Question

Lois Bragg owns a small restaurant in Boston. Ms. Bragg provided her accountant with the following summary information regarding expectations for the month of June. The balance in accounts receivable as of May 31 is $56,000. Budgeted cash and credit sales for June are $145,000 and $591,000, respectively. Credit sales are made through Visa and MasterCard and are collected rapidly. Sixty five percent of credit sales is collected in the month of sale, and the remainder is collected in the following month. Ms. Bragg's suppliers do not extend credit. Consequently, she pays suppliers on the last day of the month. Cash payments for June are expected to be $710,000. Ms. Bragg has a line of credit that enables the restaurant to borrow funds on demand; however, they must be borrowed on the last day of the month. Interest is paid in cash also on the last day of the month. Ms. Bragg desires to maintain a $38,000 cash balance before the interest payment. Her annual interest rate is 10 percent. Required Compute the amount of funds Ms. Bragg needs to borrow for June. Determine the amount of interest expense the restaurant will report on the June pro forma income statement. What amount will the restaurant report as interest expense on the July pro forma income statement

Determine the amount of interest expense the restaurant will report on the June pro forma income statement.

• $0, money is borrowed on June 30th there is no interest expense during June

What amount will the restaurant report as interest expense on the July pro forma income statement

• $1,357

Explanation:

accounts receivable May 31 is $56,000.

budgeted cash sales for June $145,000

credit sales for June $591,000

65% of credit sales are collected in current month, 35% collected next month

suppliers are paid on the last day of the month

budgeted cash payments for June 30th = $710,000

cash balance $38,000

how much money does Ms. Bragg need to borrow on June 30?

total cash collections in June = $56,000 (from previous month) + $145,000 (cash sales) + $384,150 (65% of $591,000) = $585,150

payments - cash collected = $710,000 - $585,150 = $124,850

money borrowed on June 30 = $124,850 + $38,000 (desired cash balance) = $162,850

interest expense during July = $162,850 x 10% x 1/12 = $1,357
