Additional Information:
Sales for 2014 are expected to be $200,000.
Accounts Receivable turnover is expected to be 12 times - 30 days of sales in accounts receivable out of a 360 day year (based upon sales and ending 2014 accounts receivable). This would be used to get ending accounts receivable on the 2014 balance sheet - day's sales in accounts receivable is ending accounts receivable divided by average sales (sales for 2014 divided by 360 days). We can "back into" ending accounts receivables once we have estimated sales. Note that the turnover ratio changes so the turnover ratio at the end of 2014 may have been different than that expected at the end of 2013.
Gross Margin ratio is expected to be 40 percent.
Inventory Turnover is expected to be 12 times - 30 days of cost of sales in ending inventory out of a 360 day year (based upon cost of goods sold and ending 2014 inventory). This would be used to get inventory on the 2014 balance sheet. See accounts receivable above for similar computations.
The cost of ending inventory is expected to be paid next month - ending accounts payable will be same as ending inventory. Or, to state in another way, accounts payable turnover is same as the inventory turnover. The assumption is that only inventory purchases flow through accounts payable - the assumption actually used by most manufacturing/merchandising companies when prepared the statement of cash flows.
Equipment was purchased on 1/1/14 for $20,000. Equipment has a five year life, no salvage value, and is depreciated using the straight-line method. The old equipment is being depreciated on the same basis.
Salaries are expected to be $2,000 per month. It is expected that one-half month will be owed on 12/31/14 because of when payday falls.
$30,000 in cash was borrowed on 12/31/14 by issuing a Note Payable.
Insurance costing $18,000 was purchased on 6/1/14 (the same time in which the policy purchased in 2013 expired - the new policy was for 12 months).
The tax rate is 30 percent. Income taxes for the current year are payable during the first two months of the next year.
Dividends of $2,000 were paid during 2014.
Instructions
Prepare an Income Statement. After you are completed, a corrected Income Statement should be completed by your spreadsheet automatically with only a change in any of the assumptions that will be within spreadsheet one.
Prepare a Statement of Retained Earnings. This statement should automatically change if any of the assumptions are changed within spreadsheet one.
Prepare a Balance Sheet without cash yet known. Have the Balance Sheet for 12/31/13 (given in template) and 12/31/14 on the same schedule so that the differences can be easily computed for instruction 4. When you are finished, a corrected Balance Sheet for 2014 should automatically be computed by your spreadsheet with a change in any of the assumptions within spreadsheet one.
Prepare a Statement of Cash Flows on the direct method (do not include the indirect method of calculating operating cash flows). The Statement of Cash Flows should automatically change when any assumption is changed. The ending cash as shown on the statement of cash flows will then flow to the Balance Sheet.
On spreadsheet A have only the following:
Assumptions
Sales - $200,000
Equipment Purchases - $20,000
Salaries per Month - $2,000
Twelve month insurance policy purchased - $18,000
Dividends paid - $2,000
Borrowings - $30,000
Have the Income Statement and Retained Earnings Statement on spreadsheet B. Use spreadsheet C for the comparative Balance Sheet and Spreadsheet D for the Statement of Cash Flows.
When you believe your spreadsheets from instructions 1 through 4 are complete, then save that spreadsheet within a file. Reopen that file and make the following changes:
On the spreadsheet A for the assumptions change sales to $210,000, equipment purchases to 30,000, insurance purchased to $24,000, borrowings to $40,000, and dividends to $3,000. You should see all the financial statements change automatically to a new balanced balance sheet. If not, then you did not use a formula where needed within at least one cell. When the changes are complete, use the "save as" function and save in a new file with a different name.
