Bright World LLC (BW) distributes sunglasses to small retail stores in the Midwest part of the United States. BW does not manufacture the sunglasses, but instead buys the sunglasses from foreign sources and resells the sunglasses to small retail stores.

Shipping firms and U.S. Customs have previously delayed sunglass shipments arriving from the foreign manufacturers. BW management has addressed this concern by establishing a policy that the ending inventory for a quarter should be 50% of the next quarters sales.
All sunglasses are sold for $12 per pair. All sales are on credit with no discount, and are payable in 30 days. BW has found that only 20% of a quarters sales are collected in the quarter of sale, with an additional 60% collected in the quarter following the sale, and the remaining 20% is collected in the second quarter following the sale. Bad debts have been insignificant and are not budgeted.
BW buys sunglasses from foreign suppliers. BW pays $5 per pair of sunglasses. 40% of a quarters purchase is paid for in the quarter of purchase, the other 60% is paid for in the quarter following the quarter of purchase.
BW plans to purchase new computer equipment costing $22,000 during the second quarter of 2020 and a new packing machine for $40,000 during the 3rd quarter of 2020. Both of these equipment purchases will be for cash at the time of the purchase.
BW has a regular dividend pattern which is expected to continue during 2020. This pattern involves BWs board of directors declaring a $25,000 quarterly dividend on March 15th, June 15th, September 15th, and December 15th. The dividends are paid 30 days after the boards declaration.

Sales commissions are accrued in the quarter the sales are made, but are paid to the sales staff in the next quarter.
Insurance for a twelve month period is prepaid on October 1 of each year. All other expenses are paid in the quarter incurred.
The company requires a minimum cash balance of $50,000. All borrowings and repayments are done in even $1,000 increments. All borrowings are done on the first day of the quarter, and repayments are made on the last day of the quarter. Interest for all monies borrowed during a quarter is computed and accrued on the last day of the quarter and paid to the bank in the following quarter. Money borrowed is charged interest at a 7% annual rate.
[Borrowing and Interest Example - If BW computes that the company will need to borrow $20,000 for the first quarter, the loan would occur on January 1 and interest expense during the first quarter would be $350 and this interest would be paid to the bank in the second quarter. If in the second quarter, BW determines that it will be able to repay the $20,000 loan, the repayment would occur on the last day of the second quarter or June 30. Interest expense for the second quarter would $350 and this interest would be paid in the third quarter.]

Begin Your Budget Project by preparing the following Budget Schedules:
All schedules listed below in Number 1, must be prepared by quarter and include an annual total column.
For all schedules in number 1 below round amounts to the nearest dollar. For all calculations in number 2 calculations should be to 3 decimal places. The pages referencing examples are just that, EXAMPLES. You need to use the assumptions given to prepare a schedule that fits the facts of the Budget you are preparing.
1) Prepare the following budget schedules for 2020.
A sales budget. See page 372
A schedule of expected cash collections from sales. See page 372
A merchandise purchases budget in units and in dollars. See page 374. The book mentions that a purchases budget can be prepared in dollars and in units. I would suggest preparing your merchandise purchase in units and when the units have been determined, multiple the units time the purchase price.
A schedule of expected cash disbursements for merchandise purchases.
A selling and administrative expense budget. See page 380.
A cash budget including borrowings and loan repayments. See page 382.
A budgeted Income Statement by quarter and total for 2020.
