Hello, I am having trouble with this budgeting assignment and I would appreciate any help. I have a general understanding of the content but some explanations surround the different aspects of each budget would be nice. I understand that this is a long question, but the areas I most need help in is direct materials budget, selling and administrative expense budget, and the cash budget. I have included a completed sales budget, production and manufacturing overhead budget and Direct Labour budget. Please help me! #11- Should say Accounts Receivable rather than Accounts Payable The Schedule of expected cash collections; accounts receivable, amount collected aren't set in stone, I'm not exactly sure what should go there, this is the same situation for direct materials cash disbursement for the purchase of materials. Other wording is acceptable. The tax remittance should be $250 every month in the cash budget. This is truly all of the information I have for this assignment. Thank you!

Budget Information Based on your discussions with the various departments throughout the company, you have collected the following relevant information for preparing the budget: Sales 1. The marketing department is forecasting the following annual sales: For the year ended December 31, 2019: 7,000 units at $925 each* For the year ended December 31, 2020: 8,500 units at $925 each . For the year ended December 31, 2021: 11,000 units at $925 each *Expected sales for the year ended December 31, 2019 were based on actual sales to date and budgeted sales for the duration of the year. 2. Peak months for sales generally correspond with summer weather and gift-giving holidays. History shows that January is the slowest month, with only 1% of annual sales, followed closely behind by Feb-April with 2% of annual sales for each month. Sales spike during summer months with May, June, July, and August contributing 12%, 15%, 12%, and 10% of annual sales respectively. With the back-to-school focus in September, there is a significant dip in camera drone sales to 3% of annual sales. As Christmas shopping picks up momentum, winter sales increase to 8% in October, 13% in November, and then peak at 20% in December. This pattern of sales is not expected to change in the next two years. Manufacturing Costs and Inventory 3. Each camera drones spends a total of 6.75 hours in production. 4. Due to the highly technical nature of CamDrone's manufacturing process, CamDrone's direct labour rate has averaged $36.00 per hour for 2019. This rate already includes the employer's portion of employee benefits. A new collective agreement is being negotiated, with a 3% pay increase anticipated effective January 1, 2020. 5. Each CamDrone requires 1.55kg of direct materials. During 2019, the average cost of direct materials was $61/kg. The supplier of the direct materials tends to be somewhat erratic, so CamDrone finds it necessary to maintain a direct materials inventory balance equal to 40% of the following month's production needs as a precaution against stock-outs. 6. 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 variable manufacturing overhead rate for 2019 is $175/unit, consisting of: Plant & Equipment Maintenance $73 Utilities 45 Indirect Materials 37 Other 20 $1757. The fixed manufacturing overhead costs for 2019 are as follows: Supervisor's salary $181,800 Amortization of Plant & Equipment 132,000 Insurance 84,000 Training & Development 54,750 Property and Business Taxes 48,000 Other 30.000 $530.550 Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method, with no amortization calculated in the year capital assets are acquired. 8. Aside from amortization, all other manufacturing costs are expected to increase by 3% in 2020 due to inflation. 9. From previous experience, management has determined that an ending finished goods inventory equal to 25% of the next month's sales is required to efficiently meet customer demands. Collections Pattern 10. Sales are on a cash and credit basis, with 49% collected during the month of the sale, 33% the following month, and 15% the month thereafter. There are no early payment discounts for customers. Bad debt expense (amounts considered uncollectible) account for 3% of sales. 11. Based on the collection pattern described above, accounts payable as at end of business day on December 31, 2019 is projected to be $1,098,899 arising from the following estimates: Sales (November 2019) $1,170,000 Sales (December 2019) 1,800,000 Payments Pattern 12. CamDrone pays for 20% of a month's purchases of direct materials in the month of purchase, 50% in the following month and the remaining 30% two months after the month of purchase. There are no early payment discounts offered by suppliers. 13. Based on the payment pattern described above, accounts payable as at end of business day on December 31, 2019 is projected to be $78,641 arising from the following estimates: Direct Material Purchases (November 2019) $95,888 Direct Material Purchases (December 2019) 62,334 14. All payroll costs are paid in the period in which they are incurred. 15. The property and business taxes, paid at the beginning of July each year, apply to the following 12-month period. Any increases for inflation on property and business taxes do not take effect until the beginning of July each year.16. Annual insurance premiums, paid at the beginning of April each year, apply to the following 12-month period. Any increases for inflation on insurance premiums do not take effect until the beginning of April each year. 17. