HCJ Corporation is completing their cash budget for the following year. They are going to buy an industrial robot. They will make the acquisition on January 2 of next year, and it will take most of the year to train the personnel and reorganize the production process to take full advantage of the new equipment.”

The robot will cost $1,000,000 financed with a a one-year $1,000,000 loan from My Bank and Trust Company. I’ve negotiated a repayment schedule of four equal installments on the last day of each quarter.

The interest rate will be 10 percent, and interest payments will be quarterly as well

HCJ Corporation is a manufacturer of metal picture frames. The firm’s two product lines are designated as S (small frames; 5 x 7 inches) and L (large frames; 8 x10 inches). The primary raw materials are flexible metal strips and 9-inch by 24-inch glass sheets.   Other raw materials, such as cardboard backing, are insignificant in cost and are treated as indirect materials.

Here is the provided budget information

     1. Sales in the fourth quarter of 20x0 are expected to be 50,000 S frames and 40,000 L frames. Over the next two years, sales in each product line will grow by 5,000 units each quarter over the previous quarter. For example, S frame sales in the first quarter of 20x1 are expected to be 55,000 units.

    2. HCJ's sales history indicates that 60 percent of all sales are on credit, with the remainder of the sales in cash. The company’s collection experience shows that 80 percent of the credit sales are collected during the quarter in which the sale is made, while the remaining 20 percent is collected in the following quarter. (For simplicity, assume the company is able to collect 100 percent of its accounts receivable.)

    3. The S frame sells for $10, and the L frame sells for $15. These prices are expected to hold constant

throughout 20x1.

    4. HCJ's production team attempts to end each quarter with enough finished-goods inventory in each product line to cover 20 percent of the following quarter’s sales. Moreover, an attempt is made to end each quarter with 20 percent of the glass sheets needed for the following quarter’s production. Since metal strips are purchased locally, HCJ buys on a just-in-time basis; inventory is negligible.   The purchase and production quantities are shown.

5. All direct-material purchases are made on account, and 80 percent of each quarter’s purchases are paid in cash during the same quarter as the purchase. The other 20 percent is paid in the next quarter.

6. Indirect materials are purchased as needed and paid for in cash. Work-in-process inventory is negligible.

7. Projected manufacturing costs in 20x1 are as follows:

Direct material:

Metal strips. @ $1 per foot

Glass sheets: $8 per sheet  

Direct labor for both products .1 hour @ $20 per hour

Manufacturing overhead: .1 direct-labor hour @ $10 per hour

Total manufacturing cost per unit . S: $7 L: $10

At the beginning of the school year, Craig Kovar decided to prepare a cash budget for the months of September, October, November, and December. The budget must plan for enough cash on December 31 to pay the spring semester tuition, which is the same as the fall tuition. The following information relates to the budget:

a. Prepare a cash budget for September, October, November, and December. Use the minus sign to indicate cash outflows, a decrease in cash or cash payments.

b. Are the four monthly budgets that are presented prepared as static budgets or flexible budgets?

c. What are the budget implications for Craig Kovar?

Craig can see that his present plan   sufficient cash. If Craig did not budget but went ahead with the original plan, he would be $   at the end of December, with no time left to adjust.

During the course of a​ year, the labor force consists of the same 1,165 people. Of​ these 22 lack skills that employers desire and hence remain unemployed throughout the year. At the same​ time, every month during the​ year, 24 different people become​ unemployed, and 24 other different people who were unemployed find jobs. There is no cyclical unemployment.

a. Calculate the frictional unemployment rate. ________%.

​(Enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal​ places).
