CHAPTER 9
Profit Planning and Activity-Based Budgeting
ANSWERS TO REVIEW QUESTIONS
9-1
A budget facilitates communication and coordination by making each manager
throughout the organization aware of the plans made by other managers. The
budgeting process pulls together the plans of each manager in the organization.
9-2
An example of using the budget to allocate resources in a university is found in the
area of research funds and grants. Universities typically have a limited amount of
research-support resources that must be allocated among the various colleges and
divisions within the university. This allocation process often takes place within the
context of the budgeting process.
9-3
A master budget, or profit plan, is a comprehensive set of budgets covering all
phases of an organization's operations for a specified period of time. The master
budget includes the following parts: sales budget, operational budgets (including a
production budget, inventory budgets, a labor budget, an overhead budget, a selling
and administrative expense budget, and a cash budget), and budgeted financial
statements (including a budgeted income statement, budgeted balance sheet, and
budgeted statement of cash flows).

The flowchart on the following page depicts the components of the master budget
for a gasoline service station that also provides automotive maintenance.

General economic trends are important in forecasting sales in the airline industry.
The overall health of the economy is an important factor affecting the extent of
business travel. In addition, the health of the economy, inflation, and income levels
affect the extent to which the general public travels by air.
9-6
Operational budgets specify how an organization's operations will be carried out to
meet the demand for its goods and services. The operational budgets prepared in a
hospital would include a labor budget showing the number of professional personnel
of various types required to carry out the hospital's mission, an overhead budget
listing planned expenditures for such costs as utilities and maintenance, and a cash
budget showing planned cash receipts and disbursements.

Application of activity-based costing to the budgeting process yields activity-based
budgeting (ABB). Under ABB, the first step is to specify the products or services to
be produced and the customers to be served. Then the activities necessary to
produce these products and services are determined. Finally the resources needed
to perform the specified activities are determined. ABB differs from traditional
budgeting in the emphasis that it places on activities and its use of activity-based
costing data in the budgeting process.
9-8
E-budgeting stands for an electronic and enterprise-wide budgeting process. Under
this approach the information needed to construct a budget is gathered via the
Internet from individuals and subunits located throughout the enterprise. The
Internet also is used to disseminate the resulting budget schedules and information
to authorized users throughout the enterprise.
9-9
The city of London could use budgeting for planning purposes in many ways. For
example, the city's personnel budget would be important in planning for required
employees in the police and fire departments. The city's capital budget would be
used in planning for the replacement of the city's vehicles, computers,
administrative buildings, and traffic control equipment. The city's cash budget would
be important in planning for cash receipts and disbursements. It is important for any
organization, including a municipal government, to make sure that it has enough
cash on hand to meet its cash needs at all times.
9-10
The budget director, or chief budget officer, specifies the process by which budget
data will be gathered, collects the information, and prepares the master budget. To
communicate budget procedures and deadlines to employees throughout the
organization, the budget director often develops and disseminates a budget manual.
9-11
The budget manual says who is responsible for providing various types of
information, when the information is required, and what form the information is to
take. The budget manual also states who should receive each schedule when the
master budget is complete.
9-12
A company's board of directors generally has final approval over the master budget.
By exercising its authority to make changes in the budget and grant final approval,
the board of directors can wield considerable influence on the overall direction the
organization takes. Since the budget is used as a resource-allocation mechanism,
the board of directors can emphasize some programs and curtail or eliminate others
by allocating funds through the budgeting process.

A master budget is based on many assumptions and predictions of unknown
parameters. For example, the sales budget is built on an assumption about the
nature of demand for goods or services. The direct-material budget requires an
estimate of the direct-material price and the quantity of material required per unit of
production. Many other assumptions are used throughout the rest of the budgeting
process.
9-14
The difference between the revenue or cost projection that a person provides in the
budgeting process and a realistic estimate of the revenue or cost is called budgetary
slack. Building budgetary slack into the budget is called padding the budget. A
significant problem caused by budgetary slack is that the budget ceases to be an
accurate portrayal of likely future events. Cost estimates are often inflated, and
revenue estimates are often understated. In this situation, the budget loses its
effectiveness as a planning tool.
9-15
An organization can reduce the problem of budgetary slack in several ways. First, it
can avoid relying on the budget as a negative, evaluative tool. Second, managers
can be given incentives not only to achieve budgetary projections but also to
provide accurate projections.
9-16
The idea of participative budgeting is to involve employees throughout an
organization in the budgetary process. Such participation can give employees the
feeling that "this is our budget," rather than the feeling that "this is the budget you
imposed on us." When employees feel that they were part of the budgeting process,
they are more likely to strive to achieve the budget.
9-17
This comment is occasionally heard from people who have started and run their own
small business for a long period of time. These individuals have great knowledge in
their minds about running their business. They feel that they do not need to spend a
great deal of time on the budgeting process, because they can essentially run the
business by feel. This approach can result in several problems. First, if the person
who is running the business is sick or traveling, he or she is not available to make
decisions and implement plans that could have been clarified by a budget. Second,
the purposes of budgeting are important to the effective running of an organization.
Budgets facilitate communication and coordination, are useful in resource allocation,
and help in evaluating performance and providing incentives to employees. It is
difficult to achieve these benefits without a budgeting process.

