CHAPTER 8(Master
Budgeting)

The East
Division of Kensic Company manufactures a vital component that is used in one
of Kensic’s major product lines. The
East Division has been experiencing some difficulty in coordinating activities
between its various departments, which has resulted in some shortages of the
component at critical times. To overcome the shortages, the manager of East
Division has decided to initiate a monthly budgeting system that is integrated
between departments.

The first
budget is to be for the second quarter of the current year (April, May and
June). To assist in developing the budget figures, the divisional controller
has accumulated the following information.

Sales: Sales
through the first three months of the current year were 30,000 units. Actual
sales in units for January, February, and March, and planned sales in units
over the next five months, are given below:

January (actual) 6,000
February
(actual) 10,000
March (actual) 14,000
April (planned) 20,000
May (planned) 35,000
June (planned) 50,000
July (planned) 45,000
August (planned) 30,000

In total,
the East Division expects to produce and sell 250,000 units during the current
year.

Direct Material:Two different materials are used in
production of the component. Data regarding these materials are given below:

Units of Direct Cost
Direct Materials per per Inventory at
Material Finished Component lb/ft March 31

No. 208 4 pounds $5.00 46,000 pounds
No. 311 9 feet 2.00 69,000
feet

Material No.
208 is sometimes in short supply. Therefore, the East Division requires that
enough of the material be on hand at the end of each month to provide for 50%
of the following month’s production needs. Material No. 311 is easier to get,
so only one-third of the following month’s production needs must be on hand at
the end of each month.

Direct Labor: The
East Division has three department through which the components must past
before they are completed. Information relating to direct labor in these
departments is given below:

Direct
Labor-Hours Cost per
Per
Finished Direct

Department Component Labor-Hour

Shaping .25 $18.00
Assembly .70 16.00
Finishing .10 20.00

Direct labor
is adjusted to the workload each month.

Manufacturing Overhead: East Division manufactured 32,000
components during the first three months of the current year. The actual
variable overhead costs incurred during this three-month period are shown
below. Each Division’s controller believes that the variable overhead costs
incurred during the last nine months of the year will be at the same rate per
component as experienced during the first three months.

Utilities $ 57,000
Indirect
Labor 31,000
Supplies 16,000
Other 8,000

Total variable
overhead $112,000

The actual
fixed manufacturing overhead costs incurred during the first three months
amounted to $1,170,000. The East Division has planned fixed manufacturing
overhead costs for the entire year as follows:

Supervision $ 872,000
Property
Taxes 143,000
Depreciation 2,910,000
Insurance 631,000
Other 72,000

Total fixed

Overhead
$4,628,000

Finished Goods Inventory: The desired monthly ending inventory of
completed components is 20% of the next month’s estimated sales. The East
Division has 4,000 units in the finished goods inventory on March 31.

Selling and Administrative Expenses: Selling and Administrative Expenses
are budgeted at $400,000 per month plus 1% of total credit sales for the month.
