It is the beginning of January. Actual sales for the previous quarter (Q4) and estimated sales for the next five quarters are as follows (in $ million):

Quarter Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1
Sales 24 25.2 26.46 27.78 29.17 30.63

You collect 20% of sales in the current quarter and the remainder in the following quarter. You expect to spend 40% of the following quarter's sales on purchases of components from suppliers, and to pay 70% of those purchases in the current quarter and the remainder in the following quarter. Wages and other expenses add up to 30% of each quarter's sales.

You have to pay $4 million in interest and dividends each quarter, and plan to spend $7 million on new machinery in Q3.

Assume that each quarter has 90 days, sales occur evenly throughout the quarter and all other cash flows occur at the end of the quarter.

1. What is your expected net cash flow in Q1 (in $ million)?

2. What is your expected net cash flow in Q2 (in $ million)?

3. What is your expected net cash flow in Q3 (in $ million)?

4. What is your expected net cash flow in Q4 (in $ million)?

Question 2.

Waldorf Corporation had the following overhead costs for the previous year (Waldorf allocates overhead on the basis of direct labour hours):

Labour hours

Total Overhead

1st Quarter

                7,000

$              75,000

2nd Quarter

                6,000

$              74,000

3rd Quarter

                8,000

$              77,000

4th Quarter

                7,500

$              76,000

Assume that total overhead is comprised of Indirect materials (a variable cost), Rent (a fixed cost) and Maintenance (a mixed cost).  The breakdown of these three costs at the 6,000 labour hour level is as follows:

Indirect materials (V)

$                3,600

Rent (F)

                35,000

Maintenance (M)

                35,400

$              74,000

Determine how much of the total overhead at the 8,000 direct labour hour is maintenance.  Using the amount just determined and the high low method, estimate a cost formula for maintenance.  Determine what the cost formula for total overhead would be and estimate what total overhead costs would be at the 10,000 direct labour hour level.
