ACCT505 – Project 1 Instructions You have just been contracted as a budget consultant by LBJ Company, a distributor of bracelets to various retail outlets across the country. The company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has experienced a shortage of cash. You have decided to prepare a cash budget for the upcoming fourth quarter in order to show management the benefits that can be gained from proper cash planning. You have worked with accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below. The company sells many styles of bracelets, but all are sold for the same $10 price. Actual sales of bracelets for the last three months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow (shown in number of units): July (actual) 20,000 August (actual) 26,000 September (actual) 40,000 October (budget) 70,000 November (budget) 110,000 December (budget) 60,000 January (budget) 30,000 February (budget) 28,000 March (budget) 25,000 The concentration of sales in the fourth quarter is due to the Christmas holiday. Sufficient inventory should be on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the bracelets sold in the following month. Suppliers are paid $4 for each bracelet. Fifty-percent of a month's purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other 50% is paid for in the following month. All sales are on credit with no discounts. The company has found, however, that only 20% of a month's sales are collected in the month of sale. An additional 70% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been negligible. Monthly operating expenses for the company are given below. Variable expenses: Sales commissions 4% of sales Fixed expenses: Advertising $220,000 Rent $20,000 Salaries $110,000 Utilities $10,000 The company plans to purchase $22,000 in new equipment during October and $50,000 in new equipment during November; both purchases will be for cash. The company declares dividends of $20,000 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter. Other relevant data is given below: Cash balance as of September 30 $74,000 Merchandise purchases for September $200,000 The company maintains a minimum cash balance of at least $50,000 at the end of each month. All borrowing is done at the beginning of a month; any repayments are made at the end of a month. The company has an agreement with a bank that allows the company to borrow the exact amount needed at the beginning of each month. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month and for simplicity we will assume that interest is not compounded.

The company has had an unrelenting focus on the pursuit of quality. As the company has grown and matured, so too has its approach to managing quality. Benchmarking quality in terms of defect rates against the best high-end Swiss watch-makers was the initial starting point. These quality control processes quickly gave way to quality assurance systems, which have then progressed into industry leading total quality management (TQM) and an incorporation of Kaizen to ensure continuous improvement in the quality of watches at Killer Time. Killer Time has come to set the industry standard for design, craftsmanship and quality –all factors that Mrs Jacobson attributes to the young company being able to steadily increase its market share.

Question: Evaluate the roles of total quality management (TQM) and the Kaizen system of continuous improvement in Killer Time Ltd.
