Prepare a schedule of expected cash collections

Question

Crydon, Inc., manufactures an advanced swim fin for scuba divers. Management is now preparing detailed budgets for the third quarter, July through September, and has assembled the following information to assist in preparing the budget:

a.	The Marketing Department has estimated sales as follows for the remainder of the year (in pairs of swim fins):

The selling price of the swim fins is $16 per pair.

July	6,700	October	4,700
August	7,700	November	3,700
September	5,700	December	3,700

b.	All sales are on account. Based on past experience, sales are expected to be collected in the following pattern:

42%	in the month of sale
48%	in the month following sale
10%	uncollectible

The beginning accounts receivable balance (excluding uncollectible amounts) on July 1 will be $134,000.

c.	The company maintains finished goods inventories equal to 11% of the following month's sales. The inventory of finished goods on July 1 will be 737 pairs.

d.

Each pair of swim fins requires 3 pounds of geico compound. To prevent shortages, the company would like the inventory of geico compound on hand at the end of each month to be equal to 20% of the following month's production needs. The inventory of geico compound on hand on July 1 will be 4,086 pounds.

e.	Geico compound costs $3.00 per pound. Crydon pays for 56% of its purchases in the month of purchase; the remainder is paid for in the following month. The accounts payable balance for geico compound purchases will be $11,300 on July 1.
