The cash budget can be prepared only after all of the operating budgets and the capital budget have been completed.
In the past, 4 direct labor hours were required to produce each unit of product Y. Material costs were $200 per unit, the direct labor rate was $20 per hour, and factory overhead was three times direct labor cost. In budgeting for next year, management is planning to outsource some manufacturing activities and to further automate others. Management estimates these plans will reduce labor hours by 25%, increase the factory overhead rate to 3.6 times direct labor costs, and increase material costs by $30 per unit. Management plans to manufacture 10,000 units. What amount should management budget for cost of goods manufactured? A $5,980,000 B $4,700,000 C $5,060,000 D $5,200,000
C $5,060,000
This answer is correct.
Direct labor hours per unit equal 3 [4 × (1.0 – .25]. Direct labor cost per unit equals $60 (3 × $20). Applied overhead per unit equals $216 (3.6 × $60). Unit materials cost equals $230 ($200 + $30). Accordingly, budgeted cost of goods manufactured equals $5,060,000 [10,000 units × ($60 + $216 + $230)].
Flesher Farms is preparing its cash budget for the next year. Sales are expected to be $100,000 in January, $200,000 in February, $300,000 in March, and $100,000 in April. Approximately half of all sales are cash sales, and the other half are on credit. Experience indicates that 70% of the credit sales will be collected in the month following the sale, 20% the month after that, and 10% in the third month after the sale. What are the budgeted collections for April? A $180,000 B $360,000 C $260,000 D $130,000
A $180,000
This answer is correct.
Collections from April cash sales will be half of total sales, or $50,000. From January’s $50,000 of credit sales, collections should be 10%, or $5,000. From February’s $100,000 of credit sales, collections should be 20%, or $20,000. From March’s $150,000 of credit sales, collections will be 70%, or $105,000. Thus, total collections will amount to $180,000.
Mien Co. is budgeting sales of 53,000 units of product Nous for next month. The manufacture of one unit of Nous requires 4 kilos of chemical Loire. During the month, Mien plans to reduce the inventory of Loire by 50,000 kilos and increase the finished goods inventory of Nous by 6,000 units. There is no Nous work-in-process inventory. How many kilos of Loire is Mien budgeting to purchase next month? A 138,000 B 238,000 C 186,000 D 162,000
C 186,000
This answer is correct.
Projected sales of 53,000 units and a 6,000-unit increase in inventory require production of 59,000 units. Thus, 236,000 (59,000 × 4) kilos of Loire are needed for production. Mien intends to reduce the inventory of Loire by 50,000 kilos, so 186,000 (236,000 – 50,000) kilos must be purchased.
Swan Company is a maker of men’s slacks. The company would like to maintain 20,000 yards of fabric in ending inventory. The beginning fabric inventory is expected to contain 25,000 yards. The expected yards of fabric needed for sales is 90,000. Compute the yards of fabric that Swan needs to purchase. A 85,000 B 95,000 C 90,000 D 135,000
A 85,000
This answer is correct.
Swan’s fabric purchase requirements can be calculated as follows:
Needed for sales
90,000
Add: ending inventory
20,000
Less: beginning inventory
(25,000)
Total purchases
85,000

Fact Pattern: Berol Company plans to sell 200,000 units of finished product in July and anticipates a growth rate in sales of 5% per month. The desired monthly ending inventory in units of finished product is 80% of the next month’s estimated sales. There are 150,000 finished units in inventory on June 30. Each unit of finished product requires 4 pounds of direct materials at a cost of $1.20 per pound. There are 800,000 pounds of direct materials in inventory on June 30
Berol Company’s production requirement in units of finished product for the 3-month period ending September 30 is
A. 638,000 units.
B. 712,025 units.
C. 630,500 units.
D. 665,720 units.
D. 665,720 units.
Answer (D) is correct.
Sales are expected to increase at the rate of 5% per month. Given that July sales are estimated to be 200,000 units, August, September, and October sales are expected to be 210,000 units (200,000 × 1.05), 220,500 units (210,000 × 1.05), and 231,525 units (220,500 × 1.05), respectively. Moreover, September ending inventory must be 80% of October’s estimated sales, or 185,220 units (231,525 × 80%). Consequently, the production requirement for the 3-month period is 665,720 units (200,000 + 210,000 + 220,500 + 185,220 September EI – 150,000 July BI).

