BUDGET ANALYSIS

Our firm, which creates cardamom sweet potato chips, has a five-year budget. Fixed
expenditures such as factory rent, insurance, salesperson and management salary, van driver
remuneration, and asset depreciation have remained relatively constant throughout time.
However, because the company was a startup looking to expand, the fixed costs had changed
slightly. Variable costs have changed during the previous five years as a result of changes in
production levels, increased spending, inflation, and other market concerns. Variable costs
such as raw materials, production power, general expenditures, inbound transportation, and so
on fluctuate during the course of five years based on product demand. The firm's key cost
driver is raw materials, which have consistently risen by 5% each year (year 2 and on) over
the years. The second significant variable expense is travel, which has increased by 5% every
year (year 2 and on) since we believe it advertises the product, attracts consumers, and
differentiates it from competitors. It is a type of investment for the firm. Furthermore, we
have increased our advertising budget in recent years in order to encourage sales, educate our
customers about how our goods help them become more environmentally conscious.
