Question 8) and 9) to be solved below

Garden Sales, Inc., sells garden supplies. Management is planning its cash needs for the second quarter. The company usually has to borrow money during this quarter to support peak sales of lawn care equipment, which occur during May. The following information has been assembled to assist in preparing a cash budget for the quarter: a. Budgeted monthly absorption costing income statements for April-July are: April May June July $ 710,000 $ 880,000 $ 590,000 $ 490,000 497,000 616,000 413,000 343,000 213,000 264,000 177,000 147,000 Sales Cost of goods sold Gross margin Selling and administrative expenses : Selling expense Administrative expense* Total selling and administrative expenses Net operating income 89,000 108,000 70,000 49,000 49,500 67,200 43,400 47,000 138,500 175,200 113,400 96,000 $ 74,500 $ 88,800 $ 63,600 $ 51,000 *Includes $31,000 of depreciation each month. b. Sales are 20% for cash and 80% on account. c. Sales on account are collected over a three-month period with 10% collected in the month of sale; 70% collected in the first month following the month of sale; and the remaining 20% collected in the second month following the month of sale. February's sales totaled $275,000, and March's sales totaled $290,000. d. Inventory purchases are paid for within 15 days. Therefore, 50% of a month's inventory purchases are paid for in the month of purchase. The remaining 50% is paid in the following month. Accounts payable at March 31 for inventory purchases during March total $130,900. e. Each month's ending inventory must equal 20% of the cost of the merchandise to be sold in the following month. The merchandise inventory at March 31 is $99,400. f. Dividends of $38,000 will be declared and paid in April. g. Land costing $46,000 will be purchased for cash in May. h. The cash balance at March 31 is $60,000; the company must maintain a cash balance of at least $40,000 at the end of each month. 1. The company has an agreement with a local bank that allows the company to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan balance of $200,000. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month and for simplicity we will assume that interest is not compounded. The company would, as far as it is able, repay the loan plus accumulated interest at the end of the quarter.

The merchandise inventory and accounts payable at March 31 remains unchanged from the amount given in your CONNECT problem. Note - This will not change the March 31 inventory balance. 3) Using the president's new assumptions regarding inventory levels, complete the revised Inventory Purchasing Budget.

(Percentages used in CONNECT will not change). The president is hoping the reduced inventory amounts will be enough to conserve cash. Using the same payment policy from CONNECT, complete the Revised Cash Disbursements Schedule below.

This would create an increase to accounts payable at the end of each month equal to 20% of the current month's selling and administrative cash expenses (without depreciation).

He explains that the sale manager sometimes adjusts the sales numbers before passing them on. When questioned by the president, the sales manager admits that she doesn't want the company to fall short of its sales projections, so she generally gives a little bit of "breathing room by lowering the initial sales projection anywhere from 5% to 10%. Should the president be concerned about the budgetary slack being used by the sales manager? Explain in 30 to 50 words
