The Basic Framework of Budgeting
A budget is a detailed quantitative plan for
acquiring and using financial and other resources
over a specified forthcoming time period.
1. The act of preparing a budget is called
budgeting.
2. The use of budgets to control an
organization’s activities is known
as budgetary control.
7-2
Planning and Control
Planning –
Control –
involves developing
objectives and
preparing various
budgets to achieve
those objectives.
involves the steps taken by
management to increase
the likelihood that the
objectives set down while
planning are attained and
that all parts of the
organization are working
together toward that goal.
7-3
Advantages of Budgeting
Define goals
and objectives
Think about and
plan for the future
Communicate

Means of allocating
resources
Uncover potential
bottlenecks
7-4
Responsibility Accounting
Managers should be
held responsible for
those items – and only
those items – that they
can actually control
to a significant extent.
7-5
Choosing the Budget Period
Operating Budget
2011
2012
Operating budgets ordinarily
cover a one-year period
corresponding to a company’s
fiscal year. Many companies
divide their annual budget
into four quarters.
2013
2014
A continuous budget is a
12-month budget that rolls
forward one month (or quarter)
as the current month (or quarter)
is completed.

A self-imposed budget or participative budget is a budget that is
prepared with the full cooperation and participation of managers
at all levels.
7-7
Advantages of Self-Imposed Budgets
1. Individuals at all levels of the organization are viewed as
members of the team whose judgments are valued by top
management.
2. Budget estimates prepared by front-line managers are
often more accurate than estimates prepared by top
managers.
3. Motivation is generally higher when individuals participate
in setting their own goals than when the goals are
imposed from above.
4. A manager who is not able to meet a budget imposed
from above can claim that it was unrealistic. Self-imposed
budgets eliminate this excuse.
7-8
Self-Imposed Budgets
Self-imposed budgets should be reviewed
by higher levels of management to
prevent “budgetary slack.”
Most companies issue broad guidelines in
terms of overall profits or sales. Lowerlevel managers are directed to prepare
budgets that meet those targets.
7-9
Human Factors in Budgeting
The success of a budget program depends on three
important factors:
1.Top management must be enthusiastic and
committed to the budget process.
2.Top management must not use the budget to
pressure employees or blame them when
something goes wrong.
3.Highly achievable budget targets are usually
preferred when managers are rewarded based on
meeting budget targets.

Budgeting Example
 Royal Company is preparing budgets for the
quarter ending June 30th.
 Budgeted sales for the next five months are:
April
May
June
July
August
20,000 units
50,000 units
30,000 units
25,000 units
15,000 units
 The selling price is $10 per unit.
7-12
The Sales Budget
The individual months of April, May, and June are
summed to obtain the total budgeted sales in units
and dollars for the quarter ended June 30th
7-13
Expected Cash Collections
• All sales are on account.
• Royal’s collection pattern is:
70% collected in the month of sale,
25% collected in the month following sale,
5% uncollectible.
• In April, the March 31st accounts receivable
balance of $30,000 will be collected in full.

The Direct Labor Budget
• At Royal, each unit of product requires 0.05 hours (3 minutes)
of direct labor.
• The company has a “no layoff” policy so all employees will be
paid for 40 hours of work each week.
• For purposes of our illustration assume that Royal has a “no
layoff” policy and workers are paid at the rate of $10 per hour
regardless of the hours worked.
• For the next three months, the direct labor workforce will be
paid for a minimum of 1,500 hours per month.

• At Royal, manufacturing overhead is applied to units of
product on the basis of direct labor-hours.
• The variable manufacturing overhead rate is $20 per direct
labor-hour.
• Fixed manufacturing overhead is $50,000 per month, which
includes $20,000 of noncash costs (primarily depreciation of

Selling and Administrative Expense
Budget
• At Royal, the selling and administrative expense budget is
divided into variable and fixed components.
• The variable selling and administrative expenses are $0.50
per unit sold.
• Fixed selling and administrative expenses are $70,000 per
month.
• The fixed selling and administrative expenses include $10,000
in costs – primarily depreciation – that are not cash outflows
of the current month.

