Bombs Away Video Games sells the popular Strafe and Capture video game. It sells for $5 per unit and costs $2 per unit to produce. A level production policy is followed. Each month's production is equal to annual sales (in units) divided by 12. Of each month's sales, 20 percent are for cash and 80 percent are on account. All accounts receivable are collected in the month after the sale is made.

a. Construct a monthly production and inventory schedule in units. Beginning inventory in January is 30,000 units.

b. Prepare a monthly schedule of cash receipts. Sales in December before the planning year are $100,000.

c. Prepare a cash payments schedule for January through December. The production costs of $2 per unit are paid for in the month in which they occur. Other cash payments, besides those for production costs, are $50,000 per month.

d. Prepare a monthly cash budget for January through December using the cash receipts schedule from part b and the cash payments schedule from part c. The beginning cash balance is $5,000, which is also the minimum desired. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

I have attached the excel file which shows the entire calculation of all the parts of your question. Majority of the numbers are linked so that its easy for you to understand. Key points before you look into file.

1) Number of units have derived by dividing revenue over sales price per unit which is $5

2) Production units are calculated by dividing total sales unit by 12 (as mentioned in the question)

3)Keep in mind that 80% of revenue will be received next month of the sales therefore also include in January sales receipt the 80% revenue of previous month

Explanation:

please find the answer below

Explanation:

(a)Annual sales = $816, 000

Selling price = $5

Hence, number of units to be sold in a year = $816, 000 / $5

= 163, 200

Monthly production = 163, 200 / 12

= 13, 600 units
