Depreciation, insurance, and property tax expense represent $7,000 of the estimated monthly manufacturing costs. The annual insurance premium is paid in June, and the annual property taxes are paid in October. Of the remainder of the manufacturing costs, 85% are expected to be paid in the month in which they are incurred and the balance in the following month. All sales and administrative expenses are paid in the month incurred.
Current assets as of January 1 include cash of $38,000, marketable securities of $54,000, and accounts receivable of $116,000 ($88,000 from December sales and $28,000 from November sales). Sales on account in November and December were $80,000 and $88,000, respectively. Current liabilities as of January 1 include a $50,000, 12%, 90-day note payable due March 20 and $7,000 of accounts payable incurred in December for manufacturing costs.
