Question
Glow, Inc. is interested in purchasing some new manufacturing equipment right after the beginning of the new year. They would like to finance the new equipment with cash and marketable securities, but if necessary they can get a short-term loan from a local bank. You have been engaged to prepare a master budget for Glow, Inc. for the first quarter of 2016. Glow, Inc. is a small, rapidly growing manufacturer of lighting equipment. The company’s main product line is table lamps. The marketing manager has recently completed a sales forecast. She believes the company’s sales during the first quarter of 2016 will increase by 15 percent each month over the previous month’s sales. Then sales are expected to remain constant for several months. Glow Inc.’s projected balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 is as follows:
Cash $60,000
Accounts receivable 312,000
Marketable securities 30,000
Inventory 261,625
Buildings and equipment (net of accumulated depreciation) 1,298,519
Total assets $1,962,144
Accounts payable $366,844
Bond interest payable 12,500
Property taxes payable 4,800
Bonds payable (10%; due in 2020) 600,000
Common stock 750,000
Retained earnings 228,000
Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $1,962,144
The controller is now preparing a budget for the first quarter of 2016. In the process, the following information has been accumulated:
1) Projected sales for December 2015 are $650,000. Credit sales are typically 60% of total sales. Glow, Inc.’s credit experience indicates that 20% of credit sales are collected during the month of sale, and the remainder are collected during the following month.
2) Glow, Inc.’s cost of goods sold generally runs at 70% of sales. Inventory is purchased on account and 25% of each month’s purchases are paid during the month of purchase. The remainder is paid during the following month. In order to have adequate stocks of inventory on hand, the company attempts to have inventory on hand at the end of each month equal to half of the next month’s projected cost of goods sold.
3) The controller has estimated that Glow Inc.’s other monthly expenses will be as follows:
Sales salaries $20,000
Advertising and promotion 25,000
Administrative salaries 35,000
Depreciation 15,000
Interest on bonds 2,500
Property taxes 1,200
In addition, sales commissions run at the rate of 3 percent of sales and are paid in the same month as the sale.
4) The company president has indicated that the company should invest $275,000 in state of the art manufacturing equipment just after the new year begins. This equipment purchase will be financed primarily from the company’s cash and marketable securities. However, the president believes the company needs to keep a minimum cash balance of $50,000. If necessary, the remainder of the equipment purchase will be financed using short-term credit from a local bank. The minimum period for such a loan is three months. The current short-term interest rates are 8 percent per year and are expected to remain at this rate through the time the equipment is purchased. If a loan is necessary, the president has decided it should be paid off by the end of the first quarter if possible.
5) Glow, Inc.’s board of directors has indicated an intention to declare and pay dividends of $100,000 on the last day of each quarter.
6) The interest on any short-term borrowing will be paid when the loan is repaid. Interest on Glow, Inc.’s bonds is paid semiannually on January 31 and July 31 for the preceding six-month period.
7) Property taxes are paid semiannually on February 28 and August 31 for the preceding six-month period.