Format of the Cash Budget
The cash budget is divided into four sections:
1. Cash receipts section lists all cash inflows excluding cash
received from financing;
2. Cash disbursements section consists of all cash payments
excluding repayments of principal and interest;
3. Cash excess or deficiency section determines if the
company will need to borrow money or if it will be able to
repay funds previously borrowed; and
4. Financing section details the borrowings and repayments
projected to take place during the budget period.
7-51
The Cash Budget
Assume the following information for Royal:
➢Maintains a 16% open line of credit for $75,000
➢Maintains a minimum cash balance of $30,000
➢Borrows on the first day of the month and repays
loans on the last day of the month
➢Pays a cash dividend of $49,000 in April
➢Purchases $143,700 of equipment in May and
$48,300 in June (both purchases paid in cash)
➢Has an April 1 cash balance of $40,000

Characteristics of Flexible Budgets
Planning budgets
are prepared for
a single, planned
level of activity.
Hmm! Comparing
static planning budgets
with actual costs
is like comparing
apples and oranges.
Performance
evaluation is difficult
when actual activity
differs from the planned
level of activity.
8-3
Characteristics of Flexible Budgets
May be prepared for any activity
level in the relevant range.
Show costs that should have been
incurred at the actual level of
activity, enabling “apples to apples”
cost comparisons.
Help managers control costs.
Improve performance evaluation.
Let’s look at Larry’s Lawn Service.
8-4
Deficiencies of the Static Planning Budget
Larry’s Lawn Service provides lawn care in a planned
community where all lawns are approximately the same size.
At the end of May, Larry prepared his June budget based on
mowing 500 lawns. Since all of the lawns are similar in size,
Larry felt that the number of lawns mowed in a month would
be the best way to measure overall activity for his business.

F = Favorable variance that occurs when actual

actual costs are greater than budgeted costs.
F = Favorable variance that occurs when
actual costs are less than budgeted costs.
8-9
Deficiencies of the Static Planning Budget
Larry’s Actual Results Compared with the Planning Budget
Since these variances are unfavorable, has
Larry done a poor job controlling costs?
Since these variances are favorable, has
Larry done a good job controlling costs?
8-10
Deficiencies of the Static Planning Budget
I don’t think I
can answer the
questions using
a static budget.
Actual activity is above
planned activity.
So, shouldn’t the variable
costs be higher if actual
activity is higher?
8-11
Deficiencies of the Static Planning Budget
▪ The relevant question is . . .
“How much of the cost variances are
due to higher activity and how much
are due to cost control?”
▪ To answer the question,
we must
the budget to the
actual level of activity.
8-12
How a Flexible Budget Works
To
a budget, we need to know that:
• Total variable costs change
in direct proportion to
changes in activity.
• Total fixed costs remain
unchanged within the
relevant range.

Flexible Budgets with Multiple Cost
Drivers
More than one cost
driver may be needed to
adequately explain all of
the costs in an organization.
The cost formulas used
to prepare a flexible
budget can be adjusted
to recognize multiple
cost drivers.
8-20
Flexible Budgets with Multiple Cost
Drivers
Because of the large unfavorable wages and salaries spending
variance, Larry decided to add an additional cost driver for
wages and salaries. The variance is due primarily to the number
of hours required for the additional edging and trimming. So
Larry estimates the additional hours and builds those hours into
both his revenue and expense budget formulas.

Standard Costs
Standards are benchmarks or “norms” for
measuring performance. In managerial accounting,
two types of standards are commonly used.
Quantity standards
specify how much of an
input should be used to
make a product or
provide a service.
Price standards
specify how much
should be paid for
each unit of the
input.
Examples: Firestone, Sears, McDonald’s, hospitals,
construction, and manufacturing companies.

used to compute activity and spending variances.
Spending variances become more
useful by breaking them down into
quantity and price variances.

Quantity and Price Standards
Quantity and price standards are
determined separately for two reasons:
 The purchasing manager is responsible for raw
material purchase prices and the production manager
is responsible for the quantity of raw material used.
 The buying and using activities occur at different times.
Raw material purchases may be held in inventory for a
period of time before being used in production.

motivation.
Quality of production
supervision.
Production Manager
Quality of training
provided to employees.

Responsibility for Labor Variances
I am not responsible for
the unfavorable labor

You purchased cheap
material, so it took more
time to process it.
I think it took more time
to process the

Cost Flows in a Standard Cost System
Inventories are recorded at standard cost.
Variances are recorded as follows:
 Favorable variances are credits, representing
savings in production costs.
 Unfavorable variances are debits, representing
excess production costs.
Standard cost variances are usually closed out
to cost of goods sold.
 Unfavorable variances increase cost of goods sold.
 Favorable variances decrease cost of goods sold.

Decentralization in Organizations
Benefits of
Decentralization
Top management
freed to concentrate
on strategy.
Lower-level decisions
often based on
better information. Lower-level managers
can respond quickly to
customers.
Lower-level managers
gain experience in
Decision making.
Decision-making
authority leads to
job satisfaction.
9-2
Decentralization in Organizations
May be a lack of
coordination among
autonomous
managers.
Lower-level manager’s
objectives may not
be those of the
organization.
Lower-level managers
may make decisions
without seeing the
“big picture.”
Disadvantages of
Decentralization
May be difficult to
spread innovative ideas
in the organization.

Sales
Operating expenses
$ 200,000
$ 500,000
$ 470,000

Investing in Operating Assets to Increase
Sales
Assume that Regal’s manager invests in a $30,000
piece of equipment that increases sales by
$35,000, while increasing operating expenses
by $15,000.
Regal Company reports the following:
Net operating income
Average operating assets
Sales
Operating expenses
$ 50,000
$ 230,000
$ 535,000
$ 485,000
Let’s calculate the new ROI.
9-13
Investing in Operating Assets to Increase

ROI = Margin  Turnover
ROI =
Net operating income

ROI = $50,000
$535,000
Sales
× Average operating assets
$535,000
×
$230,000
ROI = 9.35%  2.33 = 21.8%
ROI increased from 15% to 21.8%.
9-14
Criticisms of ROI
In the absence of the balanced
scorecard, management may
not know how to increase ROI.
Managers often inherit many
committed costs over which
they have no control.
Managers evaluated on ROI
may reject profitable
investment opportunities.
9-15
Residual Income – Another Measure of
Performance
Net operating income
above some minimum
return on operating
assets
9-16
Calculating Residual Income
Residual
=
income
Net
operating income
(
Average
operating
assets

Minimum
required rate of
return
)
This computation differs from ROI.
ROI measures net operating income earned relative
to the investment in average operating assets.
Residual income measures net operating income
earned less the minimum required return on average
operating assets.
9-17
Residual Income – An Example
•The Retail Division of Zephyr, Inc., has
average operating assets of $100,000 and is
required to earn a return of 20% on these
assets.
•In the current period, the division earns
$30,000.
Let’s calculate residual income.
9-18
Residual Income – An Example
Operating assets
$ 100,000
Required rate of return ×
20%
Minimum required return $ 20,000
Actual income
$ 30,000
Minimum required return (20,000)
Residual income
$ 10,000
9-19
Motivation and Residual Income
Residual income encourages managers to
make profitable investments that would
be rejected by managers using ROI.
9-20
Divisional Comparisons and Residual
Income
The residual
income approach
has one major
disadvantage.
It cannot be used
to compare the
performance of
divisions of
different sizes.

Zephyr, Inc. – Continued
The residual income numbers suggest that the Wholesale Division outperformed
the Retail Division because its residual income is $10,000 higher. However, the
Retail Division earned an ROI of 30% compared to an ROI of 22% for the
Wholesale Division. The Wholesale Division’s residual income is larger than the
Retail Division simply because it is a bigger division.

The Balanced Scorecard: From
Strategy to Performance Measures
Performance Measures
What are our
financial goals?
Vision
and
Strategy
What customers do
we want to serve and
how are we going to
win and retain them?
What internal business processes are
critical to providing
value to customers?
Financial
Has our financial
performance improved?
Customer
Do customers recognize that
we are delivering more value?
Internal Business Processes
Have we improved key business
processes so that we can deliver
more value to customers?
Learning and Growth
Are we maintaining our ability
to change and improve?
9-27
The Balanced Scorecard:
Non-financial Measures
The balanced scorecard relies on nonfinancial measures
in addition to financial measures for two reasons:
 Financial measures are lag indicators that summarize
the results of past actions. Nonfinancial measures are
leading indicators of future financial performance.
 Top managers are ordinarily responsible for financial
performance measures, not lower-level managers.
Nonfinancial measures are more likely to be
understood and controlled by lower-level managers.
9-28
The Balanced Scorecard for Individuals
The entire organization
should have an overall
balanced scorecard.
Each individual should
have a personal
balanced scorecard.
A personal balanced scorecard should contain measures that can be
influenced by the individual being evaluated and that
support the measures in the overall balanced scorecard.
9-29
The Balanced Scorecard
A balanced scorecard should have measures
that are linked together on a cause-and-effect basis.
If we improve
one performance
measure . . .
Then
Another desired
performance measure
will improve.
The balanced scorecard lays out concrete
actions to attain desired outcomes.

