Question

Prepare a master budget for the three-month period ending June 30, 2012. You MUST use formulas in all cells, not constant numbers. That means all cells in your budget must be linked to the data from TAB 1 or completed data from TAB 2. A template has been provided. Include the following detailed budgets:

1.         a.         A sales budget by month and in total.

            b.         A schedule of expected cash collections from sales, by month and in total.

            c.         A merchandise purchases budget in units and in dollars. Show the budget by and   in total.

d.         A schedule of expected cash disbursements for merchandise purchases, by month and in total.

2.         A cash budget. Show the budget by month and in total.

TAB 3/INCOME STATEMENT

1.         A budgeted income statement for the three month period ending June 30. Use the contribution approach. You MUST use formulas in all cells, not constant numbers. A partial template has been provided.

TAB 4/BALANCE SHEET

1.         A budgeted balance sheet as of June 30. You MUST use formulas in all cells, not constant numbers. A template has been provided.

DATA:

The company desires a minimum ending cash balance each month of $10,000.

The ties are sold to retailers for $10.00 each. Recent and forecasted sales in units are as follows:

January (actual)       25,000                         June                60,000

February (actual)     30,000                         July                 35,000

March (actual)                      32,000                         August                        40,000

April                           40,000                         September    32,000

May                             50,000

The large buildup in sales before and during June is due to Father’s Day. Ending inventories are supposed to equal 80% of the next month’s sales in units. The ties cost the company $6 each.

Purchases are paid as follows: 50% in the month of purchase and the remaining 50% in the following month. All sales are on credit, with no discount, and payable within 15 days. The company has found, however, that only 25% of a month’s sales are collected by month-end. An additional 50% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 25% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been negligible.

The company’s monthly selling and administrative expenses are as follows:

Variable:

            Sales commissions             $1.50 per tie

Fixed:

            Wages and salaries                        $22,000

            Utilities                                 14,000

            Insurance                                  1,200

            Depreciation                                        1,500

            Miscellaneous                                     3,000

All selling and administrative expenses are paid during the month, in cash, with the exception of depreciation and insurance expired. Land will be purchased during May for $20,000 cash. The company declares dividends of $12,000 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter.

The company has an agreement with a bank that allows it to borrow in increments if $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan balance of$100,000. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month, and for simplicity, we will assume that interest is not compounded. At the end of the quarter, the company would pay the bank all of the accumulated interest on the loan and as much of the loan as possible (in increments of $1,000), while still retaining at least $10,000 in cash.

Here is the given Balance Sheet

This is the layout it should have. I Have started it and believe I have everything right until I get to 1D and I think it starts to go wrong from there. Thank you!!
