Questions
1.
The diversity of resources used, activities conducted, and
quantities of funds provided/used make budgeting important to
business. Since there is no assurance of the continuity of
management, written plans are more useful than spoken plans to
define and communicate the direction of the business. Further,
psychologically, writing plans down is the first step in gaining
commitment to those plans.
2.
The basic budgeting process begins with planning. This planning
involves the setting of objectives and translating those
objectives into required activities and needed resources. The
process also includes a control function of measuring whether the
predetermined objectives have been successfully attained and
providing feedback to concerned and involved parties.
3.
A budget is considered a communication device because it
indicates what is to be accomplished over a certain time period.
It helps to promote unity of goals throughout the organization
because it should have been developed following an exchange of
ideas and information among the people in the organization.
4.
Budgeting translates goals and objectives into the required
resources, activities, and arrangements needed to accomplish
those goals and objectives. The translation is extended to
assign activities and allocate resources to departments and
personnel who are responsible for execution of the budget.
5.
The strategic plan defines the basic purposes and goals of an
organization. As such, the strategic plan identifies the key
variables that will largely determine the success of the
organization. Some of the major factors taken into account in
formulating the strategic plan include the state of the local
and global economy, trends in technology and materials, and
the legislative and political climates.

6.
Longer term plans contain insufficient detail to direct a
business. Although the longer term plans provide general
direction for a business, they are too vague to provide
guidance on a daytoday basis. Consequently, shorter term
plans are compiled to implement the longer term plans for a
specific period. The shorter term plans can be made with
greater attention given to current organizational and
environmental constraints (current market, material and labor
conditions). Also, the roles of specific middle and lower
level managers can be determined in the detailed shortterm
plans.
7.
The budget represents the cornerstone for a company’s
management planning system. Budgeting utilizes goals,
objectives, and forecasts in developing plans for production,
revenues, costs, cash flows, and resource procurement.
Budgeting originates with strategic planning. As goals are
implemented and programs developed, management needs
information about various alternatives so they can be
evaluated. When a specific plan of action is determined, the
budget becomes management’s master plan.
8.
Control is really an extension of planning rather than a
separate managerial function. Without formal planning, there
can be little control.
9.
Budgets serve as planning tools by providing an a priori view
of what is expected to happen in the organization for a
specific period of time. After the period, the budgets serve
as a benchmark against which actual performance can be
compared. Because participants know there will be an after
thefact comparison between the actual performance and the
budget, they are more attentive to the budget in the planning
and implementation phases.
10.
An operating budget presents units expected to be sold or used
by a company and the price/costs associated with those units.
The sales and production budgets are operating budgets.
Financial budgets detail the funds to be generated or
used during the budget period (cash budget and capital
expenditure budget). The results from the operating budgets
are the sources of input for the financial budgets. For
example, sales projected in the sales budget impact the cash
collections/receipts portion of the cash budget.
11.
The master budget is "demand driven" in that it is based in
its entirety on projected sales. In some cases, demand does
not "exist" at the point the budget is prepared (for example,
when the company is introducing a new product). Without sales
or expected sales, the company would have no need to acquire
resources or remain in operation.

