## 2. **Merchandise Purchases Budget**

**Desired Ending Inventory = 20% of Next Month’s Sales × Cost per Unit ($30)**

### Calculate Units to Purchase

#### a. **Calculate Desired Ending Inventory (in units):**

|               | Jan   | Feb   | Mar   | Apr   |
|---------------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
| Next Month's Budgeted Sales | 9,000 | 11,000 | 11,000 | -     |
| Desired Ending Inventory (20%) | 1,800 | 2,200 | 2,200 |       |

#### b. **Budgeted Purchases Calculation:**

Formula:  
Purchases (units) = Budgeted Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory

| Month     | Budgeted Sales | Desired Ending Inv | Beginning Inv | Purchases (units) |
|-----------|----------------|-------------------|---------------|-------------------|
| January   | 7,500          | 1,800             | 5,250         | 4,050             |
| February  | 9,000          | 2,200             | 1,800         | 9,400             |
| March     | 11,000         | 2,200             | 2,200         | 11,000            |

#### c. **Budgeted Purchases in Dollars:**

Cost per unit = $30

| Month     | Purchases (units) | Cost per Unit | Purchases ($) |
|-----------|-------------------|---------------|---------------|
| January   | 4,050             | $30           | $121,500      |
| February  | 9,400             | $30           | $282,000      |

Certainly! Here is the complete budgeted balance sheet as of March 31, based on all the calculations and information provided:

# Dimsdale Sports Company  
**Budgeted Balance Sheet as of March 31**

### **Assets**

**Current Assets:**  
- **Cash:** $272,130  
- **Accounts Receivable:**  
  - Total sales for March: $627,000  
  - Cash collected in March from March sales: $522,662  
  - Remaining receivables (March sales not yet collected): $627,000 – $522,662 = **$104,338**  
- **Inventory:**  
  - Units on hand: 2,200 units (desired ending inventory)  
  - Inventory value: 2,200 units × $30 = **$66,000**

**Total Current Assets:**  
$$
\$272,130 + \$104,338 + \$66,000 = \boxed{\$442,468}
$$

---

**Noncurrent Assets:**  
- **Equipment:**  
  - Beginning equipment: $636,000  
  - Add purchases: $36,000 (Jan) + $93,600 (Feb) + $21,600 (Mar) = $151,200  
  - Total equipment cost: $\$636,000 + \$151,200 = \$787,200$

- **Less: Accumulated Depreciation:**  
  - Beginning: $79,500  
  - Plus depreciation expense for Jan ($7,000), Feb ($7,975), Mar ($8,200):  
    - Total depreciation: $79,500 + $7,000 + $7,975 + $8,200 = **$102,875**  
  - **Net Equipment:**  
    $$
    \$787,200 - \$102,875 = \boxed{\$684,325}
    $$

---

### **Total Assets:**  
$$
\$442,468 + \$684,325 = \boxed{\$1,126,793}
$$

---

### **Liabilities and Equity**

**Liabilities:**  
- **Accounts payable:** $370,000 (given)  
- **Loan payable:**  
  - Beginning balance: $14,000 (Dec 31)  
  - Loan was paid down in January, fully paid off, so **$0** remaining at March 31  
- **Taxes payable:** $91,000 (due March 15, not paid yet; remains as a liability)

**Total Liabilities:**  
$$
\$370,000 + \$0 + \$91,000 = \boxed{\$461,000}
$$

---

**Stockholders’ Equity:**  
- **Common stock:** $470,500 (given)  
- **Retained earnings:**  
  - Beginning: $309,000  
  - Plus net income for the quarter: $202,184  
  - Less dividends paid (not specified, so assume none): $0  
  - **Ending Retained Earnings:**  
    $$
    \$309,000 + \$202,184 = \boxed{\$511,184}
    $$

**Total Equity:**  
$$
\$470,500 + \$511,184 = \boxed{\$981,684}
$$

---

### **Reconciliation:**

Total liabilities and equity:  
$$
\$461,000 + \$981,684 = \boxed{\$1,442,684}
$$

*(Note: The total assets calculated here ($1,126,793) do not match this sum, indicating a discrepancy arising from earlier calculations or assumptions. To correct this, we need to reconcile the figures properly. In practice, the balance sheet must balance.)*
