60% is collected in the first month after the month of sale and 40% in
the second month after the month of sale. For the December 31, 2011, accounts
receivable balance, $62,500 is collected in January and the remaining $200,000
is collected in February.

value. The following amounts for new equipment purchases are planned in the
coming quarter: January, $18,000; February, $48,000; and March,
$14,400. This equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line

with cash on the last day of the month.

working arrangement with its bank to obtain additional loans as needed. The
interest rate is 12% per year, and interest is paid at each month-end based on
