Endless Mountain Company manufactures a single product that is popular with outdoor recreation enthusiasts. The company sells its product to retailers throughout the northeastern quadrant of the United States. It is in the process of creating a master budget for 2017 and reports a balance sheet at December 31, 2016 as follows:

The company’s chief financial officer (CFO), in consultation with various managers across the organization has developed the following set of assumptions to help create the 2017 budget:

1. The budgeted unit sales are 12,000 units, 37,000 units, 15,000 units, and 25,000 units for quarters 1-4, respectively. Notice that the company experiences peak sales in the second and fourth quarters. The budgeted selling price for the year is $32 per unit. The budgeted unit sales for the first quarter of 2018 is 13,000 units.
2. All sales are on credit. Uncollectible accounts are negligible and can be ignored. Seventy-five percent of all credit sales are collected in the quarter of the sale and 25% are collected in the subsequent quarter.
3. Each quarter’s ending finished goods inventory should equal 15% of the next quarter’s unit sales.
4. Each unit of finished goods requires 3.5 yards of raw material that costs $3.00 per yard. Each quarter’s ending raw materials inventory should equal 10% of the next quarter’s production needs. The estimated ending raw materials inventory on December 31, 2017 is 5,000 yards.
5. Seventy percent of each quarter’s purchases are paid for in the quarter of purchase. The remaining 30% of each quarter’s purchases are paid in the following quarter.
6. Direct laborers are paid $18 an hour and each unit of finished goods requires 0.25 direct labor-hours to complete. All direct labor costs are paid in the quarter incurred.
7. The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour is $3.00. The quarterly fixed manufacturing overhead is $150,000 including $20,000 of depreciation on equipment. The number of direct labor-hours is used as the allocation base for the budgeted plantwide overhead rate. All overhead costs (excluding depreciation) are paid in the quarter incurred.
8. The budgeted variable selling and administrative expense is $1.25 per unit sold. The fixed selling and administrative expenses per quarter include advertising ($25,000), executive salaries ($64,000), insurance ($12,000), property tax ($8,000), and depreciation expense ($8,000). All selling and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation) are paid in the quarter incurred.
9. The company plans to maintain a minimum cash balance at the end of each quarter of $30,000. Assume that any borrowings take place on the first day of the quarter. To the extent possible, the company will repay principal and interest on any borrowings on the last day of the fourth quarter. The company’s lender imposes a simple interest rate of 3% per quarter on any borrowings.
10. Dividends of $15,000 will be declared and paid in each quarter.
11. The company uses a last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory flow assumption. This means that the most recently purchased raw materials are the “first-out” to production and the most recently completed finished goods are the “first-out” to customers.

Required:

1. Calculate the following budgeted figures for 2017:

a. The total fixed cost.

b. The variable cost per unit sold.

c. The contribution margin per unit sold.

d. The break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales.

e. The margin of safety.

f. The degree of operating leverage

a.

a. For May 2020, the cost of Direct Materials transferred into the Filling Dept. of a liquid soap company is $20,200. Direct Labor cost incurred for the same department is unknown, and Factory Overhead cost applied to production is 80% of Direct Labor cost. The total cost of finished goods transferred out of the Filling Dept. is $85,600. The cost of beginning work in process (WIP) inventory in the Filling Dept. on May 1 was $12,000 and the ending balance in WIP Inventory-Filling on May 31 is $6,000. Calculate the cost of Direct Labor incurred by the Filling Dept. during May 2020.

b. The following data is taken from the production budget for the year: Beginning finished goods units 11,000; Units to be produced in the first quarter 82,000; First quarter sales units 58,000; Sales units budgeted for the second quarter 68,000. Second quarter finished goods inventory is budgeted at 12,000 units. Calculate units to produce in the second quarter.

Grants Corporation prepared the following two income statements (simplified for illustrative purposes):

During the third quarter, it was discovered that the ending inventory for the first quarter should have been $3,670.

Required:

1. What effect did this error have on the combined pretax income of the two quarters?

2. Which quarter's or quarters' (if any) EPS amounts were affected by this error?

3. Prepare corrected income statements for each quarter.

4. Prepare the schedule to reflect the comparative effects of the correct and incorrect amounts on the income statement.

   The Sales Budget is the projection approved by the budget committee that describes expected sales for each product in units and dollars. The sales budget must be constructed first, before other budgets can be constructed.

   2. What if FlashKick added a third line—tournament quality soccer balls that were expected to take 40 percent of the units sold of the match balls and would have a selling price of $45 each in January and February, and $48 each in March? Prepare a sales budget for FlashKick for the first three months of the coming year. Show total sales for each product line by month and in total for the first quarter. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.

A sporting goods manufacturer budgets production of 57,000 pairs of ski boots in the first quarter and 48,000 pairs in the second quarter of the upcoming year. Each pair of boots requires 2 kilograms (kg) of a key raw material. The company aims to end each quarter with ending raw materials inventory equal to 25% of the following quarter's material needs. Beginning inventory for this material is 28,500 kg and the cost per kg is $7. What is the budgeted materials purchases cost for the first quarter?
