The assembly is sold to engine manufacturers and aircraft maintenance facilities. Projected sales in units for the coming 5 months follow: The following data pertain to production policies and manufacturing specifications followed by Allison Manufacturing: a. Finished goods inventory on January 1 is 32,000 units, each costing 166.06. The desired ending inventory for each month is 80% of the next months sales. b. The data on materials used are as follows: Inventory policy dictates that sufficient materials be on hand at the end of the month to produce 50% of the next months production needs. This is exactly the amount of material on hand on December 31 of the prior year. c. The direct labor used per unit of output is 3 hours. The average direct labor cost per hour is 14.25. d. Overhead each month is estimated using a flexible budget formula. (Note: Activity is measured in direct labor hours.) e. Monthly selling and administrative expenses are also estimated using a flexible budgeting formula. (Note: Activity is measured in units sold.) f. The unit selling price of the subassembly is 205. g. All sales and purchases are for cash. The cash balance on January 1 equals 400,000. The firm requires a minimum ending balance of 50,000. If the firm develops a cash shortage by the end of the month, sufficient cash is borrowed to cover the shortage. Any cash borrowed is repaid at the end of the quarter, as is the interest due (cash borrowed at the end of the quarter is repaid at the end of the following quarter). The interest rate is 12% per annum. No money is owed at the beginning of January. Required: 1. Prepare a monthly operating budget for the first quarter with the following schedules. (Note: Assume that there is no change in work-in-process inventories.) a. Sales budget b. Production budget c. Direct materials purchases budget d. Direct labor budget e. Overhead budget f. Selling and administrative expenses budget g. Ending finished goods inventory budget h. Cost of goods sold budget i. Budgeted income statement j. Cash budget 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Form a group with two or three other students. Locate a manufacturing plant in your community that has headquarters elsewhere. Interview the controller for the plant regarding the master budgeting process. Ask when the process starts each year, what schedules and budgets are prepared at the plant level, how the controller forecasts the amounts, and how those schedules and budgets fit in with the overall corporate budget. Is the budgetary process participative? Also, find out how budgets are used for performance analysis. Write a summary of the interview.arrow_forwardCASH 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_forward
