The Basic Framework of Budgeting

• A budget is a detailed quantitative plan for acquiring and


using financial and other resources over a specified
forthcoming time period.
• The act of preparing a budget is called budgeting.
• The use of budgets to control an organization’s activity is
known as budgetary control.
• The master budget summarizes a company’s plans, setting
specific targets for sales, production, distribution,
administrative, and financing activities.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-3


Why Organizations Create Budgets

• Budgets serve as both a planning tool and a control


tool in organizations.
• Planning involves developing objectives and
preparing various budgets to achieve these
objectives.
• Control involves gathering feedback to assess the
extent to which the objectives developed at the
planning stage are being attained.
• An effective budgeting system provides for both
planning and control.
© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-4
Planning Process
• As part of the planning process, budgets are used to:
1. Encourage managers to think about and plan for
the future.
2. Communicate management’s financial goals
throughout the organization.
3. Allocate resources to those parts of the
organization where they can be used most
effectively.
4. Coordinate the plans and activities of managers
in different departments.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-5


Control System
• As part of a control system, budgets are compared to
actual results during the year to:

1. Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of


operations.
2. Evaluate and reward employees.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-6


Choosing a Budget Period
The annual operating budget
may be divided into quarterly
or monthly budgets.
Operating Budget

2012 2013 2014 2015

A continuous budget is a 12-month budget that rolls


forward one month (or quarter) as the current month
(or quarter) is completed.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-7


How Organizations Create Budgets
Part 1
• Companies usually create budgets by relying on some
combination of top-down budgeting and participative
budgeting.
• A participative budget involves managers from across
the organization in developing budget estimates for
their areas of responsibility.
• With a top-down approach, top-level managers initiate
the budgeting process by issuing overall profit targets.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-8


How Organizations Create Budgets
Part 2
• Many companies choose to use a participative
budgeting approach, involving lower-level managers in
developing the budget because it:
• Shows respect for their experience and opinions.
• Leverages their knowledge and experience to provide
more accurate estimates.
• Increases their motivation to achieve goals they had
input in setting.
• Empowers them to take ownership of the budget and
to be accountable for deviations from it.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-9


Budgetary Slack
• Budget estimates prepared by lower-level managers
cannot simply be accepted without review by higher
levels of management.
• If no review system is present, participative budgets
may contain excessive budgetary slack.
• Slack is the difference between the revenues and
expenses a manager expects can be achieved and the
amounts included in the budget.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-10


Benchmarking
• An input to creating budgets that some companies use is
the performance of competitors, “best-in-class”
companies, or other business units in the same company.
• A best-in-class company is one known for achieving
exceptional levels of performance on some aspect of
their operations such as customer service, distribution,
marketing, and so on.
• The approach of comparing revenue, cost, or process
performance to other high-performing companies, or to
other successful business units in the same company, is
known as benchmarking.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-11


Behavioural Factors in Budgeting Part 1

• Two important purposes of the budget are to motivate


people and coordinate their efforts.
• These purposes can be undermined if the budget is
used in an inflexible manner to control people.
• This relates to the idea of responsibility accounting,
whereby managers are held responsible for those
items—and only those items—that they can actually
influence to a significant extent.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-12


Behavioural Factors in Budgeting Part 2

• Another key issue related to the motivational aspect


of budgets is the difficulty level of the budget targets
for revenues and expenses.
• If budgets are too difficult, employees will eventually
recognize that they are unattainable, and motivation
and morale will likely suffer.
• If the budgets are too easy, inefficiencies or less effort
will result.

The Master Budget: An Overview

Exhibit 9-2

The Sales Budget Defined
• A sales budget is detailed schedule showing the
expected sales for the budget period; typically it is
expressed in both dollars and units of product.
• An accurate sales budget is the key to the entire
budgeting process.
• All of the other parts of the master budget depend
on the sales budget in some way.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-15


The Big Picture 1
• A master budget for a manufacturing company is
designed to answer 10 key questions:
1. How much sales will we earn?
2. How much cash will we collect from customers?
3. How much raw material will we need to purchase?
4. How much manufacturing cost (including direct
materials, direct labour, and manufacturing overhead)
will we incur?
5. How much cash will we pay to our suppliers and our
direct labourers, and how much will we pay for
manufacturing overhead resources?

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-16


The Big Picture 2
6. What is the total cost that will be transferred from
finished goods inventory to cost of goods sold?
7. How much selling and administrative expense will
we incur and how much cash will we pay related to
those expenses?
8. How much money will we borrow from or repay to
lenders, including interest?
9. How much operating income will we earn?
10. What will our balance sheet look like at the end of
the budget period?

Budgeting Example
• Royal Company is preparing budgets for the quarter
ending June 30.
• Budgeted sales for the next five months are:
April 20,000 units
May 50,000 units
June 30,000 units
July 25,000 units
August 15,000 units.
• The selling price is $10 per unit.
© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-18
The Sales Budget

The individual months of April, May, and June are summed


to obtain the total projected sales in units and dollars for
the quarter ended June 30th.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-19


Expected Cash Collections 1
• All sales are on account.
• Royal’s collection pattern is:
• 70% collected in the month of sale,
• 25% collected in the month following sale,
• 5% uncollectible.

• The March 31 accounts receivable balance of


$30,000 will be collected in full.

