Bad debts are projected at 1% of quarterly sales. There is a -0- balance in the AFDA account.

c. The company requires an ending inventory of finished units on hand at the end of each quarter equal to 20% of the budgeted sales for the next quarter. This requirement was met on December 31, 19x8.  (The company had 600 units on hand to start the new-year).

d. Two pounds (2lbs) of raw materials are required to complete one unit of product. The company requires an ending inventory of raw materials on hand at the end of each quarter equal to 10% of the production needs of the following quarter. This requirement was met on December 31, 19x8.  (The company had 620 lbs of raw materials on hand to start the new-year). Quarter 1 of the next year (year 2000) is estimated at 10,200 lbs needed for production.

e. The raw material costs $4.00 per pound.

Fixed costs per quarter are: Supervisory Salaries $20,000, Depreciation $3,800, Property Taxes & Insurance $9,000 and Maintenance $5,700. Overhead is applied to production on the basis of direct labor hours. The annual rate is $8 per hour.
