Chapter 5 Strategy and Master Budget - Compress
CHAPTER 15
I. Questions
1. No. Planning and control are different, although related, concepts.
Planning involves developing objectives and formulating steps to
achieve those objectives. Control, by contrast, involves the means by
which management ensures that the objectives set down at the planning
stage are attained.
2. Budgets have a dual purpose, for planning and for following up the
implementation of the plan. The great benefits from budgeting lie in the
quick investigation of deviations and in the subsequent corrective action.
Budgets should not be prepared in the first place if they are ignored,
buried in files, or improperly interpreted.
3. Two major features of a budgetary program are (1) the accounting
techniques which developed it and (2) the human factors which
administer it. The human factors are far more important. The success of
a budgetary system depends upon its acceptance by the company
members who are affected by the budget. Without a thoroughly
educated and cooperative management group at all levels of
responsibility, budgets are a drain on the funds of the business and are a
hindrance instead of help to efficient operations.
4. Manufacturing overhead costs are budgeted at normal operating capacity,
and the costs are applied to the products using a predetermined rate. The
predetermined rate is computed by dividing a factor that can be
identified with both the products and the overhead into the overhead
budgeted at the normal operating capacity. Budgets may also be used in
costing products in a standard cost accounting system.
5. The production division operates to produce the products that are sold.
Production and sales must be coordinated. Products must be
manufactured so that they will be available to meet sales delivery dates.
Activity of the production division will depend upon the sales that can
be made. Also, the sales division is limited by the capabilities of the
production department in manufacturing products. Successful operations
depend upon a coordination of sales and production.
15-1
Chapter 15 Functional and Activity-Based Budgeting
6. Labor hour required for production can be translated into labor pesos by
multiplying the number of hours budgeted by the appropriate labor rates.
The rates to be used will depend upon the rates established for job
classifications and the policy with respect to premium pay for overtime
or shift differences.
7. A long-range plan for the acquisition of plant assets is broken down and
entered in the current budget as the plan unfolds. The portion of the plan
which is to be executed in the next year is included in the budget for that
year.
8. A budget period is not limited to any particular unit of time. At a
minimum, a budget should cover at least one operating cycle. For
example, a budget should not cover a period when purchasing activity is
high and omit the period when sales volume and cash collection are
relatively high. The budget period should encompass the entire cycle
extending from the purchasing operation to the subsequent sale of the
products and the realization of the sales in cash. Ordinarily, a budget of
operations is prepared for a year which in turn is divided into quarters
and months. Long-term budgets, such as budgets for projects or capital
investments, may extend five to ten years or more into the future.
9. A rolling budget or a progressive budget or sometimes called continuous
budget, is a budget which is prepared throughout the year. As one month
elapses, a budget is prepared for one more month in the future. At any
one time for example, the company will have a budget for one year into
the future, when July of one year is over, a budget for the following July
will be added at the other end of the budget. This process of adding a
new month as a month expires is continuous.
10. Variances that are revealed by a comparison of actual results with a
budget are investigated if it appears that an investigation is warranted.
The investigation may show that stricter control measures are needed or
that some weaknesses in the operation should be corrected. It may also
reveal that the budget plan should be revised. The comparison is one
step in the control and direction of business operations.
11. A comparison of actual results with a budget can contribute information
that can be applied in the preparation of better budgets in the future.
Subsequent investigation of variances provides management with a
better knowledge of operations. This knowledge can be applied in the
preparation of more realistic budgets for subsequent fiscal periods.
12. A self-imposed budget is one in which persons with responsibility over
cost control prepare their own budgets, i.e., the budget is not imposed
from above. The major advantages are: (1) the views and judgments of

Notice that even though sales peak in August, cash collections peak in
September. This occurs because the bulk of the company’s customers pay in
the month following sale. The lag in collections that this creates is even
more pronounced in some companies. Indeed, it is not unusual for a
company to have the least cash available in the months when sales are
greatest.
