Master Budget Case: HES, Inc.

HES, Inc. is a company that manufactures and sells a single product, which they call a Smarty. For

planning and control purposes they utilize a monthly master budget, which is usually developed at least

six months in advance of the budget year. Their fiscal year end is December 31.

During the spring of 2019, Jack, the HES, Inc. controllers, spent considerable time with Andrea, the

Managers of Marketing, putting together a sales forecast for the next budget years. Unfortunately, they

submitted their resignation and a sales forecast to the President Council of HES, Inc. Connor.

Their sales forecast consisted of these few lines:

For the year ended December 31, 2019: 575,000 units at $11.00 each*

For the year ended December 31, 2020: 600,000 units at $11.00 each

For the year ended December 31, 2021: 600,000 units at $11.00 each

*Consider expected sales for the year ended December 31, 2019 are based on actual sales to date and

budgeted sales for the duration of the year.

The President, desperately needing the budget completed, has approached you, a graduate

management accounting student, for help in preparing the budget for the coming fiscal year. Your

conversations with the president and your investigations of the company's records have revealed the

following information:

1. Peak months for sales correspond with gift-giving holidays. History shows that January, March,

May and June are the slowest months with only 1% of sales for each month. Sales pick up over

the summer with July, August and September each contributing 2% to the total. Valentine's Day

in February boosts sales to 5%, and Easter in April accounts for 10%. As Christmas shopping

picks up momentum, winter sales start at 15% in October, move to 20% in November and then

peak at 40% in December. This pattern of sales is not expected to change in the next two years.

2. From previous experience, management has determined that an ending inventory equal to 25%

of the next month's sales is required to fit the buyer's demands.

3. Because sales are seasonal, HES, Inc. must rent an additional storage facility from September to

December to house the additional inventory on hand. The only related cost is a flat $20,000 per

month, payable at the beginning of the month.

4. There is only one type of raw material used in the production of Smartys. Space-age acrylic

(SAA) is a very compact material that is purchased in powder form. Each Smarty requires 5

kilograms of SAA, at a cost of $0.45 per kilogram. The supplier of SAA tends to be somewhat

erratic so HES, Inc. finds it necessary to maintain an inventory balance equal to 40% of the

following month's production needs as a precaution against stock-outs. HES, Inc. pays for 20%

of a month's purchases in the month of purchase, 45% in the following month and the

remaining 35% two months after the month of purchase. There is no early payment discount.

5. Beginning accounts payable will consist of $208,406.50 arising from the following estimated

direct material purchases for November and December of 2019:

SAA purchases in November 2019: $223,875.0

SAA purchases in December 2019 $162,563.50

6. HES, Inc. manufacturing process is highly automated, so their direct labor cost is low. Employees

are paid on a per unit basis. Their total pay each month is, therefore, dependent on production

volumes and averages $9.50 per hour. This rate already includes the employer's portion of

employee benefits. All payroll costs are paid in the period in which they are incurred.

Each unit spends a total of 18 minutes in production.

7. Due to the similarity of the equipment in each of the production stages and the company's

concentration on a single product, manufacturing overhead is allocated based on volume (i.e.

the units produced). The unit variable overhead manufacturing rate is $1.40, consisting

of: Utilities--$0.65; Indirect Materials--$0.25; Plant maintenance--$0.30; environmental fee--

$0.14; and Other--$0.06.

8. The fixed manufacturing overhead costs for the entire year are as follows:

Training and development $ 43,200

Property and business taxes 39,000

Supervisor's salary 149,400

Amortization on equipment 178,800

Insurance 96,000

Other 117,600

$ 624,000

The property and business taxes are paid on June 30 of each year. The expected payment for

next year is $39,600.

The annual insurance premium is paid at the beginning of September each year. There should be

no change in the premium from last year.

All other "cash-related" fixed manufacturing overhead costs are incurred evenly over the year

and paid as incurred.

HES, Inc. uses the straight-line method of amortization.

9. Selling and administrative expenses are known to be a mixed cost; however, there is a lot of

uncertainty about the portion that is fixed. Previous years' experience has provided the

following information:

Lowest level of sales: 375,000 units Total Operating Expenses: $878,710

Highest level of sales: 750,000 units Total Operating Expenses: $1,122,460

These costs are paid in the month in which they occur. Not included in the above expenses is

bad debt expense.

10. Sales are on a cash and credit basis, with 60% collected during the month of the sale, 30% the

following month, and 9.5% the month thereafter. of 1% of sales are considered uncollectible

(bad debt expense).

11. Sales in November and December 2019 are expected to be $750,000 and $1,600,000

respectively. Based on the above collection pattern this will result in Accounts Receivable of

$703,250 at December 31, 2019 which will be collected in January and February 2020.

12. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, HES, Inc. will be required to make monthly

income tax installment payments of $5,000. Outstanding income taxes from the year ended

December 31, 2019 must be paid in April 2020. Income tax expense is estimated to be 25% of

net income. Income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2019, in excess of installment

payments, will be paid in April 2020.

13. HES, Inc. is planning to acquire additional manufacturing equipment for $240,000 cash. 45% of

this amount is to be paid in November 2020, the rest, in December 2020. The manufacturing

overhead costs shown above already include the amortization on this equipment.

14. An arrangement has been made with the local bank that if HES, Inc. maintains a minimum

balance of $20,000 in their bank account, they will be given a line of credit at a preferred rate of

6% per annum. All borrowing is considered to happen on the first day of the month,

repayments are on the last day of the month. All borrowings and repayments from the bank

should be in multiples of $1,000 and interest must be paid at the end of each month. Interest is

calculated on the balance at the beginning of the month, which includes any amounts borrowed

that month.

15. HES, Inc. has a policy of paying dividends at the end of each quarter. The president tells you that

the board of directors is planning on continuing their policy of declaring dividends of $60,000

per quarter.

16. A listing of the estimated balances in the company's ledger accounts as of December 31, 2019 is

given below:
