Annual Interest rate = 8.89%

La Famiglia Pizzeria provided the following information for the month of October:
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a

The cash receipts in October are as follows:

Cash Sales:

85% of $157,000

= 0.85 * $157,000

= $133,450

Payments on September credit sales:

$181,500 * 28% * (80 - 75)%

= $181,500 *0.28 * 15%

= $181,500 * 0.28 * 0.15

= $7,623

Payments on October credit sales** 16,485

$157,000 * 70% * (85 - 70)%

$157,000 * 0.7 * 15%

= $157,000 * 0.7 * 0.15

= $16,485

Total cash expected = $133,450 + $7,623 + $16,485 = $157,558

b.

Payments for food purchases is as follows:

September

($130,000 × 0.75) = $97,500

October

($116,000 × 0.25) = 29,000

Total cash needed for June = $97,500 + $29,000 = $126,500

c.

The inventory is as follows:

Beginning balance $2,147

Cash receipts $157,558

Cash available $159,705

The following items will be subtracted:

Food purchases $126,500

Shareholder's Dividend $6,000

Workers’ wages in September $730 ---- 10% of $7,300

Workers’ wages re: October $6,570 --- 90% of $7,300

Utilities $5,590

Insurance $1,200

Rent $4,100

Total disbursements $150,690

Ending balance

= $159,705 - $150,690

= $9,015
