Waterways Continuing Problem-10 (Part Level Submission)

Waterways Corporation has recently acquired a small manufacturing operation in British Columbia that produces one of its more popular items. This plant will provide these units for resale in retail hardware stores in British Columbia and Alberta. Because the budget prepared by the plant was incomplete, Jordan Leigh, Waterways CFO, was sent to B.C. to oversee the plants budgeting process for the second quarter of 2017. Jordan asked the various managers to collect the following information for preparing the second-quarter budget.

Sales
Unit sales for February 2017		91,000
Unit sales for March 2017		103,000
Expected unit sales for April 2017		111,000
Expected unit sales for May 2017		116,000
Expected unit sales for June 2017		121,000
Expected unit sales for July 2017		136,000
Expected unit sales for August 2017		161,000
Average unit selling price		$14

Based on the experience from the home plant, Jordan has suggested that the B.C. plant keep 10% of the next months unit sales in ending inventory. The plant has contracts with some of the major home hardware giants, so all sales are on account; 50% of the accounts receivable is collected in the month of sale, and the balance is collected in the month after sale. This was the same collection pattern from the previous year. The new plant has no bad debts. Direct Materials The combined quantity of direct materials (consisting of metal, plastic and rubber) used in each unit is 1.40 kg. Metal, plastic, and rubber together amount to $1.50 per kg. Inventory of combined direct material on March 31 consisted of 15,610 kg. This plant likes to keep 10% of the materials needed for the next month in its ending inventory. Fifty percent of the payables is paid in the month of purchase, and 50% is paid in the month after purchase. Accounts Payable on March 31 will total $126,600. Direct Labour Labour requires 15 minutes per unit for completion and is paid at an average rate of $20 per hour.
