Executive summary

Budgetary Planning and Control are very important and this report will classify the

Budgetary Planning and Control in three different cases:

Task 1:

Healthful food Inc. a manufacturer of breakfast cereals and snack bars, has experienced

several years of steady growth in sales, profits, and dividends while maintaining a

relatively low level of debts.

Truong Hai Tire Company’s

Task 2:

Task 1a

1. Budget play s important role in planning and control

Budgets Budgeting is an integral part of the management function of planning, organizing,

motivating and controlling. One of the central tools used to carry out the management function is

a budget.

Need for planning

All organizations attempt to use scarce resources to achieve their goals. Goals may be long term

or short term. To achieve long-term goals (usually five to ten years) it is necessary to develop

long term strategic plans. These plans are concerned with broad objectives and goals—for

example to expand into Asia—so they do not indulge in too much specific detail.

To achieve long-term goals we need to develop short-term strategies that are incorporated into

annual budgets. These short-term plans are more detailed and consider the means to attain goals.

The means by which these short-term plans are converted into action is through the budgeting

process.

Short-term plans tend to use more quantitative data to estimate the future. These include dollar

values, sales quantities, production units, inventory levels, number of personnel and financial

ratios.

Need for controlling

Whether planning is done formally (by the use of budgets) or informally (in the manager’s head)

it does not in itself guarantee business success, as it needs to be monitored and adjusted. This

function of monitoring and adjustments is called controlling.

Keeping in mind that all plans (budgets) are best estimates of the future, management needs to

monitor its progress at regular intervals. It needs feedback on achievements and shortfalls so that

it can take remedial action. To facilitate this process of monitoring, yearly budgets are broken

down into smaller chunks such as months or even weeks so that if remedial action needs to be

5

Page 6: 2M&L' A2 MA (1)

taken it will not be too late.

The promptness and accuracy of feedback reports is essential to the whole process of controlling.

The reports should compare actual results against the budget. These reports are known as

variance reports. They require analysis to assess the progress of budget outcomes. Minor

variances are usually ignored but significant variances must be investigated so that appropriate

corrective action can be undertaken. (highered, n.d)

2. Purposes of budgets

The use of budgets is vital if the organization is to correctly perform necessary management

functions. Budgets aid in the planning process. When employed appropriately they facilitate

communication and can act as a motivational tool. They are also used as a basis for control and

performance measurement.

Advantages of budgeting include:

Budgeting forces management to plan for the future—to develop an overall direction for

the organization, foresee problems, and develop future policies.

Budgeting helps convey significant information about the resource capabilities of an

organization, making better decisions possible. Example: A cash budget points out

potential shortfalls.

Budgeting helps set standards that can control the use of a company’s resources and

control and motivate employees.

Budgeting improves the communication of the plans of the organization to each

employee. Budgets also encourage coordination because the various areas and

activities of the organization must all work together to achieve the stated objectives.

(annon, 2013)

3. Select appropriate budgeting methods for the organization and its needs.

According scenario, long-term plans of the company to achieve profitability as well as the

criteria set out in the first 4 years. With the first year of the plan will be less profit the following

year (20x1 with the income statement and balance with the lowest value) to pay due debts and

money purchasing equipment, machinery, etc. so will help to reduce costs for the company more

profitable and achieve its objectives.

Incremental VS zero-based budgets:

Incremental

Begin with current year’s core budget and make incremental changes.

Review focuses on incremental changes and may ignore inefficiencies in core budget.

Advantage Disadvantage

• The model operates under a stable and

predictable system and any change will

be gradual.

• Managers can operate their departments

on a consistent basis.

• The system is relatively simple to

operate and easy to understand.

• Conflicts should be easily avoidable if

departments can be seen to be treated

similarly.

• It is Appropriate where there is a large

number of cost centres/budgets to

calculate and forecasts do not change

significantly from one year to the next

• Co-ordination between forecasts is

easier to achieve.

• It assumes that activities and methods

of working will continue in the same

way.

• It allows no proper incentive for

managers to develop new innovative

ideas.

• Its normally on an upward trend, hence

providing no incentive for managers to

reduce costs.

• It encourages spending up to the budget

limits so that future estimates are

maintained next year.

• The forecast may become out of date

and no longer relate to the level of

activity or type of work being carried

out.

• The priority for resource allocation may

7

Page 8: 2M&L' A2 MA (1)

• The impact of change can be seen

quickly.

have changed ever since the prior

estimates were originally set.

• May perpetuate past inefficiencies. In

other words incremental budgeting does

not cause serious challenge to the status

quo of managers concerned because

different methods of achieving

performance objectives are not put to

test

• There may be budgetary slack built into

the estimates, which is never reviewed.

In other words Managers might have

overestimated their requirements in the

past in order to obtain a forecast which

is easier to work towards, and which

will allow them to achieve favorable

results.

Advantage and disadvantage of Incremental budgeting

Zero-based

Each line in item in total must be justified each year.

Motivates managers to eliminate inefficient expenses.

Useful when firm is changing strategic direction.

Becomes less useful when same justifications are used each year

Advantage Disadvantage

It provides a systematic approach for The work involves in the creation of

8

Page 9: 2M&L' A2 MA (1)

the evaluation of different activities

and ranks them in order of preference

for the allocation of scarce resources.

It ensures that the various functions

undertaken by the organization are

critical for the achievement of its

objectives and are being performed in

the best possible way.

