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. This budget estimates the quantities of direct materials to be purchased to support budgeted production, along with desired inventory levels of direct materials.

Before you make any changes to the budget, you review the information in the following Direct Materials Data Table and enter the units to be produced from the Production Budget panel. 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.

Direct Labor Cost Budget

Direct labor needs from the direct labor cost budget should be coordinated between the production and personnel departments so that there will be enough labor available for production.

Before you make any changes to the budget, you review the information in the following Direct Labor Data Table and enter the units to be produced from the Production Budget panel. After scanning the Direct Labor Cost Budget (which follows the Direct Labor 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 Labor Data Table, or from the sales budget, production budget, and direct materials purchases budget you prepared. When required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Factory Overhead Cost Budget

The factory overhead cost budget should be integrated with the production budget to ensure that production is not interrupted during the year. This budget may be supported by departmental schedules, which normally separate factory overhead costs into fixed and variable costs so that department managers may monitor and evaluate costs during the year. For simplicity, LearnCo has not separated costs in this manner.

After reviewing the following factory overhead cost budget, you note that LearnCo has completed the budget with the exception of one amount. Fill in the missing amount.

LearnCo
Factory Overhead Cost Budget

Points:

1 / 1

Cost of Goods Sold Budget

The cost of goods sold budget integrates the direct materials purchases budget, direct labor cost budget, and factory overhead cost budget. Estimated and desired inventories for direct materials, work in process, and finished goods must also be integrated into the cost of goods sold budget.

Complete the preparation of the cost of goods sold budget for LearnCo, using information that follows provided by the controller, and using the previous budgets you have prepared.

Selling/Admin Expenses Budget

The sales budget is often used as the starting point for the selling and administrative expenses budget. For example, a budgeted increase in sales may require more advertising expenses. LearnCo has prepared its selling and administrative expenses budget as follows. This budget is merely reviewed by you for use in the budgeted income statement.

LearnCo
Selling and Administrative Expenses Budget
For the Year Ending December 31, 20Y2
Selling expenses:
  Sales salaries expense $45,000
  Advertising expense 15,000

  Miscellaneous administrative expenses   1,600
Total administrative expenses 154,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $219,400

Budgeted Income Statement

The budgeted income statement is prepared by integrating the sales budget, cost of goods sold budget, and selling and administrative expenses budget. Additional information that may be helpful in preparing the budgeted income statement are in the following Budgeted Income Statement Data Table.

Review the Budgeted Income Statement Data Table, then complete the budgeted income statement that follows the table. Round the computed amount for income tax to the nearest whole dollar. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

Final Questions

Budgeting affects the planning, directing, and controlling functions of management. LearnCo wishes to determine the sensitivity of some of its budget values to changes in the economy.

Using the information on the completed budget panels, answer the following questions. Consider each question separately, assuming that all other data remains the same, including the level of production of each model.

1. LearnCo believes that sales of the Deluxe Abacus model may decrease in 20Y2. If Deluxe abacus sales are zero, what will be the effect on LearnCo’s income before income tax? For simplicity, ignore any change in Cost of Goods Sold.

LearnCo will have a net loss before income tax if it sells zero Deluxe Abacus units in 20Y2.

If LearnCo sells zero Deluxe Abacus units in 20Y2, it will break even (i.e., the company will have zero income before income tax).

LearnCo will still have positive income before income tax if it sells zero Deluxe Abacus units in 20Y2.

Points:

1 / 1

2. LearnCo's vendor for bead packages is expected to double its price per package of beads. If this occurs, what will be the effect on LearnCo’s income before income tax?

LearnCo will still have positive income before income tax if the price for bead packages doubles.

LearnCo will have a loss before income tax if the price for bead packages doubles.

If the price for bead packages doubles, LearnCo will break even (i.e., the company will have zero income before income tax).

Points:

1 / 1

3. LearnCo is aware that its labor prices for the Gluing part of the manufacturing process may increase to $15.00 per hour due to changes in minimum wage laws in its state. If this occurs, what will be the effect on LearnCo’s income before income tax?

LearnCo will still have positive income before income tax if Gluing labor costs increase to $15.00 per hour.

LearnCo will have a loss before income tax if Gluing labor costs increase to $15.00 per hour.

If Gluing labor costs increase to $15.00 per hour, LearnCo will break even (i.e., the company will have zero income before income tax).

Points:

1 / 1

4. LearnCo’s controller believes that the company can decrease its selling expenses by 10% and its administrative expenses by 15%. How much would income before income tax increase if these expense cuts are implemented? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
