Cash budgets under two alternatives (Learning Objectives 2 & 3)
Each autumn, as a hobby, Joann Denton weaves cotton placemats to sell at a local craft shop. The mats sell for $20 per set of four mats. The shop charges a 15% commission and remits the net proceeds to Denton at the end of December. Denton has woven and sold 22 sets in each of the last two years. She has enough cotton in inventory to make another 22 sets. She paid $8 per set for the cotton. Denton uses a four-harness loom that she purchased for cash exactly two years ago. It is
Denton is considering buying an eight-harness loom so that she can weave more intricate patterns in linen. The new loom costs $1,000; it would be depreciated at $20 per month. Her bank has agreed to lend her $1,000 at 9% interest, with $200 principal plus accrued interest payable each December 31.

- Direct Labor Budget for Service The School of Accounting (SOA) at State University is planning its annual fundraising campaign for accounting alumni. This year, the SOA is planning a call-a-thon and will ask Beta Alpha Psi members to volunteer to make phone calls to a list of 7,000 alumni. The Dean's office has agreed to let Beta Alpha Psi use their offices from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. each weekday so that they will have access to phones. Each volunteer will be provided with a phone and a script with an introduction and suggested responses to various questions that had been asked in the past. Carol Johnson, Beta Alpha Psi faculty advisor, estimates the following: Of the 7,000 phone numbers, roughly 10 percent will be wrong numbers (because alumni change addresses and phone numbers without updating State University). In that case, the student is instructed to apologize to the answering party, hang up, and move on to the next phone number. Each of these calls takes about three minutes.
