Demand for the product usually starts from first week of December till first week of January and reduces sharply thereafter. For this reason, and to stimulate sales for leftovers, the product is sold at a significantly reduced price from the second week of January to the fourth week of January.

- Refer to Exercise 8.24. Del Spencers purchases clothing evenly throughout the month. All purchases are on account. On the first of every month, Jana Spencer, Dels wife, pays for all of the previous months purchases. Terms are 2/10, n/30 (i.e., a 2 percent discount can be taken if the bill is paid within 10 days; otherwise, the entire amount is due within 30 days). The forecast purchases for the months of May through September are as follows: Required: 1. Prepare a cash disbursements schedule for the months of August and September. (Round all cash amounts to the nearest dollar.) 2. Now, suppose that Del wants to see what difference it would make to have someone pay for any purchases that have been made three times per month, on the 1st, the 11th, and the 21st. Prepare a cash disbursements schedule for the months of July and August assuming this new payment schedule. (Round all cash amounts to the nearest dollar.) 3.