In developing a budget to meet your college expenses, the primary steps would be to
project your cash receipts and your cash disbursements. Your cash receipts could
come from such sources as summer jobs, jobs held during the academic year,
college funds saved by relatives or friends for your benefit, scholarships, and
financial aid from your college or university. You would also need to carefully project
your college expenses. Your expenses would include tuition, room and board, books
and other academic supplies, transportation, clothing and other personal needs, and
money for entertainment and miscellaneous expenses.
9-19
Firms with international operations face a variety of additional challenges in
preparing their budgets.
 A multinational firm's budget must reflect the translation of foreign currencies
into the official corporate currency. Almost all the world's currencies fluctuate in
their relative values, and this fluctuation makes budgeting for those translations
difficult.
 It is difficult to prepare budgets when inflation is high or unpredictable. Some
countries have experienced hyperinflation, sometimes with annual inflation rates
well over 100 percent. Predicting such high inflation rates is difficult and
complicates a multinational's budgeting process.
 The economies of all countries fluctuate in terms of consumer demand,
availability of skilled labor, laws affecting commerce, and so forth. Companies
with foreign operations face the task of anticipating such changing conditions in
their budgeting processes.

The five phases in a product's life cycle are as follows:
(a) Product planning and concept design
(b) Preliminary design
(c) Detailed design and testing
(d) Production
(e) Distribution and customer service
It is important to budget these costs as early as possible in order to ensure that the
revenue a product generates over its life cycle will cover all of the costs to be
incurred. A large portion of a product's life-cycle costs will be committed well before
they are actually incurred.

Subject: Budgetary slack
Budgetary slack is the difference between a budget estimate that a person provides
and a realistic estimate. The practice of creating budgetary slack is called padding the
budget. The primary negative consequence of slack is that it undermines the credibility
and usefulness of the budget as a planning and control tool. When a budget includes
slack, the amounts in the budget no longer portray a realistic view of future operations.
The bank's bonus system for the new accounts manager tends to encourage
budgetary slack. Since Ms. Chung’s bonus is determined by the number of new
accounts generated over the budgeted number, the manager has an incentive to
understate her projection of the number of new accounts. The description of the new
accounts manager's behavior shows evidence of such understatement. A 10 percent
increase over the bank's current 12,000 accounts would mean 1,200 new accounts in
20x2. Yet the new accounts manager's projection is only 900 new accounts. This
projection will make it more likely that the actual number of new accounts will exceed
the budgeted number.

Operational plans depend on various assumptions. Usually there is uncertainty about
these assumptions, such as sales demand or inflation rates. Financial planning helps

Possible actions might include:
 Hire part-time instructors
 Use graduate teaching assistants
 Increase the teaching load for each professor
 Increase class size and reduce the number of sections to be offered
 Have students take an Internet-based course offered by another university
4.
No. While the number of faculty may be a key driver, the number of faculty is highly
dependent on the number of students. Students (and tuition revenue) are akin to
sales—the starting point in the budgeting process.

1.
Sales are collected over a two-month period, 40% in the month of sale and 60% in the
following month. December receivables of $216,000 equal 60% of December’s sales;
thus, December sales total $360,000 ($216,000 ÷ .6). Since the selling price is $40
per unit, Highlands sold 9,000 units ($360,000 ÷ $40).
2.
Since the company expects to sell 10,000 units, sales revenue will total $400,000
(10,000 units x $40).
3.
Highlands collected 40% of February’s sales in February, or $156,800. Thus,
February’s sales total $392,000 ($156,800 ÷ .4). Combining January sales ($152,000 +
$228,000), February sales ($392,000), and March sales ($400,000), the company will
report revenue of $1,172,000.
4.
Sixty percent of March’s sales will be outstanding, or $240,000 ($400,000 x 60%).
5.
Finished-goods inventories are maintained at 20% of the following month’s sales.
January sales total $380,000 ($152,000 + $228,000), or 9,500 units ($380,000 ÷ $40).
Thus, the December 31 inventory is 1,900 units (9,500 x 20%).

