Module 9: Budgeting

Budgets – charts a course for a business by outlining the plans of the business in financial terms

Objectives:

·  Establishing specific goals

·  Executing plans to achieve goals

·  Periodically comparing actual results with goals

Management objectives:

·  Planning

o  A set of goals is often necessary to guide and focus individual and group actions.

o  Budgeting supports the planning process by requiring all organizational units to establish their goals for the upcoming period.

o  Planning not only motivates employees to attain goals but also improves overall decision making.

·  Directing

o  Once the budget plans are in place, they can be use to direct and coordinate operations in order to achieve the stated goals.

o  Responsibility centers are led by a manager who has the authority over and the responsibility for the unit’s performance.

·  Controlling

o  Actual performance of an operation can be compared against the planned goals

§  Provides prompt feedback to employees about their performance.

§  Comparing actual results to the plan also helps prevent unplanned expenditures.

Budgeting Systems

v  vary among businesses because of such factors as organizational structure, complexity of operations, and management philosophy.

v  Differences in budget systems are even more significant among different types of business such as manufacturers and service businesses.

v  Types of Budgets

o  Continuous budgeting – maintains a 12-month projection into the future. The 12-month budge is continually revised by removing the data for the period just ended and adding estimated budget data for the same period next year.

o  Zero based budgeting – requires manager to estimate sales, production, and other operating data as though operations are being started for the first time.

o  Static Budget – shows expected results of a responsibility center for only one activity level. Once the budget has been determined, it is not changed, even if the activity changes.

o  Flexible budget – shows expected results of a responsibility center for several activity levels.

Master Budget

o  Manufacturing operations require a series of budgets that are linked together in the master budget.

o  Major parts of the master budget are:

o  Budgeted income statement

§  Sales budget

§  Cost of goods sold budget

·  Production budget

·  Direct materials purchases budget

·  Direct labor cost budget

·  Factory overhead cost budget

§  Selling and administrative expense budget

o  Budgeted balance sheet

§  Cash budget

§  Capital expenditure budget

These budgets must be prepared in a specific order since the information from a prior budget is needed to prepare the next budget.

Budgeted Income Statement

v  Sales Budget

o  Indicates for each product

§  the quantity of estimated sales and

§  expected selling price.

o  In estimating the quantity of sales for each product, past sales volumes are often used as the starting point. They are revised for factors that are expected to affect future sales. Once sales volume is obtained, sales revenues can be computed.

o  Example: Brite Lite sells two products in United States and Canada. Product A is estimated to sell 5,000 units in the United States and 10,000 units in Canada at $100 per unit. Product B sells 20,000 units in United States and 6,000 units in Canada at $50 per unit.

Brite Lite

Sales Budget

For year 2006

Product A / Product B
Units sold:
United States / 5,000 / 20,000
Canada / 10,000 / 6,000
Total units sold / 15,000 / 26,000
Sales price per unit / X $100 / X $50
Total sales / $1,500,000 / 1,300,000 / $2,800,000

Once the sales budget is completed, the Production budget is prepared.

Production Budget:

o  Coordinates with sales budget to ensure that production and sales are kept in balance during the period

o  Number of units manufactured to meet budgeted sales and inventory needs for each product is set forth in the production budget.

o  Formula:

Expected units to be sold

+ Desired ending inventory

-Estimated beginning inventory

Total units to be produced

Example: Brite Lite expects to have beginning inventory of 3,000 units of Product A and 5,000 units of Product B. The company would like its ending inventory to be 10% of estimated sales.

Product A / Product B
Expected sales (in units) / 15,000 / 26,000
Plus desired ending inventory / + 1,500 / + 2,600
Minus estimated beginning inventory / - 3,000 / - 5,000
Total production / 13,500 / 23,600

Expected sales came in from the Sales Budget.

