Burcicki, Jim: The author expenses the 10k in January. However, it states that the 10k will be purchased during the first quarter - first three months - in sufficient quantities to last the entire year. This should be a prepaid and then expensed during the year. With no set amoutns, I assumed an even distribution throughout the year. | 10,000 | 10,000 | 10,000 | ||||||||||||||
