Combined cash budget and a budgeted balance sheet (Learning Objective 3)

Fairview Medical Supply has applied for a loan. First American Bank has requested a budgeted balance sheet at April 30 and a combined cash budget for April. As Fairview Medical Supply’s controller, you have assembled the following information:

1. a. March 31 equipment balance, $52,700; accumulated depreciation, $41,100
2. b. April capital expenditures of $42,700 budgeted for cash purchase of equipment
3. c. April depreciation expense, $500
4. d. Cost of goods sold, 60% of sales
5. e. Other April operating expenses, including income tax, total $13,400, 30% of which will be paid in cash and the remainder accrued at April 30
6. f. March 31 owners’ equity, $93,600
7. g. March 31 cash balance, $40,100
8. h. April budgeted sales, $91,000, 70% of which is for cash. Of the remaining 30%, half will be collected in April and half in May.
9. i. April cash collections on March sales, $29,200
10. j. April cash payments of March 31 liabilities incurred for March purchases of inventory, $17,100
11. k. March 31 inventory balance, $29,800
12. l. April purchases of inventory, $10,100 for cash and $36,800 on credit. Half of the credit purchases will be paid in April and half in May

Requirements

1. 1. Prepare the budgeted balance sheet for Fairview Medical Supply at April 30. Show separate computations for cash, inventory, and stockholders’ equity balances.
2. 2. Prepare the combined cash budget for April.
3. 3. Suppose Fairview Medical Supply has become aware of more efficient (and more expensive) equipment than it budgeted for purchase in April. What is the total amount of cash available for equipment purchases in April, before financing, if the minimum desired ending cash balance is $19,000? (For this requirement, disregard the $42,700 initially budgeted for equipment purchases.)
4. 4. Before granting a loan to Fairview Medical Supply, First American Bank asks for a sensitivity analysis assuming that April sales are only $60,667 rather than the $91,000 originally budgeted. (While the cost of goods sold will change, assume that purchases, depreciation, and the other operating expenses will remain the same as in the earlier requirements.)
   1. a. Prepare a revised budgeted balance sheet for the company, showing separate computations for cash, inventory, and stockholders’ equity balances.
   2. b. Suppose Fairview Medical Supply has a minimum desired cash balance of $20,000. Will the company need to borrow cash in April?
