62. Define the term "budgeting." Describe the benefits and costs of implementing a
budgeting process.
Answer:
Budgeting is the process of expressing a company's goals and objectives in quantitative
terms. It is a crucial part of the planning process. A budget outlines how resources are
expected to be obtained from, and used by operating, investing, and financing activities
of the business during a specified period of time.

The primary benefits of budgeting are:


(a) Planning - a budget presents and describes the financial ramifications of plans for the
future. It requires individuals to consider possible future courses of actions and the
resources needed to accomplish the various alternatives.
(b) Communication and Coordination - budgeting promotes communication and
coordination among divisions or departments within a company. Managers must
understand the interaction among the departments and how the actions of one department
affect another.
(c) Resource Allocation - budgeting aids resource allocation by ensuring that scarce
resources are utilized for the activities most needed by the company. Activities are
analyzed to determine if they add value to the company.
(d) Evaluation and Control - a budget serves as a useful benchmark against which to
evaluate and control actual performance. The process consists of comparing actual
performance results to the budget to determine what areas deviated from the planned
activities and whether corrective actions are necessary.

The primary costs of budgeting are:


(a) Time and Resource Requirements - budgeting is time consuming and costly,
involving numerous individuals throughout the company.
(b) Adaptability of Departments of the Business - budgets are often rigidly adhered to,
inhibiting a department from responding to changes in the environment.
(c) Motivation and Behavior of Individuals - individuals preparing budgets may be
motivated to misrepresent future expectations, building in budgetary slack or padding the
budget.

information?
Answer:

volume depends, to some extent, on the sales price. Estimating the sales volume involves
analysis of past sales levels and trends; surveys of customers; demographic analysis;
analysis of economic, political, legal, competitive, and social trends; and analysis of plans
for promotion.

64. Describe how the sales budget is related to the production budget.
Answer:
The production budget depends on the number of units the company expects to sell,
which is taken from the sales budget. Once the number of units the company expects to
sell is determined the production budget shows when the goods will be produced.

65. Describe the relationship between the Production Budget used in Conversion Process
Planning and the Direct Materials Purchase Budget and the Direct Labor and Overhead
Budget used in the Expenditure Planning Process.
Answer:
The Production Budget describes the units that must be produced in a particular time
period but not the cost of the production. The Direct Materials Budget describes the
expected cost of the direct materials necessary to produce the projected production of a
particular time period. The Direct Labor and Overhead Budget describes the expected
cost of the direct labor and overhead necessary to produce the project production of a
particular time period.

66. In the budgeting process a company can use either an ideal for normal standard. What is
the difference between an ideal standard and a normal standard? What impact do you
think each would have on employee morale?
Answer:
An ideal standard is based on the assumption that the company can operate at near
perfection. Normal standards are based on a more realistic assumption that inefficiencies
will occur and that the budget should take these into consideration. Employees realize
that ideal standards are not achievable which would impair their motivation to achieve
company goals. Normal standard might not motivate employees to do their best the
standards have inefficiencies built into the budgetary process and will not challenge
workers to work harder.

69. Logan Enterprises' unit production is budgeted for the first six months of its upcoming
fiscal year as follows:

Ainsworth/Deines, Introduction to Accounting: An Integrated Approach, 6/e 115


Chapter 6: Planning, the Balanced Scorecard, and Budgeting

Jan 142,000 April 154,500 July 130,000


Feb 137,500 May 165,500
March 127,000 June 140,000

Each unit of product requires 20 pounds of raw material that Logan purchases for $3.50
per pound. The company began the month of March with 13,160 pounds of raw material
but wants its ending inventory of raw material to be 2% of the next month's production
requirements beginning with the end of March.

Logan pays for 20% of its purchases in the month of purchase, with the remainder paid
the following month. Determine the amount of planned cash disbursements for purchases
of raw materials for April, May and June.
Answer:
Purchases of Raw Materials:

March:127,000 + 3,090 – 13,160 = 116,930 x 20 pounds x $3.50 per pound = $8,185,100


April:154,500 + 3,310 - 3,090 = 154,720 x 20 pounds x $3.50 per pound = $10,830,400
May: 165,500 + 2,800 – 3,310 = 164,990 x 20 pounds x $3.50 per pound = $11,549,300
June: 140,000 + 2,600 – 2,800 = 139,800 x 20 pounds x $3.50 per pound = $9,786,000

April May June


Disbursements 20% $2,166,080 $2,309,860 $1,957,200
Disbursements 80% 6,548,080 8,664,320 9,239,440
