Question 1

Venture Company is preparing its manufacturing budget. Budgeted production for the year is 40,000 units. Total budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $200,000. The company's policy is to keep ending finished goods inventory equal to 5,000 units. Per-unit variable manufacturing costs are: Direct Materials $12, Direct Labor $8, and Variable Overhead $3. What is the budgeted value of the ending finished goods inventory?

  1. $115,000
  2. $25,000
  3. $125,000
  4. $140,000 (correct answer)
Explanation: To value ending inventory for external reporting, full absorption costing must be used. This requires allocating a portion of fixed manufacturing overhead to each unit.
  1. Calculate Fixed MOH per unit: Total Fixed MOH / Budgeted Production Units = $200,000 / 40,000 units = $5 per unit.
  2. Calculate Total Cost per unit: Direct Materials (12)+DirectLabor(12) + Direct Labor (8) + Variable Overhead (3)+FixedOverhead(3) + Fixed Overhead (5) = $28 per unit.
  3. Value of Ending Inventory: Ending Inventory Units × Total Cost per Unit = 5,000 units × $28/unit = $140,000.

Question 2

Zenith Manufacturing is preparing its budget for July. The company's policy is to maintain an ending finished goods inventory equal to 20% of the following month's sales. Budgeted sales for July and August are 10,000 units and 12,000 units, respectively. The full absorption manufacturing cost per unit is $35, which includes $10 of fixed manufacturing overhead. The beginning finished goods inventory on July 1 consisted of 2,000 units. What is Zenith's budgeted Cost of Goods Sold for July?

  1. $350,000 (correct answer)
  2. $364,000
  3. $336,000
  4. $250,000
Explanation: The budgeted Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is calculated as the number of units sold multiplied by the per-unit manufacturing cost. The information about inventory levels and production is needed to calculate the Cost of Goods Manufactured, but not directly for COGS if the unit cost is stable. COGS = Units Sold × Cost per Unit COGS = 10,000 units × $35/unit = $350,000. The other information is designed to make the question seem more complex, testing whether the student can identify the direct formula for COGS.

Question 3

Orion Inc. budgets sales of 20,000 units in June at a selling price of $60 per unit. The company expects to produce 22,000 units in June to build inventory. The per-unit variable manufacturing cost is $25. Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead for June is $110,000. What is Orion's budgeted gross margin for June?

  1. $700,000
  2. $590,000
  3. $600,000 (correct answer)
  4. $1,200,000
Explanation: Gross margin is Sales Revenue minus Cost of Goods Sold. The key is to calculate the correct cost per unit sold, which includes an allocation of fixed overhead.
  1. Sales Revenue: 20,000 units sold × $60/unit = $1,200,000.
  2. Fixed MOH per unit produced: $110,000 / 22,000 units produced = $5 per unit.
  3. Total Cost per unit: $25 (variable) + $5 (fixed) = $30 per unit.
  4. Cost of Goods Sold: 20,000 units sold × $30/unit = $600,000.
  5. Gross Margin: $1,200,000 (Sales) - $600,000 (COGS) = $600,000.

Question 4

Pioneer Company's budget contains the following data: Sales revenue of $700,000, cost of goods sold is 60% of sales, variable selling expenses are 5% of sales, fixed administrative expenses are $100,000 (including $20,000 of depreciation), and interest expense is $15,000. What is the company's budgeted income before taxes?

  1. $130,000 (correct answer)
  2. $150,000
  3. $145,000
  4. $115,000
Explanation: Income before taxes is calculated by subtracting all expenses except taxes from sales revenue.
  1. Sales Revenue: $700,000.
  2. Cost of Goods Sold: $700,000 × 60% = $420,000.
  3. Gross Margin: $700,000 - $420,000 = $280,000.
  4. Total S&A Expenses: ($700,000 × 5%) + $100,000 = $35,000 + $100,000 = $135,000. Depreciation is an expense and is correctly included in the $100,000 fixed amount.
  5. Net Operating Income: $280,000 - $135,000 = $145,000.
  6. Income Before Taxes: $145,000 - $15,000 (Interest Expense) = $130,000.

Question 5

A company is preparing its budgeted balance sheet for the end of the year. The budgeted ending cash balance is $50,000 and the budgeted ending raw materials inventory is $80,000. Budgeted credit sales for the fourth quarter are $400,000, and 90% of these sales are expected to be collected within the quarter. No other current assets exist. What is the company's budgeted total current assets at year-end?

