| Ch. 10 Case Study |
| Background |
| You are an accountant for Alphabet Industries. The controller has asked you to complete the cash budget and purchases budget and then perform cost volume profit analysis. |
| Instructions |
| 1. Complete the cash budget |
| | On row 13 create a formula that sums the cash receipts for each quarter |
| | On row 15, create a formula that calculates the cash available for each quarter using the beginning cash balance and the total cash receipts |
| | On row 21, create a formula that sums the cash disbursements for each quarter |
| | On row 23, create a formula that calculates the ending cash balance for each quarter using the cash available and the total cash disbursements |
| | On row 6, create a formula for the beginning cash balances for quarters 2-4; hint beginning cash balance for one quarter is the ending cash balance for the previous quarter |
| | Change the text in row 3 to the following: For Quarters Ending in 2027 |
| | Merge and center each of the three header row of the table across columns A-D |
| 2. Complete the purchases budget |
| | On row 7, create a formula to calculate the total inventory required |
| | On row 9, create a formula to calculate the required merchandise purchases |
| | Apply girdlines to the table and column headings |
| 3. Complete CVP analysis |
| | In cell D6, enter a formula that will take the units sold (B13) and multiple them by the sales revenue per unit (F6) to determine the total sales revenue |
| | In cell D7, enter a formula that will take the units sold (B13) and multiple them by the variable cost per unit (F6) to determine the total variable costs |
| | On row 8, create a formula to calculate contribution margin by taking sales minus variable costs |
| | In cell F9, entere a formula to determine the fixed costs per unit by taking the total fixed costs (D9) and dividing it by the units sold (B13) |
| | On row 10, create a formula to calculate net income by taking the contribution margin minus the fixed costs |
| | In cell D10, use goal seek function to determine the breakeven units sold |
| | | The "to value" should be zero |
| | | The "changing cell" box should be equal to cell B13 |
| | Create a copy of the CVP Analysis #1 worksheet on a new worksheet labeled CVP Analysis #2 |
| | In cell D10, use goal seek function |
| | | The "to value" should be 52000 |
| | | The "changing cell" box should be equal to cell B13 |
| | Create a copy of the CVP Analysis #2 worksheet on a new worksheet labeled CVP Analysis #3 |
| | In cell D10, use the solver function |
| | | The set objective box should be equal to D10 |
| | | The "by changing variable cells" box should be equal to cell F6, F7, & D9 |
| | | Setup the following constraints: |
| | | | D9>=121000 |
| | | | F6<=125 |
| | | | F7>=95 |
| | | | F8<=F6*23% |
