Dynamic Futon forecasts the following purchases from suppliers:

Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May Jun.
Value of goods ($ millions) 37 33 30 27 25 25
a. Sixty percent of goods are supplied cash-on-delivery. The remainder are paid with an average delay of 1 month. If Dynamic Futon starts the year with payables of $27 million, what is the forecasted level of payables for each month?
b. Suppose that, from the start of the year, the company stretches payables by paying 50% after 1 month and 20% after 2 months. (The remainder continue to be paid cash-on-delivery.) Recalculate payables for each month assuming that there are no cash penalties for late payment. Assume that Dynamic Futon didn't have any payable balance at the start of the year.
