E22-24 Preparing an operating budget

Dunbar Company manufactures drinking glasses. One unit is a package of 8 glasses,

which sells for $20. Dunbar projects sales for April will be 3,000 packages, with

sales increasing by 100 packages per month for May, June, and July. On April 1,

Dunbar has 250 packages on hand but desires to maintain an ending inventory of

10% of the next month’s sales. Prepare a sales budget and a production budget for

Dunbar for April, May, and June.

 

 

E22A-32 Preparing an operating budget

Tremont, Inc. sells tire rims. Its sales budget for the nine months ended September

30, 2014, follows:

Quarter Ended Nine-Month

Total

March 31 June 30 September 30

Cash sales, 20% $ 24,000 $ 34,000 $ 29,000 $ 87,000

Credit sales, 80% 96,000 136,000 116,000 348,000

Total sales $ 120,000 $ 170,000 $ 145,000 $ 435,000

In the past, cost of goods sold has been 40% of total sales. The director of marketing

and the financial vice president agree that each quarter’s ending inventory

should not be below $20,000 plus 10% of cost of goods sold for the following

quarter. The marketing director expects sales of $220,000 during the fourth quarter.

The January 1 inventory was $32,000. Prepare an inventory, purchases, and cost of

goods sold budget for each of the first three quarters of the year. Compute cost of

goods sold for the entire nine-month period.

 

P22-56 Preparing a financial budget

This problem continues the Davis Consulting, Inc. situation from Problem P21-63 of

Chapter 21. Assume Davis Consulting began January with $29,000 cash. Management

forecasts that cash receipts from credit customers will be $49,000 in January and

$51,500 in February. Projected cash payments include equipment purchases ($17,000

in January and $40,000 in February) and selling and administrative expenses ($6,000

each month).

Davis’s bank requires a $20,000 minimum balance in the firm’s checking account.

At the end of any month when the account balance falls below $20,000,

the bank automatically extends credit to the firm in multiples of $5,000. Davis

borrows as little as possible and pays back loans each month in $1,000 increments,

plus 5% interest on the entire unpaid principal. The first payment occurs one

month after the loan.

Requirements

1. Prepare Davis Consulting’s cash budget for January and February 2013.

2. How much cash will Davis borrow in February if cash receipts from customers

that month total $21,500 instead of $51,500?
