Operating Budget, Comprehensive Analysis
Allison Manufacturing produces a subassembly used in the production of jet aircraft engines.
The assembly is sold to engine manufacturers and aircraft maintenance facilities. Projected sales in units for the coming 5 months follow:
The following data pertain to production policies and manufacturing specifications followed by Allison Manufacturing:
- a. Finished goods inventory on January 1 is 32,000 units, each costing $166.06. The desired ending inventory for each month is 80% of the next month’s sales.
- b. The data on materials used are as follows:
Inventory policy dictates that sufficient materials be on hand at the end of the month to produce 50% of the next month’s production needs. This is exactly the amount of material on hand on December 31 of the prior year.
- c. The direct labor used per unit of output is 3 hours. The average direct labor cost per hour is $14.25.
- d.
Overhead each month is estimated using a flexible budget formula. (Note: Activity is measured in direct labor hours.)
- e. Monthly selling and administrative expenses are also estimated using a flexible budgeting formula. (Note: Activity is measured in units sold.)
- f. The unit selling price of the subassembly is $205.
- g. All sales and purchases are for cash. The cash balance on January 1 equals $400,000. The firm requires a minimum ending balance of $50,000. If the firm develops a cash shortage
by the end of the month, sufficient cash is borrowed to cover the shortage. Any cash borrowed is repaid at the end of the quarter, as is the interest due (cash borrowed at the end of the quarter is repaid at the end of the following quarter). The interest rate is 12% per annum. No money is owed at the beginning of January.

- 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Form a group with two or three other students. Locate a manufacturing plant in your community that has headquarters elsewhere. Interview the controller for the plant regarding the
master budgeting process. Ask when the process starts each year, what schedules and budgets are prepared at the plant level, how the controllerforecasts the amounts, and how those schedules and budgets fit in with the overall corporate budget. Is the budgetary process participative? Also, find out how budgets are used for performance analysis. Write a summary of the interview.

Prepare summary regarding budgets used in ABC incorporation.
Explanation of Solution
In ABC incorporation, participative budgeting is used; all the supervisors and department heads are involved in preparation of the relevant budgets to increase the probability of meeting the budgets.
However, preparation of budgets is not entirely delegated to the sub-ordinate managers and supervisors, their issues and reasonable figures are asked and on that basis, higher management decides budgetary figures.
After expiry of the period, budgets are adjusted according to actual units sold and thereafter, such budget is prepared with actual budget to find out discrepancies.
Thereafter, reasons behind all the variances are observed. Amount of variance, attributable to managerial performances are considered as one of the factors in performance analysis.
All the operating budgets like; sales, production, material purchase, labor, overhead, selling and administrative overhead, finished goods inventory, COGS as well as cash budget is prepared for planning and controlling purposes.
All these budgets help in determination of budgeted income and cash requirements. This can be explained as follows:
- Sales budget is used to prepare production budget and selling and administrative expenses budget.
- Production budget is used to prepare material purchase budget and labor budget.
- Labor budget (labor hours) is used to prepare manufacturing overhead budget.
- Production, material, labor, and production overhead budgets are used to compute ending finished goods inventory budget and based on these budgets COGS budget is prepared.
- Budgeted income statement is prepared by using sales budget, COGS budget and selling and administrative expenses budget.
- Sales, material, labor, production overhead, and selling overhead budgets are used to prepare cash budget.
Budgets are forecasted by using past year data. Past year data is adjusted with inflation and other economic factors like availability of new clients, to prepare budgets for the current year.
