You have just been contracted as a budget consultant by LBJCompany, a distributor of bracelets to various retail outletsacross the country. The company has done very little in the way ofbudgeting and at certain times of the year has experienced ashortage of cash.
You have decided to prepare a cash budget for the upcomingfourth quarter in order to show management the benefits that can begained from proper cash planning. You have worked with accountingand other areas to gather the information assembled below.
The company sells many styles of bracelets, but all are sold forthe same $10 price. Actual sales of bracelets for the last threemonths and budgeted sales for the next six months follow:
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 theChristmas holiday. Sufficient inventory should be on hand at theend of each month to supply 40% of the bracelets sold in thefollowing month.
Suppliers are paid $4 for each bracelet. Fifty-percent of amonth's purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other50% is paid for in the following month. All sales are on creditwith no discounts. The company has found, however, that only 20% ofa month's sales are collected in the month of sale. An additional70% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% iscollected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have beennegligible.
Monthly operating expenses for the company are given below:
Variable expenses:
Salescommissions 4% of sales
Fixed expenses:
Advertising $220,000
Rent $20,000
Salaries $110,000
Utilities $10,000
Insurance $5,000
Depreciation $18,000
Insurance is paid on an annual basis, in January of eachyear.
The company plans to purchase $22,000 in new equipment duringOctober and $50,000 in new equipment during November; bothpurchases will be for cash. The company declares dividends of$20,000 each quarter, payable in the first month of the followingquarter.