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are incurred evenly over the year and "cash- related" amounts are paid as incurred. 18. Selling and administrative expenses are paid in the month in which they occur. Other 19. Anticipating a significant increase in customer demand and market share over the next few years, CamDrone is planning a significant expansion involving acquiring additional manufacturing equipment for $3,000,000 cash. Half of this amount is to be paid to the equipment supplier in July 2020, with the remainder to be paid in October 2020. 20. Selling and administrative expenses are known to be a mixed cost; however, there is a lot of uncertainty about the portion that is fixed. Based on prior year experience: Lowest level of monthly sales: 80 units .. Total Operating Expenses: $87,270* Highest level of monthly sales: 1,600 units .. Total Operating Expenses: $360,780* * excluding bad debts and amounts described below These expenses are expected to increase by 3% in 2020 due to inflation. 21. To secure and grow its market share, CamDrone is planning to operate "pop-up" kiosks in various local retail centers during peak sales months (May-Aug, Nov-Dec) commencing Nov2019. CamDrone is budgeting $10,900 per month (including all related fees and taxes), payable at the beginning of each month, to set-up and operate these kiosks. The cost to set-up and operate "pop-up" kiosks will be in addition to the normal selling and administrative expenses described above and is not expected to increase during 2020. 22. Income tax expense is estimated to be 25% of net income. CamDrone makes monthly income tax installment payments of $250 and pays all outstanding income taxes (in excess of installment payments) in March of the following year. As such, any outstanding income tax balance for the year ended December 31, 2019 it will be paid in March 2020. 23. An arrangement has been made with the local bank that if CamDrone maintains a minimum balance of $50,000 in their bank account, they will be given a line of credit at a preferred rate of 3% per annum (0.25% per month). 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 $10,000 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. 24. CamDrone has a policy of paying dividends at the end of each quarter. The President tells you that the Board of Directors is planning on declaring dividends as follows: March 2020 $125,000 June 2020 175,000 September 2020 325,000 December 2020 325,000 Dividends are paid in the month they are declared.25. The company is forecasting the following balances as at the end of business day on December 31, 2019: Assets Cash $100.000 Accounts Receivable 1,098.899 Inventory: Direct Materials 3,591 Inventory: Finished Goods 11.640 Prepaid Property and Business Taxes 24.000 Prepaid Insurance 21,000 Capital Assets (Net) 571.800 Total Assets 1.830.930 Liabilities & Shareholders' Equity Accounts Payable $78.641 Income Taxes Payable 19,700 Capital Stock 500.000 Retained Earnings 1.232.589 Total Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity S1 830 930G M N P a R CamDrone CHECK FIGURES: Cash Budget For the year ended December 31, 2020 Total Disbursements for June = $1,138,142 Ending Cash Balance for August = $54,021 January Feburary March April May June July August September October November December Year Line of Credit Balance for November = $3,690,000 Cash Balance (beginning) Add: Collections from Customers Less Cash Disbursements: Direct Materials Direct Labour Manufacturing Overhead Selling and Administrative Expenses Tax Remittances Tax Balances Payable Prepaid Property and Business Taxes Prepaid Insurance Capital Asset Purchases Dividend Payments Total Disbursements Excess (Deficiency) of Cash Available Over Disbursements Financing: Borrowing (beginning of month) Interest Expense (paid monthly) Repayment (end of month) Total Financing Cash Balance (ending) Line of Credit Running Total (end of month)D M Cam Drone Production Budget CHECK FIGURES: For the year ended December 31, 2020 Required Production for October = 786 (all amounts in Units) #NAME?

Rounding calculations: For calculation of COGS and ending Finished Goods Inventory, carry the MOH cost/unit to 4 decimal places For calculations involving Direct Materials, round all kg to 2 decimal places For calculations involving Direct Labour, round all hours to the nearest hour Round all units of product to full units (e-g. Sales, Finished Goods Inventory, Production, etc.) Aside from MOH cost/unit, round all other dollar amounts less than $100 to the nearest cent Aside from MOH cost/unit, round all other dollar amounts greater than $1,000 to the nearest dollar To round a number in excel use the formula =ROUND(value, number of decimals spots). For e.g., if I wanted to round the number 23.4567 to two decimal places, I would enter the following into excel 0 =ROUND(23.4567.2) 2. Do not hardcode your numbers. This means you enter all the necessary budget data into the worksheet entitled DATA, and use reference to these cells and formulas to complete the other tables and schedules. When grading your project, I will randomly audit cells to see if they are properly referenced, or if data has been hardcoded. If you hardcode data, you will automatically lose 15pts on the assignment.Overview As part of the continued advancement of technology, a drone camera market has emerged in recent years.