Format of the Cash Budget
The cash budget is divided into four sections:
1. Cash receipts listing all cash inflows excluding
borrowing;
2. Cash disbursements listing all payments excluding
repayments of principal and interest;
3. Cash excess or deficiency; and
4. The financing section listing all borrowings,
repayments and interest.

Static Budgets
• The budgets we just went over are static budgets.
• A static budget is prepared only for the planned or
budgeted level of activity.
• These budgets are suitable for planning, however they
can be inadequate for control if the actual level of
activity during the period differs significantly from the
budgeted level.
• Therefore an alternative approach is needed to restore
the usefulness of budgets as a control tool.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-90


Flexible Budgets

Flexible budgets:
• Take into account changes in revenues and costs
expected to occur as a consequence of changes
in actual activity.
• Provides estimates of what revenues and costs
should be for any level of activity within a
specified range.
• Improves performance evaluation

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-91


Forecasts Part 1
• A planning tool often used by companies is
the forecast.
• Like a budget, a forecast represents management’s
estimates of revenues and expenses likely to occur in
a future period.
• Forecasts are typically prepared after a fiscal period
has started and can cover periods as short as a week
or a month or as long as several years.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-92


Forecasts Part 2
• An advantage of using a forecast as a planning tool
after the fiscal period has started is that it will be
based on current information that may differ from the
information used to prepare the static budget.

Question from last slide: Since cost variances are favourable,
have we done a good job controlling costs?

This question can’t be answered using a static budget.


The relevant question should be…
“How much of the favourable cost variance is due to lower
activity, and how much is due to good cost control?

To answer the question, we must flex the budget to the


actual level of activity.

Preparing a Flexible Budget 1

To flex a budget we need to know that:


• Total variable costs change in direct
proportion to changes in activity.
• Total fixed costs remain unchanged within
the relevant range.
• Let’s prepare a flexible budget…

Variable costs are expressed as


a constant amount per hour.
$40,000 ÷ 10,000 hours is
$4.00 per hour.
Fixed costs are
expressed as a
total amount.

End of Chapter Summary 1
• Budgets play a dual role in organizations (planning and
control) and offer several benefits; including,
communication of management’s plans, allocation of
resources, coordination of activities, and establishment
of goals and objectives that can be used to evaluate
subsequent performance.
• Budgets represent a key element of responsibility
accounting systems, whereby managers are held
responsible for revenue and cost items over which they
have significant influence.

End of Chapter Summary 2
• A master budget involves numerous interrelated
schedules and starts with the sales budget, which is
based on the sales forecast.
• For a manufacturing company, once the sales budget
has been set, the production budget can be prepared
since it depends on how many units are to be sold.
• The production budget determines how many units
are to be produced.
• After the production budget is prepared, the various
manufacturing cost budgets and selling and
administrative budgets can be developed.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-119


End of Chapter Summary 3
• After the detailed budget schedules have been
completed, the cash budget, budgeted income
statement, and budgeted balance sheet can be prepared.
• Flexible budgets can be used to address the limitations
that arise with static budgets when actual activity levels
differ significantly from budgeted levels.
• Flexible budgets also allow companies to prepare
performance reports that show the difference between
actual and static budget into flexible budget variances
and sales volume variances.

Inventory Decisions
• Inventory planning and control decisions are an
important aspect of the management of many
organizations.
• Inventory planning and control play an integral role in
preparing the master budget.
• The major issues that need to be addressed are:
• How does the manger know what inventory level
is appropriate?
• Will the appropriate level vary from organization
to organization?

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-122


Costs Associated with Inventory 1
• Inventory Ordering Costs: Costs associated
with the acquisition of inventory, such as clerical
costs and transportation costs.
• Inventory Carrying Costs: Costs associated
with having inventory on hand, such as storage
space, handling costs, property taxes, insurance,
obsolescence losses and interest on capital
invested in inventory.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-123


Costs Associated with Inventory 2

• Costs of not carrying sufficient inventory:


• Costs that result from not having enough
inventory on hand to meet customers’
needs, including; customer dissatisfaction
and lost sales, forgone quantity discounts,
uneven production, inefficient production
runs, and additional transportation charges.

Computing the Economic Order
Quantity
• The economic order quantity is the order size
for materials that minimizes the costs of
ordering and carrying inventory.
• There are two approaches:
1. The Tabular Approach
2. The Formula Approach

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-125


Just-in-Time and the Economic
Order Quantity

• The EOQ will decrease under either of these


circumstances:
1. The cost of placing an order decreases.
2. The cost of carrying inventory increases.

Production Lot Size, Reorder
Point and Safety Stock 1
• Economic production Lot Size: The number of units
produced in a production lot that minimizes setup costs
and the costs of carrying inventory.
• Setup costs: Labour and other costs involved in
getting facilities ready to produce a batch of a particular
production item.
• Reorder point: The point in time when an order must
be laced to replenish deplete inventory; it is determined
by multiplying the lead time by the average daily or
weekly usage.
© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-127
Production Lot Size, Reorder
Point and Safety Stock 2
• Lead time: The interval between the time that an order
is placed and the time that the order is actually received
from the supplier or production is completed.
• Safety stock: The difference between average usage of
materials and maximum usage of materials that can
reasonably be expected during the lead time.

© 2021 McGraw-Hill Limited 9-128


Perishable Products

• Inventory for perishable products or services


pose an interesting problem:
• If too much or too many are ordered, the
cost of the inventory is similar to a carrying
cost, while ordering too few has the cost of
contribution forgone from the lost sale.
