You have just been hired as a new management trainee by EarringsUnlimited, a distributor of earrings to various retail outletslocated in shopping malls across the country. In the past, thecompany has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certaintimes of the year has experienced a shortage of cash.

   

Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided toprepare comprehensive budgets for the upcoming second quarter inorder to show management the benefits that can be gained from anintegrated budgeting program. To this end, you have worked withaccounting and other areas to gather the information assembledbelow.

   

The company sells many styles of earrings, but all are sold forthe same price—$14 per pair. Actual sales of earrings for the lastthree months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow (inpairs of earrings):

   

   
  January (actual)20,900  June (budget)50,900
  February (actual)26,900  July (budget)30,900
  March (actual)40,900  August (budget)28,900
  April (budget)65,900  September (budget)25,900
  May (budget)100,900

   

The concentration of sales before and during May is due toMother's Day. Sufficient inventory should be on hand at the end ofeach month to supply 30% of the earrings sold in the followingmonth.

   

Suppliers are paid $8 for a pair of earrings. One-half of amonth's purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the otherhalf is paid for in the following month. All sales are on credit,with no discount, and payable within 15 days. The company hasfound, however, that only 20% of a month's sales are collected inthe month of sale. An additional 60% is collected in the followingmonth, and the remaining 20% is collected in the second monthfollowing sale. Bad debts have been negligible.

   
Monthly operating expenses for the company are givenbelow:

   

   
  Variable:
     Sales commissions4% of sales
  Fixed:
     Advertising$199,100    
     Rent$17,100    
     Salaries$105,100    
     Utilities$6,100    
     Insurance$2,100    
     Depreciation$13,100    

    

Insurance is paid on an annual basis, in November of eachyear.
    
The company plans to purchase $15,300 in new equipment duringMay and $39,100 in new equipment during June; both purchases willbe for cash. The company declares dividends of $10,500 eachquarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter.
   
A listing of the company's ledger accounts as of March 31 isgiven below:

    

   
  Assets  Liabilities and Stockholders'Equity
  Cash$150,000  Accounts payable$193,600
  Accounts receivable ($75,320 February
     sales; $458,080 March sales)

  Inventory158,160  Capital stock890,000
  Prepaid insurance21,900  Retained earnings589,000
  Property and equipment (net)819,640
  Total assets$1,683,100  Total liabilities and stockholders' equity$1,683,100

   

The company maintains a minimum cash balance of $30,000. Allborrowing is done at the beginning of a month; any repayments aremade at the end of a month.

    

The company has an agreement with a bank that allows the companyto borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month.The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month and for simplicitywe will assume that interest is not compounded. At the end of thequarter, the company would pay the bank all of the accumulatedinterest on the loan and as much of the loan as possible (inincrements of $1,000), while still retaining at least $30,000 incash.
