MGMT1600 Managerial Accounting Case 2 - Master Budget 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 summer of 2016, Katie and Pia, the HES, Inc. controllers, spent considerable time with Judy and Emiko, the Managers of Marketing, putting together a sales forecast for the next budget year (January to December, 2017). Unfortunately, they submitted their resignation and a sales forecast to the President Council of HES, Inc. Kenny Roger, Yekaterina, Ingrid, and Deepti Their sales forecast consisted of these few lines: For the year ended December 31, 2016: 475,000 units at $10.00 each* For the year ended December 31, 2017: 500,000 units at $10.00 each For the year ended December 31, 2018: 500,000 units at $10.00 each *Expected sales for the year ended December 31, 2016 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 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. Valentines 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 MGMT1600 Managerial Accounting Case 2 - Master Budget 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 2016: SAA purchases in November 2016: SAA purchases in December 2016 $223,875.00 $162,563.50 6. HES, Inc. manufacturing process is highly automated, so their direct labour cost is low. Employees are paid on a per unit basis. Their total pay each month is, therefore, dependent on production volumes and averages $9.00 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 $1.30, consisting of: Utilities--$0.60; Indirect Materials--$0.20; 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 Property and business taxes Supervisor's salary Amortization on equipment Insurance Other $ 43,200 39,000 149,400 178,800 96,000 117,600 $ 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 year's experience has provided the following information: Lowest level of sales: Highest level of sales: 375,000 units 750,000 units Total Operating Expenses: $778,710 Total Operating Expenses: $1,022,460 MGMT1600 Managerial Accounting Case 2 - Master Budget 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 55% collected during the month of the sale, 35% 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 2016 are expected to be $700,000 and $1,500,000 respectively. Based on the above collection pattern this will result in Accounts Receivable of $734,000 at December 31, 2016 which will be collected in January and February, 2017. 12. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, HES, Inc. will be required to make monthly income tax installment payments of $5,000. Outstanding income taxes from the year ended December 31, 2016 must be paid in April 2017. Income tax expense is estimated to be 25% of net income. Income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2017, in excess of installment payments, will be paid in April, 2018. 13. HES, Inc. is planning to acquire additional manufacturing equipment for $204,300 cash. 40% of this amount is to be paid in November 2017, the rest, in December 2017. 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 $50,000 per quarter. MGMT1600 Managerial Accounting Case 2 - Master Budget 16.
