MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING

Group Assignment  Semester 2, 2021

Case

Matilda Framers Ltd is a domestic manufacturer of professional wedding picture frames based on Western Australia.   There two product lines of Matilda are designate S (small frames: 12 x18 cm) and L (large frames: 20 x 25 cm).  The primary raw materials are flexit metal strips and 23 cm by 60 cm glass sheets. Each S frame requires a 2/3 metre metal strip; an L frame requires a 1 metre strip.  Allowing for normal breakage and scrap glass, Matilda Framers can get either four S frames or two L frames out of a glass sheet.   Other raw materials, such as cardboard backing, are insignificant in cost and are treated as indirect materials.

Matilda Framers is preparing the documentation to support their finance application. As Head of Finance (Budgets) Jackson is required to prepare a Budgeted Balance Sheet for the period ending 31st December 2021. In order to allow the board to understand and explain the balance sheet predictions Jackson is required to also provide all the supporting schedules that were needed to compile the budgeted balance sheet.

Jackson’s  study  of  the  organisations  accounting  system  has  revealed  the  following information.

1.    Sales in the 4th  quarter of 2020 are expected to be 50,000 S frames and 40,000 L frames.   The sales manager predicts that, over the next two years, sales in each product line will grow by 5,000 units each quarter over the previous quarter.  For example, S frame sales in the 1st quarter of 2021 are expected to be 55,000 units.

2.    The sales history of Matilda Framers indicates that 60 per cent of all sales are on credit, with the remainder the sales in cash.  The firm's collection experience shows that 80 per cent of the credit sales collected during the quarter in which the sale is made, while the remaining 20 per cent is collected in the following quarter. (For simplicity, assume the firm is able to collect 100 per cent of its accounts receivable.)

3.    The S frame sells for $10, and the L frame sells for $15.  These prices are expected to hold constant throughout 2021.

4.    The production manager attempts to end each quarter with enough finished goods inventory in each product line to cover 20 per cent of the following quarter's sales. In addition, an attempt is made to end each quarter with 20 per cent of the glass sheets needed for the following quarter's production.   Since metal strips are purchased locally, Matilda Framers can purchase them on a just-in-time basis; inventory is negligible.

5.    All of Matilda Framers’ direct material purchases are made on account, and 80 per cent of each quarter's purchases are paid in cash during the same quarter as the purchase.  The other 20 per cent is paid in the next quarter.

6.    Indirect materials are purchased as needed and paid for in cash.  Work in process inventory is negligible.

7.    Projected manufacturing costs for each product in 2021 are as follows:

Direct material

Metal strips:

S: 2/3 metre @ $3 per metre

L: 1 metre @ $3 per metre

Glass sheets:

S: 1/4 sheet @ $8 per sheet

L: 1/2 sheet @ $8 per sheet

All these costs will be paid in cash during the quarter incurred except for the depreciation charges.

9.      Matilda Framers’ quarterly selling and administrative expenses are $100,000 paid in cash.

10.    Jackson anticipates that dividends of $50,000 will be declared and paid in cash each quarter.

11.    Matilda Framers’ management has made a decision to purchase an industrial robot capable of performing various steps in the manufacturing process. The equipment will be purchased for $1,000,000 on 2nd January, 2021. It will take most of the year to train personnel and reorganise the production process in order to gain the full benefits of the new equipment.  The purchase will be financed with a one year $1,000,000 bank loan with a 10% per annum interest rate.  Four equal instalment payments will be made on the last day of each quarter to pay off the loan.  Interest payments will be quarterly as well.
