Sales Budget:

April: 65,000 units x $10 = $650,000
May: 100,000 units x $10 = $1,000,000
June: 50,000 units x $10 = $500,000

Total Sales: $2,150,000

Production Budget:

Ending Inventory (May): 10,000 units
Total Needs: 240,000 units
Units to Produce: 240,000 units - 10,000 units = 230,000 units

Direct Materials Budget:

Direct Materials Cost per unit: $4
Total Materials Cost: 230,000 units x $4 = $920,000

Direct Labor Budget:

Direct Labor Cost per unit: $2
Total Labor Cost: 230,000 units x $2 = $460,000

Manufacturing Overhead Budget:

Variable Overhead per unit: $1
Fixed Overhead: $50,000 per month

Total Overhead: (230,000 units x $1) + $50,000 = $280,000

Selling and Administrative Expense Budget:

Selling Expenses: $0.50 per unit
Administrative Expenses: $100,000 per month

Total Expenses: (230,000 units x $0.50) + $100,000 = $215,000

Total Sales: $2,150,000
Total Expenses: $1,575,000
Net Income: $575,000

Cash Budget:

Beginning Cash Balance: $100,000

Direct Materials: $920,000
Direct Labor: $460,000
Manufacturing Overhead: $280,000
Selling and Administrative Expenses: $215,000
Total Disbursements: $1,875,000

Ending Cash Balance: $2,250,000 - $1,875,000 = $375,000

Overall, the company is projected to have a net income of $575,000 and an ending cash balance of $375,000 for the next three months. The budgeting process has allowed for a more accurate prediction of sales and expenses, which should help prevent cash shortages and provide a better financial outlook for the company.
