CHAPTER 8: STRATEGY AND THE MASTER BUDGET


EXERCISES
8-32 Behavioral Co!i"era#io! (15 Minutes)
There are at least two issues here. One is the failure to take advantage of all the
cash discount included in the sales term. (In this regard, see Eercise !"#$.) The
other is the constant occurrence of rush orders, last"minute changes, and other
o%erating emergencies that re&uire the %urchasing de%artment to do last minute
%urchases.
'anet needs to ensure that the (ccounting )e%artment records all %urchases
at the net %rice whenever a %urchase is made with cash discounts included in the
sales terms. (n* additional amount that the firm has to %a* +ecause of the failure
to make the %a*ment within the %a*ment terms should +e charged to the finance
de%artment as a loss and not treated as an ad,ustment to the cost of %urchase.
The firm needs to +e ver* clear in its o%erating %rocedures a+out the minimum
amount of time re&uired for %urchases. (n* additional ac&uisition cost +ecause of
rush orders, last"minute changes, or o%erating emergencies should +e +orne +*
the de%artment making the re&uest.

the following/
These em%lo*ees are hedging against the une%ected (i.e., the* use slack to
deal with or reduce uncertaint* and risk).
Bud"etar# slack allows em%lo*ees to Glook good,H (i.e., to eceed
e%ectations and8or show consistent %erformance). This is %articularl*
im%ortant when %erformance is evaluated on the +asis of actual versus
+udgeted results.
Em%lo*ees who are a+le to +lend %ersonal and organiQational goals through
+udgetar* slack and show good %erformance generall* are rewarded with
higher salaries, %romotions, and +onuses.
.* G%adding the +udget,H the manager is more likel* to get what he8she
actuall* needs in terms of resources for the u%coming %eriod.

limiting the usefulness of the +udget to motivate their em%lo*ees to to%
%erformance
affecting their a+ilit* to identif* trou+le s%ots and take a%%ro%riate corrective
action
reducing their credi+ilit* in the e*es of management
reducing the a+ilit* of to% management to effectivel* allocate resources to
organiQational su+units on the +asis of actual economic %erformance. 0or
eam%le, the use of bud"etar# slack ma* affect management decision"
making, as the +udgets will show lower contri+ution margins (lower sales,
higher e%enses). )ecisions regarding the %rofita+ilit* of %roduct lines,
staffing levels, incentives, etc. could have an adverse effect on (tkinsSs and
KrangerSs de%artments.

are %ro,ected to increase 1#1.
+ri%le/0 1ealth Club seems to have a cash/mana"ement %roblem. The clu+
does not generate enough cash from o%erations to meet its o+ligations. It ma*
not +e a+le to meet e%enditures for da*"to"da* o%erations if the trend
continues. To avoid cash crises, the clu+ should %re%are monthl* cash +udgets
to hel% cash management.
Non/o%erational %a#ments are %ro,ected to use u% virtuall# all of the cash
"enerated from o%erations' Kiven the recent declines in mortgage interest rates,
management should consider refinancing this de+t to reduce this cash drain.
#. 'ane FroweSs concern with regard to the .oardSs e%ansion goals is ,ustified. The
-335 +udget %ro,ections show onl* a minimal increase in the cash +alance (i.e., an
increase of onl* 2-,$5$). The total cash availa+le is well short of the 2:3,333
annual additional cash needed for the land %urchase. If the .oard desires to
%urchase the ad,oining %ro%ert*, it is going to have to consider increases in fees,
refinancing eisting de+t, or other methods of financing the ac&uisition (such as
additional mortgage de+t or mem+ershi% +onds).
