Budget schedules for a manufacturer. Hale Specialties manufactures, among other things, woolen blankets for the athletic teams of the two local high schools. The company sews the blankets from fabric and sews on a logo patch purchased from the licensed logo store site. The teams are as follows:
- Broncos, with red blankets and the Broncos logo
- Rams, with black blankets and the Rams logo
Also, the black blankets are slightly larger than the red blankets.
The budgeted direct-cost inputs for each product in 2017 are as follows:
Broncos Blanket | Rams Blanket | |
Red wool fabric | 5 yards | 0 yards |
Black wool fabric | 0 | 6 |
Broncos logo patches | 1 | 0 |
Rams logo patches | 0 | 1 |
Direct manufacturing labor | 4 hours | 5 hours |
Unit data pertaining to the direct materials for March 2017 are as follows:
Actual Beginning Direct Materials Inventory (3/1/2017)
Broncos Blanket | Rams Blanket | |
Red wool fabric | 40 yards | 0 yards |
Black wool fabric | 0 | 20 |
Broncos logo patches | 50 | 0 |
Rams logo patches | 0 | 65 |
Target Ending Direct Materials Inventory (3/31/2017)
Broncos Blanket | Rams Blanket | |
Red wool fabric | 30 yards | 0 yards |
Black wool fabric | 0 | 20 |
Broncos logo patches | 30 | 0 |
Rams logo patches | 0 | 30 |
Unit cost data for direct-cost inputs pertaining to February 2017 and March 2017 are as follows:
February 2017 (actual) | March 2017 (budgeted) | |
Red wool fabric (per yard) | $10 | $11 |

Broncos Blankets | Rams Blankets | |
Beginning inventory in units | 14 | 19 |
Beginning inventory in dollars (cost) | $1,960 | $2,945 |
Target ending inventory in units | 24 | 29 |
Budgeted sales for March 2017 are 140 units of the Broncos blankets and 195 units of the Rams blankets. The budgeted selling prices per unit in March 2017 are $305 for the Broncos blankets and $378 for the Rams blankets. Assume the following in your answer:
- Work-in-process inventories are negligible and ignored.
- Direct materials inventory and finished-goods inventory are costed using the FIFO method.
- Unit costs of direct materials purchased and finished goods are constant in March 2017.
- 1. Prepare the following budgets for March 2017:
Required
- a. Revenues budget
- b. Production budget in units
- c. Direct material usage budget and direct materials purchases budget
- d. Direct manufacturing labor costs budget
- e. Manufacturing overhead costs budget

- What does anti-dilutive mean? How might a security be anti-dilutive with respect to its potential impact on EPS?arrow_forward[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Delph Company uses job-order costing with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company estimated that 50,000 machine-hours would be required for the period’s estimated level of production. It also estimated $910,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $1.80 per machine-hour. Because Delph has two manufacturing departments—Molding and Fabrication—it is considering replacing its plantwide overhead rate with departmental rates that would also be based on machine-hours. The company gathered the following information to enable calculating departmental overhead rates: Molding Fabrication Total Machine-hours 20,000 30,000 50,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 700,000 $ 210,000 $ 910,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 3.00 $ 1.00 During the year, the…arrow_forwardsolve the attached questionsarrow_forward

- Scenario Bradburn Corporation was formed five years ago through a public subscription of common stock. Daniel Brown, who owns 15% of the common stock, was one of the organizers of Bradburn and is its current president. The corporation has been successful, but it currently is experiencing a shortage of funds. On June 10, 2026, Daniel Brown approached the Topeka National Bank, asking for a 24-month extension on two $35,000 notes, which are due on June 30, 2026, and September 30, 2026. Another note of $6,000 is due on March 31, 2027, but he expects no difficulty in paying this note on its due date.
