MASTERBUDGET PROJECT CONNECT ASSIGNMENT

Case 9-29 Master Budget with Supporting Schedules [LO9-2, LO9-4, LO9-8, LO9-9, LO9-10]

You have just been hired as a management trainee by Cravat Sales Company, a nationwide distributor of a designer’s silk ties. The company has an exclusive franchise on the distribution of the ties, and sales have grown so rapidly over the last few years that it has become necessary to add new members to the management team. You have been given responsibility for all planning and budgeting. Your first assignment is to prepare a master budget for the next three months, starting April 1. You are anxious to make a favorable impression on the president and have assembled the information below.

  

     The company desires a minimum ending cash balance each month of $10,000. The ties are sold to retailers for $8 each. Recent and forecasted sales in units are as follows:

  

       
  January (actual) 22,000     June 65,000  
  February (actual) 27,000     July 41,000  
  March (actual) 30,000     August 43,000  
  April 38,000     September 41,000  
  May 47,000      

 

  

The large buildup in sales before and during June is due to Father’s Day. Ending inventories are supposed to equal 90% of the next month’s sales in units. The ties cost the company $5 each.

  

     Purchases are paid for as follows: 50% in the month of purchase and the remaining 50% in the following month. All sales are on credit, with no discount, and payable within 15 days. The company has found, however, that only 25% of a month’s sales are collected by month-end. An additional 50% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 25% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been negligible.
 
The company’s monthly selling and administrative expenses are given below:

  

 
  Variable:      
     Sales commissions   $ 1   per tie
  Fixed:      
     Wages and salaries $ 31,200    
     Utilities $ 21,500    
     Insurance $ 1,400    
     Depreciation $ 1,500    
     Miscellaneous $ 3,100    

 

  

     All selling and administrative expenses are paid during the month, in cash, with the exception of depreciation and insurance expired. Land will be purchased during May for $21,000 cash. The company declares dividends of $9,000 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter. The company’s balance sheet at March 31 is given below:

  

     
Assets
  Cash $ 13,000  
  Accounts receivable ($54,000 February sales; $180,000
  March sales)		   234,000  
  Inventory (34,200 units)   171,000  
  Prepaid insurance   16,800  
  Fixed assets, net of depreciation   149,900  
 

 

 
  Total assets $ 584,700  
 

 

 
Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
  Accounts payable $ 93,000  
  Dividends payable   9,000  
  Capital stock   300,000  
  Retained earnings   182,700  
 

 

 
  Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $ 584,700  
 

 

 

 

  

     The company has an agreement with a bank that allows it to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan balance of $160,000. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month, and for simplicity, we will assume that interest is not compounded. At the end of the quarter, the company would pay the bank all of the accumulated interest on the loan and as much of the loan as possible (in increments of $1,000), while still retaining at least $10,000 in cash.

  

Required:
1.

Prepare a master budget for the three-month period ending June 30. Include the following detailed budgets:

  

a.

A sales budget by month and in total.

 

            

b.

c. A merchandise purchases budget in units and in dollars. Show the budget by month and in total.
   

         

d.

2.
 

A cash budget. Show the budget by month and in total. (Cash deficiency, repayments and interest should be indicated by a minus sign.)
   

     

3. A budgeted income statement for the three-month period ending June 30. Use the contribution approach.
   

     

4.

A budgeted balance sheet as of June 30.

Data Analysis Project for De-encryption

Letter frequencies.
If you were to encrypt a file using the cipher of Exercise P9.2 (attached), the letters will mixed up, and will appear as that you cannot decrypt it without the keyword. Also, it would seem illogical to try and guess the keyword, but someone who is trained in decryption would have no trouble breaking the cipher. The average letter frequencies of English letters are common knowledge. The most common letter E, occurs about 13% of the time.
 

  1. See Exhibit B.
  2. Write a program that reads as an input file and shows the letter frequencies in the file. This tool is invaluable to a code breaker. If the most frequent letters are H and K there is a high probability that they are the encryptions of E and T.
  3. Expand on your 9.3 project to add components that either aide in printing out a deciphered message, or to automatically attempt to output

Submit a screenshot of the executed program and the code of the program. Save program as a cpp file type.
