Total cash collections : september cash sales , payments to suppliers: Excess (deficiency) of cash available over disbursements = 8,000 units + 75,000 (next months sales) x 20% Sales) x 20: during july and august the company is building inventories in anticipation of peak sales in. In september and oc- tober inventories are being reduced in anticipation of a decrease in sales during the last months of the year. Therefore, production is less than sales during these months to cut back on inventory levels. * 48,400 units (october production) 4 kgs. per unit = 193,600 kgs. As shown in part (1), production is greatest in september. However, as shown in the raw ma- terial purchases budget, the purchases of materials is greatest a month earlier because materi- als must be on hand to support the heavy production scheduled for september.
