Budgeting Assumptions:

Sixty percent of sales are cash sales and 40 percent of sales are credit sales. Twenty percent of all credit sales are collected in the month of sale and the remaining 80 percent are collected in the month subsequent to the sale.

Budgeted sales for July are $133,000 while the budgeted cost of goods sold is 60%.

10% of merchandise inventory purchases are paid in cash at the time of the purchase. The remaining 90% of purchases are credit purchases. All purchases on credit are paid in the month subsequent to the purchase.

Each months ending merchandise inventory should equal $13,000 plus 50% of the next months cost of goods sold.

Depreciation expense is $1,400 per month. All other selling and administrative expenses are paid in full in the month the expense is incurred.

Required:

1. Calculate the expected cash collections for April, May, and June.

2. Calculate the budgeted merchandise purchases for April, May, and June.

3. Calculate the expected cash disbursements for merchandise purchases for April, May, and June.

4. Prepare a budgeted balance sheet at June 30. (Hint: You need to calculate the cash paid for selling and administrative expenses during April, May, and June to determine the cash balance in your June 30 balance sheet.)
