Cullumber Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Cullumber also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Cullumber enters into the following contract on July 1, 2020, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,520 and chooses Cullumber to do the installation. Cullumber charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The customer pays Cullumber $2,050 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,110) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2020, Cullumber completes installation on October 15, 2020, and the customer pays the balance due.

Cullumber estimates the standalone selling price of the installation based on an estimated cost of $430 plus a margin of 10% on cost.

Estimates obtained from the credit and collection department are as follows: collections within the month of sale, 20%; collections during the month following the sale, 60%; collections the second month following the sale, 25%. Payments for labor and raw materials are typically made during the month following the one in which these costs were incurred. Total costs for labor and raw materials are estimated for each month as shown in the table. General and administrative salaries will amount to approximately $25,000 a month; lease payments under long-term lease contracts will be $7,000 a month; depreciation charges will be $8,000 a month; miscellaneous expenses will be $5,000 a month; income tax payments of $30,000 will be due in both August and December; and a progress payment of $95,000 on a new office suite must be paid in October. Cash on hand on July 1 will amount to $70,000, and a minimum cash balance of $30,000 will be maintained throughout the cash budget period.

a. Prepare a monthly cash budget for the last 6 months of 2020.

b. Prepare an estimate of the required financing (or excess funds)—that is, the amount of money Marvel’s Renovations will need to borrow (or will have available to invest)—for each month during that period.

c. If its customers began to pay late, this would slow down collections and thus increase the required loan amount. Also, if sales dropped off, this would have an effect on the required loan amount. Perform a sensitivity analysis that shows the effects of these two factors on the maximum loan requirement.

Customers acquired through word-of-mouth avenues are worth twice as much as are those attracted through other channels.

Additional information:

Unit sales for 2020 and 2019 were 8,760 and 6,000 units, respectively.

Required:

5a) For each cost in the above income statement, identify whether the cost is fixed, variable and mixed with respect to sales volume, and explain how this was determined.

1b) Determine a reasonable cost driver for income tax expense. That is, what is the nature of the activity that would cause income tax expense to vary?

2c) Select one mixed cost and prepare a scattergraph. From the scattergraph, use the visual fit method to determine the total fixed cost and variable cost per unit.

6d) For the remaining mixed costs, determine the fixed and variable component of each cost using the high-low method. Why is the preparation of a scattergraph of no benefit given the information you have available?

2e) Based on your knowledge of depreciation methods from financial accounting, give a reasonable explanation of the cost structure of depreciation expense that you have identified earlier.

7f) Using a contribution format, prepare a budgeted income statement for 2021 if 9,600 units are expected to be sold. Stop at the calculation of operating income, so no income tax expense need be calculated.
