Herbal Care Corp., a distributor of herb-based sunscreens, is ready to begin its third quarter, in which peak sales occur. The company has requested a $40,000, 90-day loan from its bank to help meet cash requirements during the quarter. Since Herbal Care has experienced difficulty in paying off its loans in the past, the loan officer at the bank has asked the company to prepare a cash budget for the quarter. In response to this request, the following data have been assembled: a. On July 1, the beginning of the third quarter, the company will have a cash balance of $47,500. b. Actual sales for the last two months and budgeted sales for the third quarter follow (all sales are on account): May (actual) $ 290,000 June (actual) $ 330,000 July (budgeted) $ 450,000 August (budgeted) $ 660,000 September (budgeted) $ 340,000 Past experience shows that 25% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale, 70% in the month following sale, and 3% in the second month following sale. The remainder is uncollectible. c. Budgeted merchandise purchases and budgeted expenses for the third quarter are given below: July August September Merchandise purchases $ 270,000 $ 396,000 $ 204,000 Salaries and wages $ 42,000 $ 52,000 $ 53,000 Advertising $ 170,000 $ 128,000 $ 93,000 Rent payments $ 7,400 $ 7,400 $ 7,400 Depreciation $ 8,000 $ 8,000 $ 8,000 Merchandise purchases are paid in full during the month following purchase. Accounts payable for merchandise purchases on June 30, which will be paid during July, total $198,000. d. Equipment costing $10,000 will be purchased for cash during July. e. In preparing the cash budget, assume that the $40,000 loan will be made in July and repaid in September. Interest on the loan will total $1,200. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule of expected cash collections for July, August, and September and for the quarter in total. 2. Prepare a cash budget, by month and in total, for the third quarter. (Cash deficiency, repayments and interest should be indicated by a minus sign.)

b) Use a multiple regression model with dummy variables as follows to develop an equation to account for seasonal effects in the data: Qtr1 = 1 if Quarter 1, 0 otherwise; Qtr2 = 1 if Quarter 2, 0 otherwise; Qtr3 = 1 if Quarter 3, 0 otherwise.
If required, round your answers to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank (Example: -300). If the constant is "1" it must be entered in the box. Do not round intermediate calculation.
ŷ = + Qtr1 + Qtr2 + Qtr3
c) Compute the quarterly forecasts for next year based on the model you developed in part (b).
If required, round your answers to three decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculation.

d) Use a multiple regression model to develop an equation to account for trend and seasonal effects in the data. Use the dummy variables you developed in part (b) to capture seasonal effects and create a variable t such that t = 1 for Quarter 1 in Year 1, t = 2 for Quarter 2 in Year 1,… t = 12 for Quarter 4 in Year 3.
If required, round your answers to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank (Example: -300).
