Question:

Among the items it manufactures Jefferson Wine Accessories (JWA) produces decorative coasters for drinks. In FY2022 JWA sold 400,000 packages containing ten coasters each for $15.00 per package. JWA expects to increase the number of packages sold by 5% annually until it reaches a steady state of 600,000 packages per year. The sales price per package is expected to increase to $16.00 for FY2023.

Coaster sales and production are spread out evenly during the year. JWA targets monthly ending finished goods inventory for this item to equal 80% of the next month's sales. As the company is preparing its FY2023 budget it anticipates the ending inventory for FY2022 to equal 25,000 packages.

Each package requires 0.5 pound of cork. At the end of FY2022, management expects to have 30,000 pounds of cork in raw materials inventory. Each month JWA targets to have raw material stocks of cork equal to the production needs for the following two months. JWA forecasts that for FY2023 and FY2024 the cost of cork will average $9.00 per lb.

All sales of coasters are done through distributors that are given 10 days to pay without incurring late fees. JWA collects 75% of the revenue from it's sales in the month of the sale and 23% in the month following the sale. 2% of sales are written off as bad-debts each month. For 12/31/2022 JWA anticipates having an Accounts Receivable balance of $120,000.

JWA's cork suppliers are paid 80% of monthly purchase charges in the month of the purchase and 20% in the month following the purchase. For 12/31/2022 JWA estimates its Accounts Payable balance to equal $34,000.