  1. $170,000 (correct answer)
  2. $490,000
  3. $130,000
  4. $440,000
Explanation: Total current assets is the sum of cash, accounts receivable, and inventory.
  1. Given: Ending Cash = $50,000; Ending Inventory = $80,000.
  2. Calculate Ending Accounts Receivable: This is the portion of the quarter's credit sales that has not been collected. Uncollected percentage = 100% - 90% = 10%. Ending A/R = $400,000 × 10% = $40,000.
  3. Calculate Total Current Assets: $50,000 (Cash) + $40,000 (A/R) + $80,000 (Inventory) = $170,000.

Question 6

For Quarter 4, a company budgets production of 20,000 units. Each unit requires 3 lbs of raw material at $6/lb. The beginning raw material inventory is 12,000 lbs. The company desires an ending raw material inventory of 10,000 lbs. The payment schedule for purchases is 80% in the quarter of purchase and 20% in the following quarter. What is the budgeted Accounts Payable balance at the end of Quarter 4?

  1. $72,000
  2. $348,000
  3. $69,600 (correct answer)
  4. $360,000
Explanation: This is a multi-step problem that links the production budget to the purchases budget and finally to the budgeted balance sheet.
  1. Calculate Raw Materials needed for production: 20,000 units × 3 lbs/unit = 60,000 lbs.
  2. Calculate required Raw Material purchases (lbs): Production needs + Ending Inv. - Beginning Inv. = 60,000 + 10,000 - 12,000 = 58,000 lbs.
  3. Calculate cost of purchases: 58,000 lbs × $6/lb = $348,000.
  4. Calculate ending Accounts Payable: This is the unpaid portion of the current quarter's purchases. $348,000 × 20% = $69,600.

Question 7

A company is preparing its budgeted balance sheet. The beginning balance of Property, Plant, & Equipment (Net) was $800,000. The company plans to purchase new equipment costing $150,000 during the period. Budgeted depreciation expense for the period is $75,000. There are no sales of equipment planned. What is the budgeted ending balance for Property, Plant, & Equipment (Net)?

  1. $950,000
  2. $875,000 (correct answer)
  3. $725,000
  4. $650,000
Explanation: The ending balance of net PP&E is calculated as the beginning balance, plus any new purchases, less the depreciation expense for the period. Ending Net PP&E = Beginning Net PP&E + Cost of New Assets - Depreciation Expense Ending Net PP&E = $800,000 + $150,000 - $75,000 = $875,000.

Question 8

A company provides the following budget information for the year:

  • Sales (20,000 units): $1,000,000
  • Manufacturing cost per unit: $30
  • Sales commissions: 8% of sales
  • Fixed administrative salaries: $120,000
  • Interest expense: $20,000
  • Income tax rate: 25%

What is the company's budgeted net income for the year?

  1. $180,000
  2. $120,000
  3. $135,000 (correct answer)
  4. $200,000
Explanation: To find net income, a full budgeted income statement must be prepared.
  1. Sales: $1,000,000.
  2. Cost of Goods Sold: 20,000 units × $30/unit = $600,000.
  3. Gross Margin: $1,000,000 - $600,000 = $400,000.
  4. S&A Expenses: ($1,000,000 × 8%) + $120,000 = $80,000 + $120,000 = $200,000.
  5. Net Operating Income: $400,000 - $200,000 = $200,000.
  6. Income Before Tax: $200,000 - $20,000 (Interest) = $180,000.
  7. Tax Expense: $180,000 × 25% = $45,000.
  8. Net Income: $180,000 - $45,000 = $135,000.

Question 9

Momentum Corp. is creating its budget for the next period. Budgeted production is 20,000 units. Each unit requires 3 pounds of raw material at a cost of $4 per pound. The company's policy is to maintain a raw materials inventory equal to 10% of the next period's production needs. The beginning raw materials inventory is 6,000 pounds, and the ending raw materials inventory is targeted to be 7,000 pounds. What is the budgeted cost of raw material purchases for the period?

  1. $240,000
  2. $244,000 (correct answer)
  3. $236,000
  4. $28,000
Explanation: The cost of purchases is based on the quantity of materials to be purchased, which is driven by production needs and inventory policies.
  1. Materials needed for production: 20,000 units × 3 lbs/unit = 60,000 lbs.
  2. Total materials required: Materials for production + Desired ending inventory = 60,000 lbs + 7,000 lbs = 67,000 lbs.
  3. Materials to purchase (lbs): Total required - Beginning inventory = 67,000 lbs - 6,000 lbs = 61,000 lbs.
  4. Cost of purchases: 61,000 lbs × $4/lb = $244,000. The information about the 10% policy is extra data not needed for the calculation, as the absolute ending inventory target is given.

