Applying and Analyzing Inventory Costing Methods
At the beginning of the current period, Chen carried 1,000 units of its product with a unit cost of $30. A summary of purchases during the current period follows. During the period, Chen sold 2,800 units.

Units Unit Cost Cost
Beginning Inventory 1,000 $ 30 $ 30,000
Purchase #1 1,800 32 57,600
Purchase #2 800 36 28,800
Purchase #3 1,200 39 46,800


(a) Assume that Chen uses the first-in, first-out method. Compute both cost of good sold for the current period and the ending inventory balance. Use the financial statement effects template to record cost of goods sold for the period.

2. Determine the total sales and the total cost of goods sold for the period. Journalize the entries in the sales and cost of goods sold accounts. Assume that all sales were on account.

Consider a PPF which illustrates the trade-off between tangible goods and intangible services.

If technological improvements raise productivity in the tangible good sector but not in the intangible service sector,

A-The opportunity cost of intangible services goes up.

B-The opportunity cost of tangible goods goes up.

C-The opportunity cost of the two goods does not change

Suppose that different ways of organizing a society produce different levels of income for two different groups of citizens, natives and newbies. Both groups are equal in size.

Scenario Native Newbies
1 8 6
2 10 7
3 12 6
4 13 3
5 11 1
6 10 0

Set up a PPF diagram with the income of the natives on the horizontal axis, the income of the newbies on the vertical axis. Treat each scenario as a point on the PPF and graph the PPF. You should end up with a strange looking PPF.

A-If it isn't possible to travel any further to the north (up) then we'vereached the most efficient outcome.

B-When the PPF is upward sloping, we're able to increase income for both groups at the same time. So it can't be efficient to stay on a portion of the PPF that is upward sloping.

C-If it isn't possible to travel any further to the east (right) then we've reached the most efficient outcome

The beauty behind excel is that managers can perform what-if analysis just by changing the data, so you do not need to retype the budgets if you have used cell references and formulas throughout.

Data Scenario: You have just been hired into a management position which requires the application of your budgeting skills. You find out that budgeting has not been a priority of the company and that they have been experiencing cash shortages. You have contacted various areas on the organization and have accumulated the information below to assist you in preparing a comprehensive budget.                                                                                                                              

The following is actual information that relates to the operations of a merchandiser named Sled Company, a wholesaler of sleds as of March 31.          Cash $1,000 Accounts receivable 13,680 Inventory 10,757 Accounts Payable $15,781

                                                                                               

Actual and Budgeted sales dollar Data-Sales Budget: March (actual) $38,000 April $36,000 May $37,000 June $39,000 July $35,000                                                                                      

                                                                                                                               

Sales are the following type: 64% Cash sales collected in month of sale 36% Credit sales collected in the following month of sale    Credit sales are collected in the month following sale. The accounts receivable at March 31 are a result of March credit sales. Cost of goods sold equals    83%       of sales price                                                                     

At the end of each month, inventory is to be on hand(ending inventory) equal to 36% of following month's sales needs, stated at cost. Inventory purchases are paid 49% in month of purchase 51% in month after purchase. The accounts payable at March 31 is a result of March purchases of inventory. I have set up a calculation on the budget worksheet to show you this calculation.                                                                                                                      

Monthly selling expenses are as follows and are paid in the month incurred if it is a cash expense. Salaries and wages 8% of sales dollar Commissions 3% of sales dollar Advertising      $900     per month Utilities          $200 per month                                                                               

                                                                                                                               

Monthly general and administrative expenses are as follows and are paid in the month incurred if it is a cash expense. Rent $2,000 per month Depreciation $500 for month                                                                     

                                                                                                                               

Required: You must use cell references on the BudgetSolution worksheet, by referencing this worksheet that contains the data.              Prepare the following second quarter budgets and answer the questions listed on the template provided on the BudgetSolution Worksheet. I have adapted the budget model to meet the needs of this company. If I bolded a line item, that is a header and does not need computation on that row. Please note the quarter column is for the quarter so not all lines should be added across in the quarter column. When you have beginning and ending inventory or cash balances this is for the quarter and should be brought over to the quarter column.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

7. Prepare a budgeted income statement for the quarter ending June 30, 20XX. You do not need to show monthly columns.              I entered Sales for you on the income statement

                                                               

8. What do you think about the survivability of this business?                                                                                                                    

9. What if the company finds out the monthly rent will increase to $2,500, what budgets are effected? Why? What is the New Net income(Loss) for the quarter?                                                                                                                         

If you have linked everything correctly, you should only have to change the monthly rent on this sheet to determine your answer to the questions asked. Please change the rent back to the original amount of 2,000 before you submit.

Stew and Brew have decided to lease a new restaurant. Rent for the building will be $3,000 a month to be paid on the first day of each month. They initially invested $225,000 of their own money, which was used in part to purchase:

Furniture and equipment $180,000

China, glass, and silverware 25,200

Food inventory 9,000

Use straight-line depreciation over five years for furniture and equipment (no residual value). China, glass, and silverware are to be fully depreciated in year one. Sales are forecasted as follows for the first three months after opening:

Month 1: $48,000 Month 2: $66,000 Month 3: $84,000

Sales will be 80 percent cash and 20 percent credit with the maximum credit period allowed of 30 days. Food cost of sales is expected to average 30 percent and all purchases will be cash. Wages and salaries will be $15,000 a month. However, in any month when sales exceed $60,000, additional staff will have to be hired, and the extra wage cost is estimated to be 20 percent of any excess sales. All salaries and wages will be paid in the month during which they were earned. Other operating costs are expected to be 10 percent of sales and will be paid in the following month. At the end of month 3, Stew and Brew plan to pay themselves back part of their initial investment. This payment will be from any cash in excess of $15,000 at that time. In other words, they wish to leave only $15,000 in the restaurant’s cash account at the end of each 3 months operating quarter.

Prepare

a. A forecasted income statement for each of the three months.

b. A cash budget for each of the three months.

c. A condensed balance sheet for the first quarter at the end of month three.
