QUESTION
Hilda Ltd manufactures and sells two products: ThingOne and ThingTwo. With the recent downturn in the market, Hilda experienced a decline in financial performance. The management team is in the process of preparing the 2018 budget and put together the following budgeted information.
Annual sales are expected to be 5,000 units. Budgeted sales for the month of October and November 2018 are provided below (Table 1). All sales are on credit. Hilda Ltd expects to collect 40 percent of accounts receivable in the month of sale, 59% are collected the following month and 1% are never collected and are written off as bad debts. Hilda Ltd recorded sale revenue of $74,100 for ThingOne and $105,000 for ThingTwo during the month of September 2018.
Table 1: Expected Sales in Units and Dollars for October and November 2018
Thing One Thi ngTwo
Units Price Units Price
October 250 $280 160 $635
November 260 $270 200 $650
The annual production is expected to be 5,100 units. Table 2 identifies the material requirements per unit of output and material costs per kg. These costs are not expected to change during the budgeted period.

ThingOne ThingTwo
Material X $5.50 2.5 kg 5 kg
Material Y $13.00 3 kg 4 kg
Material Z $7.50 1.5 kg 3 kg
Beginning inventories of the respective direct materials are shown in Table 3. It is Hilda’s policy to maintain an ending inventory equal to 20 percent of the current month’s production.
Table 3: Direct Materials Inventory – as at October 1, 2018
ThingOne (kgs) Cost ThingTwo (kgs) Cost
Material X 125 $625 180 $900
Material Y 300 $3,750 350 $4,935
Material Z 220 $1,584 215 $2,580
All purchases of materials are on account. Hilda’s suppliers require that 70 percent of accounts payable be paid in the month of purchase. The remaining 30 percent is paid in the following month. September month total direct material purchases amounted to $31,800.
Hilda uses a FIFO cost flow assumption for both direct materials and finished goods inventory. Finished goods ending inventory policy is 25% of the current month’s sales. The following information is provided on the current ending inventory of finished goods as at 30 September 2018.

Hilda uses an activity-based costing system and classifies manufacturing overhead into three activity pools: setup (based on set-up time); processing (based on machine hour) and inspection (based on inspection time). Cost driver rates for these activities are $120 per setup hour, $8 per machine hour and $21 per inspection hour, respectively. Other information as follows:
Table 6: Cost Driver information
ThingOne ThingTwo
Number of units per batch 15 units 12 units
Machine hour per unit 4 hours 6 hours
Set-up time per batch 1.5 hours 2 hours
Inspection time per batch 5 hours 6 hours
Non-manufacturing fixed costs for September equal $52,000, of which 50 percent are office salaries and distribution, and the balance being depreciation for office equipment. All manufacturing equipment have been fully depreciated since September 2018. Office salaries and distribution cost are expected to increase 8 percent in October. Sales commission for October is estimated to be 2 percent of sales revenue. Labour, other manufacturing costs and non-manufacturing costs are paid in cash in the month incurred. Hilda currently has a $50,000 loan at an annual interest rate of 18%. The interest is paid at the end of each month. Seuss desires a $30,000 cash cushion before interest payment. Funds are assumed to be borrowed, in increments of $1,000. If Hilda has more than $80,000 cash at the end of October it will pay back the loan. Hilda Ltd has a cash balance of $35,900 at the end of September.