February sales will total 9,800 units ($392,000 ÷ $40), giving rise to a January 31
inventory of 1,960 units (9,800 x 20%). Letting X denote production, then:
12/31/x0 inventory + X – January 20x1 sales = 1/31/x1 inventory
1,900 + X - 9,500 = 1,960
X – 7,600 = 1,960

2.
Cash budgeting is important for Alpha-Tech because as sales grow, so will
expenditures for inputs. Since these expenditures generally precede cash receipts,
the company must plan for possible financing to cover the gap between payments
and receipts. The cash budget shows the probable cash position at certain points in
time, allowing the company to plan for borrowing, as Alpha-Tech must do in April.
Cash budgeting also facilitates the control of excess cash. The company may be
losing investment opportunities if excess cash is left idle. The cash budget alerts
management to periods when there will be excess cash available for investment,
thus facilitating financial planning and cash control.

PROBLEM 9-37 (40 MINUTES)
1.
The use of alternative accounting methods to manipulate reported earnings is unethical
because it violates the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Management Accountants. The
competence standard is violated because of failure to comply with technical standards
and lack of appropriate analysis. The integrity standard is violated because this action
induces people to carry out duties unethically due to extreme management pressure,
subverts the attainment of an organization's objectives, and discredits the profession.
The objectivity standard is violated because of failure to communicate information fully
and fairly.
2.
Yes, costs related to revenue should be expensed in the period in which the revenue is
recognized. Perishable supplies are purchased for use in the current period, will not
provide benefits in future periods, and should be matched against the revenue
recognized in the current period. The accounting treatment for the supplies was not in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
3.
Mats Günther’s actions were appropriate. Upon discovering the change in the method of
accounting for supplies, Günther brought the matter to the attention of his immediate
superior, Kern. Upon learning of the arrangement with Pristeel, Günther told Kern the
action was improper and requested that the accounts be corrected and the arrangement
discontinued. Günther clarified the situation with a qualified and objective peer
(advisor) before disclosing Kern's arrangement with Pristeel to TCC’s president, Kern's
immediate superior. Contact with levels above the immediate superior should be
initiated only with the superior's knowledge, assuming the superior is not involved. In
this case, the superior is involved. Thus, Günther has acted appropriately by
approaching Ritter without Kern's knowledge.

An organization would prepare a revised operating budget when the assumptions
underlying the original budget are no longer valid. The assumptions may involve
factors outside or inside the company. Changes in assumptions involving external
factors may include changes in demand for the company's products or services,
changes in the cost of various inputs to the company, or changes in the economic or
political environment in which the company operates. Changes in assumptions
involving internal factors may include changes in company goals or objectives.

Strategic planning identifies the overall objective of an organization and generally
considers the impact of external factors such as competitive forces, market demand,
and technological changes when identifying overall objectives. Budgeting is the
quantitative expression of plans evolving from strategic planning. The time horizon
for budgeting is generally a year, or an operating cycle, and greater attention is
focused on internal factors than on external factors.

For each of the financial objectives established by the board of directors and
president of Healthful Foods, Inc., the calculations to determine whether John
Winslow’s budget attains these objectives are presented in the following table.
CALCULATION OF FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES: HEALTHFUL FOODS, INC.
Objective
Increase sales by 12%
($850,000 × 1.12 = $952,000)
Increase before-tax income by 15%
($105,000 × 1.15 = $120,750)
Maintain long-term debt at or below
16% of assets
($2,050,000 × .16 = $328,000)
Maintain cost of goods sold at or below
70% of sales
($947,750 × .70 = $663,425)
3.
Attained/
Not Attained
Not attained
Calculations
($947,750$850,000)/$850,000 = 11.5%
Attained
($120,750$105,000)/$105,000 = 15%
Attained
$308,000/$2,050,000 = 15% (rounded)
Not attained
$669,500/$947,750 = 70.6% (rounded)
The accounting adjustments contemplated by John Winslow are unethical because
they will result in intentionally overstating income by understating the cost of goods
sold. The specific standards of ethical conduct for management accountants
violated by Winslow are as follows:
Competence. By making the accounting adjustments, Winslow violated the
competency standard by not preparing financial statements in accordance with
technical standards.
Integrity. Winslow violated the integrity standard by engaging in an activity that
prejudiced his ability to carry out his duties ethically, and by engaging in an activity
that appears to be a conflict of interest.
Credibility. By overstating the inventory and reclassifying certain costs, Winslow
has violated the credibility standard. He has failed to communicate information fairly
and objectively and has failed to disclose all relevant information that would
influence the users’ understanding of the report.
