CHAPTER 8: STRATEGY AND THE MASTER BUDGET

QUESTIONS 8-1 Compel strategic planning and facilitate implementation of strategic plans. An organizations strategy, strategic plans, and budgets are interrelated. Preparing budgets compels reviews of an organizations strategy and its strategic plans and can facilitate implementations of the strategic plan. Feedback from budgets often results in improvements to an organizations strategy and strategic plan. Serve as a basis for performance evaluation. Budgets serve as the benchmark against which actual performance can be compared. Budgets are a better basis for judging performance than past performance for two reasons. First, budgeted amounts take into account expected changes and improvements in the environment. Second, past performance is a result of past events and operations and may not be suitable to serve as a benchmark. To the extent past performance was not effective/efficient it does not make sense to use this as the standard against which actual performance is compared. Motivate managers and employees. Budgets, if internalized, serve as goals for managers and employees and, if properly implemented, can motivate them toward achievements of the goals. Promote coordination and communication within the organization. Budgets compel managers to think of interdependencies and interrelationships among subunits of the organization. A budget is also a communication device that helps all employees and managers understand and accept the organizations objectives and expected roles and contributions over the coming period. Authorization to act. The approved budget, particularly in a not-for-profit setting, gives the manager authorization to act (make decisions, etc.). Other benefits include serving as a basis for resource allocation, aiding cash-flow management, and providing authorization documentation. 8-2 An organizations strategic plan describes how the organization matches its strengths and weaknesses with the opportunities and threats in the marketplace in order to accomplish its long-term goals (e.g., achieve sustainable competitive advantage). It is the guideline for the firms short-term and long-term operations. A strategic plan may extend over several budget periods (e.g., years) covered by a master budget. A master budget is a comprehensive operational plan of action for the coming year. It includes both operating budgets and financial budgets and culminates in a set of forecasted (i.e., pro-forma) financial statements (cash flow, income statement, and balance sheet). The strategic plan of a firm guides, in a general sense, the determination of the master budgets prepared annually by the organization. Specialized consulting companies now provide software that can be used to integrate master budgets with strategic plans as part of a comprehensive performance management system.

8-3 A master budget is a comprehensive plan of action for an organization for a future period while a capital budget is an investment (and financing) plan for a major project or program that has long-range effects on operations. As indicated in text Exhibit 8.3, resources specified in the capital budget of the current period are included in the master budget of the period. 8-4 A master budget is a comprehensive plan of action for a future period; as such, the master budget includes both operating and financial budgets. An operating budget consists of plans regarding revenues and resource acquisition/use across all major operating areas of the organization (e.g., sales, production, purchasing, marketing, research and development, and general administrative activities). The set of operating budgets culminates in a budgeted income statement. Financial budgets relate to sources and uses of funds for an upcoming period. The set of financial budgets culminates in a budgeted cash flow statement and budgeted balance sheet. 8-5 Successful budgeting systems typically: have full support by one or more key managers in the organization become personalized budgets of the people who have the responsibility for carrying them out; as such, they serve an important motivational function are perceived by managers and employees as planning and coordinating tools, not pressure devices or mechanisms designed to stifle creativity and opportunity are not viewed as a basis for placing blame. provide for a two-way flow of information in the budget-preparation process include budgets that are highly achievable 8-6 The budget committee of an organization is the highest authority in the organization for all matters related to the budget. The committee sets or approves the overall budget goals for the organization and its major business units, directs and coordinates budget preparation, resolves conflicts and differences that may arise during the budget-preparation process, approves the final budget, monitors operations as the year unfolds, and reviews operating results at the end of the period. The budget committee also approves major revisions of the budget during the period. 8-7 No, these terms are not synonymous. The term sales forecast refers to estimated sales volume for an upcoming period. As such, the sales forecast is generally the starting point in preparing the sales budget for the period. The term sales budget refers to forecasted sales dollars for an upcoming period. Alternatively, rather than focusing on the difference between sales volume and sales dollars, some writers distinguish between these two terms on the basis of the level of control: we use the term sales forecast to refer to both units and dollars because, unlike costs, these elements are affected by external (e.g., competitor actions) as well as internal factors (e.g., product promotion expenditures).

