What is included in an operating budget, and how is this helpful? ANSWER: The operating budget includes a sales forecast. A forecast can be acquired from a linear regression analysis or a trend line analysis. This is a good place to start because a manager must look at past months' sales figures. It usually gives an idea of what to expect in the upcoming year. This type of budget also includes an estimation of expenses. A layout of the groundwork helps the manager to get a clear picture of the costs involved in keeping up the business. The layout will also help estimate the number of sales needed each month.

Name and describe the final step in preparing the operating budget. ANSWER: The final step in the budget process is the preparation of pro forma statements, which are projections of a firm's financial position during a future period (pro forma income statement) or on a future date (pro forma balance sheet). In the normal accounting cycle, the income statement is prepared first, followed by the balance sheet. Similarly, in the preparation of pro forma statements, the pro forma income statement is followed by the pro forma balance sheet. Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero. Page 24 In the process of preparing the operating budget, the firm already will have prepared the pro forma income statements for each month in the budget period. Each month presents the anticipated income and expense for that particular period, which is what the monthly pro forma income statements do. To prepare an annual pro forma income statement, the firm combines all months of the year. The process for preparing a pro forma balance sheet is more complex: The last balance sheet prepared before the budget period began, the operating budget, and the cash-flow budget are needed to prepare it. Starting with the beginning balance sheet balances, the projected changes as depicted on the budgets are added to create the projected balance sheet totals.

Define break-even analysis, and identify some useful methods for finding the break-even point. ANSWER: Break-even analysis is the point in production when the firm has no losses or gains. A firm makes or sells enough of its product to break even. Some popular applications include graphing total costs and total revenues. The point at which these two lines cross is the breakeven point. Another is the contribution margin approach or the unknown-cost approach. Each method uses the selling price, variable cost, fixed costs, and the unknown cost (number of units to sell).
