Budgeting and Decision Making Exercises I Problem 1: Worksheet
Problem 1
Providence City acquired its power plant from a private company on June 1. No receivables were acquired with the
purchase. Therefore, total accounts receivable on June 1 had a zero balance.
Providence plans to bill customers in the month following the month of sale, and 80% of the resulting billings will be
collected during the billing month. 90% of the remaining balance should be collectable in the next following month. The
remaining uncollectible amounts will relate to citizens who have moved away. Such amounts are never expected to be
collected and will be written off.
Electricity sales during June are estimated at $4,500,000, and expected to increase 25% in July. August sales will be 5%
less than July sales.
b) Estimate the monthly cash collections for June, July, August, and September.
c) As of the end of August, how much will be the estimated amount of receivables for which future cash flows
are anticipated?

Problem 3
Prepare a direct materials purchasing plan for January, February, and March, based on the following facts.
Global GPS Systems assembles its GPS systems with the following costs. Each GPS requires one computer system and
four bateries. Computer Systems cost $140 each, and batteries are $2.50 each. Global is able to reliably obtain computers
as needed, and does not maintain them in inventory. However, bateries are stocked in inventory sufficient to produce
20% of the following month’s expected production. Planned production is as follows:

Problem 4
Clinton Summerhayes is CFO for a newly formed golf club manufacturing company. Below is the anticipated monthly
production for the first year of operation, and beyond. Clinton is interested in learning which of the first twelve months
will require cash outlays of more than $25,000 toward the purchase of composite shafts. Each unit requires 4 board feet
of composite material at $15.70 per board foot. All composite material is purchased in the month prior to its expected
use. Composite shaft purchases are paid for 15% in the month of purchase, 80% in the month following the month of
purchase, and 5% in the second month following the month of purchase.

The chief financial officer for Backyard Playground products had previously established a line of credit with a local bank
that enables Backyard to borrow 60% of the company’s inventory balance. The company currently has 2,000 units in
stock, and is performing “on budget.” The budget anticipated that direct labor cost would be $16.50 per hour, and factory
overhead is applied to production based on $9.20 per direct labor hour. Each unit requires 4.5 labor hours and 700 pounds
of direct material. The direct material costs $0.15 per pound.

Review the following SG&A budget that was prepared at the beginning of the current year. The economy appears to be
slowing, and sales are now expected to run only 80% of plan. How much can now be expected to result for total SG&A?
The only fixed cost that can be reduced relates to the advertising campaign. What are the possible impacts of attempting
to save money by cutting a portion of the advertising budget?

Scott began April with $175,000 of cash on hand. Prepare a cash budget, and determine how much cash will be available
for the dividend? Is there any apparent risk associated with the dividend plan?

Solution 8
As the following cash budget reveals, $412,600 will be available for a cash dividend at the end of June (the amount by
which ending estimated cash exceeds $150,000). The danger associated with this plan is that the $600,000 equipment
purchase must be paid for in July. Paying the dividend will leave the company significantly constrained and potentially
unable to make the requisite equipment payment.