8-8 The sales budget is often regarded as the cornerstone in the master budget because all operating activities in a business emanate from efforts to attain the level of sales specified in the sales budget. A firm can complete the plan for other activities of a period only after it knows the expected sales levels for the current and the immediate future periods. A manufacturing firm, for example, cannot complete its production schedule for the upcoming period without knowing the number of units it must produce for each of its products. The firm can ascertain the number of units to be produced only after it knows both forecasted sales and the desired ending inventory. The units to be produced, in turn, affect many other activities of the firm including amount and kinds of materials to be purchased, number of employees to be hired, levels of factory overhead, and selling and administrative expenses. 8-9 When sales volume is seasonal in nature, the three most significant items to coordinate are: production volume, finished goods inventory, and sales volume. 8-10 Additional factors include: beginning and desired ending inventories of work-in-process and finished goods the required material inputs (in lbs., liters, etc.) for each product beginning and desired ending inventories of direct materials the cost of materials (per lb., liter, etc.) 8-11 The two factors that determine the amount of factory overhead for a period are management decision and planned production volume. The former refers to capacity-related (i.e., fixed overhead) costs while the latter refers to the planned utilization of that capacity (i.e., variable overhead costs). 8-12 A cash budget generally includes three major components: Cash available (i.e., beginning cash balance plus budgeted cash receipts) Cash disbursements (other than interest expense), and Financing activity (new financing, repayment of principal, and interest expense) 8-13 The following are some of the similarities between cash budgets and cash-flow statements required by GAAP: Both include sources and uses of funds Both are prepared for a period of time Neither includes any non-cash revenues and expenses Among differences between these two statements are: A cash-flow statement reports the results of past activities while a cash budget describes effects of planned operations. A firm needs to follow GAAP in preparing cash-flow statement while the guiding principle for preparing a cash budget is relevance and usefulness to management.

The major categories of cash-flow statements are operating, financing, and investing activities. Each of these categories may include both sources and uses of cash. The major categories of cash budgets are cash available, cash disbursements, and financing. Both cash available and cash disbursements may include cash from either operating or investing activities. 8-14 In comparison with manufacturing organizations, unique budget characteristics of service organizations include: absence of production and materials purchases budgets emphasis on workforce planning 8-15 In contrast to business firms (i.e., for-profit entities), a not-for-profit organization: has no single bottom-line amount such as operating income is more likely to use its budgets as the source of authorization for its activities limits the total amount in the budget to the expected total revenues (Federal budgets are exceptions) 8-16 Zero-base budgeting (ZBB) is a budgeting process that requires managers to prepare budgets each period from ground zero for all operations. A typical budgeting process is incremental in nature. That is, budgets for the upcoming period start from the approved budgets for the current period, with amounts added to reflect planned changes for the upcoming period. Thus, traditional budgets assume that most, if not all, of the current activities and functions will continue into the coming budget period. In contrast, a zero-base budgeting process allows no activities or functions to be included in the budget unless managers can justify their need. Pure forms of ZBB are expensive and time-consuming. For this reason, some companies have partial ZBB systems. A number of companies (e.g., Xerox, Texas Instruments) and government organizations (e.g., State of Georgia) have at one time or another used ZBB. 8-17 No. Kaizen budgeting is a budgeting approach that explicitly incorporates continuous improvement standards/expectations in the approved budgets. In contrast, activity-based budgeting (ABB) is a budgeting process that relies on the costs of activities and activity-cost drivers to prepare budgets. In other words, ABB develops master budget data using the organizations activity-based cost (ABC) system. Thus, ABB begins by quantifying products and services to be produced for an upcoming period. These forecasts are then used to estimate the amount of activities, across the internal value chain, that are needed to meet forecasted output (products or services). The budgeting process is completed by assigning estimated resource costs to the specified activities. Both American Express and AT&T Paradyne provide examples of actual implementation of ABB systems. See, Player, S. & Keys, D. E. (eds.), Activity-Based Management: Arthur Andersens Lessons from the ABM Battlefield. New York: John Wiley & Sons, 1999.

8-18 Budgetary slack, or "padding" the budget, is the practice of knowingly including a higher amount of expenditure in the budget (or lower amount of revenue) than managers actually believe should be the case. One reason that it is common to find slacks in budgets is the desire of managers to use such slack as a cushion for unpredictable/uncontrollable future events (e.g., worker attrition, machine breakdowns/malfunctions). Another reason is the increased recognition or reward that might accrue to those who beat their budget target. Finally, managers may believe that the budgets they submit will be cut in the budget negotiation process. Therefore, such managers must pad their budgets in order to secure the amount of resources they feel they actually need. 8-19 A highly achievable budget has a target that is achievable by most managers most of the time (e.g., 80 to 90 percent of the time). In a study by Merchant (1990), the author finds that a budget with a highly achievable target serves well in the vast majority of organizational situations, especially when accompanied by extra rewards for performance exceeding the target. Among the advantages of using a highly achievable budget target are the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. Increasing managers' commitment to achieving the budget target. Maintaining managers' confidence in the budget. Decreasing organizational control cost. Reducing the risk that managers will engage in harmful earningsmanagement practices or violate corporate ethical standards. 5. Allowing effective and efficient managers greater operating flexibility. 6. Improving predictability of earnings or operating results. 7. Enhancing the usefulness of a budget as a planning and coordinating tool.

