Assignment
Tipless, Inc., a manufacturer of coffee cups, decided in October 19X0 that it needed cash to continue operations. It began negotiating for a one-month bank loan of $100,000 starting November 1, 19X0. The bank would charge interest at the rate of 1% per month and require the company to repay interest and principal on November 30, 19X0. In considering the loan, the bank requested a projected income statement and cash budget for November.
The following information is available:
* The company budgeted sales at 120,000 units per month in October 19X0, December 19X0, and January 19X1, and at 90,000 units in November 19X0. The selling price is $2 per unit.
* The inventory of finished goods on October 1 was 24,000 units. The finished goods inventory at the end of each month equals 20% of sales anticipated for the following month. There is no work in process.
* The inventory of raw materials on October 1 was 22,800 pounds. At the end of each month, the raw materials inventory equals no less than 40% of production requirements for the following month. The company purchases materials as needed in minimum quantities of 25,000 pounds per shipment.
* Selling expenses are 10% of gross sales. Administrative expenses, which include depreciation of $500 per month on office furniture and fixtures, total $33,000 per month.
