CHAPTER 5
Answers to Questions
1. A budget is a detailed quantitative plan for the acquisition and use of financial and other
resources over a given time period. Budgetary control involves the use of budgets to control the
actual activities of a firm.
2. 1. Budgets communicate management’s plans throughout the organization.
2. Budgets force managers to think about and plan for the future.
3. The budgeting process provides a means of allocating resources to those parts of the
organization where they can be used most effectively.
4. The budgeting process can uncover potential bottlenecks before they occur.
5. Budgets coordinate the activities of the entire organization by integrating the plans of its
various parts. Budgeting helps to ensure that everyone in the organization is pulling in the
same direction.
6. Budgets define goals and objectives that can serve as benchmarks for evaluating subsequent
performance.
3. A master budget represents a summary of all of management’s plans and goals for the future, and
outlines the way in which these plans are to be accomplished. The master budget is composed of
a number of smaller, specific budgets encompassing sales, production, raw materials, direct labor,
manufacturing overhead, selling and administrative expenses, and inventories. The master budget
generally also contains a budgeted income statement, budgeted statement of financial position,
and cash budget.
4. The flow of budgeting information moves in two directions—upward and downward. The initial
flow should be from the bottom of the organization upward. Each person having responsibility
over revenues or costs should prepare the budget data against which his or her subsequent
performance will be measured. As the budget data are communicated upward, higher-level
managers should review the budgets for consistency with the overall goals of the organization and
the plans of other units in the organization. Any issues should be resolved in discussions between
the individuals who prepared the budgets and their managers.
All levels of an organization should participate in the budgeting process—not just top
management or the accounting department. Generally, the lower levels will be more familiar with
detailed, day-to-day operating data, and for this reason will have primary responsibility for
developing the specifics in the budget. Top levels of management should have a better perspective
concerning the company’s strategy.
5. Budgeting can assist a company forecast its workforce staffing needs through direct labor and
other budgets. By careful planning through the budget process, a company can often smooth out
its activities and avoid erratic hiring and laying off employees.
6. 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.
7. 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
5-1
subsequent corrective action. Budgets should not be prepared in the first place if they are
ignored, buried in files, or improperly interpreted.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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
5-2
management with a better knowledge of operations. This knowledge can be applied in the
preparation of more realistic budgets for subsequent fiscal periods.
17. 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 persons from all levels of an organization are represented in the final budget
document; (2) budget estimates generally are more accurate and reliable, since they are prepared
by those who are closest to the problems; (3) managers generally are more motivated to meet
budgets which they have participated in setting; (4) self-imposed budgets reduce the amount of
upward “blaming” resulting from inability to meet budget goals. One caution must be exercised
in the use of self-imposed budgets. The budgets prepared by lower-level managers should be
carefully reviewed to prevent too much slack.
18. No, although this is clearly one of the purposes of the cash budget. The principal purpose is to
provide information on probable cash needs during the budget period, so that bank loans and
other sources of financing can be anticipated and arranged well in advance of the actual time of
need.
19. Zero-based budgeting requires that managers start at zero levels every year and justify all costs as
if all programs were being proposed for the first time. In traditional budgeting, by contrast,
budget data are usually generated on an incremental basis, with last year’s budget being the
starting point.

Answer to Exercises
Requirement 1
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
5-3
to have the least cash available in the months when sales are greatest.

Required production 43,000 56,000 59,500 30,500
Requirement 2
During July and August the company is building inventories in anticipation of peak sales in
September. Therefore, production exceeds sales during these months. In September and October
inventories are being reduced in anticipation of a decrease in sales during the last months of the year.
Therefore, production is less than sales during these months to cut back on inventory levels.
Requirement 3
* 30,500 units (October production) × 3 lbs. per unit= 91,500 lbs.; 91,500 lbs. ×
0.5 = 45,750 lbs.
As shown in requirement (1), production is greatest in September. However, as shown in the raw
material purchases budget, the purchases of materials is greatest a month earlier because materials
must be on hand to support the heavy production scheduled for September.

If the company needs a minimum cash balance of P20,000 to start each month, the loan cannot be
repaid in full by June 30. If the loan is repaid in full, the cash balance will drop to only P9,000 on
June 30, as shown above. Some portion of the loan balance will have to be carried over to July, at
which time the cash inflow should be sufficient to complete repayment.