8-20 Participative budgeting is a bottom-up approach that involves everyone in the budget-preparation processfrom low-level workers all the way to the top managers of the organization. The principal idea is to have employees/managers internalize (i.e., take ownership of) the budgets that are prepared. For participative budgeting to be effective, top management needs to be actively involved. Furthermore, top management should institute incentives to guard against excessive budget padding, and encourage the generation of accurate budgetary projections. Finally, top managers may have to serve as arbiters when irreconcilable differences occur in the budget preparation process.

EXERCISES 8-31 What-If Analysis (20 Minutes) 1. The term what if analysis is one example of the more general term sensitivity analysis and is used to explore the effects (e.g., on a decision or a budget for an upcoming period) of different marketing, production, or selling strategies (e.g., the effect on revenues of lowering product selling prices, the profit-effect of using a different sales-promotion plan). That is, a what-if analysis examines how a result will change if the original (base-line) data are not achieved or, as in the present case, if an underlying assumption (viz., rate of bad-debts expense) changes. 2.

3. Managers today work in a world of uncertainty. One way to cope with uncertainty in the master budgeting process is to model the underlying relationships associated with the various budgets that are prepared and then to perform sensitivity analysis. One form of sensitivity analysis is the what-if analysis described above. For Tyson Company, this type of analysis can help the firm decide whether it might need to implement a more restrictive credit-granting policy and, if so, how much it might be willing to spend in this regard.

8-32 Behavioral Considerations (15 Minutes) There are at least two issues here. One is the failure to take advantage of all the cash discount included in the sales term. (In this regard, see Exercise 8-37.) The other is the constant occurrence of rush orders, last-minute changes, and other operating emergencies that require the purchasing department to do last minute purchases. Janet needs to ensure that the Accounting Department records all purchases at the net price whenever a purchase is made with cash discounts included in the sales terms. Any additional amount that the firm has to pay because of the failure to make the payment within the payment terms should be charged to the finance department as a loss and not treated as an adjustment to the cost of purchase. The firm needs to be very clear in its operating procedures about the minimum amount of time required for purchases. Any additional acquisition cost because of rush orders, last-minute changes, or operating emergencies should be borne by the department making the request.

8-33 Budgetary Slack and Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB) (20 minutes) 1. Budgetary slack is a planned difference between budgeted revenue and expected revenue, and/or budgeted expenditures and expected expenditures. Budgetary slack describes the tendency of managers to under-estimate revenues and over-estimate expenditures during the budgetary process in order to build in allowances (cushions) for unexpected declines in revenue and/or unforeseen expenses. Budgetary slack occurs because of conflicts between the personal interests of a manager and the interests of the organization. These conflicts include pressure from top management to achieve budgets and the desire on the part of the manager to look favorable in the eyes of top management. 2. a. From the point of view of the business unit manager, budgetary slack provides: performance that will look better in the eyes of their superiors a coping mechanism regarding uncertainty a way to obtain what is needed since initially submitted budgets tend to be cut during the budget-negotiation process However, the use of budgetary slack limits the objective evaluation of a business unit and, therefore, limits the objective evaluation of the performance of the unit manager. It also becomes more difficult for the business unit manager to evaluate the performance of subordinates and to use the budget as a control mechanism over subordinate performance. b. From the perspective of corporate management, the use of budgetary slack increases the probability that budgets will be achieved. This increased probability facilitates the overall corporate budgeting process. Corporate management may also allow budgetary slack as a form of reward to managers for previous good performance. However, from the point of view of the business unit management, the use of budgetary slack increases the likelihood of inefficient allocation of scarce resources, and decreases the ability to identify potential weaknesses or trouble spots in operating activities.

8-33 (Continued) 3. a. Zero-based budgeting (ZBB) is a budgeting technique that evaluates all proposed operating and administrative expenditures as though they were being initiated for the first time. Each manager must evaluate the proposed expenditure for each activity to be undertaken during the upcoming budget period, investigate alternative means of conducting each activity, and rank expenditures in order of perceived importance. b. Atlantis Laboratories could benefit from ZBB as each of the business unit managers would be required to identify and justify all proposed expenditures for the upcoming year. This increased evaluation of expenditures would make it difficult to include budgetary slack in the budget for the upcoming year and likely uncover opportunities of cost savings and operational improvements. c. The biggest disadvantage of ZBB is the significant amount of time and cost involved in its implementation. In addition, the concept of zero-based budgeting may be difficult for management to learn and accept. Atlantis must be sure that the benefits of ZBB outweigh the associated costs.

