Preparing an operating budget—sales, production, direct materials, direct labor, overhead, COGS, and S&A expense budgets The Irwin Batting Company manufactures wood baseball bats. Irwin’s two primary products are a youth bat, designed for children and young teens, and an adult bat, designed for high school and college-aged players. Irwin sells the bats to sporting goods stores, and all sales are on account. The youth bat sells for \(35; the adult bat sells for \)50. Irwin’s highest sales volume is in the first three months of the year as retailers prepare for the spring baseball season. Irwin’s balance sheet for December 31, 2018, follows:
Other data for Irwin Batting Company for the first quarter of 2019:
a. Budgeted sales are 1,400 youth bats and 3,300 adult bats.
b. Finished Goods Inventory on December 31, 2018, consists of 700 youth bats at \(15 each and 550 adult bats at \)10 each.
c. Desired ending Finished Goods Inventory is 220 youth bats and 300 adult bats; FIFO inventory costing method is used.
d. Direct materials requirements are 40 ounces of wood for youth bats and 70 ounces of wood for adult bats. The cost of wood is \(0.10 per ounce.
e. Raw Materials Inventory on December 31, 2018, consists of 90,000 ounces of wood at \)0.10 per ounce.
f. Desired ending Raw Materials Inventory is 90,000 ounces (indirect materials are insignificant and not considered for budgeting purposes).
g. Each bat requires 0.4 hours of direct labor; direct labor costs average \(26 per hour.
h. Variable manufacturing overhead is \)0.30 per bat.
i. Fixed manufacturing overhead includes \(1,300 per quarter in depreciation and \)14,977 per quarter for other costs, such as insurance and property taxes.

Preparing an operating budget—sales budget Brown Company manufactures luggage sets. Brown sells its luggage sets to department stores. Brown expects to sell 1,700 luggage sets for \(180 each in January and 2,050 luggage sets for \)180 each in February. All sales are cash only. Prepare the sales budget for January and February.
Preparing a financial budget—cash budget
Booth has \(12,500 in cash on hand on January 1 and has collected the following budget data:
January February
Sales \) 529,000 \( 568,000
Cash receipts from customers 443,000 502,200
Cash payments for direct materials purchases 180,624 160,284
Direct labor costs 135,010 113,348
Manufacturing overhead costs (includes
depreciation of \)900 per month) 55,058 53,922
Assume direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead costs are paid in the month incurred. Additionally, assume Booth has cash payments for selling and administrative expenses including salaries of \(40,000 per month plus commissions that are 1% of sales, all paid in the month of sale. The company requires a minimum cash balance of \)20,000. Prepare a cash budget for January and February. Round to the nearest dollar. Will Booth need to borrow cash by the end of February?
Preparing a financial budget
This problem continues the Piedmont Computer Company situation from Chapter 21. Assume Piedmont Computer began January with \(15,000 cash. Management forecasts that cash receipts from credit customers will be \)48,000 in January and \(51,000 in February. Projected cash payments include equipment purchases (\)20,000 in January and \(41,000 in February) and selling and administrative expenses (\)2,000 each month).
Piedmont Computer Company’s bank requires a \(26,000 minimum balance in the firm’s checking account. At the end of any month when the account balance falls below \)26,000, the bank automatically extends credit to the firm in multiples of \(5,000. Piedmont Computer Company borrows as little as possible and pays back loans each month in \)1,000 increments, plus 12% interest on the entire unpaid principal. The first payment occurs one month after the loan.
Requirements
1. Prepare Piedmont Computer Company’s cash budget for January and February 2020.
2. How much cash will Piedmont Computer Company borrow in February if cash receipts from customers that month total \(41,000 instead of \)51,000?
