- CASH BUDGETING Helen Bowers, owner of Helens Fashion Designs, is planning to request a line of credit from her bank. She has estimated the following sales forecasts for the firm for parts of 2019 and 2020: Estimates regarding payments obtained from the credit department are as follows: collected within the month of sale, 10%; collected the month following the sale, 75%; collected the second month following the sale, 15%. Payments for labor and raw materials are made the month after these services were provided. Here are the estimated costs of labor plus raw materials: General and administrative salaries are approximately 27,000 a month. Lease payments under long-term leases are 9,000 a month. Depreciation charges are 36,000 a month. Miscellaneous expenses are 2,700 a month. Income tax payments of 63,000 are due in September and December. A progress payment of 180,000 on a new design studio must be paid in October. Cash on hand on July 1 will be 132,000, and a minimum cash balance of 90,000 should be maintained throughout the cash budget period. a. Prepare a monthly cash budget for the last 6 months of 2019. b. Prepare monthly estimates of the required financing or excess fundsthat is, the amount of money Bowers will need to borrow or will have available to invest. c. Now suppose receipts from sales come in uniformly during the month (that is, cash receipts come in at the rate of 1/30 each day), but all outflows must be paid on the 5th. Will this affect the cash budget? That is, will the cash budget you prepared be valid under these assumptions? If not, what could be done to make a valid estimate of the peak financing requirements? No calculations are required, although if you prefer, you can use calculations to illustrate the effects. d. Bowers sales are seasonal, and her company produces on a seasonal basis, just ahead of sales. Without making any calculations, discuss how the companys current and debt ratios would vary during the year if all financial requirements were met with short-term bank loans. Could changes in these ratios affect the firms ability to obtain bank credit? Explain.arrow_forwardA companys sales for the coming months are as follows: About 20 percent of sales are cash sales, and the remainder are credit sales. The company finds that typically 10 percent of a months credit sales are paid in the month of sale, 70 percent are paid the next month, and 15 percent are paid in the second month after sale. Expected cash receipts in July are budgeted at what amount? a. 114,520 b. 143,150 c. 145,720 d. 156,000arrow_forwardCash Budget The controller of Feinberg Company is gathering data to prepare the cash budget for July. He plans to develop the budget from the following information: a. Of all sales, 40% are cash sales. b. Of credit sales, 45% are collected within the month of sale. Half of the credit sales collected within the month receive a 2% cash discount (for accounts paid within 10 days). Thirty percent of credit sales are collected in the following month; remaining credit sales are collected the month thereafter. There are virtually no bad debts. c. Sales for the second two quarters of the year follow. (Note: The first 3 months are actual sales, and the last 3 months are estimated sales.) d. The company sells all that it produces each month. The cost of raw materials equals 26% of each sales dollar. The company requires a monthly ending inventory of raw materials equal to the coming months production requirements. Of raw materials purchases, 50% is paid for in the month of purchase. The remaining 50% is paid for in the following month. e. Wages total 105,000 each month and are paid in the month incurred. f. Budgeted monthly operating expenses total 376,000, of which 45,000 is depreciation and 6,000 is expiration of prepaid insurance (the annual premium of 72,000 is paid on January 1). g. Dividends of 130,000, declared on June 30, will be paid on July 15. h. Old equipment will be sold for 25,200 on July 4. i. On July 13, new equipment will be purchased for 173,000. j. The company maintains a minimum cash balance of 20,000. k. The cash balance on July 1 is 27,000. Required: Prepare a cash budget for July. Give a supporting schedule that details the cash collections from sales.arrow_forward
- Analyze Johnson Stores staffing budget for holidays Johnson Stores is planning its staffing for the upcoming holiday season. From past history, the store determines that it needs one additional sales clerk for each 12,000 in daily sales. The average daily sales is anticipated to increase by 96,000 from Black Friday until Christmas Eve, or 27 shopping days. Each additional sales clerk will work an eight-hour shift and will be paid 14 per hour. A. Determine the amount to budget for additional sales clerks for the holiday season. B. If Johnson Stores has an average 40% gross profit on sales, should it add the staff suggested by your answer in (A)? That is, is it profitable to staff for the increased sales in (A)?arrow_forwardRelevant data from the Poster Companys operating budgets are: Additional data: Capital assets were sold in January for $10,000 and $4,500 in May. Dividends of $4,500 were paid in February. The beginning cash balance was $60,359 and a required minimum cash balance is $59,000. Use this information to prepare a cash budget for the first two quarters of the yeararrow_forwardPilsner Inc. purchases raw materials on account for use in production.

- One Device makes universal remote controls and expects to sell 500 units in January, 800 in February, 450 in March, 550 in April, and 600 in May. The required ending inventory is 20% of the next months sales. Prepare a production budget for the first four months of the year.arrow_forwardShalimar Company manufactures and sells industrial products.

Calculate cash sales and credit sales expected in the last two quarters of the current year, and in each quarter of next year. 2. Construct a cash receipts budget for Shalimar Company for each quarter of the next year, showing the cash sales and the cash collections from credit sales. 3. What if the recession led Shalimars top management to assume that in the next year 10 percent of credit sales would never be collected? The expected payment percentages in the quarter of sale and the quarter after sale are assumed to be the same. How would that affect cash received in each quarter? Construct a revised cash budget using the new assumption.arrow_forwardRehydrator makes a nutrition additive and expects to sell 3,000 units in January, 2,000 in February, 2,500 in March, 2,700 in April. and 2,900 in May. The required ending inventory is 20% of the next months sales, and the beginning inventory on January 1 was 600 units. Prepare a production budget for the first four months of the year.arrow_forward