The Balanced Scorecard and
Compensation
Incentive compensation should be linked to
balanced scorecard performance
measures.

Relevant Costs and Benefits
A relevant cost is a cost that differs
between alternatives.
A relevant benefit is a benefit that
differs between alternatives.
10-2
Identifying Relevant Costs
An avoidable cost is a cost that can be
eliminated, in whole or in part, by choosing
one alternative over another. Avoidable costs
are relevant costs. Unavoidable costs are
irrelevant costs.
Two broad categories of costs are never relevant in
any decision. They include:
Sunk costs.
A future cost that does not differ between the
alternatives.
10-3
Keys to Successful Decision-Making
1. Focus only on relevant costs (also called avoidable
costs, differential costs, or incremental costs) and
relevant benefits (also called differential benefits or
incremental benefits).
2. Ignore everything else including sunk costs and
future costs and benefits that do not differ between
the alternatives.
10-4
Different Costs for Different Purposes
Costs that are
relevant in one
decision situation
may not be relevant
in another context.
Thus, in each
decision situation,
the manager must
examine the data at
hand and isolate the
relevant costs.
10-5
Total and Differential Cost Approaches
Using the differential cost approach is
desirable for two reasons:
1. Only rarely will enough information be
available to prepare detailed income
statements for both alternatives.
2. Mingling irrelevant costs with relevant costs
may cause confusion and distract attention
away from the information that is really
critical.
10-6
Adding/Dropping Segments
One of the most important
decisions managers make
is whether to add or drop a
business segment.
Ultimately, a decision to
drop an old segment or add
a new one is going to hinge
primarily on the impact the
decision will have on net
operating income.
To assess this
impact, it is
necessary to
carefully analyze
the costs.
10-7
A Contribution Margin Approach
DECISION RULE
Lovell should drop the digital watch
segment only if its profit would
increase.
Lovell will compare the contribution
margin that would be lost to the costs
that would be avoided if the line was to
be dropped.
10-8
The Make or Buy Analysis
When a company is involved in more than
one activity in the entire value chain, it is
vertically integrated. A decision to carry
out one of the activities in the value chain
internally, rather than to buy externally
from a supplier is called a “make or buy”
decision.
10-9
Key Terms and Concepts
A special order is a one-time
order that is not considered
part of the company’s normal
ongoing business.
When analyzing a special
order, only the incremental
costs and benefits are
relevant.
Since the existing fixed
manufacturing overhead costs
would not be affected by the
order, they are not relevant.
10-10
Key Terms and Concepts
When a limited resource of
some type restricts the
company’s ability to satisfy
demand, the company is
said to have a constraint.
The machine or
process that is
limiting overall output
is called the
bottleneck – it is the
constraint.
10-11
Utilization of a Constrained Resource
• Fixed costs are usually unaffected in these situations,
so the product mix that maximizes the company’s
total contribution margin should ordinarily be
selected.
• A company should not necessarily promote those
products that have the highest unit contribution
margins.
• Rather, total contribution margin will be maximized by
promoting those products or accepting those orders
that provide the highest contribution margin in
relation to the constraining resource.
10-12
Managing Constraints
It is often possible for a manager to increase the capacity of a
bottleneck, which is called relaxing (or elevating) the constraint,
in numerous ways such as:
1. Working overtime on the bottleneck.
2. Subcontracting some of the processing that would be done
at the bottleneck.
3. Investing in additional machines at the bottleneck.
4. Shifting workers from non-bottleneck processes to the
bottleneck.
5. Focusing business process improvement efforts on the
bottleneck.
6. Reducing defective units processed through the bottleneck.
These methods and ideas are all consistent with the Theory
of Constraints, which was introduced in Chapter 1.
10-13
Joint Costs
• In some industries, a number of end
products are produced from a single raw
material input.
• Two or more products produced from a
common input are called joint products.
• The point in the manufacturing process
where each joint product can be
recognized as a separate product is called
the split-off point.
10-14
Sell or Process Further
Joint costs are irrelevant in decisions regarding
what to do with a product from the split-off point
forward. Therefore, these costs should not be
allocated to end products for decision-making
purposes.
With respect to sell or process further decisions, it is
profitable to continue processing a joint product
after the split-off point so long as the incremental
revenue from such processing exceeds the
incremental processing costs incurred after the
split-off point.

