Discuss the purpose of a budget and cost variance analysis. Why is it important for companies to create a budget then determine if they met budgeted costs? For example, is it always a negative variance if a company exceeds budgets? Give me an example of why a cost falling below expectations (actual cost below budgeted cost) may still be a problem even if it appears to increase profit.

a. Budgeted monthly absorption costing income statements for July to October are as follows:

  Total selling and administrative expenses 14,600       20,400       15,600       14,200      
  Net operating income $ 4,400       $ 10,600       $ 7,400       $ 6,800      
*Includes $2,250 depreciation each month.
b. Sales are 20% for cash and 80% on credit.
c.

Credit sales are collected over a three-month period, with 10% collected in the month of sale, 70% in the month following sale, and 20% in the second month following sale. May sales totalled $35,000, and June sales totalled $41,000.

d.

Inventory purchases are paid for within 15 days. Therefore, 50% of a month’s inventory purchases are paid for in the month of purchase. The remaining 50% are paid in the following month. Accounts payable for inventory purchases at June 30 total $14,200.

e.

The company maintains its ending inventory levels at 75% of the cost of the merchandise to be sold in the following month. The merchandise inventory at June 30 is $20,500.

f. Land costing $4,750 will be purchased in July.
g. Dividends of $1,250 will be declared and paid in September.
h.

The cash balance on June 30 is $8,500; the company must maintain a cash balance of at least this amount at the end of each month.

i.

The company has an agreement with a local bank that allows it to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan balance of $40,000. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month, and for simplicity, we will assume that interest is not compounded. The company would, as far as it is able, repay the loan plus accumulated interest at the end of the quarter.

  

3.

Prepare a cash budget for July, August, and September and for the quarter in total. (Roundup "Borrowing" and "Repayments" answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Any "Repayments" and "Interest" should be indicated by a minus sign. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)
