The actual results for the first quarter of 2015 require the following changes in the budget
assumptions:
The budgeted production for the year is expected to increase by 5,000 units.
During the first quarter, the company has already produced 25,000 units. The
balance of production will be scheduled in equal segments over the last 3 quarters
of the budget year.
The expected finished goods inventory on January 1 dropped to only 9,000 units,
but its total value will not be revised anymore. The ending inventory value is
computed using the average manufacturing cost for the year.
A new Labor Bill passed by Congress is expected to be signed into a law by the
President. The new law will take effect beginning the last quarter of the budget
year, including a provision for an increase of 8% in wage rates.
The company uses the FIFO method in valuing its materials inventory. During the
first quarter, the company purchased 27,500 units of direct materials for
P1,760,000. The remaining direct materials requirement will be purchased evenly
for the last 9 months of the budget year. Effective July 1, 2015, the beginning of
the third quarter, direct materials cost is expected to increase by 5%. The
assumptions regarding the quantity of materials inventories at the beginning and
end of the year will remain unchanged.
The variable factory overhead of P2,009,600 includes indirect materials and factory
supplies amounting to P889,600. It is computed at 10% of the cost of materials
used. The balance of the variable factory overhead varies directly with production.
There will be no change in the budgeted fixed factory overhead cost.
Based on actual data for the first quarter, as well as the changes in assumptions and
estimates in the budgeted data for the year, the company’s accountant prepared a revised
budgeted cost of goods sold statement. This revised statement should show:
