4. Benefits of Budgeting

5. Performance Report • Identifies areas where the actual results differed from the budget

6. Steps Managers Take To Prepare A Budget • Master budget—the set of budgeted financial statements and supporting schedules for the entire organization • Budget includes three types of budgets: • The operating budget • Projects sales revenue, cost of goods sold, and operating expenses • The capital expenditures budget • The plan for purchasing property, plant, equipment, and other long-term assets • The financial budget • Plans for raising cash and paying debts • Contain projected amounts, not actual amounts

9. Prepare an operating budget • First three components • Sales budget • Inventory, purchases, and cost of goods sold budget • Operating expenses • Feed into the budgeted income statement

10. Sales Budget • Cornerstone of master budget • Level of sales affect all other elements • Projected sales are calculated as: • Each product multiplied by expected units sold

11. Inventory, Purchases, and Cost of Goods Sold Budget • Budget determines: • Cost of goods sold for the budgeted income statement • Ending inventory for the budgeted balance sheet • Purchases for the cash budget • Familiar equation is used • Beginning inventory + Purchases – Ending inventory = Cost of goods sold • Rearrange equation to solve for unknowns • Purchases = Cost of goods sold + Ending inventory – Beginning inventory

13. Inventory, Purchases, and Cost of Goods Sold Budget • 70% cost of goods sold figure uses sales budget created earlier • Desired ending inventory is derived from company policies • Desired ending inventory becomes beginning inventory for next period (month, quarter, or year)

14. Operating Expense Budget • Prepared after sales budget and cost of goods sold budget • Shows estimated expenses for the period • Includes fixed and/or variable expenses • Examples: • Fixed and variable salaries, commissions • Rent • Insurance • Advertising • Miscellaneous • Look at prior income statements

Grippers’ target ending inventory is $10,000 plus 50% of the next month’s cost of goods sold. • Use this information and the sales budget prepared in S22-3 to prepare Grippers’ inventory, purchases, and cost of goods sold budget for January and February.

22. Budgeted Cash Collections from Customers • Cash collections from customers • Cash sales from the sales budget • Collections of prior month’s credit sales

23. Budgeted Cash Payments for Purchases • Payments for operating expenses • Payments during the month of purchase—assume 50% • Payments following the month of purchase—assume 50% x 50%

25.

30. S22-5: Preparing a financial budget Refer to the Grippers sales budget that you prepared in S22-3. Now assume that Grippers’ sales are collected as follows: November sales totaled $400,000 and December sales were $425,000. 50% in the month of the sale 30% in the month after the sale 18% two months after the sale 2% never collected Prepare a schedule for the budgeted cash collections for January and February.

36. Using Information Technology for Sensitivity Analysis and Rolling Up Unit Budgets • Technology makes it more cost-effective for managers to: • Conduct sensitivity analysis on their own unit’s budget • Combine individual unit budgets to create the companywide master budget • Master budget models the company’s planned activities • Must support key strategies

37. Sensitivity Analysis and Rolling Up Unit Budgets • Sensitivity analysis • What-if technique that determines the result if predicted amounts differ from those budgeted • Spreadsheet programs used for budgeting make sensitivity analysis cost-effective • What-if budget questions easily changed within Excel with a few keystrokes • Makes it cost-effective to perform more comprehensive sensitivity analyses • Managers react quickly if key assumptions underlying the master budget (such as sales price or quantity) turn out to be wrong

38. Rolling Up Individual Budgets

39. Rolling Up Individual Budgets • Individual operating units roll up budgets to prepare company-wide budget • Budget management software is used • Often part of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system • Allows management to conduct sensitivity analysis on unit data • Managers can spend less time compiling and summarizing data and more time analyzing it

40. S22-9: Using sensitivity analysis in budgeting Maplehaven Sporting Goods Store has the following sales budget: Suppose June sales are expected to be $80,000 rather than $64,000.

41. Responsibility Accounting • A system for evaluating the performance of each responsibility center and its manager • A responsibility center is the part of the organization for which a particular manager is responsible • Is a part of the organization for which a manager has decision-making authority and accountability • Four types: • Cost center • Revenue center • Profit center • Investment center • Decentralization highlights the need for reports on individual segments

42. Responsibility Centers Goal is to control cost Goal is to increase revenues Goal is to increase profits Goal is to increase ROI, EVA, & residual income

43. Responsibility Accounting Performance Reports • Performance reports compare budgeted and actual amounts • Reporting at all levels: • Division (investment centers) • Product lines (profit centers) • Production (cost centers) • Sales (revenue centers) • Management by exception • Shows variances between actual and budgeted amounts

44. Level of report detail decreases as reports go to higher levels

45. Learn about Service Departments • Departments that provide services to multiple departments or divisions for the company • Usually do not generate revenues • Similar to the shared production overhead • Nonproduction related service departments

46. Traceable Fixed Costs • Costs directly associated with an individual product, division, or business segment • Would disappear if the company discontinued the product , division or segment • Assigning traceable fixed costs • Splitting the cost equally–not fair • Based on use of the services–fair • Small users charged less • Larger users charged more • Identify cost drivers (ABC costing) suitable for assigning traceable service department charges • Common service departments listed on next slide

48. Responsibility Accounting Reports • Show the results of the segment or division for which a particular manager is responsible
