3. 10% of merchandise inventory purchases are paid in cash at the time of the purchase. The remaining 90% of purchases are credit purchases. All purchases on credit are paid in the month subsequent to the purchase.
4. Each month’s ending merchandise inventory should equal $10,000 plus 50% of the next month’s cost of goods sold.
5. Depreciation expense is $1,000 per month. All other selling and administrative expenses are paid in full in the month the expense is incurred.
