Question - On January 1, Easton Company had cash on hand of $85,000. All of January's $240,000 sales were on account. December sales of $234,000 were also all on account. Experience has shown that Easton typically collects 35% of receivables in the month of the sale and the balance the following month. All materials and supplies are purchased on account and Easton has a history of paying for half of these purchases in the month of purchase and half the following month. Such purchases were $174,000 for December and $169,000 for January.  All other expenses including wages are paid in the month incurred. These amounted to $42,000 in December and $68,000 in January. Use this information to determine the projected ending balance of cash on hand for January.
