The following data pertain to production policies and manufacturing specifications followed by
Briggs Manufacturing:
a) Finished goods inventory on January 1 is 32,000 units, each costing $148.71. The desired
ending inventory for each month is 80 percent of the next months sales.

borrowed to cover the shortage. Any cash borrowed is repaid at the end of the quarter, as is
the interest due. (Cash borrowed at the end of the quarter is repaid at the end of the
following quarter.) The interest rate is 12 percent per annum. No money is owed at the
beginning of January.

Prepare a monthly operating budget for the first quarter with the following schedules:
1. Sales budget
2. Production budget
3. Direct materials purchases budget
4. Direct labour budget
5. Overhead budget
6. Selling and administrative expenses budget
7. Ending finished goods inventory budget
8. Cost of goods sold budget
9. Budgeted income statement (ignore income taxes)
10. Cash budget
Solution
(1) The planning and control functions of budgeting can benefit all organizations regard- less
of size. All organizations need to determine what their goals are and how best to attain
those goals. This is the planning function of budgeting. In addition, organizations can
compare what actually happens with what was planned to see if the plans are un- folding

as anticipated. This is the control function of budgeting.


(2) Budgeting forces managers to plan, pro- vides resource information for decision making,
sets benchmarks for control and evaluation, and improves the functions of communication and
coordination.
(3) The sales forecast is a critical input for building the sales budget. However, it is not
necessarily equivalent to the sales budget. Upon receiving the sales forecast,
management may decide that the firm can do better than the forecast indicates.
Consequently, actions may be taken to increase the sales potential for the coming year
(e.g., increasing advertising). This adjusted fore- cast then becomes the sales budget.
(4) Participative budgeting is a system of budgeting that allows subordinate managers a say in
how the budgets are established. Participative budgeting fosters creativity and
communicates a sense of responsibility to subordinate managers. It also creates a
higher likelihood of goal congruence since managers have more of a tendency to make the
budgets goals their own personal goals.
