Batman Motors, Inc. (BMI) sells both new and used cars and also provides car repair and maintenance services.BMI is 100% owned by Robin, an individual.BMI buys its cars using a line of credit from Little Penguin Bank.The LoC requires monthly payments of interest.The interest payment is due on the first of each month for the prior month's interest.Interest expense through the end of October was $525,000.At the end of November, BMI's principle on the LoC was $9,585,000 and the interest rate for November (it is a floating rate based on the US prime rate) was 6.5% annually.At the end of December, the balance on the LoC was $10,750,000 and the interest rate had reset to 6.25%.Each June 30^th, the LoC is "refreshed" with a new LoC where the old one is paid off and a new one is implemented.

BMI offers extended warranty products to the buyers of used cars.The warranty lasts for 1 year or 15,000 miles, whichever comes first and covers 100% of any non-routine maintenance and repairs.The cost of each warranty is $2,500 per vehicle.Buyers are not required to purchase the extended warranty, but are highly encouraged by the sales people and the finance people who work for BMI.BMI expects to incur, on average, $925 of costs in the future per used car sold.

Buyers of new cars can also buy "care packages" for their new cars which cover 100% of routine maintenance and any repairs not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.Generally, this package covers a 1 year period from the date of purchase of the new car and costs $4,250.If the buyer chooses, the amount can be included in the overall purchase of the car and financed as long as the financing is done through Batman Motor Credit (BMC).The expected cost of providing these services on a per car basis is $1,750.

BMI does business in the Elk Grove auto mall in Elk Grove California.California also requires registration and DMV fees to be collected and remitted by BMI directly to the state.For both new and used cars, the state requires 9% of the car purchase cost to be collected and remitted as fees/registration.BMI has 10 days after month end to calculate and remit the total amount collected for the fees/registration.

BMI has three general types of employees and each group is compensated differently.The first group consists of sales people who are paid based on a flat fee of $60 per car they sell plus a commission of 8% of the agreed upon sales price.Commissions are paid on the 15^th of each month based upon the prior calendar month (i.e. December sales commissions will be paid on January 15^th).Sales people do not accrue any vacation, but are considered employees.

The second group consists of the mechanics and other service related personnel.These folks are paid hourly and average hourly pay for this group is $45/hour.Service people accrue 2 weeks of vacation annually and are limited to a maximum accrual at any one time of 10 days of vacation.Vacation is paid only when an employee either leaves the company or takes their time off in a subsequent year.There are 15 service people employees, 12 of whom have maxed their accrual.The other three have used all of their earned vacation.BMI's service department is open every day except Sunday, but no one is allowed to work more than 40 hours per week to avoid overtime costs.

The third group consists of the remainder of the administrative team, including the finance folks and any other people necessary to running the overall business.There are 10 of these people and each of them is paid a fixed salary.Average monthly salary for this group is $150,000.All of them earn more than the Social Security wage limit.These folks get 15 days of vacation per year, and all of them have maximized their accrual at the end of the year.

As Robin is the sole owner of BMI, but does not do any actual work for the Company, she takes money out of the corporation monthly to help pay her personal expenses.Her monthly distribution is $25,000 and is paid on the 10^th of each month.Her legal team has advised her to make sure to document this transaction every single month in the monthly corporate meeting minutes.

The local utility bills BMI on the 18^th of each month for the prior month's use of electricity, water, garbage and all other public utility costs.The actual bill received in January of the prior year was $2,200.BMI has not done any expansion during 2018.BMI's average utility bill for each month was $2,350.

In January, a local law firm served notice to BMI that it had been retained by an individual who had purchased a used car from BMI and that was involved in an accident on December 28, 2018.The plaintiff is suing for physical, emotional and other damages totaling $1 million.BMI has passed the notice on to their outside lawyers but plans on vigorously contesting the suit on any grounds available.

Because it is December, BMI has also sold a significant amount of gift cards.The gift cars are sold in minimum increments of $100 and are redeemable only for services, not against purchase of vehicles. During December, BMI sold 1,300 gift cards and had 365 redeemed for services during December, and another 375 redeemed in January.At the beginning of December, the un-redeemed gift cards totaled 975 cards (all of which were sold during 2018), of which 120 were between 12-15 months old.BMI's policy is to begin breaking gift cards after the card is outstanding for 18 months.

During December, BMI sold the following number of cars:

Used cars sold:180

Average used car sales price$10,975

Robin understands the value of an audit of the financial numbers, so hires an outside auditing firm to ensure that the financial statements are correctly stated under GAAP.She agrees with the firm to complete the audit by the end of January 2019 and pays in advance for of the agreed upon total fee.The total fee for the audit is $54,000.The remainder will be paid upon delivery of the auditor opinion as part of the financial statements.
