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.

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:

1) Sales budget

2) Schedule of cash collections

3) Production budget

Actual cost of fabric:                                       $4.50 per square foot

Fabric consumed:                                            32,080 square feet

Standard price per square foot of fabric:                     $4.25

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
