  3. Enterprise Budgeting What is the purpose enterprise budget? • Identify the most profitable enterprises to be included in a whole-farm plan • To calculate cost of production for an output • Make decisions on production vs. purchase for intermediate products AGEC 407

  4. Enterprise Budgeting • Usually done on a per unit basis (i.e. per acre or per head) • Is an economic budget • Includes applicable opportunity costs • Should use profit maximizing input/output levels • Enterprise budget includes: • Revenue • Variable Costs • Fixed Costs AGEC 407

  5. Enterprise Budgeting • Variable costs • A.k.a. Operating or Direct costs • Exist only as a result of production from this enterprise • Fixed costs • A.k.a. Ownership or Indirect costs • Would exist even if enterprise production was zero • Are allocated across enterprises • Must be related to enterprise production • include relevant opportunity costs AGEC 407

  6. Revenue • Price x yield • Product-specific payments • USDA program payments • Income from by-products AGEC 407
