Project - Case 1

Davis Dry Goods distributes silk ties. You are in charge of creating Davis' master budget for the upcoming second quarter, April - June 2015.

Davis desires a minimum ending cash balance each month of $11,000. The ties are sold to retailers for $9 each. Recent and forecasted sales in units are as follows:

January (actual)..........	20,000	June .........................	60,000
February (actual) .......	24,000	July............................	40,000
March (actual) ............	28,000	August ......................	W,GDO
April .............................	35,000	September ...............	32,000
May .............................	45,000

The large buildup in sales before and during June is due to Father's Day. Ending inventories are supposed to equal 90% of the next month's sales in units. The ties cost the company $5 each.

Purchases are paid for as follows: 50% in the month of purchase and the remaining 50% in the following month. All sales are on credit, with no discount, and payable within 15 days. The company has found, however, that only 25% of a month's sales are collected by month-end. An additional 75% is collected in the following month. Bad debts have been negligible.

The company's monthly selling and administrative expenses are given below:

Variable:

Sales commissions  ............ $1 per he

Fixed:

Wages and salaries ....................... $22,000

Utilities  ................................... $14,000

Insurance  ................................ $1,200

Depreciation  ...................................... $1,500

Miscellaneous .......................... $3,030

All selling and administrative expenses are paid during the month, in cash, with the exception of depreciation and insurance expired.

Davis has an agreement with a bank that allows it to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month, and for simplicity, we will assume that interest is not compounded. At the end of the quarter, the company would pay the bank all of the accumulated interest on the loan and as much of the loan as possible (in increments of $1,000), while still retaining at least $11,000 in cash.

Land will be purchased during May for $25,000 cash Davis declares and pays dividends of $11,000 in the first month each quarter. The company's balance sheet at March 31 is given below:

Assets

Cash........................................................... $ 10,000

Accounts receivable ............................  189,000

Inventory (31,500 ties) ..............................  157,500
