MasterBudgetCase Study
You and your team are part of the budget analyst office with Patrick's Widget Company. Your supervisor has tasked your team with preparingthe 20X2 Master Budget for one of Patrick's Widget Company's product, the zTec Widget. In addition, your supervisor wants to get your team'sopinion on a few changes upper management would like to take in 20X2 and whether they should pull the trigger on a few different options inthemanufacturingprocess.
Belowistheinformationrequired tomakethe20X2MasterBudgetforzTecWidget:

Each widget sells for $12.00 per until, however management has implemented a sales price change to $12.50 in August of 20x2. This change hasbeen communicated to all customers and will not be rolled back or changed. All sales are on account and Patrick's Widget Company's experiencewith cash collections is that 60% is collected in the month of sale, 30% is collected in the first month AFTER the sale and the final 10% is collectedinthesecondmonthAFTERthesale. Thecompanydoesn'texpectany baddebtduringthe yearandis ignored.

Each widget requires 2.5 pounds of plastics in order to produce. Patrick's Widget Company desires 80% of the next month's raw material ininventory at the end of each month. It is expected that on January 1, 20X2, the beginning raw materials inventory will be 8,500 pounds. The costof 1 pound of plastics is $0.89 until July when the price will go up to $0.94 per pound. All raw materials are paid for in the month it was acquiredandno payablerelatedtothe purchaseofrawmaterial areincurredforthefollowingyear.

Part2
Yoursupervisorhasmentioned thatatabudget-planningmeeting,theresearchanddevelopmentteammentionedthattheycouldinvest
$80,000 on a new equipment that can be acquired in June 20X2 (the equipment would be delivered in June and payment would be due on June15th) and it would reduce the required raw materials required per unit from 2.5 lbs to 1.75 lbs and with the reduction of raw materials andimproved efficiency, there would also be a decline in direct-labor hours needed per unit from .25 to .15 direct-labor hour per unit.Even thoughthe equipment will be received in June, the machine will not be ready for production until July (meaning the first month in which the companywill receive thebenefits ofthemachine isin July).
Make a revised master budget assuming these changes are implemented. (Note: You should make Part 1 first, then copy your sheet in yourworkbook and change the appropriate information to reflect the new information. Review and check to ensure you numbers are correct aftermakingthe change- don't blindlythink theentiresheetwillmakethe change).
Part3
The President of the company doesn't believe making a $80,000 investment is prudent because it would be a significant cash drain in June and ifan emergency occurred, it would be difficult to make payroll. Instead, the President has mentioned that if the company invest $30,000 inengineering design improvements, they could achieve a 0.5 pound of plastic reduction per unit and see a 0.05 reduction in direct-labor hour perunit.Becausethisisadesignchange,the companybelievesthepaymentwillbemadein JulyandtheimplementationcouldalsooccurinJuly.

Part4
Make a memo discussing which of the three options the company should choose based on your master budget analysis and why. Whendiscussing which of the three options the company should choose, provide greater emphasis on the ability to generate the greatest cash output.Although it is easy to emphasize unknown facts (for instance how long does the machine will work, what the machine capacity, what to do withemployeeswhoare nolonger needed), staywithinthe information providedwithinthis case.
