Lynsay Specialties manufactures, among other things, woolen blankets for the athletic teams of the two local high schools.

Manufacturing overhead (both variable and fixed) is allocated to each blanket on the basis of budgeted direct manufacturing labor-hours per blanket.

The budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead for March 2020 is $14,640. Both variable and fixed manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to each unit of finished goods. Finished Goods Inventory Data relating to finished goods inventory for March 2020 are as follows Sales and Other Information Budgeted sales for March 2020 are 130 units of the Broncos blankets and 190 units of the Rams blankets. The budgeted selling prices per unit in March 2020 are $229 for the Broncos blankets and $296 for the Rams blankets. Assume the following in your answer: - Work-in-process inventories are negligible and ignored. - Direct materials inventory and finished goods inventory are costed using the FIFO method. - Unit costs of direct materials purchased and finished goods are constant in March 2020. Requirements 1. Prepare the following budgets for March 2020: a. Revenues budget b. Production budget in units c. Direct material usage budget and direct material purchases budget d. Direct manufacturing labor costs budget e. Manufacturing overhead costs budget f. Ending inventories budget (direct materials and finished goods) g. Cost of goods sold budget 2. Suppose Lynsay Specialties decides to incorporate continuous improvement into its budgeting process. Describe two areas where it could incorporate continuous improvement into the budget schedules in requirement 1. Begin with the physical units portion, then prepare the cost budget portion of the direct material usage budget. (For amounts with a zero balance, make sure to enter "0" in the appropriate cell.)
