Case Study

Master Budget, Cash Budget and Budgeted Income Statement

After two years study at UCW, you finally graduate and start a job as Junior accountant at XYZ Inc. Your manager is responsible for the nationwide distribution of men grooming sets. Because of the new fashion style among current generation, the company has grown rapidly, and the prompt growth forces the management team to improve their efficiency and manage their production effectively.

You have just been given responsibility for all planning and budgeting of the entire men grooming set division. Today is your first day, you have just given an assignment to prepare master budget for the manager, who needs to present the budget and discuss the financial objectives with the shareholders tomorrow. During your job interview, you clearly stated that you gained managerial accounting knowledge and hand on experience during your MBA study.

Your first assignment is to prepare a master budget for the next fiscal year, starting April 1, 2019. Your co-work has left a pile of files on your desk including the past sale records, product information, manufacture schedule and supplier pricing list. Now, you realized that you should have pay more attention during the lecture. Now, you don't know where to start. Fortunately, you remember that you still kept a copy spreadsheet of the master budget template in your computer from accounting course.

Note: The company desires a minimum ending cash balance each month on $25,000. The XYZ's are sold to retailers for $18 each and they are flying off the shelves. Recent forecasted sales in units are provided below:

April 2020	20,000	October 2020	60,000
May 2020	24,000	November 2020	68,000
June 2020	68,000	December 2020	80,000
July 2020	35,000	January 2021	32,000
August 2020	45,000	February 2021	35,000
September 2020	55,000	March 2021	36,000

The increased sales volume before and during June and December is due to Father's Day and holidays with XYZ being a favorite. Ending finished goods inventories are supposed to be equal to 30% of the next month's sales in units. XYZ currently does its own assembly production in house. Each unit consists of 2 shaves and the cost of each is $1.00. Each unit needs 0.20 labour hour from assemble to finish package. The hourly pay rate to the assembling workers is $15 per hour. The production manager also required desired direct material ending inventory to 40% of the next month production.

Purchases are paid for in the following manner: 50% in the month of the purchase and the remaining 50% paid in the month following the purchase. All sales to the distributors are made on credit terms with no discount (for now), and payable within 15 days. The XYZ has determined that only 25% of a month's sales are collected by the end of the month in which the sale occurred. An additional 50% is collected in the month following the sale, and the remaining 25% is collected in the second month following the sale.
Bad debts have been negligible, supporting the credit terms as favorable.

XYZ will make a purchase of a parcel of land during the month of July 2020 for $22,500 cash. XYZ contributes to the corporate dividend at a rate of $12,000 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter. XYZ's balance sheet at the end of the first quarter is shown below:

Assets
Cash	$14,000
Accounts receivable ($48,000 February sales; $168,000 March sales)	216,000

An agreement with Bank of the West allows XYZ to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan amount of $550,000. The interest rate on these loans is 10% annually (pretty high considering market rates) but the interest is not compounded, meaning this is simple interest only.
