Paymore’s customers pay their bills with a 2­month delay. Therefore, on average, two­fourths of sales are collected in the quarter that they are sold, and two­fourths are collected in the following quarter. Assume that sales in the last quarter of the previous year were $460.

Paymore’s labor and administrative expenses are $62 per quarter and that interest on long­term debt is $40 per quarter.

Suppose that Paymore’s cash balance at the start of the first quarter is $19 and its minimum acceptable cash balance is $40.

Sales forecast $510 $500 $470 $520 $520

The firm pays for its goods with a 1­month delay. Therefore, on average, three­fourths of purchases are paid for in the quarter that they are purchased, and one­fourth are paid in the following quarter.

Paymore’s customers pay their bills with a 2­month delay. Therefore, on average, two­fourths of sales are collected in the quarter that they are sold, and two­fourth are collected in the following quarter. Assume that sales in the last quarter of the previous year were $470.

Paymore’s labor and administrative expenses are $70 per quarter and that interest on long­term debt is $42 per quarter.