3. The financial cost of not taking advantage of the early-payment discount can be approximated by the following formula: Opportunity cost (%) = [discount %/(1 - discount %)] x [365/no. of extra days allowed if discount is not taken] = [0.02/(1 - 0.02)] x [365/20] = 0.020408 x 18.25 = 37.25% Basically, if you choose not to take the early-payment discount, you are giving up a 2% discount (on the net amount) in return for an extra 20 days in which to pay. There are 18.25 (365/20) 20-day periods in a year. Note that in the first term of this formula we divide the 2% discount rate by 98% (1 - 2%) because, in effect, you are paying 2% to delay for 20 days paying 98% of the total bill. So, the percentage rate you are paying in this case is really 2.0408% of the net bill (the bill without financing cost). Regardless of the technicalities here, students should understand that the opportunity cost of not taking advantage of the early-payment (cash) discount can be very significant, as is the case here. For this reason, firms record purchases at net cost and any discounts lost as interest expense.

8-37 Purchase Discounts on Credit Purchases (20 minutes) The financial cost of not taking advantage of the early-payment discount for purchases made on credit can be approximated by the following formula (we use the term approximate here to denote the fact that the estimate below does not assume compounding of interest and as such provides a conservative estimate): Opportunity cost (%) = [discount %/(1 - discount %)] x [365/no. of extra days allowed if discount is not taken] 1. In the case of 2/10, n/30, the approximate economic cost of not taking advantage of the early-payment discount is: = [0.02/(1 - 0.02)] x [365/20] = 0.020408 x 18.25 = 37.25% Basically, if you choose not to take the early-payment discount, you are giving up a 2% discount (on the net amount) in return for an extra 20 days in which to pay. There are 18.25 (365/20) 20-day periods in a year. Note that in the first term of this formula we divide the 2% discount rate by 98% (1 - 2%) because, in effect, you are paying 2% to delay for 20 days paying 98% of the total bill. So, the percentage rate you are paying in this case is really 2.0408% of the net bill (the bill without financing cost). 2. In the case of 1/10, n/30, the opportunity cost of not taking advantage of the early-payment cash discount is: = [0.01/(1 - 0.01)] x [365/20] = 0.010101 x 18.25 = 18.43% 3. Given the significant opportunity cost of not taking advantage of early-payment cash discounts, good accounting practice would be to record purchases at their net-of-discount amount and then to record as interest expense or purchase discounts lost any cash discounts not taken advantage of.

8-45 Budgeting: Not-for-Profit Sector (25 minutes) 1. Stewardship is defined by Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary as the conducting, supervising, or managing of something; especially: the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one' s care. The Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines cited states: Although it is a moral and legal fiduciary responsibility of the trustees to ensure an adequate return on investment for the support of the work of the church, their stewardship embraces broader moral concerns. Also, the principles of stewardship lists two fundamental and interdependent principles: The Conference should exercise responsible financial stewardship over its economic resources. and The Conference should exercise ethical and social stewardship in its investment policy. The latter states: Socially responsible investment involves investment strategies based on Catholic moral principles. These strategies are based on the moral demands posed by the virtues of prudence and justice. They recognize the reality that socially beneficial activities and socially undesirable or even immoral activities are often inextricably linked in the products produced and the policies followed by individual corporations. Given the realities of mergers, buyouts and conglomeration, it is increasingly likely that investments will be in companies whose policies or products make the holding of their stock a "mixed investment" from a moral and social point of view. Nevertheless, by prudently applying traditional Catholic moral teaching, and employing traditional principles on cooperation and toleration, as well as the duty to avoid scandal, the Conference can reflect moral and social teaching in investments. 2. These two major principles work together to encourage the Conference to identify investment opportunities that meet both our financial needs and our social criteria. These principles are carried out through strategies that seek: 1) to avoid participation in harmful activities, 2) to use the Conference' s role as stockholder for social stewardship, and 3) to promote the common good. 3. No. (Reasons should vary.) 4. Yes.

2. Appropriate accounting treatment for: a) Bank service (collection) fees: these can be considered an offset to gross sales and thus can be reflected as a deduction in determining net sales (see text Exhibit 8.15). Alternatively, these amounts can be considered selling expenses and, as such, be treated as an operating expense, (i.e., an element of Selling and Administrative Expenses on the Income Statement). b) Cash discounts allowed on collection of receivables: these can be considered a selling expense and, as such, would be included within the Selling and Administrative expense category on the Income Statement.

Factors that may influence the success of a continuous improvement (Kaizen) program include: Reasonable or achievable cost reductions. Awareness of all employees on the expected (scheduled) cost improvements over at least the immediate future periods. Acceptance by both management and employees. Commitment of both management and employees on the strategic importance of the success of the continuous improvement program. Close link between the scheduled improvements and performance evaluations and rewards. Cost reductions possible from small, incremental improvements, not from large discontinuous changes in factors such as operating processes, capital equipment, supplier networks, or customer interactions.

8-49 (Continued) 4. Primary criticisms of Kaizen (continuous improvement) budgets include the following: The budgeting process tends to place enormous pressure on employees to reduce all costs, which can lead to employee burnout. The use of Kaizen budgets tends to motivate small, incremental rather than major/significant process improvements. If the Kaizen targets are confined to the manufacturing function (including product and process design engineering), frictions can arise if manufacturing believes that other parts of the organization (e.g., marketing) are not subjected to the same budgetary pressure.

