The selling price of the swim fins is $50 per pair.

b.       All sales are on account. Based on past experience, sales are expected to be collected in the following pattern:

The beginning accounts receivable balance (excluding uncollectible amounts) on July 1 will be $130,000.

c.        The company maintains finished goods inventories equal to 10% of the following month’s sales. The inventory of finished goods on July 1 will be 600 pairs.
