We really need to get this new material-handling equipment in operation just after the new-year begins. I hope we can finance it largely with cash and marketable securities, but if necessary we can get a short-term loan down at MetroBank. This statement by Beth Davies-Lowry, president of Intercoastal is a small, Company, concluded a meeting she had called with the firm s top management. Intercoastal is a small, rapidly growing wholesaler of consumer electronics products. The firm s main product lines are small kitchen appliances and power tools. Marcia Wilcox, Intercoastal s General Manager of Marketing, has recently completed a sales forcast. She believes the company s sales during the first quarter of 20×1 will increase by 10 percent each month over the previous month s sales. Then Wilcox expects sales to remain constant for several months. Intercoastal s projected balance sheet as of December 31, 20×0, is as follows:
CASH $35,000
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE 270,000
MARKETABLE SECURITIES 15,000
INVENTORY 154,000
BLDG S AND EQUIPMENT 626,000
TOTAL ASSETS $1,100,000
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE $176,000
BOND INTEREST PAYABLE 12,500
PROPERTY TAX PAYABLE 3,600

RETAINED EARNINGS 107,500

Jack Hanson, the assistant controller, is now preparing a monthly budget for the first quarter of 20×1. In the process, the following information has been accumulated:
1. Projected sales for December of 20×0 are $400,000. Credit sales typically are 75 percent of the total sales. Intercoastal s credit experience indicates that 10% of the credit sales are collected during the month of sale, and the remainder collected during the following month.
2. Intercoastal s cost of goods sold generally runs at 70% of sales. Inventory is purchased on account and 40% of each month s purchases are paid during the month of purchase. The remainder is paid during the following month. In order to have adequate stocks of inventory on hand, the firm attempts to have inventory at the end of each month equal to half of the next month s projected cost of goods sold.
3. Hanson has estimated the Intercoastal s other monthly expenses will be as follows:
SALES SALARIES $21,000
ADVERTISING/PROMOTOIONS 16,000
ADMINISTRATIVE SALARIES 21,000
DEPRECIATION 25,000
INTEREST ON BONDS 2,500
PROPERTY TAXES 900
In addition, sales commission runs at 1% of sales.
4. Intercoastal s president, Davies-Lowry, has indicated that the firm should invest $125,000 in an automated inventory-handling system to control the movement of inventory in the firms warehouse just after the new year begins. These equipment purchases will be financed primarily from the firm s cash and marketable securities. However, Davies-Lawry believes that Intercoastal needs to keep a minimum cash balance of $25,000. If necessary, the remainder of the equipment purchases will be financed using short term credit from a local bank. The minimum period for such a loan is 3 months. Hanson believes short term interest rates will be 10% per year at the time of the equipment purchases. If a loan is necessary, Davies-Lowry has decided it should be paid off by the end of the first quarter if possible.
5. Intercoastal s board of directors has indicated an intention to declare and pay dividends of $50,000 on the last day of each quarter.
6. The interest on any short term borrowing will be paid when the loan is repaid. Interest on Intercoastals bonds is paid semiannually on January 31, and July 31 for the preceding 6 month period.
7. Property taxes are paid semiannully on February 28 and August 31 for the preceding 6 month period.
