Remark1: Manufacturing Costs

Manufacturing costs are divided into three groups:
Direct Material (DM) Costs
Cost of buying materials that will become part of output product
(e.g. cost of buying cocoa in Fazer Co.)
Direct Manufacturing Labor (DL) Costs
All cost associated with manufacturing labors who are directly related to
output products (e.g. wages and benefits paid to assembly-line workers who
convert direct materials to finished goods)
Manufacturing Overhead / Indirect Manufacturing Costs
All manufacturing costs that are indirectly related to the output product.
In other words, all manufacturing costs that cannot be put into DM or DL costs
(e.g. indirect materials such as lubricants,
indirect manufacturing labor such as plant maintenance and cleaning labor,
plant rent, plant insurance, property taxes on the plant, plant depreciation,
and the compensation of plant managers)

Remark2: Types of Inventory

Manufacturing-sector companies usually have one or more of the
following types of inventories:
Finished Goods (FG) Inventory includes products that are ready to
be sold (but not sold yet).

Direct Materials (DM) Inventory includes direct materials that will

later be used in production.
Work-in-Process / Work-in-Progress (WIP) Inventory includes
goods that are not complete yet (for example, mobile phones that are
at different stages of completion, but are not finished yet).

Sales Budget / Revenues Budget

A detailed plan which identifies the product (or service)
sales that are expected in the accounting period
Expressed in terms of both units & (or $, or etc.)
Prepared before any other budget
To prepare this budget, a sales forecast by managers
should be done.
Estimation of the future sales revenues is important:
It will affect the level of operating activities and the amount of
resources needed for the operations
When this estimation is done, other budgets can be developed
based on it.

Example 1: XYZ company

XYZ company is preparing budgets for the quarter ending in
June 30, 2014. (a) The budgeted sales for the months April to
August are as follows: 10000, 20000, 30000, 35000, and
40000 (all in units) respectively. Prepare a Sales Budget.

Production Budget
A detailed plan which shows the number of units a company
must produce to meet budgeted sales and budgeted
inventory levels
Expressed in terms of units
Production managers use this information to plan for the
materials and human resources that production activities will
requires
To prepare a production budget, managers must know:
Budgeted number of sales units (from the sales budget)
Desired level of ending inventory for each period in the
budget year

Production Budget
In inventory accounts, there are two items on
the debit side, and two items on the credit side

Direct Material Purchases/Usage Budget

A detailed plan that identifies
the quantity of direct materials required to meet budgeted
production & the cost of acquiring them (DM Usage)
the quantity of direct materials required to meet budgeted
production as well as inventory needs, and the costs
associated with purchasing them (DM Purchases)

To prepare a DM budget, managers must know:

The amount of production needs in the next period
Desired level of direct material inventory for each period
Per unit cost of direct materials

Direct Material Usage Budget

Example 1c: DM Purchases Budget

(c) At XYZ company, 5 Kg of materials are required per unit of
product. Management wants materials on hand at the end of
each month equal to 10% of the following months production.
On March 31, 10000 Kg of material are on hand. Material cost
is 0.50 per Kg. Prepare the Direct Materials Purchases
budget for the quarter.
What do we need?
- Amount of Production (from production budget)
- Material needed per unit of production ( = 5 Kg)
- Cost of raw material per unit ( = 0.50)

Example 1c: DM Purchases Budget (cont.)

The DM needs for July: 36000units * 5 Kg/unit = 180000 Kg
Junes ending inventory is equal to 10% of this, or 18000 Kg.

The company wants to maintain monthly ending

inventories of material equal to 20% of the following
months production needs. On March 31, this requirement
was not met since only 2500 meters of silk were on hand.
The cost of silk is 0.60 per meter.

Example 3 (cont.)
(b) What is the total cost of material to be purchased in
April?
SECOND APPROACH (without using the table):
We can directly use the formula to solve for the material needed
and then multiply it by the cost per unit of use the statement
method.
Additions to Inv. = Withdrawals EI + BI
Purchases of materials = Needed for production + Desired EI BI
= (14000 units * 3 meters) + 8700 2500
= 42000 8700 + 2500 = 28920

Direct (Manufacturing) Labor budget

A detailed plan that estimates the direct labor hours needed in an
accounting period and its associated cost.
Production Managers use estimated direct labor hours to plan:
How many employees will be required during the period?
How many hours each employee will work.

