You have just been hired to work for a company that sells shoes. Your first task is to prepare a master budget for the next three months, starting April 1.

The shoes are sold to retaliers for $16 each. Recent and forecasted sales in units are as follows:

Janurary (actual) 22,400

February (actual) 28,400

March (actual) 42,400

April (Budget) 67,400

May (budget) 102,400

June (budget) 52,400

July (budget) 32,400

August (budget) 30,400

September (budget) 27,400

The large buildup in sales before and during June is due to Father's Day. Ending inventories are supposed to equal 40% of the next month's sales in units. The shoes cost the company $5.20 each.

Purchases are paid for as follows: 50% in the month of purchase and the remaining 50% in the following month. All sales are on credit, with no discount, and payable within 15 days. The company has found, however, that only 20% of a month's sales are collected by month-end. An additional 70% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been negligible.

The company's monthly selling and administrative expenses are given below:

Variable

-Sales commisions 4% of sales

Fixed

-advertising $320,000

-rent $30,000

-salaries $130,000

-utilities $13,000

-insurances $4,200

-depreciations $26,000

Insurance is paid on an annual basis, in November of every year. ***THINK PRE-PAID***

All selling and administrative expenses are paid during the month, in cash, with the exception of depreciation and insurance expired. Land will be purchased during May for $22,000 cash and equipment will be purchased in June for $52,000 cash. The company declares dividends of $24,000 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter. The company's balance sheet at March 31 is given below:

Assets:

-cash $86,000

-Accounts receivable ($45,440 Feburary sales; $542,720 March sales) 588,160

-inventory 140,192

-prepaid insurance 27,000

property and equipment (net) 1,070,000

-Total assets $1,911,352

Liabilities & Stockholders equity:

-accounts payable $112,000

-dividends payable 24,000

-common stock 1.040,000

-retained earnings 735,352

Total liabilities and stockholders equity $1,911,352

The company has an agreement with a bank that allows it to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month, and for simplicity, we will assume that interest is not compounded. At the end of the quarter, the company would pay the bank all of the accumulated interest on the loan and as much of the loan as possible (in increments of $1,000), while still retaining at least $62,000 in cash.
