You will find the spreadsheet by clicking on the link in the dropdown menu above. Allison Manufacturing produces a subassembly used in the production of jet aircraft engines. The assembly is sold to engine manufacturers and aircraft maintenance facilities. Projected sales in units for the coming five months follow: The following data pertain to production policies and manufacturing specifications followed by Allison Manufacturing: a. Finished goods inventory on January 1 is 32,000 units, each costing $166.06. The desired ending inventory for each month is 80 percent of the next month's sales. b. The data on materials used are as follows: Inventory policy dictates that sufficient materials be on hand at the beginning of the month to produce 50 percent of the next month's production needs. This is exactly the amount of material on hand on December 31 of the prior year. c. The direct labor used per unit of output is three hours. The average direct labor cost per hour is $14.25. d. Overhead each month is estimated using a flexible budget formula. (Activity is measured in direct labor hours.) e. Monthly selling and administrative expenses are also estimated using a flexible budgeting formula. (Activity is measured in units sold.) f. g. The unit selling price of the subassembly is $205. All sales and purchases are for cash. The cash balance on January 1 equals $400,000. The firm requires a minimum ending balance of $50,000. If the firm develops a cash shortage by the end of the month, sufficient cash is borrowed to cover the shortage. Any cash borrowed is repaid at the end of the quarter, as is the interest due (cash borrowed at the end of the quarter is repaid at the end of the following quarter). The interest rate is 12 percent per annum. No money is owed at the beginning of January. 1. Prepare a monthly operating budget for the first quarter with the following schedules.

Understanding Relationships, Master Budget, Comprehensive Review Optima Company is a hightechnology organization that produces a massstorage system. The design of Optima's system is unique and represents a breakthrough in the industry. The units Optima produces combine positive features of both compact and hard disks. The company is completing its fifth year of operations and is preparing to build its master budget for the coming year (2012). The budget will detail each quarter's activity and the activity for the year in total. The master budget will be based on the following information: a. Fourthquarter sales for 2011 are 55,000 units. b. Unit sales by quarter (for 2012) are projected as follows: The selling price is $400 per unit. All sales are credit sales. Optima collects 85 percent of all sales within the quarter in which they are realized; the other 15 percent is collected in the following quarter. There are no bad debts. c. There is no beginning inventory of finished goods. Optima is planning the following ending finished goods inventories for each quarter: d. Each massstorage unit uses five hours of direct labor and three units of direct materials. Laborers are paid $10 per hour, and one unit of direct materials costs $80. e. There are 65,700 units of direct materials in beginning inventory as of January 1, 2012. At the end of each quarter, Optima plans to have 30 percent of the direct materials needed for next quarter's unit sales. Optima will end the year with the same level of direct materials found in this year's beginning inventory. f. Optima buys direct materials on account. Half of the purchases are paid for in the quarter of acquisition, and the remaining half are paid for in the following quarter. Wages and salaries are paid on the 15th and 30th of each month. g. Fixed overhead totals $1 million each quarter. Of this total, $350,000 represents depreciation. All other fixed expenses are paid for in cash in the quarter incurred. The fixed overhead rate is computed by dividing the year's total fixed overhead by the year's budgeted production in units. h. Variable overhead is budgeted at $6 per direct labor hour. All variable overhead expenses are paid for in the quarter incurred. i. Fixed selling and administrative expenses total $250,000 per quarter, including $50,000 depreciation. j. Variable selling and administrative expenses are budgeted at $10 per unit sold. All selling and administrative expenses are paid for in the quarter incurred. k. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, is as follows: l. Optima will pay quarterly dividends of $300,000. At the end of the fourth quarter, $2 million of equipment will be purchased. Prepare a master budget for Optima Company for each quarter of 2012 and for the year in total. The following component budgets must be included: 1. Sales budget (units and budgeted sales in thousands). Do not include a multiplication symbol as part of your answer. 2. Production budget. (amounts in full, not in thousands) If an amount is zero, enter "0". 3. Direct materials purchases budget (in thousands, except for per unit/hour data). If required, round answers to one decimal place. Do not include a multiplication symbol as part of your answer. 4. Direct labor budget (in thousands, except per unit/hour data). Do not include a multiplication symbol as part of your 5. Overhead budget (in thousands, except per unit/hour data). Do not include a multiplication symbol as part of your answer. 6. Selling and administrative expenses budget (in thousands, except per unit/hour data). Do not include a multiplication symbol as part of your answer. 7. Ending finished goods inventory budget. Enter amounts in full, not in thousands. Round to the nearest cent. 8. Cost of goods sold budget. (Assume that there is no change in workinprocess inventories.) Enter amounts in full, not in thousands. If an amount is zero, enter "0". 9. Cash Budget (in thousands). 12. Cash Budgeting Jordana Krull owns The Eatery in Miami, Florida. The Eatery is an affordable restaurant located near tourist attractions. Jordana accepts cash and checks. Checks are deposited immediately. The bank charges $0.50 per check; the amount per check averages $65. Bad checks that Jordana cannot collect make up 2 percent of check revenue. During a typical month, The Eatery has sales of $75,000. About 75 percent are cash sales. Estimated sales for the next three months are as follows: Jordana thinks that it may be time to refuse to accept checks and to start accepting credit cards. She is negotiating with a credit card processing service that will allow her to accept all major credit cards. She would start the new policy on May 1. Jordana estimates that with the drop in sales from the nochecks policy and the increase in sales from the acceptance of credit cards, the net increase in sales will be 20 percent. The credit card processing service will charge no setup fee, however the following fees and conditions apply: Monthly gateway and statement fee totaling $19, paid on the first day of the month. Discount fee of 2 percent of the total sale. This is not paid separately, instead, the amount that Jordana receives from each credit sale is reduced by 2 percent. For example, on a credit card sale of $150, the processing company would take $3 and remit a net amount of $147 to Jordana's account. Transaction fee of $0.25 per transaction paid at the time of the transaction. There will be a twoday delay between the date of the transaction and the date on which the net amount will be deposited into Jordana's account. On average, 94 percent of a month's net credit card sales will be deposited into her account that month. The remaining 6 percent will be deposited the next month. If Jordana adds credit cards, she believes that cash sales will average just 5 percent of total sales, and that the average credit card transaction will be $50. 1. Prepare a schedule of cash receipts for August and September under the current policy of accepting checks. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Assuming that Jordana decides to accept credit cards,calculate the total estimated credit card transactions for August and September. Number of credit card transactions: August September 3. Prepare a schedule of cash receipts for August and September that incorporates the changes in policy. Round to
