Chapter 5 – Planning and Forecasting
5-39, continued
Affected budget components
Materials purchases budget, ending inventory & COGS
budget, payments for materials budget, cash budget, pro-
forma financial statements
Income increases by $4,613 ($80,395 – $75,782), primarily
driven by a decrease in COGS. Interest expense increases
a slight bit, as does income tax expense.
Total assets don’t change by much. Finished goods
inventory decreases because of reduced materials cost, but
raw materials inventory increases since more materials
needs to be held. $2,000 in additional short-term borrowing
is required in April. But with the lower cash disbursements
in May and June, the ending note payable balance is $4,000
lower.
This alternative could be a good idea if Klandon can be
convinced that the lower quality rocks won’t result in a lower
quality finished product. It also requires a higher investment
in inventory.
