Case Study 2 Master Budgeting and Pro-Forma Financial Statements

You have just been assigned to a new manager who believes you have exceptional budgeting skills. Since you began your job last summer, you have been showing management your latest spreadsheets and how you use your new-found knowledge of Managerial Accounting to make sound business decisions. Your new manager is responsible for the nationwide distribution of designer handkerchief sets (HCS) and, through multiple franchise agreements, sales have grown very rapidly, and the timing is right for you to join her team and to show your skills. You have just been given responsibility for all planning and budgeting of the entire HCS division. Your first assignment is to prepare a master budget for the next three months, starting April 1, 2019. You accept this responsibility with enthusiasm and you are anxious to impress your new manager and the president of the company, who has a very high regard for you. To commence your new role, you have assembled the following pertinent information:

Note: The company desires a minimum ending cash balance each month on $10,000. The HCS’s are sold to retailers for $8 each and they are flying off the shelves. Recent forecasted sales in units are provided below:

January (actual)

20,000

June

March (actual)

August

36,000

April

35,000

September

32,000

May

45,000

The increased sales volume before and during June is due to Father’s Day with HCS being a favorite. Ending inventories are supposed to be equal to 90% of the next month’s sales in units. The cost of each HCS is $5.00.

Purchases are paid for in the following manner: 50% in the month of the purchase and the remaining 50% paid in the month following the purchase. All sales to the distributors are made on credit terms with no discount (for now), and payable within 15 days. The HCS division has determined that only 25% of a month’s sales are collected by the end of the month in which the sale occurred. An additional 50% is collected in the month following the sale, and the remaining 25% is collected in the second month following the sale. Bad debts have been negligible, supporting the credit terms as favorable.

Below is a display of the HCS division monthly selling and administrative expenses:

$22,000

Utilities

$14,000

Insurance

Depreciation

Miscellaneous

$3,000

Selling and administrative expenses are all paid during the month, in cash, with the exception of depreciation (of course) and insurance is pre-paid for the duration of the policy. HCS will make a purchase of a parcel of land during the month of May for $25,000 cash. HCS contributes to the corporate dividend at a rate of $12,000 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter. HCS’s balance sheet at the end of the first quarter is shown below:

An agreement with Bank of the West allows HCS to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan amount of $150,000. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month (pretty high but convenient nonetheless) but the interest is not compounded, meaning this is simple interest only. At quarter end, HCS would pay Bank of the West all of the accumulated interest on the loan and as much of the balance of the loan as possible (in $1,000 increments) while retaining the minimum $10,000 cash balance.

Consider the following project regarding the building of a large bridge between two major cities. The bridge will involve a ‘toll’ or monetary charge, where users of the bridge will pay an amount of money each time that they cross over the bridge.

The current date is 1 January 2019. The bridge is expected to take 2 years to build, and the first paid crossing of the bridge will occur in exactly 2 years from now.

The costs of the project are as follows:

Building costs

1 January 2019: $5 million

1 July 2019: $15 million

1 January 2020: $17.5 million

1 July 2020: $8 million

1 January 2021: $100,000

Maintenance and ongoing costs

Painting and repairs of $125,000 every quarter (ongoing), with the first cost incurred on 31 March 2021, and increasing by 1% every quarter thereafter

Road resealing: This occurs every 18 months with the first resealing occurring on 30 June 2022. The cost is $1.1m each time, increasing by 10% every 18 months.

Ongoing administration and staff costs: Assumed to be incurred monthly, of $75,000 per month with the first cost incurred on 1 February 2019, increasing by 2.5% (effective) every 12 months.

Income

The income from the monetary charges that apply to each bridge crossing is given by the following:

Cost per crossing: $2.80 per crossing over the bridge. This cost will apply throughout 2021. Every year thereafter, the cost increase by 5 cents per crossing.

Usage of the bridge

In 2021, it is anticipated that there will be 2 million crossings over the bridge over the year. This number of crossings is expected to increase by 7% per year, at the end of each year. Use of the bridge is not constant each month, but occurs in relation to the following breakdown per month:

Month

It can also be assumed that the income for each month, is earned on average half way through each month.

  1. Assuming a time horizon of 20 years for this project, determine the Internal Rate of Return.
  2. Assuming a time horizon of 20 years for this project, determine the PV of costs at a risk discount rate of 10% per annum (effective)
  3. Assuming a time horizon of 20 years for this project, determine the PV of income at a risk discount rate of 10% per annum (effective)
  4. Hence, using your answers to (b) and (c), determine the NPV of this project at a risk discount rate of 10% per annum (effective)
