Question:
Payne Company's management requests that we prepare its master budget. The budget is to cover the months of April, May, and June. Its balance sheet at March 31 follows.
Additional Information
a. Sales for March were 10,000 units. Budgeted sales units are 10,500 for April, 9,500 for May, 10,000 for June, and 10,500 for July. The product's selling price is $25 per unit.
b. Company policy calls for month-end finished goods inventory to equal 80% of next month's budgeted unit sales. The March 31 finished goods inventory of 8,400 units complies with the policy.
Company policy also calls for month-end materials inventory to equal 50% of next month's budgeted direct materials needed for production. The March 31 ending materials inventory of 2,425 units complies with the policy. The company expects to have 2,100 units of materials inventory on June 30 . Product cost information follows.
c. Sales commissions of 12% of sales are paid in the month of the sales. The sales manager's monthly salary will be $3,500 in April and $4,000 per month thereafter.
d. Monthly general and administrative expenses include $8,000 for administrative salaries and 0.9% monthly interest on the long-term note payable.
e. The company expects 30% of sales to be for cash and the remaining 70% on credit. Credit sales are collected in full in the month following the sale (none are collected in the month of sale).
f. All direct materials purchases are on credit, and no payables arise from any other transactions. All credit purchases (recorded in accounts payable) are paid in the month following the purchase. Materials cost $12.60 per pound.
g. The minimum ending cash balance for all months is $50,000. If necessary, the company borrows enough cash using a loan to reach the minimum. Loans require an interest payment of 1% at each month-end (before any repayment). If the ending cash balance exceeds the minimum, the excess will be used to repay any loans.
