Chapter 9, Problem 9.59AP

Comprehensive summary problem (Learning Objectives 2 & 3)

Birdfeeders Unlimited makes backyard birdfeeders. The company sells the birdfeeders to home improvement stores for $15 per birdfeeder. Each birdfeeder requires 1.5 board feet of wood, which the company obtains at a cost of $4 per board foot. The company would like to maintain an ending stock of wood equal to 10% of the next month’s production requirements. The company would also like to maintain an ending stock of finished birdfeeders equal to 20% of the next month’s sales.

Sales data for the company is as follows:

	Units
October actual sales (prior year)	92.000
November actual sales (prior year)	85.000
December actual sales (prior year)	78.000
January projected sales	80.000
February projected sales	90.000
March projected sales	95.000
April projected sales	105,000

In any given month, 20% of the total sales are cash sales, while the remainder are credit sales. The company’s collection history indicates that 80% of credit sales is collected in the month after the sale, 10% is collected two months after the sale, 6% is collected three months after the sale, and the remaining 4% is never collected.

Assume that the total cost of direct materials purchases in December was $550,000. The company pays 45% of its direct materials purchases in the month of purchase and pays the remaining 55% in the month after purchase.

Requirements

Prepare the following budgets for the first three months of the year, as well as a summary budget for the quarter:

1. Prepare the sales budget, including a separate section that details the type of sales made (cash versus credit).
2. Prepare the production budget.
3. Prepare the direct materials purchases budget. Assume the company needs 120,000 board feet of wood for production in April.
4. Prepare the cash collections budget for January, February, and March, as well as a summary for the first quarter.
5. Prepare the cash payments budget for direct materials purchases for the months of January, February, and March, as well as a summary for the first quarter.

Definition Definition Estimate of an organization's cash flow for a future period. A cash budget forecasts future cash receipts and payments from various sources for a fiscal year. A cash budget can be created once a month or once a week to determine the organization's cash position and ensure its performance in relation to the budget. It aids in determining whether the company has enough cash and cash equivalents to meet its operational needs in the future.

E8-51B. Sell as is or process further (Learning Objective 7) OrganicPlus processes organic milk into plain yogurt. OrganicPlus sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one- gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of $830, yields 750 gallons of plain yogurt. OrganicPlus sells the one-gallon tubs for $6.00 each and spends $0.10 for each plastic tub. Management has recently begun to reconsider its strategy. OrganicPlus wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual-sized portions of fruited organic yogurt at local food stores. OrganicPlus could further process each batch of plain yogurt into 16,000 individual portions (3/4 cup each) of fruited yogurt. A recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists. OrganicPlus would sell each individual portion for $0.40. Packaging would cost $0.07 per portion, and fruit would cost $0.12 per portion. Fixed costs would not change. Should OrganicPlus continue to sell only the…

58-5 Special order decision (Learning Objective 3) Shilling Manufacturing produces and sells oil filters for $3.25 each. A retailer has offered to purchase 20,000 oil filters for $1.55 per filter. Of the total manufacturing cost per filter of $2.10, $1.30 is the variable manufacturing cost per filter. For this special order, Shilling would have to buy a special stamping machine that costs $8,000 to mark the customer's logo on the special order oil filters. The machine would be scrapped when the special order is complete. This special order would use manufacturing capacity that would other- wise be idle. No variable nonmanufacturing costs would be incurred by the special order. Regular sales would not be affected by the special order. Would you recommend that Shilling accept the special order under these conditions?