Typical Capital Budgeting Decisions
Plant expansion
Equipment selection
Equipment replacement
Lease or buy
Cost reduction
11-2
Typical Capital Budgeting Decisions
Capital budgeting tends to fall into two broad
categories.
1. Screening decisions. Does a proposed
project meet some preset standard of
acceptance?
2. Preference decisions. Selecting from
among several competing courses of action.
11-3
Time Value of Money
A dollar today is worth
more than a dollar a
year from now.
Therefore, projects that
promise earlier returns
are preferable to those
that promise later
returns.
11-4
Time Value of Money
The capital
budgeting
techniques that best
recognize the time
value of money are
those that involve
discounted cash
flows.
11-5
The Net Present Value Method
To determine net present value we . . .
• Calculate the present value of cash
inflows,
• Calculate the present value of cash
outflows,
• Subtract the present value of the outflows
from the present value of the inflows.
11-6
The Net Present Value Method
If the Net Present
Value is . . .
Then the Project is . . .
Positive . . .
Acceptable because it promises
a return greater than the
required rate of return.
Zero . . .
Acceptable because it promises
a return equal to the required
rate of return.
Negative . . .
Not acceptable because it
promises a return less than the
required rate of return.
11-7
The Net Present Value Method
Net present value analysis
emphasizes cash flows and not
accounting net income.
The reason is that
accounting net income is
based on accruals that
ignore the timing of cash
flows into and out of an
organization.
11-8
Choosing a Discount Rate
• The firm’s cost of capital is usually
regarded as the minimum required rate of
return.
• The cost of capital is the average rate of
return the company must pay to its longterm creditors and stockholders for the use
of their funds.
• The cost of capital is usually regarded as
the minimum required rate of return. When
the cost of capital is used as the discount
rate, it serves as a screening device in net
present value analysis.
11-9
Preference Decision – The Ranking of Investment
Projects
Screening Decisions
Preference Decisions
Pertain to whether or
not some proposed
investment is
acceptable; these
decisions come first.
Attempt to rank
acceptable
alternatives from the
most to least
appealing.
11-10
Net Present Value Method
The net present value of one project cannot
be directly compared to the net present
value of another project unless the
investments are equal.
11-11
The Payback Method
The payback period is the length of time that it
takes for a project to recover its initial cost out
of the cash receipts that it generates.
When the annual net cash inflow is the same
each year, this formula can be used to compute
the payback period:
Payback period =
Investment required
Annual net cash inflow
11-12
Simple Rate of Return Method
Does not focus on cash flows – rather, it focuses on
accounting net operating income.
The following formula is used to calculate the simple
rate of return:
Simple rate Annual incremental net operating income
=
of return
Initial investment*
*Should be reduced by any salvage from the sale of the old equipment
11-13
Postaudit of Investment Projects
A postaudit is a follow-up after the project
has been completed to see whether or not
expected results were actually realized.

Statement of
Cash Flows
The statement of cash flows highlights the major activities
that impact cash flows and ,hence, affect the overall cash
balance.
12-2
Purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows
Are cash flows
sufficient to
support ongoing
operations?
Will the company
have to borrow
money to make
needed
investments?
Can we pay
debts?
Why is there a
difference
between net
income and net
cash flow?
Can we pay
dividends?
12-3
A Fundamental Principle
 Cash Balance =  Noncash Balance Sheet Accounts
This principle ensures that properly
analyzing the changes in all noncash
balance sheet accounts always
quantifies the cash inflows and
outflows that explain the change in the
cash balance.

Free Cash Flows
Free cash flow measures a company’s ability to
fund its capital expenditures and dividends from
its net cash provided by operating activities.
Net Cash Provided by
Free Cash Flow =

– Dividends
12-13
Earnings Quality
Managers generally perceive that
earnings are of higher quality
when the earnings:
1. are not unduly influenced by
inflation,
2. are computed using
conservative accounting
principles and estimates, and
3. are correlated with net cash
provided by operating
activities.
12-14
Computing Net Cash Provided by
Operating Activities
The direct method computes
net cash provided by operating
activities by reconstructing the
income statement on a cash
basis from top to bottom.
Net cash provided by operating
activities under the direct method will
always agree with the amount
computed using the indirect method.
12-15
Similarities and Differences in Handling
Data
Adjustments for accounts
that affect revenue are the
same in the direct and
indirect methods.
Adjustments for accounts
that affect expenses are
handled in opposite ways
for the direct and indirect
methods.
12-16
Similarities and Differences in Handling
Data
Under the direct method,
no adjustments for gains
and losses on the sale of
assets are needed.
