[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Endless Mountain Company manufactures a single product that is popular with outdoor recreation enthusiasts. The company sells its product to retailers throughout the northeastern quadrant of the United States. It is in the process of creating a master budget for 2017 and reports a balance sheet at December 31, 2016 as follows: Endless Mountain Company Balance Sheet December 31, 2016 Assets Current assets: Cash Accounts receivable (net) Raw materials inventory (4,500 yards) Finished goods inventory (1,500 units) Total current assets Buildings and equipment Plant and equipment: Accumulated depreciation Plant and equipment, net Total assets Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Current liabilities: Accounts payable Common stock Stockholders' equity: Retained earnings Total stockholders' equity Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 46,200 260,000 11,250 32,250 $349,700 900,000 (292,000) 608,000 $957,700 $158,000 $ 419,800 379,900 799,700 $957,700 The company's chief financial officer (CFO), in consultation with various managers across the organization has developed the following set of assumptions to help create the 2017 budget: 1. The budgeted unit sales are 12,000 units, 37,000 units, 15,000 units, and 25,000 units for quarters 1-4, respectively. Notice that the company experiences peak sales in the second and fourth quarters. The budgeted selling price for the year is $32 per unit. The budgeted unit sales for the first quarter of 2018 is 13,000 units. 2. All sales are on credit. Uncollectible accounts are negligible and can be ignored. Seventy-five percent of all credit sales are collected in the quarter of the sale and 25% are collected in the subsequent quarter. 3. Each quarter's ending finished goods inventory should equal 15% of the next quarter's unit sales. 4. Each unit of finished goods requires 3.5 yards of raw material that costs $3.00 per yard. Each quarter's ending raw materials inventory should equal 10% of the next quarter's production needs. The estimated ending raw materials inventory on December 31, 2017 is 5,000 yards. 5. Seventy percent of each quarter's purchases are paid for in the quarter of purchase. The remaining 30% of each quarter's purchases are paid in the following quarter. 6. Direct laborers are paid $18 an hour and each unit of finished goods requires 0.25 direct labor-hours to complete. All direct labor costs are paid in the quarter incurred. 7. The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour is $3.00. The quarterly fixed manufacturing overhead is $150,000 including $20,000 of depreciation on equipment. The number of direct labor-hours is used as the allocation base for the budgeted plantwide overhead rate. All overhead costs (excluding depreciation) are paid in the quarter incurred.