8-52 Budgetary Pressure and Ethics (20-25 minutes) 1. The use of alternative accounting methods to manipulate reported earnings is professionally unethical because it violates the Standards contained in the IMAs Statement of Ethical Professional Practice (see: www.imanet.org). The Competence standard is violated because of failure to perform duties in accordance with relevant accounting (technical) standards. It can probably be argued that the competence standard is also violated because the accountant is not providing information that is accurate. The Integrity standard is violated because the underlying activity would discredit the profession. The Credibility standard is violated because of failure to communicate information fairly and objectively. 2. Yes, costs related to revenue should be expensed in the period in which the revenue is recognized (matching principle). Perishable supplies are purchased for use in the current period, will not provide benefits in future periods, and should therefore be matched against revenue recognized in the current period. In short, the accounting treatment for supplies was not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Note that similar issues, but on an extremely large basis, occurred at WorldCom and at Global Crossing. In the case of the latter, the company was engaging simultaneously in contracts to buy and to sell bandwidth, treating the former as capitalized expenses and the latter as revenue for the current accounting period. 3. The actions of Gary Woods were appropriate. Upon discovering how supplies were being accounted for, Wood brought the matter to the attention of his immediate superior, Gonzales. Upon learning of the arrangement with P&R, Wood told Gonzales that the action was improper; he then requested that the accounts be corrected and the arrangement discontinued. Wood clarified the situation with a qualified and objective peer (advisor) before disclosing Gonzaless arrangement with P&R to Belcos division manager, Tom LinGonzaless immediate superior. Contact with levels above the immediate superior should be initiated only with the superiors knowledge, assuming the superior is not involved. In this case, however, the superior is involved. According to the IMAs statement regarding Resolution of Ethical Conduct, Wood acted appropriately by approaching Lin without Gonzaless knowledge and by having a confidential discussion with an impartial advisor.

PROBLEMS 8-53 Small business budgets (30 minutes) 1. Key features that need to be considered in developing a profit plan for a small business include: Estimation of key factors such as revenues (sales demand, sales price) and expenses for the budget period. Systematic evaluation of all available resources (materials, labor, technology) and their utilization rates. Coordination of related functions or elements, such as scheduling production to meet sales forecasts or providing sufficient capacity to meet sales demand. Critical evaluations of non-operational sources and uses of cash. Nonoperational items may pose a more serious threat to small businesses than to large businesses. Greater control over monthly cash flows and short-term financing than may be necessary in large enterprises. Greater needs for continuous budgeting than for large organizations, because of the higher risks associated with economic, competitive, and financial factors for small businesses. 2. The management accountant must exercise care to ensure that the small business manager does not suffer from information overload (i.e., strive for simplicity and parsimony). A profit-management system should be established that captures sufficient data on a timely basis to allow a reasonable level of operational control and evaluation without becoming too costly or too sophisticated for the business. Many large enterprises may continue operations simply by inertia. With small businesses, a strategic plan linked to the master budget is critical, especially in the early stage of a products life cycle. The concepts of activity-based management (ABM), total quality management (TQM), logistics management, life-cycle and target costing, and constraints- management (e.g., Theory of Constraints) are essential for the long-run survival and growth of small businesses. 3. The management accountant can insist upon, and assist in the preparation of, continuous cash budgets. These cash-flow reports should identify the major operational and nonoperational sources and uses of cash, and point out the periods of potential cash shortages or surpluses. This will facilitate planning for short-term lines-of-credit financing and short-term investments. A profit-management system should be created, utilizing the principles of activity-based costing (ABC) and cost-variance reporting including activity-based standard costing and activity-based cost variances. Segmented income statements comparing budgeted to actual results with profit-variance summaries should be an integral component of the high-quality profit-management system.

8-54 Ethics in Budgeting/Budgetary Slack (40 minutes) 1. a. The reasons that Marge Atkins and Pete Granger use budgetary slack include the following: These employees are hedging against the unexpected (i.e., they use slack to deal with or reduce uncertainty and risk). Budgetary slack allows employees to look good, (i.e., to exceed expectations and/or show consistent performance). This is particularly important when performance is evaluated on the basis of actual versus budgeted results. Employees who are able to blend personal and organizational goals through budgetary slack and show good performance generally are rewarded with higher salaries, promotions, and bonuses. By padding the budget, the manager is more likely to get what he/she actually needs in terms of resources for the upcoming period. b. The use of budgetary slack can adversely affect Atkins and Granger by: limiting the usefulness of the budget to motivate their employees to top performance affecting their ability to identify trouble spots and take appropriate corrective action reducing their credibility in the eyes of management reducing the ability of top management to effectively allocate resources to organizational subunits on the basis of actual economic performance. For example, the use of budgetary slack may affect management decision-making, as the budgets will show lower contribution margins (lower sales, higher expenses). Decisions regarding the profitability of product lines, staffing levels, incentives, etc. could have an adverse effect on Atkins' s and Granger' s departments. 2. The use of budgetary slack, particularly if it has a detrimental effect on the company, may be unethical. In assessing the situation, the IMAs Statement of Ethical Professional Practice can be consulted (www.imanet.org). This statement notes that a commitment to ethical professional practice includes: overarching principles (expressions of core values) and a set of standards intended to guide actual conduct and practice.

