Your Task You were recently hired as an assistant controller at Safe Smiles Protective Masks Inc. ("Safe Smiles"). Your employer manufactures and sells a single product, unique and fun protective face masks for children. The masks use a special antimicrobial fabric and are well known for being extremely comfortable and durable for kids. As face masks have become the new norm during the COVID era, demand has been booming. With the return of kids to school and the upcoming cold and flu season, management expects demand to remain strong for the foreseeable future. The first task you have been assigned in your new role is to prepare the master budget for the quarter ended December 31st, 2020.

The company has found that only 30% of a month's sales are collected by month-end. An additional 50% is collected in the month following the sale, and the remaining 20% is collected in the second month following the sale. Bad debts have been negligible, so they can be ignored for the purposes of the budget. Information on inventory and production Inventories of finished goods on hand at the end of each month are to be equal to 50% of the following months budgeted sales. As of September 30, 2020, the company had 3,925 masks in finished goods inventory. The company has no work in process (WIP) inventory. Each mask requires 1/10 of a yard of antimicrobial silver ion fabric, which the company purchases for $55.00 per yard. Note - both the mask and the straps are made from this same fabric so there is only one raw material used to make the product. It is company policy to keep enough fabric in raw materials to meet 70% of the next month's production needs. As of September 30th, Safe Smiles had 558 yards of fabric in raw materials inventory. Purchases of raw materials are paid for as follows: 50% in the month of purchase and the remaining 50% in the following month. Each mask requires 0.25 labour hours (15 minutes) to assemble by hand. Employees who make the masks are paid $15.00 per hour, and never work overtime. The company has enough casual/on-call workers that they can call in if additional work is required. Manufacturing overhead includes all the costs of production other than direct materials and direct labour. The variable component of manufacturing overhead is $1.00 per mask in production, and the fixed component is $17,000 per month. The $17,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead includes depreciation of $2,000 per month on the sewing machines and graphic print machines used to manufacture the masks. Direct labour hours is used as an allocation base for assigning manufacturing overhead to units produced.
