On December 1, 2011, the Itami Wholesale Co. is attempting to project cash receipts and disbursements through January 31, 2012. On this latter date, a note will be payable in the amount of $100,000. This amount was borrowed in September to carry the company through the seasonal peak in November and December.
Selected general ledger balances on December 1 are as follows:
Cash $ 88,000
Inventory 65,200
Accounts payable 136,000
Sales terms call for a 3% discount if payment is made within the first 10 days of the month after sale, with the balance due by the end of the month after sale. Experience has shown that 50% of the billings will be collected within the discount period, 30% by the end of the month after purchase, and 14% in the following month. The remaining 6% will be uncollectible. There are no cash sales. The average selling price of the company’s products is $100 per unit. Actual and projected sales are as follows:
October actual $ 280,000
November actual 320,000
December estimated 330,000
January estimated 250,000
February estimated 240,000
Total estimated for year ending June 30, 2012 $2,400,000
All purchases are payable within 15 days. Approximately 60% of the purchases in a month are paid that month, and the rest the following month. The average unit purchase cost is $80. Target ending inventories are 500 units plus 10% of the next month’s unit sales. Total budgeted marketing, distribution, and customer-service costs for the year are $600,000. Of this amount, $120,000 are considered fixed (and include depreciation of $30,000). The remainder varies with sales. Both fixed and variable marketing, distribution, and customer-service costs are paid as incurred.
Required:
Prepare a cash budget for December 2011 and January 2012. Supply supporting schedules for collections of receivables; payments for merchandise; and marketing, distribution, and customer-service costs.

Ivanhoe Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Ivanhoe also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Ivanhoe enters into the following contract on July 1, 2020, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,370 and chooses Ivanhoe to do the installation. Ivanhoe charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $590. The customer pays Ivanhoe $1,920 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,120) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2020, Ivanhoe completes installation on October 15, 2020, and the customer pays the balance due. Prepare the journal entries for Geraths in 2014.
Refer to the revenue arrangement: Repeat the requirements, assuming (a) Geraths estimates the standalone value of the installation based on an estimated cost of $400 plus a margin of 20% on cost, and (b) given uncertainty of finding skilled labor, Geraths is unable to develop a reliable estimate for the fair value of the installation.

Ulko produces tomato paste at five different plants. The tomato paste is then shipped to one of three warehouses, where it is stored until it is shipped to one of the company’s four customers. The shell gives the plant capacities, the cost per ton of producing tomato paste at each plant and shipping it to each warehouse, the cost of shipping a ton of paste from each warehouse to each customer, customer demand, and the annual fixed cost of operating each plant and warehouse. Ulko’s management must decide which plants and warehouses to open, how to route paste from plants to warehouses and from warehouses to customers. All customer demand must be met. A given customer’s demand can be met from more than one warehouse, and a given plant can ship to more than one warehouse. Warehouses are trans-shipment points, anything shipped into a warehouse must be shipped out. Formulate a linear model and find the minimum cost solution for meeting customer demand.

You are considering two different methods for constructing a new warehouse site. The first method would use prefabricated building segments, would have an initial cost of $6.5 million, would have annual maintenance costs of $150,000, and would last for 25 years. The second alternative would employ a new carbon-fibre panel technology, would have an initial cost of $8.2 million, would have maintenance costs of $650,000 every ten years, and is expected to last 40 years. Both buildings would be in CCA Class 1 (at a rate of 4 percent) and it is expected that each would have a salvage value equivalent to 25 percent of its construction cost at the end of its useful life. The discount rate the firm uses in evaluating projects is 11 percent. The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the annual cost for each option? (Enter the answers in dollars. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answers to 2 decimal places. Negative answers should be indicated by a minus sign.)
