HCS MFG. makes its product for $60 per unit and sells it for $130 per unit. The sales staff receives a commission of 10% of dollar sales. Its June income statement follows.
Management expects June’s results to be repeated in July, August, and September without any changes in strategy. Management, however, has another plan. It believes that unit sales will increase at a rate of 10% each month for the next three months (beginning with July) if the kern’s selling price is reduced to $115 per unit and advertising expenses are increased by 25% and remain at that level for all three months. The cost of its product will remain at $60 per unit, the sales staff will continue to earn a 10% commission, and the remaining expenses will stay the same.
Required
- Prepare budgeted income statements for each of the months of July, August, and September that show the expected results from implementing the proposed changes. Use a three- column format, with one column for each month.
Check Budgeted net income: July, $102,500; August, $150,350; September, $202,985

Prepare monthly estimates of the required financing or excess funds that is, the amount of money Bowers will need to borrow or will have available to invest. c. Now suppose receipts from sales come in uniformly during the month (that is, cash receipts come in at the rate of 130 each day), but all outflows must be paid on the 5th. Will this affect the cash budget? That is, will the cash budget you prepared be valid under these assumptions? If not, what could be done to make a valid estimate of the peak financing requirements? No calculations are required, although if you prefer, you can use calculations to illustrate the effects. d. Bowers sales are seasonal; and her company produces on a seasonal basis, just ahead of sales.
