nationwide distributor of a designers silk ties. The company has an exclusive franchise
on the distribution of the ties, and sales have grown so rapidly over the last few years that
it has become necessary to add new members to the management team. You have been
given responsibility for all planning and budgeting. Your first assignment is to prepare a
master budget for the next three months, starting April 1. You are anxious to make a
favorable impression on the president and have assembled the information below.
The company desires a minimum ending cash balance each month of $10,000. The ties
are sold to retailers for $8 each. Recent and forecasted sales in units are as follows:
January (actual) . . . . . . . . . 20,000
February (actual) . . . . . . . . 24,000
March (actual) . . . . . . . . . . 28,000
April . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35,000

June . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60,000

August . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 36,000
September . . . . . . . . . . . . . 32,000
The large buildup in sales before and during June is due to Fathers Day. Ending
inventories are supposed to equal 90% of the next months sales in units. The ties cost the
company $5 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 25% of a months sales are collected
by month-end. An additional 50% is collected in the following month, and the remaining
25% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been negligible.
The companys monthly operating expenses are given below:
Variable:
Sales commissions . . . . . . . $1 per tie
Fixed:
Wages and salaries . . . . . . . $22,000
Utilities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $14,000
Insurance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1,200
Depreciation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1,500
Miscellaneous . . . . . . . . . . . . . $3,000
All operating expenses are paid during the month, in cash, with the exception of
depreciation and insurance expired. Land will be purchased during May for $25,000 cash.
The company declares dividends of $12,000 each quarter, payable in the first month of
the following quarter. The companys balance sheet at March 31 is given below:
.:.
The company has an agreement with a bank that allows the company to borrow in
increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan balance of
$40,000. 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 $10,000 in cash.
