D.   The collection pattern for accounts receivable is as follows: 70 percent in the month of sale, 20 percent in the first month after the sale, and 10 percent in the second month after the sale. McClosky does not provide cash discounts and they are not expecting any bad debts.
E.   Each gallon of dye has the following standard quantities and costs for direct material and direct labor:
1.4 gallons of direct material (some evaporation takes place during processing) X $.90 per gallon $ 1.26
0.5 direct labor X $ 8 per hour 4.00

F.   Variable overhead is applied to the product on a machine-hour basis. Processing one gallon of dye takes five hours of machine time. The variable overhead is $0.08 per machine hour. Variable overhead consists of utility costs. Total annual fixed overhead is $150,000; it is applied at $ 1 per gallon based on expected annual capacity of 150,000 gallons. Fixed overhead per year is made up of the following costs:
Salaries $ 110,000
Utilities 15,000
Insurance 1,800
Depreciation-factory 23,200

Fixed overhead is incurred evenly throughout the year.

Raw Material Inventory at the beginning of the year consists of 1,100 gallons of direct material at a standard cost of $.90 per gallon. There are 500 gallons of dye in Finished Goods Inventory at the beginning of the year carried at a standard cost of $6.28 per gallon; direct material, $.98, direct labor, $4.00; variable overhead $ .30; fixed overhead , $1,00

K.   The note payable has a 12 percent interest rate; interest is paid at the end of each month. The principle of the note is repaid as cash is available to do so.
L.   The McClosky management team wishes to maintain a minimum cash balance of $5,500. Investments and borrowing are made in $100 amounts. (Even $100 amounts). Interest on any borrowings are expected to be 12 percent per year, and investments will earn 4 percent per year.
M.   The ending finished goods inventory should include 5 percent of next month’s sales. This will not be true at the beginning of 20X9 due to a miscalculation in sales for the month of December. The ending inventory of raw materials should be 5 percent of next month’s needs.
