Textbook Question

Chapter 9, Problem 9.67BP

Comprehensive summary problem (Learning Objectives 2 8 3)

Birdhouses Inc. makes backyard birdhouses. The company sells the birdhouses to home improvement stores for $20 per birdfeeder. Each birdhouse requires 2.0 board feet of wood, which the company obtains at a cost of $5 per board foot. The company would like to maintain an ending stock of wood equal to 15% of the next month’s production requirements. The company would also like to maintain an ending stock of finished birdfeeders equal to 10% of the next month’s sales.

Sales data for the company is as follows:

	Units
October actual sales (prior year)	72.000
November actual sales (prior year)	84.000
December actual sales (prior year)	91,000
January projected sales	95.000
February projected sales	105,000
March projected sales	110,000
April projected sales	125,000

In any given month, 25% of the total sales are cash sales, while the remainder are credit sales.

The company’s collection history indicates that 75% of credit sales is collected in the month after the sale, 15% is collected two months after the sale, 8% is collected three months after the sale, and the remaining 2% is never collected. Assume that the total cost of direct materials purchases in December was $1,001,000. The company pays 60% of its direct materials purchases in the month of purchase and pays the remaining 40% in the month after purchase.

Requirements

1. Prepare the following budgets for the first three months of the year, as well as a summary budget for the quarter.
2. Prepare the sales budget, including a separate section that details the type of sales made (cash versus credit).
3. Prepare the production budget.
4. Prepare the direct materials purchases budget. Assume the company needs 242,000 board feet of wood for production in April.
5. Prepare the cash collections budget for January, February, and March, as well as a summary for the first quarter.
6. Prepare the cash payments budget for direct materials purchases for the months of January, February, and March, as well as a summary for the first quarter.
