Inclass Problems – Module 6: Budgets

Question 1

The marketing department of Kingfisher Industries has submitted the following sales forecast for the
upcoming year:

First Quarter Second Quarter Third Quarter Fourth Quarter


Budgeted unit sales 32,000 30,000 28,000 30,000

The selling price of the company’s product is $10.00 per unit. Management expects to collect 75% of sales
in the quarter in which the sales are made and 20% in the quarter following. The remaining 5% of sales
are expected to be uncollectible. The beginning balance of accounts receivable is $60,000, all of which
the company expects to collect in the first quarter.

The company expects to start the first quarter with 6,400 units in finished goods inventory. Kingfisher
prefers to have an ending finished goods inventory in each quarter equal to 20% of the next quarter’s
budgeted sales volume. The desired inventory in finished goods at the end of the fourth quarter is 6,800
units.

Required:

1. Prepare the company’s sales budget and expected cash collections for next year.
2. Prepare the company’s production budget, by quarter, for the next year.

Question 2

Moncton Industries manufactures programmable calculators. Each calculator requires three small chips
that cost $4.00 each and are purchased from an overseas manufacturer. The production budget for the
upcoming year for the company is as follows:

First Quarter Second Quarter Third Quarter Fourth Quarter


Budgeted production 90,000 135,000 225,000 150,000

Budgeted production for the first quarter of next year (i.e. year 2) is 120,000 units.

Because the chips are sourced overseas, Moncton prefers to have a substantial amount if raw materials
on hand. Consequently, the desired inventory at the end of any quarter is 20% of the next quarter’s
budgeted production. A total of 54,000 chips will be on at hand at the start of the first quarter.

Required:

1. Prepare a direct materials budget for chips, by each quarter and in total for the year. Show the
dollar amount of purchases for each quarter and for the year.
