Bright World LLC (BW) distributes sunglasses to small retail stores in the Midwest part of the United States. BW does not manufacture the sunglasses, but instead buys the sunglasses from foreign sources and resells the sunglasses to small retail stores. It is December of 2020 and you have been hired as BWs Budget Manager. BWs President, Gary Christens, has asked you to prepare a master budget for 2021. You have gathered the following information and are ready to begin preparing the budget.

Sales Information for BW:

Actual sales 2020 1st quarter 2nd quarter 3rd quarter 4th quarter	Pairs of Sunglasses sold 70,000 94,000 36,000 40,000
Forecasted sales 2021 1st quarter 2nd quarter 3rd quarter 4th quarter 1st quarter 2022	65,000 91,000 45,000 28,000 58,000

Shipping firms and U.S. Customs have previously delayed sunglass shipments arriving from the foreign manufacturers. BW management has addressed this concern by establishing a policy that the ending inventory for a quarter should be 50% of the next quarters sales.

All sunglasses are sold for $12 per pair. All sales are on credit with no discount, and are payable in 30 days. BW has found that only 20% of a quarters sales are collected in the quarter of sale, with an additional 60% collected in the quarter following the sale, and the remaining 20% is collected in the second quarter following the sale. Bad debts have been insignificant and are not budgeted.

BW buys sunglasses from foreign suppliers. BW pays $5 per pair of sunglasses. 40% of a quarters purchase is paid for in the quarter of purchase, the other 60% is paid for in the quarter following the quarter of purchase.

BW plans to purchase new computer equipment costing $22,000 during the second quarter of 2021 and a new packing machine for $40,000 during the 3rd quarter of 2021. Both of these equipment purchases will be for cash at the time of the purchase.

BW has a regular dividend pattern which is expected to continue during 2021. This pattern involves BWs board of directors declaring a $25,000 quarterly dividend on March 15th, June 15th, September 15th, and December 15th. The dividends are paid 30 days after the boards declaration.

Quarterly Operating Expenses expected for 2021:

Variable Expenses: Sales Commission	5% of sales revenue
Fixed Expenses: Advertising Rent Salaries Utilities Insurance Depreciation (includes the projected 2021 purchases)	$200,000 $18,000 $113,000 $9,000 $6,000 $14,000

Sales commissions are accrued in the quarter the sales are made, but are paid to the sales staff in the next quarter.

Insurance for a twelve month period is prepaid on October 1 of each year. All other expenses are paid in the quarter incurred. T

he company requires a minimum cash balance of $50,000. All borrowings and repayments are done in even $1,000 increments. All borrowings are done on the first day of the quarter, and repayments are made on the last day of the quarter. Interest for all monies borrowed during a quarter is computed and accrued on the last day of the quarter and paid to the bank in the following quarter. Money borrowed is charged interest at a 7% annual rate.

[Borrowing and Interest Example - If BW computes that the company will need to borrow $20,000 for the first quarter, the loan would occur on January 1 and interest expense during the first quarter would be $350 and this interest would be paid to the bank in the second quarter. If in the second quarter, BW determines that it will be able to repay the $20,000 loan, the repayment would occur on the last day of the second quarter or June 30. Interest expense for the second quarter would $350 and this interest would be paid in the third quarter.]
