The company has had steady sales of 60,000 units per month for the past several years, but the factory has enough capacity to produce 110,000 units per month, without having to invest in significant additional fixed assets. Changes in the economy have resulted in higher sales forecasts

For forecasting purposes, the company assumes 35% of sales are collected the month of the sale, 45% in the subsequent month, 17% in the second month after the sale and 3% uncollectible. The percent of sales method is used for allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Bad Debts are written off each month.

Desired ending finished goods inventory is 30% of next months sales. This is lower than the prior level.

Purchases of raw materials are made in the month they are used in production and now cost $2.50 each. Two units of raw material is needed for each unit produced. Payments for raw materials are made 25% in the month of purchase and 75% in the month after purchase. Accounts payable represents unpaid purchases of raw materials. Raw material desired ending inventory is 20% of next months material required for production. This percent has also changed for this budget.

Labor costs are $20 per hour and each unit uses .4 hours of direct labor. Direct labor is paid half in the month incurred and half the following month. Direct labor rates have increased for this budget.

Production overhead is allocated at $6 per unit produced and is paid in the month incurred. All production equipment is leased and therefore no depreciation is necessary as part of overhead.

Work in Process Inventories equal zero at the end of each month.

Selling and administrative total fixed costs are $50,000 per month and sales commissions are $5.00 per unit sold both are paid monthly. In addition, depreciation on Office Fixed assets is $55,000 per month. This is on equipment used in the office.

The line of credit interest rate is 3% APR. Interest on the line is paid at the end of each month based on the ending lime balance at the end of the previous month. The interest of 5% on the Term Loan will be paid every November 1. However, interest is accrued on the loan every month.

Additional office equipment will be purchased with cash at the end of June for $300,000 and the end of September for $350,000 and will be added to Office fixed assets. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line over four years with depreciation beginning in July. This results in an additional $3,000 per month beginning in July with no change to depreciation for the September purchase.

The company will declare and pay a $500,000 dividend in December.

Targeted Cash at each month end is $100,000 beginning January 2021, with any excess cash being used to pay down the Bank line of credit and any shortfall below $100,000 funded by borrowing against the line. Any excess cash above $100,000 will be invested in short term securities once the bank line of credit has been completely paid off. Accumulated short term investment balances can be used to cover cash shortfalls if available. (For simplicity, assume any investment does not yield any monthly cash flow and do not accrue the interest.)

The company uses an estimated tax rate of 21%, with estimated payments made monthly.
