Iguana, Incorporated, manufactures bamboo picture frames that sell for $30 each. Each frame requires 4 linear feet of bamboo, which costs $3.00 per foot. Each frame takes approximately 30 minutes to build, and the labor rate averages $11 per hour. Iguana has the following inventory policies: Ending finished goods inventory should be 40 percent of next months sales. Ending direct materials inventory should be 30 percent of next months production. Expected unit sales (frames) for the upcoming months follow:

March 300

April 300

May 350

June 450

July 425

August 475

Variable manufacturing overhead is incurred at a rate of $0.30 per unit produced. Annual fixed manufacturing overhead is estimated to be $9,600 ($800 per month) for expected production of 4,000 units for the year. Selling and administrative expenses are estimated at $850 per month plus $0.60 per unit sold.

Iguana, Incorporated, had $12,800 cash on hand on April 1. Of its sales, 80 percent is in cash. Of the credit sales, 50 percent is collected during the month of the sale, and 50 percent is collected during the month following the sale.

Of direct materials purchases, 80 percent is paid for during the month purchased and 20 percent is paid in the following month. Direct materials purchases for March 1 totaled $3,500. All other operating costs are paid during the month incurred. Monthly fixed manufacturing overhead includes $200 in depreciation. During April, Iguana plans to pay $3,500 for a piece of equipment.

Required:

1. Compute the budgeted cash receipts for Iguana.

2. Compute the budgeted cash payments for Iguana.

3. Prepare the cash budget for Iguana. Assume the company can borrow in increments of $1,000 to maintain a $12,000 minimum cash balance. No interest is charged if the loan is paid off by the end of the next quarter.

I am confused on the Budgeted Cash Payments portion of the assignment. Any help would be appreciated!
