Front Page Video Games loves the work you did for them on their Last Spike video game facility so now they want you to do an even more detailed analysis for a second manufacturing facility they are planning to run that will make a completely different game called First Spike.

Sale price per unit is: $22
Cost per unit is: $11

Cash flows for unit costs in any month is the cost per unit times the units produced in the prior month because all unit costs are purchased on account (Accounts Payable) in the month produced and paid in full the following month. Similarly, Other Cash Payments in a month are payments regarding other expenses purchased on account in the prior month.

Front Page wants to keep its facility running with a level production policy, but they realize this might not be entirely realistic. To save capital investment they are purchasing used equipment that will require extensive repairs and maintenance twice a year. This means that in June and December they will only be able to produce a maximum number of units of 5000 Units.

First Spike sales are expected to be a mix of direct online cash sales and various distributors. The distributor's sales will all be on account. Cash receipts from distributor sales are expected to be received across the two months following the sale.


Front Page expects cash receipts to be approximately:

Cash sales

30%

A/R from 1 month prior

70%

A/R from 2 months prior

30%

  1. Construct a monthly production and inventory schedule in units. (Note: To do part a, you should work in terms of units of production and units of sales.)
  2. Prepare a monthly schedule of cash receipts.
  3. Prepare a monthly schedule of cash payments.
  4. Prepare a monthly cash budget.
  5. Use this additional information to prepare the monthly balance sheet and determine the shareholder equity fluctuations for each month.
    Property, Plant & Equipment = $750,000
    Bonds Payable (long term) = $450,000
