The company expects to sell about 15% of its merchandise for cash. Of sales on account, 65% are expected to be collected in full in the month following the sale and the remainder the following month. Depreciation, insurance, and property tax expense represent $7,000 of the estimated monthly manufacturing costs.

All sales and administrative expenses are paid in the month incurred.

Current assets as of January 1 include cash of $55,000, marketable securities of $79,000, and accounts receivable of $168,950 ($128,000 from December sales and $40,950 from November sales). Sales on account in November and December were $117,000 and $128,000, respectively. Current liabilities as of January 1 include a $73,000, 12%, 90-day note payable due March 20 and $7,000 of accounts payable incurred in December for manufacturing costs. All selling and administrative expenses are paid in cash in the period they are incurred. It is expected that $4,400 in dividends will be received in January. An estimated income tax payment of $21,000 will be made in February. Shoe Mart's regular quarterly dividend of $7,000 is expected to be declared in February and paid in March.
