November 16, 2014 at 4:44 pm #210479SECOND QUESTION :
wages are paid 75 % in the month of production and 25% in the following months . what is the figure be included in the cash budget for may in respect of wages |?November 16, 2014 at 5:21 pm #210496You know the production in each month, and so you can calculate the raw materials needed for production (by multiplying by 3kg).
You know the opening and closing inventories each month, and so you can calculate the purchases need each month in kg.
When you know the purchases, you can calculate the cost by multiplying by $2 per kg.
Since purchases are paid in the month following, then for the June payment you need the May purchases figure.
(and think of my effort in typing answers to over 100 questions a day!!) π
November 16, 2014 at 5:22 pm #210497Second question:
Same approach as the first, except that obviously inventories are not relevant.
The payment in June will be 75% of the about cost of June plus 25% of the labour cost of May.
November 16, 2014 at 5:47 pm #210502can i know the opening and closing inventory in numericals because in answer its given closing inventory is 4100 but how it can be 4100 can u explain it ?
November 16, 2014 at 5:59 pm #210505in second question :
what you meant by the following months ? following month means it should be june ryt ? but in answer its given like 75% OF MAY WAGE COST AND 25% OF APRIL WAGE COST
HOW DID THE GOT THAT ?November 17, 2014 at 8:55 am #210615You are trying to calculate the purchases in May. The question actually tells you the closing inventory for May!! (It is obviously the opening inventory for June).
November 17, 2014 at 8:56 am #210617Sorry I misread the question.
If you read my reply carefully you will see that I wrote down what the payment in June was. Now I see that it wanted the payment in May.
