Spitzer Company has collected sales forecasts for next year from three people.
They have estimated that the cost of goods sold is 70 percent of sales. The company tries to
maintain 10 percent of next quarters expected cost of goods sold as the current quarters ending
inventory. The ending inventory of this year is $25,000. For budgeting, the ending inventory of
the next year is expected to be $28,000.
Required
a. Complete the spreadsheet below to allow the inventory purchases budget to be prepared for
each of the estimates above.
Spreadsheet Tips
This spreadsheet uses a function called vertical lookup. This function can pull the appropriate
values from a table. The form of this function is =VLOOKUP(value,table,column#). In this
example, the table is in cells A5 to F7. Three examples of the use of VLOOKUP follow.
Cell B23 is =VLOOKUP(A23,A5:F7,2). This function operates by using the letter "c" in cell
A23 to look up a value in the table. Notice that the table is defined as A5:F7 and that the function
is looking up the value in the second column, which is Production Manager.
Cell C26 is =VLOOKUP(A23,A5:F7,3). In this case, the function is looking up the value in the
third column, which is 460,000. Be sure to count empty columns.
Cells D26, E26, and F26 also use the VLOOKUP function.
After completing the spreadsheet, you can change the value in cell A23 (a-c) to see the effect of
choosing a different source of sales estimate.
Change the budget by changing the value in cell A23.
