Question:
On 1 December 2018, Tire-Lire, SNC, is attempting to project cash receipts and disbursements to 31 January 2019. On this latter date, a note will be payable in the amount of €100,000. This amount was borrowed in September to carry the company through the seasonal peak in November and December.
The trial balance on 1 December shows in part the following information:
Cash .......................................................................................... €10,000
Debtors ..................................................................................... 280,000
Allowance for bad debts ....................................................... €15,800
Stock ............................................................................................ 87,500
Creditors .....................................................................................92,000
Sales terms call for a 2% discount if payment is made within the first 10 days of the month after purchase, with the balance due by the end of the month after purchase. Experience has shown that 70% of the billings will be collected within the discount period, 20% by the end of the month after purchase, 8% in the following month, and that 2% will be uncollectable. There are no cash sales.
The average selling price of the company’s products is €100 per unit. Actual and projected sales are
October actual ..................................................................................... €180,000
November actual ................................................................................. 250,000
December estimated ......................................................................... 300,000
January estimated ..................................................................................... 150,000
February estimated ............................................................................ 120,000
Total estimated for year ending 30 June 2019 .................................. 1500,000
All purchases are payable within 15 days. Thus approximately 50% of the purchases in a month are due and payable in the next month. The average unit purchase cost is €70. Target closing stocks are 500 units plus 25% of the next month’s unit sales.
Total budgeted marketing, distribution and customer-service costs for the year are €400,000. Of this amount, €150,000 is considered fixed (and includes depreciation of €30,000). The remainder varies with sales. Both fixed and variable marketing, distribution and customer-service costs are paid as incurred.
Required
Prepare a cash budget for December and January. Supply supporting schedules for collections of receivables for raw materials, and marketing, distribution and customer-service costs.
