months follow.
Sales are 50% cash and 50% on credit. Sales in March were $34,800. All credit sales are collected in the month following the sale. The
March 31 balance sheet includes balances of $17,400 in cash and $2,900 in loans payable. A minimum cash balance of $17,400 is

based on the beginning-of-the-month loan balance and is paid at each month-end. If a preliminary cash balance above $17,400 at
month-end exists, loans are repaid from the excess. Expenses are paid in the month incurred and include sales commissions 10% of
sales), shipping (2% of sales), office salaries ( $7,250 per month), and rent ( $4,350 per month).
