PROBLEM THREE

Wilson Beverages bottles two soft drinks under license to Cadbury Schweppes at its Manchester plant. All inventory is in direct materials and finished goods at the end of each working day. There is no work-in-process inventory.

The two soft drinks bottled by Wilson Beverages are lemonade and diet lemonade. The syrup for both soft drinks is purchased from Cadbury Schweppes.

Wilson Beverages uses a lot size of 1,000 cases as the unit of analysis in its budgeting. (Each case contains 24 bottles.) Direct materials are expressed in terms of lots, in which one lot of direct materials is the input necessary to yield one lot (1,000 cases) of beverage. The following purchase prices are forecast for direct materials in 2005:

	Lemonade	Diet Lemonade
Syrup	$1,200 per lot	$1,100 per lot
Containers (bottles, caps, etc.)	$1,000 per lot	$1,000 per lot
Packaging	$ 800 per lot	$ 800 per lot

All direct material purchases are on account.

?The two soft drinks are bottled using the same equipment. The only difference in the bottling process for the two soft drinks is the syrup.

?Summary data used in developing budgets for 2005 are

1. Sales

Lemonade, 1,080 lots at $9,000 selling price per lot

Diet lemonade, 540 lots at $8,500 selling price per lot

All sales are on account.

2. Beginning (January 1, 2005) inventory of direct materials

Syrup for lemonade, 80 lots at $1,100 purchase price per lot

Syrup for diet lemonade, 70 lots at $1,000 purchase price per lot

Containers, 200 lots at $950 purchase price per lot

Packaging, 400 lots at $900 purchase price per lot

3. Beginning (January 1, 2005) inventory of finished goods

Lemonade, 100 lots at $5,300 per lot

Diet lemonade, 50 lots at $5,200 per lot

4. Target ending (December 31, 2005) inventory of direct materials

Syrup for lemonade, 30 lots????Containers, 100 lots

Syrup for diet lemonade, 20 lots????Packaging, 200 lots

5. Target ending (December 31, 2005) inventory of finished goods

Lemonade, 20 lots

Diet lemonade, 10 lots

6. Each lot requires 20 direct manufacturing labor-hours at the 2005 budgeted rate of $25 per hour. Direct manufacturing labor costs are paid at the end of each month.

7. Variable manufacturing overhead is forecast to be $600 per hour of bottling time; bottling time is the time the filling equipment is in operation. It takes two hours to bottle one lot of lemonade and two hours to bottle one lot of diet lemonade. Assume all variable manufacturing overhead costs are paid during the same month when incurred.

?Fixed manufacturing overhead is forecast to be $1,200,000 for 2005. Included in the fixed manufacturing overhead forecast is $400,000 for depreciation. All manufacturing overhead costs are paid as incurred.

8. Hours of budgeted bottling time is the sole cost-allocation base for all fixed manufacturing overhead.

9. Administration costs are forecast to be 10% of the cost of goods manufactured for 2005. Marketing costs are forecast to be 12% of revenues for 2005. Distribution costs are forecast to be 8% of revenues for 2005. All these costs are paid during the month when incurred. Assume there are no depreciation or amortization expenses.

10. Budgeted beginning balances on January 1, 2005:

???Accounts receivable (from sales)??$550,000

???Accounts payable (for direct materials)?? 300,000

???Cash????? 100,000

11. Budgeted ending balances on December 31, 2005:?????????Accounts receivable (from sales)??$600,000

???Accounts payable (for direct materials)?? 400,000

12.?Budgeted equipment purchase in May???? $1,350,000

13.?Estimated income tax expense for 2005???? $ 625,000