8-54 (Continued) The IMAs overarching PRINCIPLES include: Honesty, Fairness, Objectivity, and Responsibility. The list of STANDARDS includes the following: Competence, Confidentiality, Integrity, and Credibility. The following Standards could be referenced in conjunction with the use of budgetary slack, as described above: Competence: Provide decision support information and recommendations that are accurate, clear, concise, and timely. Integrity: Refrain from engaging in any conduct that would prejudice carrying out duties ethically. Credibility: Communicate information fairly and objectively; disclose all relevant information that could reasonably be expected to influence an intended users understanding of the reports, analyses, or recommendations. Though not asked for in the original CMA exam problem, you might want to discuss with students how, in practice, they would deal with ethical dilemmas. In its Resolution of Ethical Conflict statement the IMA provides the following guidance: 1. Discuss the issue with your immediate supervisor except when it appears that the supervisor is involved. In that case, present the issue to the next level. If you cannot achieve a satisfactory resolution, submit the issue to the next management level. If your immediate superior is the chief executive officer or equivalent, the acceptable reviewing authority may be a group such as the audit committee, executive committee, board of directors, board of trustees, or owners. Contact with levels above the immediate superior should be initiated only with your superiors knowledge, assuming he or she is not involved. Communication of such problems to authorities or individuals not employed or engaged by the organization is not considered appropriate, unless you believe there is a clear violation of the law. 2. Clarify relevant ethical issues by initiating a confidential discussion with an IMA Ethics Counselor or other impartial advisor to obtain a better understanding of possible courses of action. 3. Consult your own attorney as to legal obligations and rights concerning the ethical conflict.

8-55 Master Budget (40-45 minutes) 1. The benefits that can be derived from implementing a master budgeting system include the following: The preparation of budgets forces management to plan ahead and to establish goals and objectives that can be quantified. Budgeting compels departmental managers to make plans that are in congruence with the plans of other departments as well as the objectives of the entire firm. The budgeting process promotes internal communication and coordination of subunit activities. Budgets provide directions for day-to-day operations, clarify duties to be performed, and assign responsibility for these duties. Budgets provide a framework for measuring financial performance. A properly implemented budgeting system can motivate employees and managers to higher levels of performance, particularly if goals and outputs are linked through appropriate incentives. Budgets allow managers to anticipate problem areas (e.g., cash short-falls) and opportunities (e.g., short-term investment of excess cash).

8-57 (Continued-5) Answers: 1. The projected increase in after-tax operating income = $649,132 $472,860 = $176,272 2. While the changes are projected to increase after-tax operating income, the company should examine the decision more closely. Although the company increases its after-tax operating income by 37% ($176,272/$472,860), it requires a doubling of units of D57 to achieve this. In fact, a 100% increase in units sold of D57 increases the gross profit of D57 from $758,700 to $890,921, an increase of $132,221, while the total change in gross profit is $293,786 (from $1,433,100 to $1,726,886). The 100% increase in D57 accounts for only 45% ($132,221 $293,786) of the increase in gross profit; C12 contributes 55% of the increase. Further, the price increase in C12 has no effect on the units sold. This may be an indication that C12 may have a higher potential than the firm perceived.

The firm can reduce the need for working capital by $2,113,329. The final net savings depends on the cost of capital of the firm. At 10%, the company saves financing costs of over $200,000 per year. The firm can save more than $211,333 per year if the cost of capital exceeds 10%. Note that this estimate refers to financing (cost-of-capitalrelated) costs, not operating costs. b. Yes. Under the assumption that the companys cost of capital is 10%, the economic savings would represent about 4% of its current pre-tax operating income figure, as shown below. Note that these savings put the company in an improved economic position, although the formal accounting statements might not reflect this. As such, this gives the instructor the opportunity to discuss with students the notion of Economic Value Added (EVA) as alternative financial performance indicator to conventional accounting income statements.

