Barker Company produces and sells a single product with budgeted or standard costs as follows: Inputs Standards
Question:
Barker Company produces and sells a single product with budgeted or standard costs as follows:
Inputs | Standards |
Direct materials | 10 lbs at $10.00 per pound |
Direct labor | 8 hours at $12.50 per hour |
Variable factory overhead | 8 hours at $20.00 per hour |
Fixed factory overhead | 8 hours at $40.00 per hour |
Overhead rates are based on 8,000 standard direct labor hours per month, i.e., this is the master budget denominator activity level.
Desired ending inventories of materials are based on 10% of the next months materials needed. Desired ending finished goods are based on 5% of next periods budgeted unit sales.
Unit Sales are budgeted as follows:
January | February | March | April |
1,000 | 1,200 | 1,600 | 1,400 |
The budgeted sales price is $1000 per unit. Sales are budgeted as 80% credit sales and 20% cash sales. Past experience indicates that 60% of credit sales are collected during the month of sale, 38% are collected in the following month, and 2% are uncollectible. A 1% cash discount is allowed to all customers (cash or credit) who pay within the month the sale takes place. Selling and administrative expenses are: Variable = 20% of sales dollars, Fixed = $250,000 per month.
The budget assumption concerning cash payment proportions is that all current purchases of direct material, direct labor, factory overhead and selling and administrative items will be paid for during the current period. The beginning cash balance for February is $10,000. Depreciation and other non-cash fixed costs are: manufacturing = $100,000, selling and administrative = $75,000.
Required:
