Admire is a retail company that sells specialized gardening products. The company is considering opening a new store on October 1, Year1. As budget coordinator, you have been asked to prepare a master budget for the first 3 months of the company’s operation. You have gathered the following information:

October sales are estimated to be $300000 of which 45 percent will be cash and the remainder will be on credit. The company expects all sales to increase at the rate of 20 percent per month for November and December. Sales in January Year 2 are expected to be $250000.

The company expects to collect 100 percent of the accounts receivable generated by credit sales in the month following the sale.

Prepare a sales budget and a schedule of cash receipts using these facts and your excel template. Check your answers here before moving to the next part, by completing the cells requested in the chart below.

The cost of goods sold is 60 percent of sales. The company desires to maintain a minimum ending inventory equal to 10 percent of the next month’s cost of goods sold. (Ending inventory for December is based on budgeted January Year2 sales.)

Assume that all inventory purchases are made on account (on credit). The company pays 80 percent of accounts payable in the month of purchase and the remaining amount in the following month.

In excel, prepare an inventory purchases budget and a cash payments budget for inventory purchases. Use the check figures below before you continue.

Budgeted selling and administrative expenses per month follow.

• Salary expense (fixed): $ 28200
• Sales commissions:  5 percent of Sales
• Supplies expense:   2 percent of Sales
• Utilities (fixed): $2600              
• Depreciation on store equipment (fixed)*:   You compute    
• Rent (fixed) $ 11000          
• Miscellaneous (fixed): $ 3500      

*The capital expenditures budget indicates that the company will spend $182400 on October 1 for store fixtures, which are expected to have a $24000 residual value and a 36 month useful life.

Utilities and sales commissions are paid the month after they are incurred; all other expenses are paid in the month in which they are incurred.

In excel, prepare the selling and administrative expenses budget and the cash payments budget for selling and administrative expenses. Check the key figures below.

Admire issued common stock for $50000 on October 5.

A dividend of $28000 was paid on December 15.

The company borrows and repays funds in increments of $1,000 on the last day of the month. The company also pays its vendors on the last day of the month. It pays interest of 1 percent per month in cash on the last day of the month. To be prudent, the company desires to maintain a $16000 cash cushion.

Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 8%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $108 to purchase these supplies.

For years, Worley believed that the 8% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits, Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown:

Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (each hospital purchased medical supplies that had cost Worley $36,000 to buy from manufacturers):

Required:

1. Compute the total revenue that Worley would receive from University and Memorial.

2. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.

3. Compute the total activity costs that would be assigned to University and Memorial.

4. Compute Worley’s customer margin for University and Memorial. (Hint: Do not overlook the $36,000 cost of goods sold that Worley incurred serving each hospital.)

Describe the role of scenario analysis within the discipline of risk management. (10)

Green Grow Inc. (GGI) manufactures lawn fertilizer. Because of the product’s very high quality, GGI often receives special orders from agricultural research groups. For each type of fertilizer sold, each bag is carefully filled to have the precise mix of components advertised for that type of fertilizer. GGI’s operating capacity is 22,000 one-hundred-pound bags per month, and it currently is selling 20,000 bags manufactured in 20 batches of 1,000 bags each. The firm just received a request for a special order of 5,000 one-hundred-pound bags of fertilizer for $130,000 from APAC, a research organization. The production costs would be the same, but there would be no variable selling costs. Delivery and other packaging and distribution services would cause a one-time $2,500 cost for GGI. The special order would be processed in two batches of 2,500 bags each.Page 447 (No incremental batch-level costs are anticipated. Most of the batch-level costs in this case are short-term fixed costs, such as salaries and depreciation.) The following information is provided about GGI’s current operations: Sales and production cost data for 20,000 bags, per bag: Sales price $40 Variable manufacturing costs 17 Variable selling costs 3 Fixed manufacturing costs 12 Fixed marketing costs 4 No marketing costs would be associated with the special order. Because the order would be used in research and consistency is critical, APAC requires that GGI fill the entire order of 5,000 bags. Required What is the total relevant cost of filling this special sales order, rounded to nearest whole dollar? What would be the change in operating income (to nearest whole dollar) if the special order is accepted? What is the break even selling price per unit for the special sales order (i.e., what is the selling price that would result in a zero effect on operating income)? Round answer to 2 decimal places. Prepare comparative income statements, using the contribution format, for both the current situation and assuming the special order is accepted at the break even price determined in requirement 3. Suppose that after GGI accepts the special order, it finds that unexpected production delays will not allow it to supply all 5,000 units from its own plants and meet the promised delivery date. It can provide the same materials by purchasing them in bulk from a competing firm. The materials would then be packaged in GGI bags to complete the order. GGI knows the competitor’s materials are very good quality, but it cannot be sure that the quality meets its own exacting standards. There is not enough time to carefully test the competitor’s product to determine its quality. What should GGI do? Specifically, discuss ethical and strategic issues associated with the decision.