12.
Managers estimate collections from sales through historical
company data on collection patterns, industry trends/patterns,
and judgment. Current economic information can play an
important part in estimating the collection pattern since
inflation/deflation, interest rates, and employment affect
both business and consumer ability to pay.
Cash collections are important in the budgeting process
because of their impact on the cash budget and the
availability of funds with which to make disbursements for
operating and capital expenditures, and ownership
distributions.
13.
The production and purchases budgets are similar in that they
both begin with a key variable to their particular area, add
ending inventory, and subtract beginning inventory. These
budgets differ in that the key variable for the production
area is sales, but the key variable for purchases is
production. The production budget is used to schedule needed
material, labor, and overhead. The purchases budget is used to
determine the amount and timing of material input to the
production process as well as provide input into the cash
budget as to the amount and timing of cash disbursements for
such purchases.
14.
To predict overhead cost for a specific volume of production,
costs must be separated into those that are volume dependent
(variable costs), and those that are volume independent (fixed
costs). The expected overhead for a given period is the sum
of the projected fixed cost plus the total variable cost. The
total variable cost is a function of the variable cost per
unit and the expected volume of production.
15.
Cash is a very important resource for an organization because
it is the medium of exchange for organizational inputs and
outputs. A shortage of cash creates liquidity problems and may
prevent the firm from acquiring inputs that are crucial to its
survival. A firm can cover periods of cash shortages with
loans, equity sales, or sales of assets.
16.
A company needs to maintain a minimum cash balance simply to
have funds on hand in the event of an emergency or in the
event that the budget does not "work out" exactly as planned.
If cash collections are lower or cash disbursements are higher
than expected, the minimum cash balance provides a cushion or
margin of safety to fall back on. It is also possible that the
company’s bank requires a minimum cash balance in the
corporate account as either a condition of the account or as a
compensating balance for an outstanding loan.
Chapter 13
The Master Budget
91
17.
Future sales are the primary source for future cash
collections. Consequently, the firm's future sales and its
collections policy, which is reflected in its current and
projected accounts receivable balance, are the primary
determinants of the amounts and timing of future cash
collections.
18.
Pro forma financial statements give managers a preview of how
things will turn out if actual activities conform to budgeted
activities. If managers are not pleased with what is
revealed, they are in a position to adjust their plans and
actions.
19.
The pro forma financial statements serve two primary purposes;
they are useful summary performance measures of the operating
plans and they may highlight organizational constraints that
cannot be identified in the other budgets. For example,
contracts with creditors may require the company to maintain a
certain interest coverage ratio or a particular debttoasset
ratio. Only the pro forma income statement and balance sheet
would provide confidence that the firm would be in compliance
with these contractual requirements.
20.
They are similar in that they both focus on the balance of
cash and explain the change in cash balance over a period of
time. However, there are substantial differences between the
two. For example, the cash budget typically covers shorter
time periods and has as its primary objective the
identification of periods of cash shortages and cash excesses.
The statement of cash flows has as its primary purpose the
identification of the activities (operating, investing, and
financing) that explain the change in the cash balance for a
period.
21.
The process of continuous budgeting provides an on going 12
month period of planning for managers. The planning horizon
does not change and keeps management aware of the need for
foresight and the ramifications of their activities.
22.
Budgetary slack results from an overestimation of expected
expenses or an underestimation of expected revenues so that
the budget will be more easily achieved. Because managerial
performance is evaluated based on a comparison of actual and
budgeted performance, the actual performance will appear to be
more favorable if sufficient slack is impounded in the budget.
92

23.
Employees are more likely to attempt to achieve objectives
that they had a part in setting than ones that were imposed on
them. Participation also substantially increases the
acceptance of budget requirements, such as monetary or other
resource constraints. Empirical literature has shown that
there is a high degree of correspondence between the
participatory budgeting process and job satisfaction. Finally,
helping in the budgeting process may result in a higher degree
of commitment to the organization (not just its goals).

A number of actions are possible depending largely on the
operating climate of the firm. Many of the actions that
could be taken can fit within one of the three groupings
that follow.
1.
Increase the staffing level. A larger staff is a
reasonable alternative only if there is an
expectation that billings can be increased well
above the budgeted level if the firm were allowed to
grow.
2.
Reduce the budgeted billings level and try to
maintain the budgeted level of earnings by cutting
costs. In selecting activities to cut, the firm
would try to identify those activities that are not
value adding.
3.
Try to selectively cut down the size of the business
by dropping those clients that contribute the least
to the bottom line. This action requires the firm
to have knowledge about the relative profitability
of the various services it offers and the relative
amounts of profits generated by various classes of
clients (large, small, industry group, tax service,
audit, etc.).

Supporting calculations:
(1) 100,000 members × $100 = $10,000,000
(2) $12,000,000 × 70% = $8,400,000
(3) $12,000,000 × 12% = $1,440,000
(4) $5,600,000 × 12% = $672,000
(5) $1,000,000/10 = $100,000
(6) $960,000/12 = $80,000
(7) ($240,000 $24,000)/12 = $18,000
(8) $240,000/12 = $20,000

The most important operating problem faced by CME, Inc. is the
shortterm liquidity. During the first six months expenditures
($14.5 million) are forecasted to be slightly more than double
the revenue ($7.2 million). This will necessitate shortterm
borrowing during the second and third quarters of the year.
The second most important problem is that the cash
expenditures are forecasted to exceed revenue by $50,000 and
this could be further compounded by interest for shortterm
borrowing, which apparently has not been forecasted. The fees
do not fully support the seminars. The total of the facility
costs and the faculty costs exceed the seminar revenue.
