ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

 1. (a) A budget is a formal written statement of management’s plans for a specified future time period,
expressed in financial terms.
(b) A budget aids management in planning because it represents the primary method of commu-
nicating agreed-upon objectives throughout the organization. Once adopted, a budget becomes
an important basis for evaluating performance.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 4 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Decision Modeling IMA: Budget Preparation

 2. The primary benefits of budgeting are:


(1) It requires all levels of management to plan ahead and to formalize goals on a recurring basis.
(2) It provides definite objectives for evaluating performance at each level of responsibility.
(3) It creates an early warning system for potential problems, so that management can make
changes before things get out of hand.
(4) It facilitates the coordination of activities within the business by correlating the goals of
each segment with overall company objectives.
(5) It results in greater management awareness of the entity’s overall operations and the
impact of external factors such as economic trends.
(6) It motivates personnel throughout the organization to meet planned objectives.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 5 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Decision Modeling IMA: Budget Preparation

 3. The essentials of effective budgeting are: (1) a sound organizational structure, (2) research and
analysis, and (3) acceptance by all levels of management.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Decision Modeling IMA: Budget Preparation

 4. (a) Disagree. Accounting information makes major contributions to the budgeting process. Accounting
provides the starting point of budgeting by providing historical data on revenues, costs, and
expenses. An accountant becomes the translator of the budget and communicates the budget
to all areas of responsibility. Accountants also prepare periodic budget reports that compare
actual results with planned objectives and provide a basis for evaluating performance.
(b) The budget itself, and the administration of the budget, are the responsibility of management.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 5 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Decision Modeling IMA: Budget Preparation

 5. The budget period should be long enough to provide an attainable goal under normal business
conditions. The budget period should minimize the impact of seasonal and cyclical business
fluctuations, but it should not be so long that reliable estimates are impossible. The most common
budget period is one year.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 3 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Decision Modeling IMA: Budget Preparation

 6. Disagree. Long-range planning usually encompasses a period of at least five years. It involves
the selection of strategies to achieve long-term goals and the development of policies and plans to
implement the strategies. In addition, long-range planning reports contain considerably less detail
than budget reports.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 3 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Decision Modeling IMA: Budget Preparation

 7. Participative budgeting involves the use of a “bottom-to-top” approach, which requires input from
lower level management during the budgeting process so as to involve employees from various
levels and areas within the company. The potential benefits of this approach are lower-level
managers have more detailed knowledge of the specifics of their job, and thus should
be able to provide better budgetary estimates. In addition, by involving lower-level managers in
the process, it is more likely that they will perceive the budget as being fair and reasonable. One
disadvantage of participative budgeting is that it takes more time, and thus costs more. Another

9-4 Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.   Weygandt, Managerial Accounting, 8/e, Solutions Manual   (For Instructor Use Only)
disadvantage of participative budgeting is that it may enable managers to game the system
through such practices as budgetary slack.

Questions Chapter 9 (Continued)

 8. Budgetary slack is the amount by which a manager intentionally underestimates budgeted
revenues or overestimates budgeted expenses in order to make it easier to achieve budgetary
goals. Managers may have an incentive to create budgetary slack in order to increase the likelihood of
receiving a bonus, or decrease the likelihood of losing their job.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 3 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Decision Modeling IMA: Budget Preparation

 9. A master budget is a set of interrelated budgets that constitutes a plan of action for a specified
time period. The master budget is developed within the framework of a sales forecast.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Decision Modeling IMA: Budget Preparation

10. The sales budget is the starting point in preparing the master budget. An inaccurate sales budget
may adversely affect net income. An overly optimistic sales budget may result in excessive
inventories and a very conservative sales budget may lead to inventory shortages.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Decision Modeling IMA: Budget Preparation

11. The statement is false. The production budget only shows the units that must be produced to meet
anticipated sales and ending inventory requirements.
LO2 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Decision Modeling IMA: Budget Preparation

12. The required units of production are 155,000 (160,000 + 15,000 = 175,000 – 20,000 = 155,000).
LO2 BT: AP Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: Analytic AICPA FC: Decision Modeling IMA: Budget Preparation
(160,000 + 15,000 – 20,000 = 155,000)
(Bud. sales + Desired end. inv. – Beg. inv. = Req. units of production)

13. The desired ending direct materials units are 21,000 (64,000 + 9,000 = 73,000 – 52,000 = 21,000).
LO2 BT: AP Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: Analytic AICPA FC: Decision Modeling IMA: Budget Preparation
(64,000 + 9,000 – 52,000 = 21,000)
(Req. purch. + Beg. inv. – Req. for production = Desired end. inv.)

14. Total budgeted direct labor costs are $960,000 (80,000 X .75 X $16 = $960,000).

(80,000 x .75 x $16 = $960,000)
(Fin. units to be produced x % of hr./unit x DL rate/hr. = Tot. bud. DL costs)

15. (a) Manufacturing overhead rate based on direct labor cost is 48% [$198,000 + $162,000 =
$360,000; $360,000 ÷ (150,000 X 1/3 X $15/hr.) = 48%].
[($198,000 + $162,000) ÷ (150,000 x 1/3 x $15/hr.) = 48%]
[(Tot. VOH costs + Tot. FOH casts) ÷ (Units to be produced x Fraction of hr./unit x DL rate/hr.) = Predet. OH rate]

(b) Manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour is $7.20 ($360,000 ÷ 50,000).

16. The first quarter budgeted selling and administrative expenses are $74,000 [(12% X $200,000) +
$50,000]. The second quarter total is $78,800 [(12% X $240,000) + $50,000].

17. The budgeted cost per unit of product is $46 ($10 + $20 + $16). Gross profit per unit is $19 ($65 – $46).
Total budgeted gross profit is $475,000 (25,000 X $19).

20. Cash collections are:


January—$600,000 X 40% = $240,000.
February—$600,000 X 50% = $300,000.
March—$600,000 X 10% = $60,000.

MEMO
To Jim Dixon
From: Student
Re: Budgeting
I am glad Trusler Company is considering preparing a formal budget. There are
many benefits derived from budgeting, as I will discuss later in this memo.
A budget is a formal written statement of management’s plans for a specified
future time period, expressed in financial terms. The master budget gener-
ally consists of operating budgets such as the sales budget, production
budget, direct materials budget, direct labor budget, manufacturing overhead
budget, selling and administrative expense budget, and budgeted income
statement; and financial budgets such as the capital expenditure budget,
cash budget, and budgeted balance sheet.
The primary benefits of budgeting are:
1. It requires all levels of management to plan ahead and to formalize
goals on a recurring basis.
2. It provides definite objectives for evaluating performance at each
level of responsibility.
3. It creates an early warning system for potential problems, so that
management can make changes before things get out of hand.
4. It facilitates the coordination of activities within the business by cor-
relating the goals of each segment with overall company objectives.
5. It results in greater management awareness of the entity’s overall
operations and the impact of external factors such as economic
trends.
6. It motivates personnel throughout the organization to meet planned
objectives.
In order to maximize these benefits, it is essential that budgeting take place
within a sound organizational structure, so authority and responsibility for all
phases of operations are clearly defined. Also, the budget should be based on
research and analysis that results in realistic goals. Finally, the effectiveness
of a budget program is directly related to its acceptance by all levels of
management.
If you want further explanation of any of these topics, please contact me.

Cash disbursements of $117,000 plus the desired ending cash balance


of $25,000 exceeds the $135,000 total cash available by $7,000. Therefore,
Trenshaw Company will have to borrow $7,000.
[($45,000 + $90,000 = $135,000); ($56,200 + $40,800 + $20,000 = $117,000); ($135,000 - $117,000 = $18,000);

(Tot. cash avail. – Tot. cash disb. = Excess of avail. cash over disb.); (Excess of avail. cash over disb. + Borrow. =
End. cash bal.)]

(b) An advantage of cash budgeting is that it allows cash shortfalls to be


predicted. If the timing of future cash shortfalls is known, arrange-
ments to borrow funds can be made well in advance, which often
means that interest rates may be more favorable than if the funds are
needed on short notice.

