Baylor Company began its operations on March 31 of the current year. Projected manufacturing costs for the first three months of business are $156,800, $198,200, and $217,600, respectively, for April, May, and June.

Three-fourths of the remainder of the manufacturing costs are expected to be paid in the month in which they are incurred, with the balance to be paid in the following month.

May:

Manufacturing cost= 198,200 - 28,800= $169,400

Cost for June= 169,400*0.25= 42,350

June:

Manufacturing cost= 217,600 - 28,800= $188,800

Cost from May= 42,350

Cost for July= 188,800*0.25= -47,200

Cash= $183,950