Each unit of product requires three pounds of direct material. The company’s policy is to begin each quarter with an inventory of direct materials equal to 30% of that quarter’s direct material requirements. Budgeted direct materials purchases for the third quarter would be
A. 114,600 pounds.
B. 30,600 pounds.
C. 38,200 pounds.
D. 43,200 pounds.
Answer (A) is correct.
Beginning inventory should be 30,600 pounds (34,000 units of budgeted sales × 3 pounds × 30%). Ending inventory should be 43,200 pounds (48,000 units of budgeted sales for Quarter 4 × 3 pounds × 30%). Since BI plus purchases minus EI equals Quarter 3 budgeted sales, purchases must be 114,600.
30,600 + X – 43,200
=
3 × 34,000
X – 12,600
=
102,000

=
114,600
Which of the following inputs would be most beneficial to consider when management is developing the capital budget?
A. Current product sales prices and costs.
B. Wage trends.
C. Supply/demand for the company’s products.
D. Profit center equipment requests.
D. Profit center equipment requests.
Answer (D) is correct.
The capital budget is part of the financial budget, so its emphasis is on obtaining the funds needed to acquire operating assets. It may be prepared more than a year in advance to allow time to plan financing of major expenditures for such long-term assets as equipment, buildings, and land. Thus, profit center equipment requests are directly relevant to development of the capital budget.
Fact Pattern: Berol Company plans to sell 200,000 units of finished product in July and anticipates a growth rate in sales of 5% per month. The desired monthly ending inventory in units of finished product is 80% of the next month’s estimated sales. There are 150,000 finished units in inventory on June 30. Each unit of finished product requires 4 pounds of direct materials at a cost of $1.20 per pound. There are 800,000 pounds of direct materials in inventory on June 30
Assume Berol Company plans to produce 600,000 units of finished product in the 3-month period ending September 30 and to have direct materials inventory on hand at the end of the 3-month period equal to 25% of the use in that period. The estimated cost of direct materials purchases for the 3-month period ending September 30 is
A. $2,400,000
B. $2,200,000
C. $2,880,000
D. $2,640,000
D. $2,640,000
Answer (D) is correct.
Production of 600,000 units will require 2,400,000 pounds of direct materials (600,000 units × 4 lbs.). In addition, ending inventory will be 25% of the period’s usage, or 600,000 pounds (2,400,000 × 25%). Thus, 3,000,000 total pounds will be needed. However, given 800,000 pounds in inventory, purchases will be only 2,200,000 pounds. At $1.20 per pound, the cost will be $2,640,000.

Hannon Retailing Company prices its products by adding 30% to its cost. Hannon anticipates sales of $715,000 in July, $728,000 in August, and $624,000 in September. Hannon’s policy is to have on hand enough inventory at the end of the month to cover 25% of the next month’s sales. What will be the cost of the inventory that Hannon should budget for purchase in August?
A. $560,000
B. $509,600
C. $680,000
D. $540,000
D. $540,000
Answer (D) is correct.
The first step is to determine the cost of goods sold for each month. Since sales are 130% of cost, cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows:
July
$715,000 ÷ 130%
=
$550,000
August
728,000 ÷ 130%
=
560,000
September
624,000 ÷ 130%
=
480,000
Purchases for August can now be calculated as follows:
Projected sales at cost
$560,000
Add: required ending inventory
($480,000 × 25%)
120,000
Total goods needed
$680,000
Less: beginning inventory
(140,000)
Purchases
$540,000

A cash budget is being prepared for the purchase of Toyi, a merchandise item. Budgeted data are
Cost of goods sold for upcoming year
$300,000
Accounts payable, beginning of upcoming year
20,000
Inventory, beginning of upcoming year
30,000
Inventory, end of upcoming year
42,000
Purchases will be made in 12 equal monthly amounts and paid for in the following month. What is the budgeted cash payment for purchases of Toyi?
A. $312,000
B. $295,000
C. $300,000
D. $306,000
D. $306,000
Answer (D) is correct.
Purchases equal cost of goods sold, plus ending inventory, minus beginning inventory, or $312,000 ($300,000 + $42,000 – $30,000). Purchases are made evenly throughout the year at a rate of $26,000 per month ($312,000 ÷ 12). Given that 11 payments will be made in the upcoming year for that year’s purchases, the total cash payment will be $306,000 [(11 × $26,000) + $20,000 beginning accounts payable balance].
