The company makes 10 percent of its sales for cash and 90 percent on credit. Of the credit sales, 20
percent are collected in the month after the sale and 80 percent are collected two months later.
Archer pays for 40 percent of its purchases in the month after purchase and 60 percent two months after.
Labor expense equals 10 percent of the current month’s sales. Overhead expense equals $12,000 per
month. Interest payments of $30,000 are due in June and September. A cash dividend of $50,000 is
scheduled to be paid in June. Tax payments of $25,000 are due in June and September. There is a
scheduled capital outlay of $300,000 in September.
Archer Electronics’s ending cash balance in May is $20,000. The minimum desired cash balance is $10,000.
Prepare a schedule of monthly cash receipts, monthly cash payments, and a complete monthly cash budget
with borrowing and repayments for June through September. The maximum desired cash balance is $50,000.
Excess cash (above $50,000) is used to buy marketable securities. Marketable securities are sold before
borrowing funds in case of a cash shortfall (less than $10,000).

The Manning Company has financial statements, which are representative of the company’s historical average.
The firm is expecting a 20 percent increase in sales next year, and management is concerned about the
company’s need for external funds. The increase in sales is expected to be carried out without any expansion
of fixed assets, but rather through more efficient asset utilization in the existing store. Among liabilities, only
current liabilities vary directly with sales.
Using the percent-of-sales method, determine whether the company has external financing needs or a surlpus
of funds. (Hint: A profit margin and payout ratio must be found from the income statement.)
