Financial Statements and the Closing Process Discussion

As the first quarter at your restaurant draws to a close, you must prepare your accounting records for a new period and a fresh start. Share with your classmates which accounts are permanent, which accounts are temporary, and why the closing entries must be completed in order for a new period to begin.

Decker Manufacturing is preparing its master budget for the first quarter of the upcoming year. The following data pertain to Decker Manufacturing's operations 1: Data Table Current Assets as of December 31 (prior year): Cash $ 4,600 Accounts receivable, net $ 46,000 Inventory $ 15,500 Property, plant, and equipment, net $ 123,000 Accounts payable $ 43,000 Capital stock $ 124,000 Retained earnings $ 22,700 a. Actual sales in December were $71,000. Selling price per unit is projected to remain stable at $12 per unit throughout the budget period. Sales for the first five months of the upcoming year are budgeted to be as follows: January $ 99,600 February $ 118,800 March $ 115,200 April $ 108,000 May $ 103,200 b. Sales are 35% cash and 65% credit. All credit sales are collected in the month following the sale. c. Decker Manufacturing has a policy that states that each month's ending inventory of finished goods should be 10% of the following month's sales (in units). d. Of each month's direct material purchases, 20% are paid for in the month of purchase, while the remainder is paid for in the month following purchase. Three pounds of direct material is needed per unit at $2.00 per pound. Ending inventory of direct materials should be 20% of next month's production needs. e. Most of the labor at the manufacturing facility is indirect, but there is some direct labor incurred. The direct labor hours per unit is 0.05. The direct labor rate per hour is $9 per hour. All direct labor is paid for in the month in which the work is performed. The direct labor total cost for each of the upcoming three months is as follows: January $ 3,807 February $ 4,442 March $ 4,293 f. Monthly manufacturing overhead costs are $5,500 for factory rent, $2,900 for other fixed manufacturing expenses, and $1.10 per unit for variable manufacturing overhead. No depreciation is included in these figures. All expenses are paid in the month in which they are incurred. g. Computer equipment for the administrative offices will be purchased in the upcoming quarter. In January, Decker Manufacturing will purchase equipment for $5,000 (cash), while February's cash expenditure will be $12,200 and March's cash expenditure will be $16,600. h. Operating expenses are budgeted to be $1.25 per unit sold plus fixed operating expenses of $1,800 per month. All operating expenses are paid in the month in which they are incurred. No depreciation is included in these figures. i. Depreciation on the building and equipment for the general and administrative offices is budgeted to be $5,000 for the entire quarter, which includes depreciation on new acquisitions. j. Decker Manufacturing has a policy that the ending cash balance in each month must be at least $4,000. It has a line of credit with a local bank. The company can borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total outstanding loan balance of $150,000. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month simple interest (not compounded). The company would pay down on the line of credit balance in increments of $1,000 if it has excess funds at the end of the quarter. The company would also pay the accumulated interest at the end of the quarter on the funds borrowed during the quarter. k. The company's income tax rate is projected to be 30% of operating income less interest expense. The company pays $10,000 cash at the end of February in estimated taxes. Requirement 1. Prepare a schedule of cash collections for January, February, and March, and for the quarter in total Requirement 2. Prepare a production budget. (Hint: Unit sales = Sales in dollars / Selling price per unit.) Requirement 3. Prepare a direct materials budget. (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.) Requirement 4. Prepare a cash payments budget for the direct material purchases from Requirement 3. (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.) Requirement 5. Prepare a cash payments budget for direct labor. Requirement 6. Prepare a cash payments budget for manufacturing overhead costs. (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.) Requirement 7. Prepare a cash payments budget for operating expenses. (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.) Requirement 8. Prepare a combined cash budget. (If a box is not used in the table leave the box empty; do not enter a zero. Use parentheses or a minus sign for negative cash balances and financing payments.) Requirement 9. Calculate the budgeted manufacturing cost per unit (assume that fixed manufacturing overhead is budgeted to be $0.80 per unit for the year). (Round your answer to the nearest cent Requirement 10. Prepare a budgeted income statement for the quarter ending March 31. (Hint: Cost of goods sold = Budgeted cost of manufacturing one unit x Number of units sold.) (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

Marshall Industrial has estimated that production for the next 5 quarters will be: Production Information Quarter 1, 2017-------------------------------------------- 51,000 units Quarter 2, 2017-------------------------------------------- 46,000 Quarter 3, 2017-------------------------------------------- 55,000 Quarter 4, 2017-------------------------------------------- 43,000 Quarter 1, 2018-------------------------------------------- 53,000 Finished units of production require 7 lbs of raw material per unit. The raw material cost is $8.00 per lb.

