Question

You have just been hired as a new management trainee by Terre Inc., a manufacturer of potato chips. In the past, the company did very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year experienced a shortage of cash.

Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided to prepare comprehensive budgets for the upcoming quarter to show management the benefits that can be gained from an integrated budgeting program. To this end, you worked with accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below.
The company sells a single type of potato chip with a budgeted selling price of $5 per packet. Actual and budgeted sales of potato chip are provided as below (in units):

2017

38,000

From their experience, 30% of the sales are on cash with 10% discount. The remainder are on account. Collections for sales on account follow a stable pattern: 75% of a month's credit sales are collected in the month of sale, and 20% are collected in the month following sale, and the remaining 5% are uncollectible.

Due to the unstable sales, the company has been experienced the shortage of inventory. Hence, you plan to suggest a new inventory policy; the ending inventory for each month should be equal to 30% of the next month's sales in units. This requirement had been met at the end of June.

Each packet of potato chip requires 500g of potato. The company has a policy of maintaining the raw material at the end of each month equal to 20% of the next month's production needs. This requirement had been met at the end of June. Potatoes cost $1.2 per kg. 70% of a month’s purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the remaining is paid in the following month. At the end of June, the accounts payable balance is $6,400.

Each packet of potato chip requires 0.1 direct labor-hours. Due to the recent increase in minimum wage, factory workers are paid $14 per direct labor-hour.

Terre bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate is $5 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $40,000 per month. Fixed manufacturing overhead includes depreciation on factory equipment, which is $27,000 per month.

At Terre, the selling and administrative (SG&A) expense budget is divided into variable and fixed components. The variable SG&A expense is $0.8 per unit sold. The budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense is $30,000 per month. This expense includes depreciation on office equipment, which is $10,000 per month.

Due to the recent customer claims on the packaging defects, Terre Inc. has decided to purchase a new packing equipment in August 2017. The new equipment costs $30,000 and will be paid in cash. Terre has declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per share, which will be paid on July 31, 2017. The company has 100,000 common shares outstanding. To finance potential cash deficit, Terre Inc. plans to borrow a $40,000 loan from a local bank in the beginning of July 2017 and repay the loan plus accumulated interest at the end of September 2017. The annual interest rate on the loan is 12% (i.e., 1% per month). At the end of June, the cash balance is $30,000.

Required:

2. Prepare the schedule of expected cash collections from sales, the schedule of expected cash disbursements for materials, manufacturing overhead, and SG&A expenses by each month and in total for the 3rd quarter of 2017.