Desired ending inventory

Product A: Estimated sales 15,000 x 10% = 1,500 units

Product B: Estimated sales 26,000 x 10% = 2,600 units

Beginning inventory given in problem.

Direct Materials Purchase Budget:

·  The production budget is the starting point for determining the estimated quantities of direct materials to be purchased.

·  Estimates purchase levels for the next year and costs.

·  Formula:

Materials required for production

+ Desired ending materials inventory

-Estimated beginning materials inventory

Direct materials to be purchased

X cost per unit

Total direct materials cost

Example: Product A uses 2 lbs. of plastic and 3 lbs. of aluminum. Product B uses ½ lb. of plastic, 1 lb. of aluminum, and 2 lbs. of paper. Aluminum sells for $5 per lb. Plastic sells for $10 per lbs, and paper sells for $2 per lbs. Beginning inventory is 7,300, 3,600, and 5,200 lbs. Ending inventory is 4,000 lbs, 6,000 lbs, and 8,000 lbs.

Ending Inventory (lbs) / Beginning inventory (lbs.)
Plastic / 4,000 / 7,300
Aluminum / 6,000 / 3,600
Paper / 8,000 / 5,200

Required: Prepare a direct material purchase budget.

Direct Materials Purchase Budget

AL / Plastic / Paper / Total
Product A (13,500 units)
13,500 x 3 lbs. / 40,500
13,500 x 2 lbs. / 27,000
13,500 x 0 lbs. / 0
Product B (23,600 units)
23, 600 x 1lbs. / 23.600
23,600 x ½ lbs. / 11,800
23,600 x 2 lbs. / 47,200
Total needed for production / 64,100 / 38,800 / 47,200
+ Desired Ending inventory / 4,000 / 6,000 / 8,000
Total units needed / 68,100 / 44,800 / 55,200
- Beginning Inventory / -7,300 / -3,600 / -5,200
Total direct materials purchased / 60,800 / 41,200 / 50,000
Unit cost for material / X $5 / X $10 / X $2
Total costs / $304,000 / $412,000 / $100,000 / $816,000

Direct Labor Budget:

o  Production budget also provides the starting point for preparing the direct labor cost budget.

Example: Department 1 has a labor cost of $10 per hour. Product A uses 6 hours in Department 1 and Product B uses 4 hours. Department 2 has a labor cost of $7 per hours. Production A uses 2 hours of Department 2’s labor and Product B uses ½ hour. Prepare a direct labor budget.

Department 1 / Department 2 / Total
Product A (13,500 units)
6 hours per unit x 13,500 / 81,000
2 hours per unit x 13,500 / 27,000
Product B (23,600 units)
4 hours x 23,600 units / 94,400
½ hour x 23,600 units / 11,800
Total hours per department / 175,400 / 38,800
Labor cost per hour / X $10 / X $7
Total / $1,754,000 / $271,600 / $2,025,600

Factory Overhead Budget

Example: Indirect labor $25,000, Utilities $45,000, Maintenance $40,000, and insurances and taxes $60,000.

Factory Overhead Budget

Indirect labor / $ 25,000
Utilities / 45,000
Maintenance / 40,000
Insurance & Taxes / 60,000
Total / $170,000

Cost of goods sold budget:

Balance Sheet Budgets

v  Cash Budget:

·  Is one of the most important elements of budgeted balance sheet.

·  Presents the expected receipts and payments of cash for a period of time.

·  Three parts of the cash budget are

o  Cash receipts

o  Cash payments

o  Other items

·  We prepare a schedule for each of the three parts and then unite in the final cash budget presentation.

Cash Receipts Schedule:

Example: Magna Corporation has estimated sales of January $1,080,000, February $1,240,000, and March $970,000. Accounts receivable has a balance on January 1 of $370,000. The company expects that 10% of its sales will be in cash and the remainder in credit. Of the credit sales, 60% will be collected in the next month and the remainder the following month.

Required: Prepare a schedule of cash receipts.

Calculations:
