Current Liabilities:

September 1 Accounts payable = $40,000 incurred in August for manufacturing costs.

Income tax = $55,000 October

Quarterly Dividend of $25,000 in November

b) When Bridgeport Housewares Inc prepares budgeted monthly cash budgets, important highlights are indicated.  For instance, it becomes easier for the management of Bridgeport to know when to borrow cash to meet the minimum cash balance or in the alternative sell off some marketable securities.  It is also easier for Bridgeport to understand that it can be having excess cash which should not be allowed to sit idle, but can be invested in marketable securities.  The cash budgets and their preparation also help Bridgeport to be better prepared to exert the required efforts to generate sales revenue in order not to jeopardize its liquidity position.  It can also help Bridgeport to understand that the capital expenditure could have been paid for instalmentally starting from September or so instead of lumping the sum in November.  There are many other insights garnered from the cash budgets and their preparation.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

d. $88,000

Explanation:

In 2020, Merkel company's

Revenue = $2,600,000

Cost = $2,100,000

Operating profits = Revenue -  Cost

= $2,600,000 - $2,100,000

= $500,000

In 2021, the company's;

Revenue increases by $260,000

New revenue = $260,000 + $2,600,000 = $2,860,000

New Cost = $2,100,000 + $172,000 = $2,272,000

New Operating profits = $2,860,000 - $2,272,000

= $588,000

Expected increase in Operating profits = $588,000 - $500,000

= $88,000

The expected increase in operating profit amounts to $88,000.