CT 9-1 DECISION-MAKING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION

(a) The budget at Palmer Corporation is an imposed “top-down” budget


which fails to consider both the need for realistic data and the human
interaction essential to an effective budgeting/control process. The
president has not given any basis for his goals, so one cannot know
whether they are realistic for the company. True participation of company
employees in preparation of the budget is minimal and limited to mechani-
cal gathering and manipulation of data. This suggests there will be little
enthusiasm for implementing the budget.
The budget process is the merging of the requirements of all facets of
the company on a basis of sound judgment and equity. Specific instances
of poor procedures other than the approach and goals include the
following:
1. The sales by product line should be based upon an accurate sales
forecast of potential market. Therefore, the sales by product line
should have been developed first to derive the sales target rather
than the reverse.
2. Production costs probably would be the easiest and most certain
costs to estimate. Given variable and fixed production costs, one could
estimate the sales volume needed to cover manufacturing costs
plus the costs of other aspects of the operation. This would be helpful
before budgets for marketing costs and corporate office expenses
are set.
3. The initial meeting between the vice president of finance, executive
vice president, marketing manager, and production manager should
be held earlier. This meeting is held too late in the budgeting process.
(b) Palmer Corporation should consider the adoption of a “bottom to top”
(participative) budget process. This means that the people responsible
for performance under the budget would participate in the decisions
by which the budget is established. In addition, this approach requires
initial and continuing involvement of sales, financial, and production
personnel to define sales and profit goals which are realistic within the
constraints under which management operates. Although time-consuming,
the approach should produce a more acceptable, honest, and workable
goal-control mechanism. It also provides for goal congruence possibili-
ties for both individuals and departments within the firm.

CT 9-1 (Continued)

The sales forecast should be developed considering internal sales


forecasts as well as external factors. Costs within departments should
be divided into fixed and variable, discretionary and nondiscretionary.

(c) The functional areas should not necessarily be expected to cut costs
when sales volume falls below budget. The time frame of the budget
(one year) is short enough so that many costs are relatively fixed in
amount. For those costs which are fixed, there is little hope for a
reduction as a consequence of short-run changes in volume. However, the
functional areas should be expected to cut costs should sales volume
fall below target when:

1. Control is exercised over the costs within their function.

2. Budgeted costs were more than adequate for the originally targeted
sales; i.e., slack was present.

3. Budgeted costs vary to some extent with changes in sales.

4. There are discretionary costs which can be delayed or omitted with


no serious effect on the department.

CT 9-2 MANAGERIAL ANALYSIS

(a) Direct materials Either lower quality materials resulting in an inferior


product and possible lost sales, or fewer units
produced resulting in lost sales.

Direct labor Reduced production resulting in lost sales, or


reduction in quality of product resulting in lost sales.

Insurance Less coverage; may increase risk beyond acceptable


levels.

Depreciation To reduce depreciation, fixed assets would have to


be disposed of. Could result in less production and
lost sales.

Machine repairs Less efficient operations, or lost production and


sales.

Sales salaries Lost sales.

Office salaries Less effective administrative functions.

Factory salaries Lost production due to inefficiency, and therefore


lost sales.

(b) Given the nature of their product, a decline in quality should be


avoided, since this could result in lower future sales. Direct materials
represent the largest single cost, and thus perhaps the greatest
potential savings. Perhaps substitute materials of similar quality can
be found, or less expensive materials can be used for aspects of the
product where quality is not as critical. Additionally, it may be possible
to renegotiate prices with the supplier. Elliot & Hesse should be very
reluctant to reduce repair costs, since in the long run this can be very
expensive. Perhaps salaried and hourly employees can be encouraged
to take pay cuts if a profit-sharing mechanism is introduced.

CT 9-3 REAL-WORLD FOCUS

(a) According to Mr. LaFaive, zero-based budgeting requires that the


existence of a government program or programs be justified in each
fiscal year, as opposed to simply basing budgeting decisions on a
previous year’s funding level. Zero-based budgeting is often encouraged
by fiscal watchdog groups as a way to ensure against unnecessary
spending.

