Problem
The Shelby Company is in the building construction business. In 2001 it is expected that 40 percent of a month’s sales will be collected in cash, with the balance being received the following month. Of the purchases, 50 percent are paid the following month, 30 percent are paid in two months, and the remaining 20 percent are paid during the month of purchase.
The sales force receives $2,000 a month base pay plus a 2 percent commission (received in the month following the sale). Labor expenses are expected to be $3,000 a month for all of the other employees. Other operating expenses are expected to be $2,500 a month, including $500 for depreciation. The ending cash balance for 2000 was $5,500.

2001 – Budgeted
