Solution

To calculate the total cash outflows for 2011, we need to consider all the expenses that will be paid in cash.

  1. First, we need to calculate the total cash inflows from sales. We know that 20% of sales are cash sales and 80% are credit sales. So, cash sales would be 20% of 1,500,000whichequals1,500,000 which equals 300,000.

  2. Next, we need to calculate the cash inflows from credit sales. The company expects to collect 60% of all credit sales in 2011. So, credit sales would be 80% of 1,500,000whichequals1,500,000 which equals 1,200,000. The company expects to collect 60% of this amount in 2011, so the cash inflows from credit sales would be 60% of 1,200,000whichequals1,200,000 which equals 720,000.

  3. Adding the cash inflows from cash sales and credit sales, we get a total cash inflow of 300,000+300,000 + 720,000 = $1,020,000.

  4. Now, let's calculate the cash outflows. The budgeted expenses are 1,200,000.However,notalloftheseexpenseswillresultincashoutflows.Depreciationisanoncashexpense,sowesubtractthe1,200,000. However, not all of these expenses will result in cash outflows. Depreciation is a non-cash expense, so we subtract the 37,500 for depreciation from the total expenses. This gives us 1,200,0001,200,000 - 37,500 = $1,162,500.

  5. The variable manufacturing overhead is also a cash expense, so we add the 745,500forvariablemanufacturingoverheadtoourtotal.Thisgivesus745,500 for variable manufacturing overhead to our total. This gives us 1,162,500 + 745,500=745,500 = 1,908,000.

  6. Therefore, the total cash outflows for 2011 would be $1,908,000.
