Preparing an operating budget—direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead budgets

Grady, Inc. manufactures model airplane kits and projects production at 650, 500, 450, and 600 kits for the next four quarters. Direct materials are 4 ounces of plastic per kit and the plastic costs \(1 per ounce. Indirect materials are considered insignificant and are not included in the budgeting process. Beginning Raw Materials Inventory is 850 ounces, and the company desires to end each quarter with 10% of the materials needed for the next quarter’s production. Grady desires a balance of 200 ounces in Raw Materials Inventory at the end of the fourth quarter. Each kit requires 0.10 hours of direct labor at an average cost of \)10 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is allocated using direct labor hours as the allocation base. Variable overhead is \(0.20 per kit, and fixed overhead is \)165 per quarter. Prepare Grady’s direct materials budget, direct labor budget, and manufacturing overhead budget for the year. Round the direct labor hours needed for production, budgeted overhead costs, and predetermined overhead allocation rate to two decimal places. Round other amounts to the nearest whole number.

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?
