Lunar Artistry Company needs to purchase new etching and finishing equipment. The owners hope to finance the costly equipment with cash on hand and a short term loan from Erie Bank. The CFO of Lunar Artistry Company has recently completed the sales forecast. She projects sales to increase by 10% each month over the previous month sales for the first quarter with the remaining months remaining constant.

The controller has been asked to prepare the master monthly budget for the first quarter 2021. In the process, the controller has accumulated the following information:

1. Projected Sales for December 2020 are $500,000. Credit sales are 80% of total sales with immediate cash sales as the other 20%. Of the credit sales, cash is collected 20% in the month of the sale and the remainder in the month following the sale.
2. Lunar’s cost of goods sold is generally 60% of the current month sales. All inventory is purchased on account. 40% of inventory purchases are paid for in the month of purchase with the remaining 60% paid the month following the purchase.
3. The controller has determined additional monthly expenses to be as follows:
   1. Salaries                       $55,000 Paid monthly
   2. Advertising                 $20,000 Paid Monthly
   3. Property Taxes            $ 2,900 Paid Feb 28 and Aug 31
   4. Sales Commissions    1.2% of monthly sales
4. The owners of Lunar Artistry Company have selected etching and finishing equipment costing $175,000. They plan to pay cash for the equipment.

The CFO has stated the current interest rate on short term loans is 6% and she anticipates the need for a six-month loan. Interest on short-term loans is payable monthly.

Banks are financing acquisition projects, i.e. for Venture Capital funds. An exemplary project shows the following data:

            A VC fund purchased the target company on 1.1.2020 for a price of €300k at a Price/EBIT-multiple of 7.5x. 40% of the purchase price is funded by equity of the VC, remaining amount by bank loan at an interest of 10% p.a., collateralized by the shares of the target company. The loan will be repaid on 31.12.2023, accrual for loan repayment is planned pro rata annually. All cash flows related to the purchase will be pushed down into the target company’s P&L.
            The target company runs operationally at annual revenues of €150k in 2020, growing each upcoming year at 4%, while operational costs in 2020 are at €-110k at a future growth rate of 2% year-on-year. In 2020, EBIT is €40k. Operational interest is at €-6.0k (and will be stable for the upcoming years). Tax rate is 30%. There are no other operational P/L impacts.
            The VC plans to sell the company on 31.12.2025 (= after 6 years) at a Price/EBIT-multiple of 7.5x which was the same at purchase.
