April 14,100

May 27,300

August 17,700

Below is additional information that may be relevant in preparing the budgets.

• The company produces and sells a product for $25.00 per unit.

• To guard against inventory stockouts, the company has a policy of maintaining an ending

  inventory of 20% of the following months budgeted sales. At the beginning of April, the

  company had 2,820 units in inventory.

• Each unit of output requires 2 kilograms of direct material. To guard against stockouts of raw

  materials, the company has a policy of maintaining a raw materials inventory of 15% of the following months production. At the beginning of April, the company has 5,022 kilograms of direct materials on hand. Each kilogram of direct materials costs $3.00.

• Each unit of output requires 0.2 hours (12 minutes) of direct labour and employees are paid a standard rate of $22.00 per hour.

• The company applies overhead using a variable rate of $10.00 per direct labour hour. The fixed overhead is $22,500 per month.

• Fifty percent of sales are made in cash. The remaining 50% of sales are made on account. The company collects 60% of sales made on account in the month of the sale, 20% in the month following the sale, and 12% in the second month following the sale. The company had total sales revenue of $157,500 in February and $236,250 in March.
