Assessment 2 Part B – Budgeting Scenario 3:
Case Study
Brian Hunt runs a hardware store on the North Coast, called Hunt Hardware. He has been in business for only 6 months and is very confused about the financial side of the business, but realises it is an important part of his business. He has asked you to prepare his budget.
In preparation for working out his Cash Budget he provides the following information:
• 80% of credit sales are paid for in the month they are sold, with the remainder paid in the following month.
• All his credit purchases come from a single distributor who offers a 5% discount if he pays within 21 days from the invoice date, and Brian always makes the payment within the discount window, but due to invoice dates, 30% of the credit purchases are not paid for until the month after the purchase.
Current Months JAN $ FEB $ MARCH $
Cash Sales $ 12,000.00 $ 11,500.00 $ 12,500.00
Credit Sales $ 10,000.00 $ 11,000.00 $ 12,000.00
Cash Purchases $ 600.00 $ 500.00 $ 1,000.00
Credit Purchases $ 6,000.00 $ 7,000.00 $ 8,000.00
Expenses $ 7,900.00 $ 6,000.00 $ 8,500.00
Further Information:
f On January 1, Brian will owe $1900 for purchases and be owed $1,000 from credit customers and will have a bank balance of $4,300
f Expenses include wages (gross) of $2,000 per month, depreciation of $400 per month and insurance of $6000 per year
f The only deduction from gross wages is PAYG tax calculated at 20% of gross wages. The PAYG is paid to the ATO by 18th of the following month of the deduction. The employee was on holidays in December so there was no outstanding PAYG to be paid in January.
f Insurance is paid yearly in March ? All other expenses are paid for in the month stated in the budget ? Brian plans to buy a new front counter in January, and estimates the cost will be $10,000
f Brian will withdraw $3,000 from the business monthly , $2,900 in cash and the rest in goods ? Ignore GST implications for the purpose of this case study.
Brian has employed you to help him manage his budgets and financial plans. He requires you to prepare a Cash Budget for Hunt Hardware and then identify the financial risks that may exist for the business.
The organisational protocols for reporting on budget and expenditure are that daily reporting of sales and payments be recorded, and then an overview is produced at the end of the week. Finance needs to report this information to the owner weekly. Consumables, assets, stock and wastage are only monitored every 4 months.
1. Prepare a report including the budgets and financial risks involved with the business. You will need to suggest some strategies that will protect the business against any risks identified and any contingencies that should be in place to maintain the performance of the business to the set budgets.
(15 marks)
2. List the required financial roles that you will allocate to Brian regarding the management of finances. You need to list the support that you can recommend to Brian to ensure that he can competently perform his required roles associated with the management of finances. (10 marks)
3. Analyse the data to determine the effectiveness of the current financial management processes and identify and recommend any improvements.
