Optional Information



Already Tried:
Case 9-23 Master Budget with Supporting Schedules. It has the template needed to complete. Also, the instructor provided some of the beginning answers to start out with. Should be fairly simple for someone that does this all the time.

Is that the case of "Cravat Sales Company"? If yes, do you want me to send you the answer in word and you input it into the template?

That is correct! Here is the additional information you will need. How can I get the template to you?

 

Error!! PLEASE MAKE A NOTE OF THIS: In the Case 9-23, page 415, chapter 9, the sentence that says "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"....should READ: "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 $400,000".....Please make a note of this and let me know your questions!!!

As for the Cash Budget, I'll start you off with a few of the answers to get you going. If you still have problems, please ask specific questions. These are all answers for April:
Cash balance, beginning. $14,000
Add receipits from customers (part 1b) $230,000
Total cash $244,000
Purchase of Inventory $195,750
Sales commissions $35,000
Salaries and wages $22,000
Utilities $14,000
Misc $3,000
Dividends paid $12,000
Land purchases $0
Excess (deficiency of receipts over disbursements $(37,750

For the schedule of expected cash collections:
We know from the text that that the February sales was $192,000 so the expected cash collections would be $48K in Feb (192*25%), $96k in March (192*50%) and $48K in April. In March the sales were $224,000 ($8*28,000). The expected cash in March was $56K, in April $112K and in May $56K, etc.

For the budgeted cash disbursements for merchandise purchases:
Purchases are paid 50% in the month of purchase and the remaining 50% in the following month. The ties cost $5 each.
For April, we calculated we need to purchase 44,000 units at a cost of $5 each for a total of $220,000. 50% of that is charged to the April purchases $110,000 and 50% to the May purchases for $110,000.

I am heading to the gym for a bit. You probably will be done by the time I get back. I will add a bonus as well. No worries there. I always reward people for helping out. I will have some more stuff to help me out on soon! I might ask for help during the mid-term. I probably will get stuck on some things or check with you to see if something was done correctly. Thank you again!

The deadline was not until this Sunday. I forgot to tell you that! Cry Anyway, I will probably need some help or guidance on this mid-term. I have two hours in which to complete. It is timed and the timer starts as soon as I begin. I will compensate you again for the time spent helping me if I get stuck or need some assistance. Are you okay with this?

I will just give you $30 for the help. You are worth it, There were four actual problems. I did the one correctly. Just to save me time, this is the last one so I can try to figure out the multiple choice questions.

 

1. Lehne Company, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations:

Selling Price $ 112
Units in beginning Inventory500
Units Produced2600
Units sold3000
Units in ending Inventory100
Variable Costs per unit:
Direct materials $ 13
Direct labor $ 49
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 6
Variable selling and admin $ 10
Fixed Costs:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 80,600
Fixed selling and admin $ 15,000

The company produces the same number of units every month, although the sales in units vary from month to month. The company's variable costs per unit and total fixed costs have been constant from month to month.


Required:


a. What is the unit product cost for the month under variable costing?
b. What is the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing?
c. Prepare an income statement for the month using the variable costing method.
d. Prepare an income statement for the month using the absorption costing method.

Property taxes on a company's factory building would be classified as a(n): (Points: 6)
product cost
opportunity cost
period cost
variable cost
sunk cost

 

I CHOSE PRODUCT COST SINCE THIS IS AN INDIRECT COST

Fixed costs expressed on a per unit basis:

(Points: 6)
will increase with increases in activity.
will decrease with increases in activity.
are not affected by activity.
should be ignored in making decisions since they cannot change.

 

I CHOSE WILL DECREASE WITH INCREASES IN ACTIVITY

The variable portion of the cost of electricity for a manufacturing plant is a:

(Points: 6)
Conversion YES... Period NO
Conversion YES .... Period YES
Conversion NO.... Period YES
Conversion NO.... Period NO

 

I DO NOT KNOW

 

 

Within the relevant range, variable costs can be expected to:

(Points: 6)
vary in total in direct proportion to changes in the activity level.
remain constant in total as the activity level changes.
increase on a per unit basis as the activity level increases.
increase on a per unit basis as the activity level decreases.
none of these.

 

DO NOT KNOW

 

 

Under a job-order costing system, the dollar amount transferred from Work in Process to Finished Goods is the sum of the costs charged to all jobs: (Points: 6)
started in process during the period
in process during the period
completed and sold during the period
completed during the period

 

I CHOSE STARTED IN PROCESS DURING THE PERIOD

 

 

Equivalent units for a process costing system using the FIFO method would be equal to: (Points: 6)
units completed during the period plus equivalent units in the ending work in process inventory
units started and completed during the period plus equivalent units in the ending work in process inventory
units completed during the period and transferred out
units started and completed during the period plus equivalent units in the ending work in process inventory plus work needed to complete units in the beginning work in process inventory


3. The contribution margin equals: (Points: 6)
Sales - expenses
Sales- cost of goods sold
Sales - variable costs
Sales - fixed costs


4. The break-even point in unit sales is found by dividing total fixed expenses by: (Points: 6)
the contribution margin ratio
the variable expenses per unit
the sales price per unit
the contribution margin per unit


5. In an income statement prepared using the variable costing method, fixed selling and administrative expenses would: (Points: 6)
be used in the computation of the contribution margin
be used in the computation of net operating income but not in the computation of the contribution margin
be treated the same as variable manufacturing expenses
not be used
