- During lunch, the director of the Streets and Parkways Department of the city Torrance made the following comment: “For the past 10 years, I have deliberately overstated my labor and equipment needs by 20 percent when preparing my budget request. I figure that the city council will cut it by 10 percent, and I can use the other 10 percent as slack. If there is money left over, I can always find a way to spend it.” Do you consider this behavior to be ethical? If not, what steps might you, as budget director, take to cut down on this “padding”?arrow_forwardPatricia Smith recently leased space in the Southside Mall and opened a new business, Smith's Coi Shop.

- Ashley Finn is a new production manager. After a great deal of effort, including considerable market research, she completes her budget and submits it to her boss, Keith Payne.

Briefly explain.arrow_forwardThe executives at Stark Inc., a plumbing supply manufacturer, recently reviewed production capacity for the upcoming year and set production budgets. Based on the number of units that they expected to produce, they budgeted sales and set sales targets for each of their retail locations. They did not ask for the input of the individual store managers as they believed that they had sufficient information and they wanted to ensure that the store targets were not easily attainable. When the actual sales numbers started to come in, they were much lower than the budget. In investigating the variance, the company found that one location had a new competitor that had just opened down the street, and another had significant road construction that impeded the traffic flow and cut down on customers. There were also some new products on the market that were cutting into the company’s market share. Because of the missed sales budget, the company had overproduced, resulting in excess inventory.…arrow_forwardYour friend, Catherine Ross, owns Knockoffs Unlimited, a nationwide distributor of low-cost imitation designer necklaces.

- Davis Construction Company has not been doing very well lately. The controller is looking over the invoices for bills that need to be paid this week, and realizes the company is approximately $7,000 short.

O No, that is a short-term investment account, and the money cannot be converted into cash that quickly. O Yes, it is a cash equivalent account, which can be used to supply the money for the bills as long as the money is replaced within the month. O No, that is restricted cash and the money cannot be taken out to cover other expenses. O Yes, it is restricted cash, but as long as the money is replaced within a month of being taken out, it will balance out fine.arrow_forwardTimmy knows that Tammy, his boss at ABC Corp., desperately wants to bring the department in under-budget for the year so that she can earn herself a nice year-end bonus. And since Timmy is desperate to butter Tammy up and become her favorite employee, his brain churns out the following logic: Even though I used my own credit card to take that big group of customers out to eat and to the ball game last night, and even though the total cost was $1,200, I’ll not submit an expense report and so not get reimbursed, which will make Tammy very happy and she’ll like me very much! Oh, and since I file a Schedule C for my side business (tax return prep), I’ll just deduct the $1,200 there! Wonderful strategy! Do you agree with Timmy that his strategy is wonderful? Why or why not?arrow_forwardBudgeting is important not only for businesses.
