The companyâs chief financial officer (CFO), in consultationwith various managers across the organization has developed thefollowing set of assumptions to help create the 2017 budget:
The budgeted unit sales are 12,000 units, 37,000 units, 15,000units, and 25,000 units for quarters 1-4, respectively. Notice thatthe company experiences peak sales in the second and fourthquarters. The budgeted selling price for the year is $32 per unit.The budgeted unit sales for the first quarter of 2018 is 13,000units.
All sales are on credit. Uncollectible accounts are negligibleand can be ignored. Seventy-five percent of all credit sales arecollected in the quarter of the sale and 25% are collected in thesubsequent quarter.
Each quarterâs ending finished goods inventory should equal 15%of the next quarterâs unit sales.
Each unit of finished goods requires 3.5 yards of raw materialthat costs $3.00 per yard. Each quarterâs ending raw materialsinventory should equal 10% of the next quarterâs production needs.The estimated ending raw materials inventory on December 31, 2017is 5,000 yards.
Seventy percent of each quarterâs purchases are paid for in thequarter of purchase. The remaining 30% of each quarterâs purchasesare paid in the following quarter.
Direct laborers are paid $18 an hour and each unit of finishedgoods requires 0.25 direct labor-hours to complete. All directlabor costs are paid in the quarter incurred.
The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead per directlabor-hour is $3.00. The quarterly fixed manufacturing overhead is$150,000 including $20,000 of depreciation on equipment. The numberof direct labor-hours is used as the allocation base for thebudgeted plantwide overhead rate. All overhead costs (excludingdepreciation) are paid in the quarter incurred.
The budgeted variable selling and administrative expense is$1.25 per unit sold. The fixed selling and administrative expensesper quarter include advertising ($25,000), executive salaries($64,000), insurance ($12,000), property tax ($8,000), anddepreciation expense ($8,000). All selling and administrativeexpenses (excluding depreciation) are paid in the quarterincurred.
The company plans to maintain a minimum cash balance at the endof each quarter of $30,000. Assume that any borrowings take placeon the first day of the quarter. To the extent possible, thecompany will repay principal and interest on any borrowings on thelast day of the fourth quarter. The companyâs lender imposes asimple interest rate of 3% per quarter on any borrowings.
Dividends of $15,000 will be declared and paid in eachquarter.
The company uses a last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory flowassumption. This means that the most recently purchased rawmaterials are the âfirst-outâ to production and the most recentlycompleted finished goods are the âfirst-outâ to customers.
Required:

Detailed Assignment Requirements
The next few pages show the balances in GBI accounts as of December 31st and then the descriptions of events occurring during January for which you are to make general journal entries in a manual accounting system. Your manual accounting system needs to include a general journal, Pivot Tables (that acts as a General Ledger), and a trial balance, all of which will be generated in Excel, (see the sample problem for the format).
After you have created your entries in your manual system, you will enter all the data into the SAP ERP system. When you enter your data into the SAP system the resulting financial information from the manual system and the SAP system should match exactly.
Assignment Steps
Record the daily transactions if appropriate, (some events may not involve journal entries), as general journal entries into Excel. Summarize the effects of the journal entries in a Pivot Table summary. Link the Pivot Table into your Excel worksheet as a trial balance. You should create links between your spreadsheets to expedite this process and minimize the risk of an error in data entry. Looking over the answer to the sample problem may be helpful in reviewing your Excel skills.
The next step is to record the adjusting entries into the general journal and then summarize them into a Pivot Table and then the trial balance.
Record closing entries in your trial balance as if this were a year-end close. (Do not enter the closing entries in your General Journal).
Prepare the SAP ERP system for data entry.
Now use the SAP ERP system to make all above entries using the general ledger system in SAP. This should be done in a series of steps as follows:
Examine the GLXX chart of accounts where XX is your assigned SAP student login ID#. (Whenever you see XX in the instructions, substitute your SAP login ID#.)
Record beginning account balances in the SAP general ledger. This should be done as one composite journal entry (the first journal entry). Use January 1, as the journal entry date for the beginning account balances. Be sure to compare this to your Excel spreadsheet to make sure the entries are correct.
Display the trial balance (you should compare this to your manual entries). If the trial balance does not match your manual entries, research the errors and make necessary corrections.
Record the daily transactions for January in the SAP general ledger (do each journal entry as a separate entry, not as one giant composite entry, be sure to use appropriate dates â this allows for a good audit trail).
Display the trial balance (you should compare this to your manual entries).
Record the adjusting entries.
Display the trial balance (you should compare this to your manual entries).
Simulate closing the books as of January 31 using the SAP utility. (Do not enter closing entries into the general ledger. These entries would be done automatically through the SAP month-end closing function.)
Instructions for using the SAP ERP system start on page 13 of this document.

| 5 | January 10 | GBIâs account on the utility company website is updated at the end of each month when the meter is read. GBI uses this data to accrue the expenses at the end of each month (in this case on December 31st.) This allows recognition of the expense in the correct period. Expenses are usually accrued at the end of the month as âAccrued Expensesâ. GBI paid the December utility bill via the companyâs automatic electronic bill pay program. |

The system will allow employees to track inventory using mobile devices and special software which will link into their new computerized accounting system. The barcode system costs $7,500 (including sales tax) and CSI will charge GBI $1,300 for the installation and tests. GBI paid a deposit of $2,000 on the system and the remainder is due and payable when the system is installed. GBI will classify the bar-coding system as âProduction Machinery, Equipment and Fixturesâ. |

| 28 | Big Appleâs truck arrived at GBIâs warehouse and picked up the order from January 27th. |
Adjustment information as of January 31, not already given in the original transaction(s):
1.Based on prior experience, GBI estimates that approximately 1.5 % of the credit sales from each month will become bad debt. GBI writes off bad debts as they occur and recognizes bad debt expense based on percentage of credit sales as an adjusting entry each month.
2. As a control measure, physical inventories are taken on a periodic basis alternating between the raw materials inventory, finished goods inventory and trading goods inventory. Physical inventory of the finished goods inventory was taken at the end of January. It was determined that the value of the finished goods merchandise on hand was $1,200.
3. GBI counted the office (operating) supplies on hand after the close of business on the last day of the month and determined the cost of the unused office supplies to be $1000.
4. Production Machinery, Equipment and Fixtures were placed in service on January 1, 2013, with no salvage value. The bar-code system has a 5-year life and no salvage value. GBI depreciates fixed assets on a straight-line basis and those assets placed in service in the first half of the months are depreciated for the entire month, while fixed assets placed in service during the last half of the month are not depreciated until the second month. Depreciation is rounded to the nearest dollar and assets are depreciated on a monthly basis (i.e. number of days in the month is not of consequence).
5. GBI used the Internet to review the monthly charges for utilities the business consumed during January. Based on the Internet report, the amount to be billed by the utilities company for January usage is the same as was billed for December.
6. Liability insurance for the six-month period ending on January 31 was paid last August on the first of the month. Liability insurance is assumed to be utilized uniformly over the six-month policy period.
7. GBI needs to recognize the wages expense for the month. Since all employees are paid salaries and no changes have been made, this amount is the same as the previous month salaries. (For purposes of this assignment, ignore manufacturing, office, and administrative payrolls and assume all wages expense is towards labor expense.)
****Hello, there was a comment that said "Lack of information on year". For this case study you can use 2018 for all the January transactions and 2017 for anything refering to December. All adjustments need to be dated January 31, 2018. Thank you
