    O I know I gave it a try, I didn't mean for my question to sound like I wanted to have my homework did for me, so I found the cash collections I think, and I also found the COGS for November is 234,000, December 222,000, and January 228,000. The beginning inventory for each month is the following: November 163,800, December 155,400. Is that right? Also the cash collections for November I got 369,500 and December 352,000, I don't know if that's right, but I did the sales from November (390,000*.9) plus the 5% of sales from December which is 185,000 and got the 369,500 for November. As for December I did (370.000*.9) plus (380,000*.05) and that's how I got 352,000 for the month of December.

    For the merchandise purchases budget the desired ending inventory for November is 155,400 and for December is 159,600, which means the requiered purchases for November are 225,600 and for December is 226,200 is any of this correct? I'm stuck on the income statement.
