**Budgeting Production, Direct Materials, and Income Statement**

Lane Products manufactures a popular kitchen utensil. The company recently expanded, and the controller believes that it will need to borrow cash to continue operations. It opened negotiations with the local bank for a one-month loan of $42,000 starting March 1. The bank would charge interest at the rate of 0.5 percent per month and require the company to repay interest and principal on March 31. In considering the loan, the bank requested a projected income statement and cash budget for March.

**The following information is available:**

- The company budgeted sales at 13,000 units per month in February, April, and May and at 10,000 units in March. The selling price is $61 per unit.
- The company offers a 2 percent discount for cash sales. The company's experience is that bad debts average 1 percent of credit sales.
- The inventory of finished goods on February 1 was 2,500 units. The desired finished goods inventory at the end of each month equals 25 percent of sales anticipated for the following month. There is no work in process.
- The inventory of raw materials on February 1 was 2,300 pounds. At the end of each month, the raw materials inventory equals no less than 20 percent of production requirements for the following month. The company purchases materials in quantities of 255 pounds per shipment.
- Selling expenses are 6 percent of gross sales. Administrative expenses, which include depreciation of $800 per month on office furniture and fixtures, total $69,000 per month.
- The manufacturing budget for the utensil, based on normal production of 12,000 units per month, follows.

| **Materials (½ pound per utensil, 6,000 pounds, $30 per pound)** | **$180,000** |

| **Variable overhead**                                          | **$61,000**  |
| **Fixed overhead (includes depreciation of $22,000)**          | **$121,000** |
| **Total**                                                      | **$483,000** |