Accountants use estimated direct labor cost to plan:

Cash Payments to workers

HR managers use information on direct labor budget to:

Decide whether or not to hire new employees.

Reduce the existing work force (if necessary).
Train employees.
Prepare schedules of employee fringe benefits.

(d) At XYZ company, each unit of product requires 0.05 hours
(3 minutes) of direct labor. The company pays an hourly rate of
10. Prepare the Direct Labor budget for the quarter.
What do we need?
- Number of hours the labor works each month
- Per hour rate of payment to labor (to get the cost of labor for the
quarter in Euros)

Example 4
Lubriderm corporation (specialized in daily skin care
products) goes through two department in the production
process. Each bottle requires two direct labor hours in
dept. A and one hour in dept. B. Labor cost is 20 per
hour in dept. A and 15 per hour in dept. B. (a) Assuming
the amount budgeted to be produced in January is 30000
units, what is the budgeted direct labor cost for January?
(b) The labor capacity for a normal 8-hour shift for a
month is 50000 direct labor hours for each of the depts.
Overtime is paid at time and a half. What would be the
budgeted direct labor cost for January, assuming a
budgeted production of 30000 units?

Manufacturing Overhead (Costs) Budget

The manufacturing overhead budget contains all manufacturing
costs other than the costs of direct materials and direct labor.
The total of all costs in this overhead budget are converted into a
per-unit overhead allocation, which is used to derive the cost of
ending finished goods inventory, and which in turn is listed on the
budgeted balance sheet.
It may also be divided into fixed and variable (and maybe even
mixed) groups.
Examples: indirect materials (e.g. lubricants for machinery),
indirect labor (e.g. administrative salaries: wages paid to
manufacturing supervisors, the purchasing staff, production clerks,
and logistics planning staff), rent, utilities (e.g. electricity and heat),
factory insurance, factory taxes, etc.

Example 1e: MOH Budget

(e) At XYZ company, manufacturing overhead is applied to
units of products on the basis of direct labor hours. The variable
manufacturing overhead is 20 per direct labor hour. The fixed
manufacturing overhead is 30000 per month. Prepare XYZs
Manufacturing Overhead budget for the quarter.
What should we do?
Here, the variable MOH is only on the basis of direct labor hours, so:
- We need the number of hours worked each month (from DL budget)
- We should multiply it by variable rate to get total variable OH costs.
- Finally, we should add fixed MOH to the result of previous
multiplication to get total MOH costs.

Ending Inventory Budget

A detailed plan that estimates the cost of goods
(direct material, incomplete good, & finished good)
that are planned to be in the inventory at the end of
the period.
Can be prepared for any (or all) of the inventories
the company posses.

We do not consider the Ending Work-in-Process

inventory.

Ending DM Inventory Budget

For Ending DM inventory, it is easy! Just write the
amount of direct materials that are planned to be on
hand at the end of the period along with their costs.
At the end, the (cost of) EI of all direct materials should
be added together!

x
=

Target DM ending inventory

Cost of direct material per (its) unit
Total EI of direct materials

Ending FG Inventory Budget

The ending finished goods inventory budget
calculates the cost of the finished goods
inventory at the end of each budget period.

The ending finished goods inventory budget

contains per unit values of three main costs that
are required to be included in the inventory
asset: direct material, direct labor, & overhead.

Ending FG Inventory Budget

For DM part, multiply the cost of direct material by the
quantity of direct material needed for the production of
one unit of FG.
For DL part, multiply the cost of DL (per hour) by the
number of hours needed for production of one unit of
FG.
For MOH, it depends on the thing the cost is associated
with (we will see an example).
NOTE: total MOH costs divided by the required amount of
production gives the per unit MOH cost.

Cost of Goods Sold (CGS) Budget

Summary of companys expected costs of production
for the goods sold
Combines information from DM, DL, MOH and Ending
Inv. Budgets
For a CGS statement, we need:

Beginning FG inventory
Cost per unit of Beginning FG Inv.
Quantity of Units produced
Product cost per unit
Quantity of units in Ending inv. (its per unit cost is equal
to the FG cost)

Cost of Goods Sold (CGS) Budget

costs, customer service costs, labor costs of sales floor
personnel, distribution costs: costs of shipping products
to customers)
For service companies, this includes all costs that are
not directly related to the service offered
Similar to MOH, this cost can also have fixed and
variable parts (we will see an example!)
