Each month's sales are expected to exceed the prior month's results by 5%. The product's selling price is $15 per unit.Company policy calls for a given month's ending inventory to equal 80% of the next month's expected unit sales. The December 31 2012 inventory is 9,400 units, which complies with the policy.

One month's purchases are fully paid in the next month.The minimum ending cash balance for all months is $140,000. If necessary, the company borrows enough cash using a short-term note to reach the minimum. Short-term notes require an interest payment of 1% at each month-end (before any repayment).