Question 10

Helix Co. pays for 60% of its raw material purchases in the month of purchase and 40% in the following month. Budgeted purchases for August were $200,000, and for September are $220,000. What is the budgeted Accounts Payable balance on the company's September 30th balance sheet?

  1. $212,000
  2. $132,000
  3. $80,000
  4. $88,000 (correct answer)
Explanation: The Accounts Payable balance at the end of a month consists of all purchases that have not yet been paid for. At the end of September, the only unpaid purchases will be from September. The portion of September's purchases that remains unpaid is 40%. Ending A/P = September Purchases × Unpaid Percentage Ending A/P = $220,000 × 40% = $88,000.

Question 11

Apex Industries is budgeting for the third quarter. All sales are on credit. The company's collection pattern is 60% in the quarter of sale and 40% in the quarter following the sale. Sales for the second quarter were $400,000, and budgeted sales for the third quarter are $450,000. What is the budgeted Accounts Receivable balance at the end of the third quarter?

  1. $180,000 (correct answer)
  2. $160,000
  3. $340,000
  4. $430,000
Explanation: The Accounts Receivable balance at the end of a period consists of all sales that have not yet been collected. At the end of the third quarter, the only uncollected sales will be from the third quarter's sales. The portion of third-quarter sales that remains uncollected is 40%. Ending A/R = Third Quarter Sales × Percentage Uncollected in that Quarter Ending A/R = $450,000 × 40% = $180,000.

Question 12

For the upcoming month, a company has budgeted sales of 25,000 units. The variable selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense is $3.00 per unit. Fixed SG&A expenses are $80,000 per month, which includes $20,000 of office equipment depreciation. What is the total budgeted SG&A expense that should appear on the budgeted income statement?

  1. $155,000 (correct answer)
  2. $135,000
  3. $75,000
  4. $80,000
Explanation: The total SG&A expense on the income statement includes all variable and fixed SG&A costs, including non-cash expenses like depreciation.
  1. Variable SG&A: 25,000 units × $3.00/unit = $75,000.
  2. Fixed SG&A: $80,000 (This amount already includes depreciation).
  3. Total Budgeted SG&A Expense: $75,000 + $80,000 = $155,000.

Question 13

At the beginning of the year, a company's stockholders' equity consisted of $500,000 in Common Stock and $800,000 in Retained Earnings. During the year, the company budgeted a net income of $150,000, planned to issue additional common stock for $100,000 in cash, and declared cash dividends of $40,000. What is the budgeted total stockholders' equity at the end of the year?

  1. $1,550,000
  2. $1,510,000 (correct answer)
  3. $1,410,000
  4. $910,000
Explanation: Total stockholders' equity is affected by changes in all equity accounts. The calculation is: Ending Equity = Beginning Equity + Stock Issuances + Net Income - Dividends.
  1. Beginning Equity: $500,000 Common Stock + $800,000 Retained Earnings = $1,300,000.
  2. Calculate Ending Equity: $1,300,000 (Beginning Equity) + $100,000 (Stock Issuance) + $150,000 (Net Income) - $40,000 (Dividends) = $1,510,000.

Question 14

A firm has a pre-existing loan of $200,000 with an annual interest rate of 6%. The company's cash budget indicates it must borrow an additional $80,000 at the beginning of Quarter 2. The new loan has an annual interest rate of 8%. Assuming interest is calculated and recorded quarterly, what is the budgeted interest expense on the income statement for Quarter 2?

  1. $3,000
  2. $1,600
  3. $22,400
  4. $4,600 (correct answer)
Explanation: Interest expense must be calculated for both loans for the quarter.
  1. Interest on pre-existing loan: The annual interest is $200,000 × 6% = $12,000. For one quarter, the expense is $12,000 / 4 = $3,000.
  2. Interest on new loan: The annual interest is $80,000 × 8% = $6,400. For one quarter (since it was borrowed at the beginning of the quarter), the expense is $6,400 / 4 = $1,600.
  3. Total Interest Expense for Quarter 2: $3,000 + $1,600 = $4,600.

Question 15

Catalyst Corp. is preparing its budgeted income statement. Budgeted sales for the year are 50,000 units at a price of $80 per unit. The variable cost of goods sold is $30 per unit, and fixed manufacturing overhead is $500,000 per year. Variable selling expense is $5 per unit sold, and fixed administrative expense is $250,000. The company produced 50,000 units during the year. What is the company's budgeted net operating income?

