Mastery Problem: Budgeting
LearnCo
LearnCo manufactures and sells one product, an abacus for classroom use, with two models, the Basic model and the Deluxe model. The company began operations on January 1, 20Y1, and is planning for 20Y2, its second year of operations, by preparing budgets from its master budget.
The company is trying to decide how many units to manufacture, how much it might spend on direct materials and direct labor, and what their factory overhead expenses might be. In addition, the company is interested in budgeting for selling and administrative costs, and in creating a budgeted income statement showing a prediction of net income for 20Y2.
You have been asked to assist the controller of LearnCo in preparing the 20Y2 budgets.
Sales Budget
The sales budget often uses the prior year’s sales as a starting point, and then sales quantities are revised for various factors such as planned advertising and promotion, projected pricing changes, and expected industry and general economic conditions. LearnCo has completed reviewing its prior year’s sales and has prepared the following sales budget.
After reviewing LearnCo’s sales budget, you note that three numbers have been omitted. The company’s controller has told you that the units sold for the Basic and Deluxe models are expected to be the same. Fill in the missing amounts.

Production Budget
The production budget should be integrated with the sales budget to ensure that production and sales are kept in balance during the year. The production budget estimates the number of units to be manufactured to meet budgeted sales and desired inventory levels.
You note that LearnCo has omitted six numbers from the following production budget and fill in the missing amounts. You may need to use numbers from the sales budget you prepared.

Direct Materials Purchases Budget
The direct materials purchases budget should be integrated with the
production budget to ensure that production is not interrupted
during the year.
Before you make any changes to the budget, you review the information on the following Direct Materials Data Table and enter the units to be produced from the Production Budget. After scanning the direct materials purchases budget (which follows the Direct Materials Data Table), you observe that LearnCo has omitted quite a few numbers from the budget. Fill in the missing amounts. You may need to use numbers from the Direct Materials Data Table, or from the sales budget and production budget you prepared. When required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.