(b) In addition to saving money and improving services, zero-based


budgeting may:

 Increase restraint in developing budgets;


 Reduce the entitlement mentality with respect to cost increases; and
 Make budget discussions more meaningful during review sessions.

(c) On the cost side of the equation, zero-based budgeting:


 May increase the time and expense of preparing a budget;
 May be too radical a solution for the task at hand. You don’t need a
sledgehammer to pound in a nail;
 Can make matters worse if not done in the right way. A substantial
commitment must be made by all involved to ensure that this
doesn’t happen.

(d) In Oklahoma, which has recently adopted zero-based budgeting, officials


are applying the method to two departments and several agencies each
year. Once those reviews are complete, the same departments and
agencies will not see another zero-based review for eight years.

CT 9-4 COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY

Date 2020

Mrs. Megan Parcells, CEO


Life Protection Products (LPP)

Dear Mrs. Parcells:

Allow me to congratulate you on the success of your new venture! The


growth in sales you have experienced is phenomenal. You have managed the
business side of the venture very well also. At the same time, I understand
your concern about cash flow. You are selling these kits as fast as you can
make them, and yet you are running out of cash.

There is a solution to your problem. Before describing that, it may be


helpful for you to understand why this situation occurred. The primary
reason is that you are purchasing kit supplies at least two months in advance
of sales. As your business expands, these materials costs continue to
increase. Sales do not “catch up” until the Drs. Parcells have a seminar.
You did not describe in detail how often these seminars are, but I would
guess that they tend to run in cycles rather than being regularly spaced.
Eventually, as sales stabilize, you will find that cash inflows exceed cash
outflows, and your need for additional cash will subside. Presently, I think
it would be a good idea to try to borrow additional funds. I have not seen all
your financial data, but judging only from the cash budget you showed me,
it appears that you have the basis of a very successful company. If so, your
banker will be able to see the potential in your business and should be
happy to provide the cash you need. You will need to prepare a full set of
financial statements. I will be happy to assist you, if you desire.
There is also a possibility that you have underpriced your product. You are
providing a valuable service in assembling this information and these
materials. The fact that every seminar results in a sellout of the materials
may mean that you have priced your product too low. I know that your
husband wishes to have these materials available to every family, but
increasing the price a little may not make the price too high, and would
better compensate you for your efforts.

CT 9-4 (Continued)

However, even if you raised prices, you will find that you need additional
cash as long as the business continues to expand. It certainly does not
mean that you and Sue are doing anything wrong. It just means that you
will be investing additional funds as long as you continue to grow.

In my opinion, the best way to make sure these kits are available to as
many families as possible is for you and Sue to have a consultant evaluate
and determine the size of the market for you. Then you can decide whether
to expand to meet the need, or whether to keep your own business small
and allow competitors to imitate your product.

Congratulations again on a very successful product. Call or email this office if


we may be of further assistance preparing financial statements or providing
additional advice.

Sincerely,

Ima Student

CT 9-5 ETHICS CASE

(a) At best, if you disclose the errors in your calculations, you will be
embarrassed. At worst, you will be dismissed without a recommendation
for another job.

(b) The president will continue making presentations using data that are
grossly overstated. In time, your error may be detected when the events
you projected do not materialize.

(c) The most ethical scenario would be to admit your error, let the president
know about the error, provide the president with corrected projections,
and allow the president to decide how to alter his presentations during
the second week of his speech-making.

CT 9-7 CONSIDERING YOUR COSTS AND BENEFITS

We are concerned that the personal budgets presented on websites and in


financial planning textbooks often list student loans among the sources of
income. This type of thinking can lead to an overreliance on debt during
college, and will result in accumulation of large amounts of debt that must
be repaid. We would prefer a format that lists nondebt sources of income,
then subtracts expenses, then shows debt borrowed. This format emphasizes
an important point: Just like a business, in the short run you can borrow
money when your cash inflows are not sufficient to meet your outflows, but in
the long run you need to learn to live within your income, and your budget.