There is $428,400 of raw material on hand at the beginning of the first quarter, 2017. Marshall desires to have 15 percent of next quarter's material requirements on hand at the end of each quarter.

Prepare quarterly direct materials purchases budgets for Marshall Industrial for 2017.

Consider a closed economy. The goods market is represented by the following equations:

C = 160 + 0.6YD
I = 100 + 0.2Y – 500i

T = 100
G = 100
YD = Y - T

1. Derive the IS equation from the equilibrium position Y = Z ≡ C + I + G and draw the IS curve on the graph.

In the money market, the real money demand is (M d/P) = Y – 1,500i; and the real money supply is (Ms/P) = 600.

2. Derive the LM relation and draw the LM curve on the graph where you draw the IS curve.

3. Solve for the equilibrium output Y and equilibrium interest rate i when both goods market and money market are at the equilibrium. Identify this equilibrium point on the graph in part (1).

4. Suppose now the government spending (G) increases from 100 to 200.
On the IS-LM graph in part (1) illustrate the effect of this increase in government spending on the IS or LM curve and mark the new equilibrium output Y and interest rate i.

5. Following this increase in government spending, how much will be the new equilibrium output Y and interest rate i?

6. How much is the multiplier of government spending?

7. Following the government spending increase, does the equilibrium investment I decrease or increase?

8. Suppose at the same time that the government spending increases, FED would use the monetary policy tool to accommodate such an expansionary fiscal policy to keep the equilibrium interest rate unchanged. Under this circumstance, how much would be the new equilibrium output (Y)? How much is the ‘multiplier’ of the government spending in this case?

9. In practice, how does FED achieve such an accommodation policy as mentioned in part (9). Illustrate the effect of this policy on an IS-LM graph. As a result, how much does the real money supply (Ms/P) need to increase to remain the equilibrium interest rate unchanged when the government spending increases?

During the next four quarters, Dorian Auto must meet (on time) the following demands for cars: 4000 in quarter 1; 2000 in quarter 2; 5000 in quarter 3; 1000 in quarter 4. At the beginning of quarter 1, there are 300 cars in stock. The company has the capacity to produce at the most 3000 cars per quarter. At the beginning of each quarter, the company can increase (but not decrease) its production capacity. It costs $100 to increase production capacity by one unit. For example, it would cost $10,000 to increase production capacity from 3000 cars per quarter to 3100 cars per quarter. It also costs $40 per quarter to maintain each unit of production capacity (whether it is used or not). The variable cost of producing a car is $2000. A holding cost of $150 per car is assessed for each quarter’s ending inventory. It is required that at the end of quarter 4, plant capacity must be at least 4000 cars.       

(1) Determine how to minimise the total cost incurred during the next four quarters.

There is a concern that due to rising material and labour costs, the variable cost in the fourth quarter may increase by 10%.

(2) Should you change your production plan if you believe this increase will occur?

(3) What would you do if you believed that there would be a 20% increase in variable costs in the fourth quarter?

1. Production Budget

   Assume that Stillwater Designs produces two automotive subwoofers: S12L7 and S12L5. The S12L7 sells for $475, and the S12L5 sells for $300. Projected sales (number of speakers) for the coming five quarters are as follows:

   	S12L7		S12L5
   First quarter, 20Y1	920		1,495
   Second quarter, 20Y1	2,530		1,610
   Third quarter, 20Y1	6,440		6,095
   Fourth quarter, 20Y1	5,290		4,485
   First quarter, 20Y2	1,035		1,380

   The vice president of sales believes that the projected sales are realistic and can be achieved by the company.

   Stillwater Designs needs a production budget for each product (representing the amount that must be outsourced to manufacturers located in Asia). Beginning inventory of S12L7 for the first quarter of 20Y1 was 340 boxes. The company's policy is to have 20% of the next quarter's sales of S12L7 in ending inventory. Beginning inventory of S12L5 was 170 boxes. The company's policy is to have 30% of the next quarter's sales of S12L5 in ending inventory.

   Required:

   Prepare a production budget for each quarter for 20Y1 and for the year in total.