8-62 Budgets for a Service Firm (50 Minutes) 1. The annual cash budget is presented on the next page. 2. Operating problems that Triple-F Health Club could experience include: The cash contribution from lessons and classes will decrease because the projected wage increase for lesson and class employees is significantly greater than the projected increases in revenues (i.e., in additional volume). Last year, the cash generated from these operations was $39,000 ($234,000 $195,000). The 2009 projection is only $12,675 ($304,200 $291,525). Operating expenses are increasing faster than revenues from membership fees. Last year (2008), cash generated from regular operations was $91,000 [($355,000 + $2,000) ($461,000 $195,000)]. The 2009 projection is only $92,482 [($402,215 + $2,667) ($603,925 $291,525)]. The increase in cash from regular operations is projected to be about 4%, whereas these revenues are projected to increase 13%. Triple-F Health Club seems to have a cash-management problem. The club does not generate enough cash from operations to meet its obligations. It may not be able to meet expenditures for day-to-day operations if the trend continues. To avoid cash crises, the club should prepare monthly cash budgets to help cash management. Non-operational payments are projected to use up virtually all of the cash generated from operations. Given the recent declines in mortgage interest rates, management should consider refinancing this debt to reduce this cash drain. 3. Jane Crowe' s concern with regard to the Board' s expansion goals is justified. The 2009 budget projections show only a minimal increase in the cash balance (i.e., an increase of only $2,757). The total cash available is well short of the $60,000 annual additional cash needed for the land purchase. If the Board desires to purchase the adjoining property, it is going to have to consider increases in fees, refinancing existing debt, or other methods of financing the acquisition (such as additional mortgage debt or membership bonds).

2. In order to achieve the monthly targeted cost of $350,000, the rate of telephone and mailing costs cannot increase at all (as is the case in the proposed budget); in fact, the results of the goal seek analysis indicates that such rates must be decreased by approximately 43%, as shown below:

These results are generated by completing the following dialog box that appears after activating the goal-seek command from the Tools menu in Excel:

3. As indicated in the text, budgets can be used both for control and for planning purposes. The relative importance of each can be linked either to the competitive strategy the business is pursuing or to the product life-cycle. In the present case (startup company, competing on the basis of a product-differentiation strategy), the relative emphasis of the marketing budget is likely more for planning than control. That is, the information contained in this budget can assist the company in determining its financing needs. However, it probably should not be used for controlling (i.e., cutting) expenses in situations where the underlying expenditures are determinants of competitive success. Further, many types of so-called discretionary costs (such as marketing) are fixed (or at least sticky) and therefore difficult to cut in the short run. As such, the primary benefit of the budget in such cases is to better plan for, rather than control, the underlying expenses.

8-64 Strategy, product life-cycle, and cash flow (25-30 minutes) 1. The development stage is generally characterized by large cash outflows and little or no cash inflows. Expenditures for research and development, plant and equipment, retooling, distribution, and promotion are required. During this stage, a project or company normally generates losses and may require an infusion of outside capital. During the growth stage, sales and revenues rise rapidly. Significant cash inflows are generally present; however, these may be offset in part or completely by cash outflows to build production capacity and for growing inventories and receivables. During this stage, manufacturing efficiencies will improve contribution margins as volume increases. During the maturity stage, net cash inflows are generally at an optimum. Production capacity is in place and inventories and receivables should approach a steady state. However, by this stage, competitors generally have entered the market resulting in higher promotional costs to maintain market share. As a consequence, margins may begin to decline. During the decline stage, both sales volume and profits fall. Increased price competition and the increased availability of alternative products will reduce margins. The declining volume will generally increase the unit cost at the manufacturing level. Sometimes, significant cash inflows can be generated from the liquidation of inventories and other product-related assets. 2. The maturity stage, the period of optimum net cash inflows, is missing from Burke Company' s product cycle. The company must be able to generate or raise sufficient cash to support R & D, capital investment, and promotional costs during the development stages and depend on the growth stage for significant cash inflows. This will require rapid improvement in manufacturing efficiencies and careful investment in production facilities and inventories. In addition, inventory control is extremely important in order to minimize cash investment and reduce potential obsolescence. 3. The techniques that Devin Ward should consider to cope with Burke Company' s cashmanagement problems include: careful, timely cash-flow projections and monitoring, matching the cash receipts from products in the growth stage with the expenditures for products in the development stage. establishing good banking relationships and flexible lines of credit to facilitate shortterm borrowing needs. aggressive accounts-receivable management. tight control of materials purchasing and inventory management. improved cost controls. timely decisions on inventory liquidation as product life cycles near collapse.

8-65 Continuous budgeting (25-30 minutes) 1.a. The increase in sales could have the following effects on production: Production capacity may have to be reallocated to the three models based upon the composition of the sales increase. Some parts, in addition to the molded doors, may have to be purchased from outside suppliers. Depending upon the ability to purchase parts from outside suppliers and longterm sales projections, additional capacity may be required. 1.b. The increase in sales could have the following effects on finance and accounting: Short-term financing may be needed to finance increased receivable levels and for the replacement of depleted inventories. Long-term financing may be needed to expand production capacity. Budgeting may have to be revised because sales volume is probably beyond the relevant range assumed for the current budget. 1.c. The increase in sales could have the following effects on marketing: The need to advertise will probably decrease. Investigation into the credit-worthiness of potential credit customers may need to become more thorough and the number of investigations will probably increase. Collection efforts may have to be increased unless credit-granting is tightened. Customers may have to accept extended shipping dates or may receive units on some rational basis of output allocation.

