Question

We would like you to prepare the Softball Bat Division’s Master Budget for 2016

The deliverables are as follows:

1. Sales budget, including a schedule of expected cash collections.

2. Production budget.

3. Direct materials budget, including a schedule of expected cash disbursements for materials.

4. Direct labor budget.

5. Manufacturing overhead budget, with a calculation of a pre-determined overhead rate.

6. Ending finished goods inventory budget as of December 31, 2016* with the calculated production cost of each bat.

7. Selling and administrative expense budget.

8. Cash budget.

9. Budgeted income statement for the year ended December 31, 2016.*

10. Budgeted balance sheet for December 31, 2016.*

All the Master Budget schedules (except those marked with an asterisk) for the Softball Bat Division should include a column for each quarter and a total column for the fiscal year. We only need annual totals for the budgeted financial statements (schedules 9 and 10) and we only need a year-end total for the value of finished goods inventory (schedule 6).

Bamboo Bat Company

Baseball bats have been traditionally made from hardwoods – primarily Northern White Ash, and more recently, Rock and Sugar Maple. These trees take 40-45 years to grow to the point where they can be harvested for lumber suitable for bats. Once established, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. The chutes can be continually harvested without damaging the underlying root structure, which will keep sending up additional chutes. Bamboo can be grown on land not suitable for other crops, or as a natural fence with its roots holding the soil and preventing erosion. Thus bamboo is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional hardwoods as a material source for baseball bats. Bamboo also has a tensile strength greater than steel. A bamboo bat delivers superior performance and resistance to breakage, while retaining the feel of a hardwood bat.

Since bamboo chutes are hollow, bamboo bats are made by pressing bamboo "strips" into billets, and then turning these billets into bats. The Softball Bat Division specializes in making softball bats. All the softball bats have a two-tone finish with a clear lacquer handle and a colored barrel. Two examples are shown in the photos to the right. Lacquer is treated as an indirect material and included as part of variable overhead because the cost per bat is so small. Bamboo is the only direct material.

During 2016, the selling price will be $80 per bat. The Softball Bat Division expects to sell the following number of bats during 2016.

Quarter            First                 Second            Third                Fourth

Bats sold         82,000             75,000             90,000             81,000

The collection pattern for Accounts Receivable is as follows:

o 55 percent of all sales are collected within the quarter in which they are sold

o 45 percent of all sales are collected in the following quarter.

o There are no bad debts/uncollectible.

Due to higher than expected demand this year the Softball Bat Division expects to have no finished bats in inventory. To avoid having that problem in the coming fiscal year, the Softball Bat Division would like to have the ending inventory of bats at the end of each quarter equal 25 percent of the budgeted sales for the next quarter. They would like to have 20,000 bats on hand at the end of 2016.

Each bat requires 40 ounces of bamboo strips. The Softball Bat Division buys bamboo for $0.90 per ounce and expects the price to remain constant throughout the year. They expect to have to have 409,000 ounces of bamboo strips on hand at the beginning of 2016. At the end of each of the first three quarters, the Softball Bat Division would like to have their direct materials inventory

The Softball Bat Division buys its bamboo on account. It pays for 60% of its purchases of direct materials in the quarter in which they were purchased and 40% in the quarter after they were purchased.

Each bat requires .80 hours (48 minutes) of direct labor. Employees engaged in direct labor will be paid an estimated $16.00 per labor hour. Wages and salaries are paid on the 15th and 30th of each month.

Variable manufacturing overhead is estimated to be $14.00 per direct labor hour for the coming fiscal year. All variable manufacturing overhead expenses are paid for in the quarter incurred.

Fixed manufacturing overhead is estimated to total $540,000 each quarter, with $360,000 of the total amount each quarter representing depreciation on machinery, equipment and the factory. All other fixed manufacturing overhead expenses are paid in cash in the quarter incurred. Display the pre-determined overhead rate to the nearest penny, but do not round the underlying calculation.

Variable selling and administrative expenses are estimated to be $8.00 per bat sold. Fixed selling and administrative expenses are expected to total $280,000 each quarter, with $48,000 of the total amount each quarter representing depreciation on the office space, furniture and equipment. Other than depreciation, all selling and administrative expenses are paid for in the quarter incurred.

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2016 the Softball Bat Division plans to buy new machinery and equipment for $1,500,000. The new machinery and equipment will be acquired at the very end of the year, so it will not be used in production and sales during the coming year and it will not be depreciated until the following year. The Softball Bat Division expects to pay 30% down and finance the remaining 70% of the equipment cost with a note payable secured by the new equipment. No interest payable will accrue on the note payable until after December 31, 2016.

Softball Bat Division will pay quarterly dividends of $40,000 to its corporate parent, Bamboo Bat Company.

Bamboo Bat Company would like the Softball Bat Division to maintain a minimum cash balance of $100,000. If after accounting for cash receipts and disbursements (including dividends) in the cash budget, the budgeted cash available cash falls below $100,000 in any quarter, the Softball Division will need to borrow additional cash. The Softball Division has arranged a line of credit (a “revolver”) allowing it to borrow in $10,000 increments. Assume borrowing will take place at the beginning of any quarter in which the available cash would otherwise be below $100,000 so that at no time during the quarter will the cash balance fall below $100,000. The bank charges the Softball Division interest at the rate of 1.25% per quarter (paid at the end of each quarter). If there is excess cash available, it should be used to pay down the revolver (again, in $10,000 increments).