It provides an opportunity to the

management to allocate resources for

various activities only after having a

thorough cost-benefit-analysis. The

chances of arbitrary cuts and

enhancement are thus avoided.

The areas of wasteful expenditure can

be easily identified and eliminated.

Departmental budgets are closely

linked with corporation objectives.

The technique can also be used for the

introduction and implementation of the

system of ‘management by objective.’

Thus, it cannot only be used for

fulfillment of the objectives of

traditional budgeting but it can also be

used for a variety of other purposes.

decision-making and their subsequent

ranking has to be made on the basis of

new data. This process is very tedious

to management.

The activities selected for the purpose

of ZBB are on the basis of the

traditional functional departments. So

the consideration scheme may not be

implemented properly.

Advantage and disadvantage of zero-based (Management Accounting, n.d)

Fixed and Flexible

Fixed

9

Page 10: 2M&L' A2 MA (1)

A fixed budget, also known as a static budget, projects static levels of known income and

expenses over a set period of time. Fixed budgets are much simpler to create and to read than

flexible budgets and are generally acceptable for situations where the levels of income and

expense are not expected to fluctuate through the duration of the budgeting period.

Advantages:

No need to adjust your Budget each month.

Allow you to plan ahead.

Easier to track and keep your Budget

Works for People on a Fixed Income

Flexible

When a fixed budget is adjusted to account for variable results, it can be referred to as a

flexible budget. When implemented during the budgeting process, a flexible budget helps a

business account for future changes in any expense or income account. Multiple flexible

budgets drawn up to forecast various levels of economic activity may be complicated but

prepare a business well for any fluctuations in business levels, planned or otherwise.

Advantage Disadvantage

Uncertainty analysis

Improved performance evaluation

Useful variance analysis

Makes prediction difficult

Too many variables

Can't estimate taxes

Advantages and disadvantages of flexible

Top-down and bottom- up method

Bottom-up

• High deployment coverage in early phases

10

• Earlier return on investment

• High visibility of organizational changes

• Higher impact to organization

Advantage Disadvantage

•Realized in the early phases

•Easily in implement password a large

management

•Improve manage skill and knowledge

•You do not have to develop custom

adapters in the early phases.

• The organizational structure you

establish might have to be changed in a

later rollout phase.

• Because of the immediate changes to

repository owners and the user

population, the rollout will have a higher

impact earlier and require greater

cooperation.

• This strategy is driven by the existing

infrastructure instead of the business

processes.

Advantage and disadvantage of Bottom-up (IBM, n.d)

Top-down

• Tactical, limited coverage

• Delayed return on investment

• Lower impact to overall organization

• Higher deployment costs

Advantage Disadvantage

•Organization realizes a focused use of

Table 2: Cash budget with beginning cash balance is $10,000

Explain:

As we can see from the table, if the company needs a minimum cash balance of $10,000 to

start each month, the ending cash balance for each month always lower than total cash

disbursement. In fact, in September have to $3,100 to repayment, but in this case, the

company cannot pay on time in September. Therefore, the loan can’t be repaid as planned.

OVH = $5,700 - $6,000 = $300 F

Sales quantity variance = (Actual units – Budgeted units) x Budgeted sale price =

(2,500 units – 3,000 units) x ($23.2 - $18) = $2,600 U

ASP = Actual revenues

Actual units = $58,000

2,500units = $23.2

Sales price variance = (Actual sale price – Budgeted sale price) x Actual units sales =

($23.2 - $23.2) x 2,500 units = $0

Page 25: 2M&L' A2 MA (1)

Sale volume variance: sale volume variance can be unfavorable because of many reasons.

Two of them might be inaccurate predictions and decrease in demand. Inaccurate

prediction is caused by poor estimation of sale manager so sale manager should take the

responsibility. Moreover, they should improve estimation skill and strategic to increase

sale volume in the future. However, if the cause is decrease in demand, nobody will take

the responsibility because it depends on the market and it is very difficult to predict.

Material variance: material variance is easy to be unfavorable because material can be

lost a part in the production. This is unavoidable in production so the responsibility

belongs to no one. To solve this problem, they should maintain and check machine

regularly to avoid lost as much as possible. Another cause might be the increase in

market price and it usually happens because of the inflation. Therefore, they should use

interest rate when making budget to solve this issue.

Direct labor variance: direct labor variance can be unfavorable because of unforeseen

complexities and the increase in market price. Unforeseen complexities is often seen

when fire staff, sick employees… Devise contingency plans is the best way to deal with

this problem. The increase in market price is also a main cause and we need using interest

rate too.

Variable MOVH variance: a shortage in available indirect materials and utility costs to

run the machines high is 2 main causes which can make the unfavorable variable MOVH.

A shortage in available indirect materials must be the responsibility of the purchasing

manager and purchasing manager should improve estimate skill more. Utility cost to run

machine should be solved by anticipate costs that may arise.

Table 3: Operating Statement

As we can see from the table above, the value in Flexible budget is lower than Actual results in

direct materials, Direct labor, Variable factory OVH, Variable selling and administrative

expense. It means the budget is not better, or unfavorable than actual budget. Furthermore, in

26

Page 27: 2M&L' A2 MA (1)

Income from operation, the Actual result is lower than Flexible budget ($301,000 < $335,000).

Therefore, the Production Manager must have responsibility for this case because he is not

estimated correctly the amount to be used in production process
