1) Computation of Budgeted Sales in Units for the Next Month:

Budgeted Sales = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory

= 12,000 + 40,000 - 15,000

= 37,000 Units

So, the correct option is 4th "37,000 units". 

 

2) Computation of Budgeted peso sales in initial year of operations:

Budgeted Sales in Units = 50000 * 80% = 40000

Budgeted Peso Sales in initial year of operations = 40000 * 20 = P 800,000

So, The correct answer is 1st "P800,000".

 

3) Computation of Direct Labor Cost: 

November production = 135,000 + (0.10 * 180,000) - 14,000 = 139,000 units

Direct labor hours = 0.50 hours per unit * 139,000 = 69,500 hours

Direct labor cost = $17 * 69,500 = P1,181,500

So, the correct option is 3rd "P1,181,500".

 

4) Computation of Number of Boxes Connor expect to purchase in January:

Production Budget

Month

Jan

Feb

March

Sales 40000 37000 34000
Estimated Ending Inventory (35% of Next Month's Sales) 12950 11900  
Beginning Inventory 14000 12950  
Production Required 38950 35950  

Purchase Budget- Boxes

 

Jan

Feb

Production Unit (a) 38950 35950
Box per Unit (b) 3 3
Number of Boxes Required (a*b) 116850 107850
Estimated Ending Inventory 21570  
Beginning Inventory 24000  
Purchase Required ( boxes) 114420  

So, the correct option is 1st "114,420".

 

5) Computation of Net Float:

Disbursement Float = Average check written * Average number of days for checks to clear

 = 15000* 5

 = 75000

Collection Float =Average check received *Average number of days for checks to clear

 = -17000* 3

 = -51000

Net Float = Disbursement Float + Collection Float

= 75000+ (-51000)

= 75000-51000

= 24,000

So, the correct option is 5th "P24,000".

 

6) Computation of Net Benefit to the Company:

Total Annual Cost of Operating Lock Box System:

A) Fixed Fee

B) Variable Fee (P0.50 per Payment)(50 Payments*365 Days*P0.5)

C) Total Annual Cost of Operating Lock Box System = A + B

Total Annual Cost of Operating Lock Box System = P50,000 + P9,125 = $59,125

D) Interest Saved on account of early receipt of funds = P120,000[(P20,000*50 Payments*365days) * 6% * 2/365days]

E) Net Profit/Loss on account of Operating Lock Box System = D - C

Net Profit/Loss on account of Operating Lock Box System = P120,000 - P59,125

Net Profit/Loss on account of Operating Lock Box System = $60,875

So, the correct option is 5th "P60,875".

 

7) Computation of Cash Receipts from Sales in March:

Calculations Month January February March
A Sales 30000 33000 38000
B = A x 20% Cash Sales 6000 6600 7600
C = A of previous month x 40% Collection in next month   12000 13200
D = A two months back x 40% Collection in 2nd month     12000
E = B+C+D of March Collection of March     32800

So, collection for the month of March is P32,800. The correct option is 5th "P32,800".

 

8) Computation of Optimal Cash Balance of the company:

Optimal Cash Balance = SQRT of ((2*P8*P432000)/5) 

= SQRT of (6912000/5)

= SQRT of 1382400

Optimal Cash Balance = 1,175.75 or P1,175.76

So, the correct option is 4th "P1,175.76".

 

9) Computation of Average A/R Outstanding:

 Average A/R Outstanding = Days Sales Outstanding * (Credit Sales/365 Days)

= 35 * (P2,027,773/365)

= 35 * P5,555.54

 Average A/R Outstanding = P194,444

So, the correct option is 3rd "P194,444". 

 

10) Computation of Total Ordering Costs per Year and Total Carrying Costs per Year:

Economic Order Quantity

EOQ = [(2 * Ordering cost per order * Units demand) / Carrying cost] ^ 1/2

= [(2 * P12.50 * 40,000) / P16.00] ^ 1/2

= [(P1,000,000 / P16.00] ^ 1/2

= 62,500 ^ 1/2

= 250 units

Total ordering cost per year

Total ordering cost = Number of orders * Cost per order

= (40,000 / 250) * P12.50

= 160 * P12.50

= P2,000

Total carrying cost per year

Total carrying cost = (EOQ / 2) * Carrying cost per unit

= (250/2) * P16.00

= 125 * P16.00

= P2,000

So, the correct option is 3rd "P2,000 ; P2,000".

 

11) Computation of Reorder Point:

Reorder Point = Lead Time Quantity 

Annual usage = 12600 units

Working days = 360 days

Daily usage = 12600/360 = 35 units

Lead time usage = 35*20 = 700 units

So, the correct option is 4th "700 units".

 

 

 

12) Computation of BMC Co.'s cash conversion cycle:
Annual Sales = RM 12000000, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = 80 % of Annual Sales = 0.8 * 12000000 = RM 9600000

Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) = [365 / (Net Sales / Average Accounts Receivable)] = [365 / (12000000 / 1250000)] = 38.0208 days ~ 38 days

Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) = [365 / (COGS / Average Inventory Balance)] = [365 / (9600000 / 1750000)] = 66.536 days ~ 67 days

Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) = [365 / (COGS / Average Accounts Payable)] = [365 / (9600000 / 800000)] = 30.4167 days ~ 31 days

Cash Conversion Cycle = DSO + DIO - DPO = 38 + 67 - 31 = 74 days

So, the correct option is 4th "72.28 days". The difference is due to rounding off figures.

 

13) Computation of Effective annual cost of not taking discount:

Effective annual cost of not taking discount = Discount percent/(100% - Discount percent ) × (365 days/
(Total pay period - Discount period))
= (3%/ (100% - 3% )) × (365 days/(67 days - 15 days))

= 21.71%

So, the correct option is 1st "21.71%".

 

14) Effective annual cost of not taking the discount is calculated as:

=(1+Discount %/(1-Discount%))^(365/(Actual Payment Days-Discount Days))-1

=(1+3%/97%)^(365/(50-15))-1

=37.39%

So, the correct option is 1st "37.39%".

 

15) Computation of "free" trade credit does GFB Co. receive during the year:

Daily purchases=$730,000/365

=P2,000

 

Free trade credit=$2000*15

=P30,000
