Comprehensive Master (Operating) Budget

Bee Gee Distributors, a wholesale company, is considering whether to open a new distribution center near Bowling Green, Ohio. The center would open January 1, 2020. The economic outlook is reasonable, but extensive advance planning is required if such a commitment is to be made. As a part of the planning process, The Board of Directors requires a Master (i.e. Operating) Budgetfor the center’s first quarter of operations(i.e. January, February & March of 2020).  In order to prepare anybudget, management must make reasonable assumptions about expected sales, inventory levels and cash flows.  

SALES BUDGET: “What is the Profit Plan?”

        ** It all starts with a sales forecast **

a.     January sales are estimated to be $400,000 of which $100,000 (25%) will be cash and $300,000 will be on credit.  Management expects the above sales pattern to continue with an overall grow rate of 10% per month.  Prepare a sales budget.

b.     The company expects to collect 100% of the accounts receivable in the month following the month of the sale.  Prepare a schedule of expected cash receipts.

c.     Use the information developed above in requirements a and bto determine the amount of accounts receivable on the March 31 pro forma balance sheet and the amount of sales on the first quarter pro forma income statement.

_____________________________________________________________________

PURCHASES BUDGET: “What are our total needs, less what do we have”?

d.     Cost of goods sold will be 60% of sales.  Company policy is to budget an ending inventory balance equal to 25% of the next month’s projected cost of goods sold.  Prepare an inventory purchases budget.

Note: For March analysis needs, Aprilcost of goods sold is expected to be $314,000.

e.     All inventory purchases are on account.  The company pays 70% of accounts payable in the month of purchase. It pays the remaining 30% in the following month.  Prepare a schedule of expected cash payments for inventory purchases.

f.     Use the information developed above in requirements d and eto determine the amount of cost of goods sold on the first quarter pro forma income statement and the amounts of ending inventory and accounts payable on the March 31 pro forma balance sheet.

ADMINISTRATIVE & SALES EXPENSE BUDGET:

g.     Budgeted monthly selling and administrative expenses are:

Salary Expense

$24,000

Sales Commissions

5% of Sales

Supplies Expense

2% of Sales

Utilities

$ 1,400

Depreciation on New Equipment (see note below*)

             ?   

Rent

$ 3,600

Miscellaneous

$    900

         *The capital expenditures budget shows that Bee Gee must purchase $100,000 of equipment on January 1 to establish the new center.  Since the equipment supplier allows a thirty-day trial period, assume Bee Gee will pay for the equipment in January (i.e. by 1/31).  Using Straight-line depreciation, the equipment is expected to have a 10-year useful life and a $10,000 salvage value.  

            SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE BUDGET:

h.     Sales commissions and utilities are paid in the month after the month in which they are incurred.  All other expenses are paid in the month in which they are incurred.  Prepare a schedule of cash payments for selling and administrative expenses.

To prepare a master budget for April, May, and June of 2015, management gathers the following information:

  • Sales for March total 20,500 units. Forecasted sales in units are as follows: April, 20,500; May, 19,500; June, 20,000; and July, 20,500. Sales of 240,000 units are forecasted for the entire year. The product's selling price is $23.85 per unit and its total product cost is $19.85 per unit
  • Company policy calls for a given month's ending raw materials inventory to equal 50% of the next month's materials requirements. The March 31 raw materials inventory is 4,925 units, which complies with the policy. The expected June 30 ending raw materials inventory is 4,000 units. Raw materials cost $20 per unit. Each finished unit requires 0.50 units of raw materials.
  • Company policy calls for a given month's ending finished goods inventory to equal 80% of the next month's expected unit sales. The March 31 finished goods inventory is 16,400 units, which complies with the policy.
  • Each finished unit requires 0.50 hours of direct labor at a rate of $15 per hour.
  • Overhead is allocated based on direct labor hours. The predetermined variable overhead rate is $2.70 per direct labor hour. Depreciation of $20,000 per month is treated as fixed factory overhead.
  • Sales representatives' commissions are 8% of sales and are paid in the month of the sales. The sales manager's monthly salary is $3,000.
  • Monthly general and administrative expenses include $12,000 administrative salaries and 0.9% monthly interest on the long-term note payable.
  • The company expects 30% of sales to be for cash and the remaining 70% on credit. Receivables are collected in full in the month following the sale (none is collected in the month of the sale).
  • All raw materials purchases are on credit, and no payables arise from any other transactions. One month's raw materials purchases are fully paid in the next month.
  • The minimum ending cash balance for all months is $40,000. If necessary, the company borrows enough cash using a short-term note to reach the minimum. Short-term notes require an interest payment of 1% at each month-end (before any repayment). If the ending cash balance exceeds the minimum, the excess will be applied to repaying the short-term notes payable balance.
  • Dividends of $10,000 are to be declared and paid in May.
  • No cash payments for income taxes are to be made during the second calendar quarter. Income tax will be assessed at 35% in the quarter and paid in the third calendar quarter.
  • Equipment purchases of $130,000 are budgeted for the last day of June.

Required

Prepare the following budgets and other financial information as required. All budgets and other financial information should be prepared for the second calendar quarter, except as otherwise noted below. Round calculations up to the nearest whole dollar, except for the amount of cash sales, which should be rounded down to the nearest whole dollar.
