March April Sales $640,000 $665,000 Manufacturing Costs 160,000 350,000 Capital Expenditures* 250,000 75,000 General and Administration Costs (including amortization) 55,000 85,000 *includes training programs, machines and buildings

Explanation / Answer

A. Cash budget for March and April:

Collection in april = 1-10% of march's sales = 90% of 640,000 = 576,000

General and administrative expense will exclude the 20% amortization in the cash budget. Hence only 80% of the total amount will be included.

Capital expenditure paid in March = 250,000*55% = 137,500. In april = 75,000+(45% of 250,000) = 187,500

Financing requirements for March: cash defecit = 102,500. Cash defecit net of opening balance = 102,500 - 18,000 = 84,500. Now a balance of 8,000 has to be maintained. Thus financing amount will be = defecit+minimum balance = 84,500+8,000 = 92,500.

b. Budgeted balance sheet for March 2013:

cash at the end of march = $8,000

accounts receivable = 90% of march's sales = 90% of 640,000 = 576,000

inventory as on March end = opening inventory+manufacturing cost - cost of goods sold

But since cost of goods sold cannot be ascertained as we do not have the margin %, we cannot calculate ending inventory. So, ending inventory will be a balancing figure in the balance sheet.

Long term assets on march end = opening assets+capital expenditure = 90,000+250,000. depreciation for march = 20% of 55,000 = 11,000. net assets = opening assets+capital expenditure - accumulated depreciation - depreciation for march = 90,000+250,000-11,000 - 5,000 = 324,000

Stockholder's equity at the end of march = stockholder's equity at the beginning of march+profit of march.

March's profit = sale - manufacturing costs - SG&A costs (capital expenditure has been included in the balance sheet). = 640,000 - 160,000 - 55,000 = 425,000. Thus equity = 125,000+425,000 = 550,000.

Now, ending inventory = total liability and equity - total assets (excluding ending inventory) = 935500-908000 = 27,500

March April Cash from sales (10% of monthly sales) 64,000 66,500 Collection from customers (from last month's sales) 176,000 576,000 Total cash receipts 240,000 642,500 Disbursements: Manufacturing costs 160,000 350,000 General and administrative exp (80% of total) 44,000 68,000 Capital expenditures 137,500 187,500 Dividend payment 1,000 5,000 Total cash disbursements 342,500 610,500 Cash excess (deficit) -102,500 32,000 Bank loan 92,500 0 Total cash inflow (outflow) -10,000 32,000 Opening cash balance 18,000 8,000 Ending cash balance 8,000 40,000
