Master Budget Components
Sales -> Production -> DM/DL/FO -> Cash -> Budgeted Financial Statement
or
Sales -> Capital Expenditure/ Selling Gen. Admin. Expenses -> Cash -> Budgeted Financial Statement
How To Develop Sales Budget
estimate both unit sales and selling price per unit
Production Budget:
shows number of units to be produced each period to meet budgeted sales and desired inventory levels
-always shown in units of product not cost
Units To Produce Formula=
Budgeted Ending Inventory + Budgeted Sales Units - Budgeted Finished Goods Inventory
Safety Stock
Companies will keep enough inventory on hand to protect against lost sales caused by unfulfilled demands from customers or delays in shipment from suppliers
Direct Materials Budget
Shows budgeted costs for direct materials that must be purchased to meet the budgeted production
Materials To Be Purchased Formula =
(Units to Produce x Materials Required Per Unit) + Desired Ending Materials Inventory - Beginning Materials Inventory
Direct Labor Budget
Shows budgeted costs for direct labor that will be needed for the budgeted production for the period
Direct Labor Budget Formula =
Units To Produce x DL Hours Required Per Unit x DL Cost Per Hour
Factory OH Budget
Shows the budgeted costs for factory overhead needed to complete the budgeted production for the period
Factory OH Budget Formula =
(Direct Labor Hours Needed x Variable OH Rate) + Budgeted Fixed OH
Budgeted COGS Formula =
Budgeted Sales x Budgeted Cost Per Unit
Budgeted Cost Per Unit Formula =
DM + DL + Variable OH + Fixed OH
Selling Expense Budget
-Based on sales volume
-Shows types and amounts of selling expense during budget period
-Includes: Sales commissions, salary of sales manager, advertising, delivery expenses
General and Administrative Expense Budget:
-Reports gen and admin expenses expected during the budget period
-Includes: Admin salaries, property taxes, office expenses, insurance, depreciation on non manufacturing assets
Capital Expenditure Budget(Investing Budget)
-Reports expected cash receipts and cash payments related to the sale and purchase of plant assets
-Usually prepared after operating budgets
Cash Budget(Financing Budget)
-Shows budgeted cash receipts and payments during budget period
-Most companies keep a minimum cash balance
Preliminary Cash Balance Formula =
Beginning Cash Balance + Budgeted Cash Receipts - Budgeted Cash Payments
If Preliminary Cash Balance Is Above Minimum Balance Required =
Repay loans
If Preliminary Cash Balance Is Below Minimum Balance Required =
Increase loans
Cash Receipts From Sales Include:
-Expected Cash sales from sales budget
-Expected Cash collections of AR
-Other expected cash receipts such as interest revenue or sale of assets
Budgeted Income Statement
-Report showing budgeted amount of sales and expenses
-Summarized the income effect of the previously prepared budgets
-Income tax expense predicted at this level
Budgeted Balance Sheet
-Shows budgeted amounts for assets, liabilities, and equity as of end of the budget period
-Prepared using information from other budgets
Budgeting For Service Companies
also use master budgets but typically need fewer operating budgets than manufacturers.
-Sales, DL, Cash, Capital Expenditures, Selling Gen and Admin Expense, Budgeted Financial Statments
Budgeted Direct Labor Cost Formula =
Budgeted DL Hours x DL Cost Per Hour
Revenue Per Employee Formula =
Total Revenue / Total # Employees
Budget Reports
Compare budgeted result to actual results
What Is The Master Budget Based On?
Predicted levels of activity, such as sales volume
Fixed Budgeting
A fixed budget(static budget) is based on one predicted level of sales or other activity measure
Flexible Budgeting
A flexible budget(variable budget) is based on more than one level of sales or activity level
-more useful when actual results are different from predicted
Fixed Budget Performance Report
Compares actual results with planning activities
-shows budgeted amounts, actual amounts and variances
Favorable Vairance
Actual income is higher than budgeted income
-when actual revenue> budgeted revenue
-when actual costs < budgeted costs
Unfavorable Variance
Actual Income is lower than budgeted income
-when actual revenue < budgeted revenue
-when actual costs > budgeted costs
Preparing a flexible budget before vs after the period
-Before: provides different what if scenarios
-After: evaluate performance
Preparing A Flexible Budget Steps:
1) Identify activity levels (units produced or sold)
2) Identify costs and classify as variable or fixed
3) Compute budgeted sales (sales per unit x units of activity)
Total Budgeted Cost Formula=
Total Fixed Cost + (Total Variable Cost Per Unit x Units Of Activities)
Does Management Focus On Small Or Large Variances?
Large
Standard Costing
Standard costs are preset costs for delivering a product or service under normal conditions