  1. $1,500,000
  2. $1,000,000 (correct answer)
  3. $1,750,000
  4. $2,000,000
Explanation: Net operating income is Sales minus Cost of Goods Sold and all operating (S&A) expenses.
  1. Sales Revenue: 50,000 units × $80/unit = $4,000,000.
  2. Cost of Goods Sold: This includes both variable and fixed manufacturing costs. Since production equals sales, there is no change in inventory. COGS = (50,000 units × $30/unit) + $500,000 fixed MOH = $1,500,000 + $500,000 = $2,000,000.
  3. Gross Margin: $4,000,000 - $2,000,000 = $2,000,000.
  4. S&A Expenses: (50,000 units × $5/unit) + $250,000 fixed admin = $250,000 + $250,000 = $500,000. Wait, let me re-read. Oh, fixed administrative expense is $250,000. And there's a variable selling expense. So Total S&A = (50,000 * $5) + $250,000 = $250,000 + $250,000 = $500,000. Let me check my calculation again. Okay, calculation is correct. My previous answer choice was wrong. Let's recalculate NOI. Gross Margin 2,000,000 - S&A 500,000 = 1,500,000. Ah, my previous NOI calculation was wrong. Let me re-evaluate the distractors. A is the new correct answer. B is Gross Margin. C is Contribution Margin (4M sales - 1.5M VCGS - 0.25M VS&A = 2.25M). D is Total Contribution Margin minus fixed admin (2.25M - 0.25M = 2M). Let me recalculate NOI. Sales 4M - COGS (1.5M var + 0.5M fix) - S&A (0.25M var + 0.25M fix) = 4M - 2M - 0.5M = 1.5M. Yes, A is correct.
Let's refine the explanation. Net operating income is Sales minus Cost of Goods Sold and all operating (S&A) expenses.
  1. Sales Revenue: 50,000 units × $80/unit = $4,000,000.
  2. Cost of Goods Sold: (50,000 units × $30/unit variable) + $500,000 fixed MOH = $1,500,000 + $500,000 = $2,000,000.
  3. Gross Margin: $4,000,000 - $2,000,000 = $2,000,000.
  4. Selling & Administrative Expenses: (50,000 units × $5/unit variable) + $250,000 fixed admin = $250,000 + $250,000 = $500,000.
  5. Net Operating Income: Gross Margin (2,000,000) - S&A Expenses (500,000) = $1,500,000.

Question 16

Trekker Inc. makes all sales on credit and collects 75% in the month of sale and 25% in the month following the sale. Budgeted sales for May are $300,000 and for June are $340,000. What are the budgeted cash collections for the month of June?

  1. $255,000
  2. $340,000
  3. $330,000 (correct answer)
  4. $75,000
Explanation: Total cash collections in a month come from sales made in the current month and sales made in the prior month.
  1. Collections from June sales: $340,000 × 75% = $255,000.
  2. Collections from May sales: $300,000 × 25% = $75,000.
  3. Total collections in June: $255,000 + $75,000 = $330,000.

Question 17

Zenith Corporation is developing its annual budget and needs to prepare budgeted financial statements. The company has compiled the following information for the upcoming year: Beginning cash $75,000, budgeted net income $180,000, depreciation expense $35,000, increase in accounts receivable $22,000, decrease in inventory $15,000, increase in accounts payable $18,000, decrease in accrued liabilities $8,000, capital expenditures $95,000, debt payments $40,000, and dividend payments $30,000.

Based on the indirect method, what amount should Zenith Corporation show as ending cash on its budgeted balance sheet?

  1. $128,000 (correct answer)
  2. $143,000
  3. $136,000
  4. $151,000
Explanation: Using the indirect method to calculate cash flow from operations: Net income $180,000 + Depreciation $35,000 - Increase in A/R $22,000 + Decrease in inventory $15,000 + Increase in A/P $18,000 - Decrease in accrued liabilities $8,000 = $218,000 cash from operations. Cash flow from investing: Capital expenditures $(95,000). Cash flow from financing: Debt payments (40,000)+Dividendpayments(40,000) + Dividend payments (30,000) = (70,000).Netchangeincash=$218,000−$95,000−$70,000=$53,000.Endingcash=$75,000+$53,000=$128,000.Thecalculationshows:Operatingcashflow$218,000,investingcashflow$(95,000),financingcashflow(70,000). Net change in cash = $218,000 - $95,000 - $70,000 = $53,000. Ending cash = $75,000 + $53,000 = $128,000. The calculation shows: Operating cash flow $218,000, investing cash flow $(95,000), financing cash flow (70,000), for a net increase of $53,000, resulting in ending cash of $128,000.
