All sales are made on credit.
GrowMaster’s excellent record in accounts receivable collection is expected to continue, with
60 percent of billings collected in the month after sale and the remaining 40 percent collected
two months after the sale.
Cost of goods sold, GrowMaster’s largest expense, is estimated to equal 40 percent of sales
dollars. Seventy percent of inventory is purchased one month prior to sale and 30 percent
during the month of sale. For example, in April, 30 percent of April cost of goods sold is
purchased and 70 percent of May cost of goods sold is purchased.
All purchases are made on account. Historically, 75 percent of accounts payable have been
paid during the month of purchase, and the remaining 25 percent in the month following
purchase.
Hourly wages and fringe benefits, estimated at 30 percent of the current month’s sales, are
paid in the month incurred.
General and administrative expenses are projected to be $1,573,400 for the year. A
breakdown of the expenses follows. All expenditures are paid monthly throughout the year,
with the exception of property taxes, which are paid in four equal installments at the end of
each quarter.
