Question

Operating Budget, Comprehensive Analysis

The following data pertain to production policies and manufacturing specifications followed by Allison Manufacturing:

Finished goods inventory on January 1 is 32,000 units, each costing $166.06. The desired ending inventory for each month is 80% of the next month's sales.

The direct labor used per unit of output is three hours. The average direct labor cost per hour is $14.25.

The unit selling price of the subassembly is $205.

All sales and purchases are for cash. The cash balance on January 1 equals $400,000. The firm requires a minimum ending balance of $50,000. If the firm develops a cash shortage by the end of the month, sufficient cash is borrowed to cover the shortage. Any cash borrowed is repaid at the end of the quarter, as is the interest due (cash borrowed at the end of the quarter is repaid at the end of the following quarter). The interest rate is 12% per annum. No money is owed at the beginning of January.

Required:

1. Prepare a monthly operating budget for the first quarter with the following schedules. (Note: Assume that there is no change in work-in-process inventories.)

a. Schedule 1: Sales Budget. Do not include a multiplication symbol as part of your answer.
