suburban neighborhood. The company attempts to make service calls
at least once a month to all homes that subscribe to its service.
It makes more frequent calls during the summer. The number of
subscribers also varies with the season. The number of subscribers
and the average number of calls to each subscriber for the months
of interest follow:
The average price charged for a service call is $80. Of the service
calls, 30 percent are paid in the month the service is rendered, 60
percent in the month after the service is rendered, and 8 percent
in the second month after. The remaining 2 percent is
uncollectible.
Varmit-B-Gone estimates that the number of subscribers in
September should fall 10 percent below August levels, and the
number of service calls per subscriber should decrease by an
estimated 20 percent. The following information is available for
costs incurred in August. All costs except depreciation are paid in
cash.
Variable service and marketing costs change with volume. Fixed
depreciation will remain the same, but fixed administrative costs
will increase by 5 percent beginning September 1. Maintenance and
repair are provided by contract, which calls for a 1 percent
increase in September.
Required:
Prepare a budgeted income statement for
September. (Round intermediate calculations to 2
decimals places.)
