Chapter 6 Exercise 2
2. Schedule of cash collections Sugarland Company sells a single product and
anticipates opening a new facility in Charlotte on May 1 of the current year.
Expected sales during the first three months of activity are: May, $60,000; June,
$80,000; and July, $85,000. Thirty percent of all sales are for cash; the remaining
70% are on account. Credit sales have the following collection pattern: Collected
in the month of sale
60%
Collected in the month following sale 35 Uncollectible 5
a. Prepare a schedule of cash collections for May through July.
b. Compute the expected balance in Accounts Receivable as of July 31.
Chapter 6 Exercise 4 4. Production and cash-outlay computations RPR, Inc.,
anticipates that 120,000 units of product K will be sold during May. Each unit of
product K requires four units of raw material A. Actual inventories as of May 1 and
budgeted inventories as of May 31 follow.
1-May
31-May
Product K (Units)
55,000
60,000
Rate Materials A (Units)
2. 40,000
37,000
Each unit of raw material A costs $8; RPR pays for all purchases in the month of
acquisition. Invoices that account for 80% of the cost of materials acquired will be
paid within 10 days of receipt, entitling the company to a 2% cash discount.
a. Determine the number of units of product K to be manufactured in May.
b. Compute the May cash outlay for purchases of raw material A.
Chapter 6 Exercise 5 5. Abbreviated cash budget; financing emphasis An
abbreviated cash budget for Big Chuck Enterprises follows.
Big Chuck wishes to maintain a $10,000 minimum cash balance at all times.
Additional financing is available (and retired) in $1,000 multiples at a 12% interest
rate. Assume that borrowings take place at the beginning of the month;
retirements, in contrast, occur at the end of the month. Interest is paid at the time
of repaying principal and computed on the portion of principal repaid.
a. Find the unknowns in Big Chuck's abbreviated cash budget.
b. Determine the outstanding loan balance as of September 30, after any
repayments have been made.

The following information has been extracted from the firm's accounting records:
1. All sales are made on account at $20 per unit. Sixty percent of the sales are
collected in the month of sale; the remaining 40% are collected in the following
month. Forecasted sales for the first five months of 19X2 are: January, 1,500
units,- February, 1,600 units; March, 1,800 units; April, 2,000 units; May, 2,100
units.
2. Management wants to maintain the finished goods inventory at 30% of the
following month's sales.
3. Watson uses four units of direct material in each finished unit. The direct
material price has been stable and is expected to remain so over the next six
months. Management wants to maintain the ending direct materials inventory at
60% of the following month's production needs.
4. Seventy percent of all purchases are paid in the month of purchase; the
remaining 30% are paid in the subsequent month.
5. Watson's product requires 30 minutes of direct labor time. Each hour of direct
labor costs $7.
Instructions:
a. Rounding computations to the nearest dollar, prepare the following for January
through March:
1) Sales budget
2) Schedule of cash collections
3) Production budget
4) Direct material purchases budget
5) Schedule of cash disbursements for material purchases 6) Direct labor budget
b. Determine the balances in the following accounts as of March 31:
1) Accounts Receivable
2) Direct Materials
3) Accounts Payable

3. Variances for direct materials and direct labor
Banner Company manufactures flags of various countries. Each flag has a
standard of eight square feet of fabric and three hours of direct labor time.
Information about recent production activity follows.
Actual cost of fabric: $4.50 per square foot
Fabric consumed: 32,080 square feet
Standard price per square foot of fabric: $4.25
Standard direct labor rate: $10.00 per hour
Actual direct labor rate: $10.20 per hour
Actual labor hours worked: 11,940
Actual production completed: 4,000 flags
a. Compute the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance.
b. Compute the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance.
Chapter 7 Exercise 5
5. Overhead variances
Nova Manufacturing applies factory overhead to products on the basis of direct
labor hours. At the beginning of the current year, the company's accountant made
the following estimates for the forthcoming period: Estimated variable overhead:
$500,000 Estimated fixed overhead: $400,000 Estimated direct labor hours:
40,000
It is now 12 months later. Actual total overhead incurred in the manufacture of
7,900 units amounted to $895,100. Actual labor hours totaled 39,800. Assuming a
direct labor standard of five hours per finished unit, calculate the following:
a. Variable overhead efficiency variance
b. Fixed overhead volume variance
c. Overhead spending variance
