Accounts receivable	2X
Inventory	6X
Plant and equipment	1X

All \)450,000 of the sales will be collectible. However, collection costs will be 6 percent of sales, and production and selling costs will be 71 percent of sales. The cost to carry inventory will be 4 percent of inventory. Depreciation expense on plant and equipment will be 5 percent of plant and equipment. The tax rate is 30 percent.

The collection cost is $27,000.

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathrm{Collection}\mathrm{cost}& =& \mathrm{Sales}脳\mathrm{Collection}\mathrm{costs}\\ & =& \$450,000脳6\%\\ & =& \$27,000\end{array}$

03

Calculation of production and selling cost

The production and selling cost is $319,500.

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathrm{Production}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{selling}\mathrm{cost}& =& \mathrm{Sales}脳\mathrm{Production}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{selling}\mathrm{cost}\\ & =& \$450,000脳71\%\\ & =& \$319,500\end{array}$

04

Calculation of total collection and production and selling cost

The total collection and production and selling cost is $346,500.

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{cost}& =& \mathrm{Collection}\mathrm{cost}+\mathrm{Production}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{selling}\mathrm{cost}\\ & =& \$27,000+\$319,500\\ & =& \$346,500\end{array}$
