Whitewater maintains inventory equal to


$20,000 plus 80% of the budgeted cost of
goods sold for the following month.
Cost of goods sold averages 70% of
sales.
What is the ending inventory on Sept. 31?
$20,000 + (0.80 0.70 October sales of
$50,000) = $48,000
Horngren Harrison Bamber Best Fraser Willett, Accounting 4e Copyright 2004 Pearson Education Australia 20 - 49
Preparing the Master Budget

What is the beginning inventory in September?


$20,000 + (0.80 0.70 $40,000) = $42,400

Whitewater pays for inventory as


follows: 50% during the month of
purchase and 50% during the next
month.
September purchases were $33,600.
How much was paid in September for
Septembers purchases?
