Study Notes
Master Budgets Overview
- Master budgets consist of individual budgets, prepared in the following order: Sales Budget, Production Budget, Direct Materials, Direct Labor, and Factory Overhead Budgets, and Cash Budgets.
Sales Expectations
- Product X sales are projected to increase by 10% monthly, starting from 400 units in January, leading to total sales of $13,240 for the first quarter.
Budgeted Performance Considerations
- Budgeted performance evaluation involves assessing Economic, Company, and Industry Factors against a benchmark.
Short-term Budgets
- Short-term budgets primarily aim to evaluate performance and facilitate corrective measures.
Production Budget Characteristics
- The production budget is unique as it indicates quantities only, not costs, and serves as the foundational budget in the master budget process.
Continuous Budgeting
- A continuous budget is revisited and updated regularly as time progresses.
Production Needs Calculation
- Units to be produced in January are calculated to be 26,500, based on sales projections and inventory requirements.
Manufacturing Budgeting
- A manufacturing company does not typically prepare a Merchandise Inventory Budget.
Master Budget Preparation
- The process of preparing the master budget begins with the Sales Budget.
Management Control
- The control function in budgeting requires management to evaluate operational effectiveness against predetermined norms.
Material Purchases Formula
- The required materials for purchase can be determined using the formula: Units to produce x materials needed per unit + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory = materials to purchase.
Direct Labor Cost Calculation
- The budgeted direct labor cost formula is: Units to produce x direct labor hours per unit x direct labor rate = total direct labor cost.
Production and Inventory Goals
- For the second quarter, producing 509 units requires consideration of beginning and desired ending inventory amounts.
Overhead Cost Calculation
- Total budgeted overhead costs combine fixed costs and variable costs derived from budgeted labor hours and overhead rates.
Product Cost Analysis
- Total product costs per unit are derived from direct materials, labor, variable overhead, and fixed overhead, resulting in specified per unit costs.
Cash Flow Management
- A company's preliminary cash balance can be determined by assessing cash receipts, payments, and outstanding loans.
General and Administrative Expenses
- Total general and administrative expenses must be calculated based on all relevant costs, including salaries, commissions, advertising, and depreciation.
Capital Expenditures Budget
- Reports on expected cash receipts and cash payments related to plant asset transactions are prepared in the capital expenditures budget.
Loan Management
- Maintaining a minimum cash balance is essential; surplus cash can be utilized for loan repayments.
Cash Receipts and Sales Collection
- Effective cash flow management includes tracking collections from credit sales as they convert into cash in subsequent periods.
Budgeting for Fixed Costs
- Companies must anticipate fixed costs in budgeting to ensure overall financial stability.
Budgeted Balance Sheet
- The budgeted balance sheet forecasts the company's assets, liabilities, and equity at the end of the budget period.