1.d. The increase in sales could have the following effects on personnel: Increased stress levels because of the increased volume. Need to schedule additional shifts or overtime, which the employees may deem unnecessary or not beneficial. Need to hire additional workers to meet the increase in demand. 2.a. A continuous (rolling) budget is the preparation of a new twelve-month budget as each period (e.g., month, quarter) is completed. At the end of each period, the budget amounts for the period just completed are deleted, the amounts for the remaining periods of the old budget are revised as necessary, and budgeted amounts for the new period are added. Thus, a twelve-month budget is rolled forward as each period is completed. 2.b. The preparation of a continuous budget would force WestWood' s management to engage in planning on an almost continuous basis. Shorter planning cycles increase the chances that management will anticipate and give attention to problem situations earlier than would otherwise be the case. Thus, planning would be enhanced in all of the functional areas and there would not be any periods when a budget did not exist.

8-67 (Continued-4) 3. Gold needs to borrow to finance part of the payment for the new equipment during the third quarter. In addition, fluctuations in business may require the firm to seek shortterm loans. Payrolls, materials, and supplies have to be paid before collections from customers. In anticipation of rising sales in the coming season, Gold may experience a peak demand for cash to pay for the increased purchases of materials, payrolls, and supplies while collections from customers may be at the lowest point of the year as the firm comes out of a low-activity season. A short-term financing arrangement is the best way to meet seasonal cash needs. A short-term loan can be repaid as soon as activities in cash collections increase and payrolls and purchases of materials and supplies decrease as the firm enters into a slow season. Although the firm may have to pay a higher cost for short-term borrowing, the total financing cost likely would be lower than if the firm raised sufficient funds through either issuing long-term bonds or capital stock to meet peak demands for cash. A bond requires interest payments whether or not the firm uses the funds raised from the bond in operations. Additional capital stock is not without cost. Management needs to earn a desired return on equity to satisfy investors. Furthermore, studies have shown that management is prone to be careless in spending when abundant funds are available. 4. The scenarios described involved many simplified assumptions in order to make the problem managable. Among possible complicating factors are: No bad debts are considered. Customers always make payment as prescribed in sales terms. Within a given month cash inflows are in time to meet cash outflows. It is conceivable that the bulk of cash inflows occur toward the end of the month while payments need to go out at the beginning of the month. Cash customers do not use bank credit cards for the purchases.

8-68 Cash Budgeting; Sensitivity Analysis (50 Minutes) 1. Estimated Cash Receipts, April 2007: April Cash Receipts: April cash sales (25.0% x $425,000) = April credit-card sales ($425,000 x 55% x 97%) = Collection of accounts receivable: From April Sales (20% x $425,000 x 25%) = From March Sales ($400,000 x 20% x 45%) = From February Sales ($550,000 x 20% x 27%) = Total $21,250 $36,000 $29,700 $419,938 $106,250 $226,738

2. Purchase Order for Hardware, executed January 25th (to be paid April 10th): a) Number of units to be ordered: Estimated Unit Sales, March = Plus: Desired End. Inv., March (30% x 100) = Total Needs (in Units) = Less: Beg. Inv., March (30% x 90) = Required Purchases (in Units) = b) Cost of purchases: Selling price per unit (e.g., $300,000/100 units) = Estimated cost per unit (@65% of selling price) = Total cost of purchases (93 units x $1,950/unit) = $3,000 $1,950 $181,350 90 30 120 27 93

Note that the cash outflow associated with these purchases will be 4/10/2007 (75 days after executing the purchase order).

4. Monthly cash budgets are prepared by companies such as CompCity, Inc., in order to plan for their cash needs This means identifying when both excess cash and cash shortages may occur. A company needs to know when cash shortages will occur so that prior arrangements can be made with lending institutions in order to have cash available for borrowing when the company needs it. At the same time, a company should be aware of when there is excess cash available for investment or repaying loans so that planned usage of the excess can be made.

8-68 (Continued-2) Sensitivity analysis, one type of which is illustrated in part (3) above, can be used to help managers deal with uncertainties in the budgeting process. Sensitivity analysis enables managers to examine how a budget would change in response to changes in one or more underlying assumptions (such as sales volume level and CGS %). As such, the process enables managers to monitor key assumptions and to make timely adjustments to plans. In practice, management might view the base-line outcome as the expected value prediction. It might define, subjectively, optimistic and pessimistic values as those having a small probability, (e.g., 10% or less).
