Management specifies a given rate of return to be achieved in the long run and then draws up plans for achieving that rate. (b) A posteriori. Management draws up plans and then sets the rate resulting from the plans. (c) Pragmatic. Management uses a target profit standard that has been tested empirically and sanctioned by experience. 4) Long-range planning deals with specific areas of the company’s plans, such as future sales, long- term capital expenditures, research and development activities, financial requirements, and the profit goal. Short range budgeting places the planning and particularly control into periods of three, six, or twelve months. 5) A budget is a detailed financial statement of the organization’s strategy. It converts general strategy statements into specific plans of action, measured financially. It is related to control, because it is the fundamental guideline for what the organization should do. Thus, it is the benchmark against which actual performance is compared. This process of comparison is a vital part of the control function in the organization. 6) In carrying out management’s functions of planning, organizing, and control for the development of a budgetary control program, it is necessary to: (a) organize the budget committee (b) organize the entire budgetary control program (c) plan sales with the sales manager (d) determine the finished goods inventory requirement in harmony with the sales budget (e) plan production with the production manager based on the sales budget (f) meet with heads of all departments—both producing and service—relative to direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead costs required for the production budgeted (g) establish materials purchase requirements based on production planning, a department’s materials requirements, or the production budget (h) establish expense budgets with

Budgeting Profit, Sales, Costs & Expenses
Discussion Questions
1) Profit planning encompasses (a) sales estimating and sales planning programs; (b) budgeting programs for control of all costs, both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing; (c) planning and programming additions to or deletions from working capital and plant investment; and, (d) a review of all factors that have an impact on return on investment, both from a short-term viewpoint of one year and longer periods of time. The profit-planning function must not be merely financial in scope. It must disclose the methods and programs by which the financial goals are to be achieved.2) A budget is the expected target that management strives to achieve, whereas a forecast is a level of revenue or cost that an organization predicts will occur.3) The three approaches for setting profit objectives are: (a) A priori. Management specifies a given rate of return to be achieved in the long run and then draws up plans for achieving that rate. (b) A posteriori. Management draws up plans and then sets the rate resulting from the plans. (c) Pragmatic. Management uses a target profit standard that has been tested empirically and sanctioned by experience.4) Long-range planning deals with specific areas of the company’s plans, such as future sales, long-term capital expenditures, research and development activities, financial requirements, and the profit goal. Short range budgeting places the planning and particularly control into periods of three, six, or twelve months.5) A budget is a detailed financial statement of the organization’s strategy. It converts general strategy statements into specific plans of action, measured financially. It is related to control, because it is the fundamental guideline for what the organization should do. Thus, it is the benchmark against which actual performance is compared. This process of comparison is a vital part of the control function in the organization.6) In carrying out management’s functions of planning, organizing, and control for the development of a budgetary control program, it is necessary to: (a) organize the budget committee (b) organize the entire budgetary control program (c) plan sales with the sales manager (d) determine the finished goods inventory requirement in harmony with the sales budget (e) plan production with the production manager based on the sales budget (f) meet with heads of all departments—both producing
and service—relative to direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead costs required for the production budgeted (g) establish materials purchase requirements based on production planning, a department’s materials requirements, or the production budget (h) establish expense budgets with marketing, administrative, and financial division heads (i) budget capital expenditures and prepare a research and development budget. (j) Develop a cash budget (k) coordinate and summarize companywide budgets into a master budget— summarized in the budgeted income statement and balance sheet.7) The periodic budget represents a formal communication channel within a company for the following reasons: (a) The periodic budget involves a formal commitment on the part of management to take positive actions to make actual events correspond to the formal budget. (b) The periodic budget is usually reviewed and approved by a higher authority and, once approved, is changed only in unusual specified circumstances. (c) The periodic budget contains explicit statements of the implementation of management objectives for a period of time, published to all parties with control responsibility. (d) Comparison of actual results with the periodic budget forms the basis for management control, motivation, and performance evaluation.8) Budgets are required for planning, monitoring, and motivating, and because they include estimates, they always involve uncertainty. The process of budget preparation forces identification of variables and attempts at estimation. Reiteration should improve the process, and the process should cause a positive attitude to attain goals. Of course, a poorly estimated budget can cause dysfunctional behavior. In this situation, the budget should provide incentive for going after bids. The inclusion of budgeted and actual contribution margin data in periodic reports offers an early indication of below par contribution, or the possible need to reduce bid prices, or other corrective action that may be required. CGA-Canada (adapted).9) All employees (including executive management) must accept the importance of budgeting and be willing to participate fully in budget preparation and implementation, or the budget will not work.10) Commercial expenses are grouped into functions by their actions or operating units. These functions are looked upon as departments and should be set along organizational lines in order to identify the expense with an authorized and responsible individual. Grouping by products and by territories may be desirable as well.
11) The budgeted income statement summarizes in one statement the results of the complete plan of action. It expresses in financial terms the end results
of proposed plans. It can also be used to test the adequacy or inadequacy of those plans.

Three bushels of grain in the proportions of 2R:1S produce 198 lbs. of finished product. R weighs 70 lbs. per bushel and S weighs 80 lbs. per bushel.
Since each 198 lbs. of product calls for 220 lbs. of grain, the total weight of grain required for 2,070,000 lbs. is:220/198 ×2,070,000 = 2,300,000 lbs., to be apportioned as follows:
