1. October November December Total


August sales:
$70,000 × 5% $ 3,500 $ 3,500
September sales:
$180,000 × 70%, 5% 126,000 $ 9,000 135,000
October sales:
$400,000 × 25%, 70%,
5% 100,000 280,000 $ 20,000 400,000
November sales:
$800,000 × 25%, 70% 200,000 560,000 760,000
December sales:

Total cash collections $229,500 $489,000 $755,000 $1,473,500

Notice that even though sales peak in November, cash collections peak
in December. This occurs because the bulk of the company’s customers
pay in the month following sale. The lag in collections that this creates is
even more pronounced in some companies. Indeed, it is not unusual for
a company to have the least cash available in the months when sales
are greatest.

Students may question the variances for fixed costs. Operator wages can
differ from what was budgeted for a variety of reasons including an unan-
ticipated increase in the wage rate; changes in the mix of workers between
those earning lower and higher wages; changes in the number of operators
on duty; and overtime. Depreciation may have increased because of the
acquisition of new equipment or because of a loss on equipment that must
be scrapped—perhaps due to poor maintenance. (This assumes that the
loss flows through the depreciation account on the performance report.)

Problem 9-11 (30 minutes)
1. Davis and Smith used a top-down approach to prepare the budget. That
is, they prepared the budget with little or no input from the individuals
who would have to implement the budget. In contrast, the recom-
mended approach is a participative budget in which the individuals who
have cost control responsibility initiate and fully participate in the budg-
eting process. Participatory budgets have a number of advantages in-
cluding: 1) those who are closest to the action are likely to have better
information; 2) managers are likely to be more committed to and under-
stand a budget they participated in preparing than a budget that is im-
posed from above; and 3) participative budgets help to foster a sense
that everyone’s input is valued.

2. While Davis and Smith are undoubtedly pleased with their work, the dis-
satisfaction expressed by some employees with the budget process is a
sign that there may be storm clouds ahead. If employees feel that the
budget is unrealistic, the fact that it was imposed can lead to resent-
ment, anger, and a sense of helplessness. Employees may, as a conse-
quence, spend their time and energy complaining about the budget
rather than creatively solving problems. And if the budget is indeed un-
realistic and managers are held responsible for meeting the budget, un-
productive finger-pointing is likely to result as reality fails to live up to
expectations.

Problem 9-13 (45 minutes)
1. Black is using the budget as a club to pressure employees and as a way
to find someone to blame rather than as a legitimate planning and con-
trol tool. His planning seems to consist of telling everyone to increase
sales volume by 40%. This kind of “planning” requires no analysis, no
intelligence, no business insight, and is very likely viewed with contempt
by the employees of the company.

2. The way in which the budget is being used is likely to breed hostility,
tension, mistrust, lack of respect, and actions designed to meet targets
using any means available. Unreasonable targets imposed from the top,
coupled with a “no excuses” policy and the threat of being fired, create
an ideal breeding ground for questionable business practices. Managers
who would not, under ordinary circumstances, cheat or cut corners may
do so if put under this kind of pressure.

3. As the old saying goes, Kelly Cantano is “between a rock and a hard
place.” The Code of Ethical Conduct for Management Accountants states
that management accountants have a responsibility to “disclose fully all
relevant information that could reasonably be expected to influence an
intended user’s understanding of the reports, comments, and recom-
mendations presented.” Assuming that Kelly helps prepare the Produc-
tion Department’s reports to top management, collaborating with her
boss in hiding losses due to defective disk drives would clearly violate
this standard. Apart from the misrepresentation on the accounting re-
ports, the policy of shipping defective returned units to customers is
bound to have a negative effect on the company’s reputation. If this
policy were to become widely known, it would very likely have a devas-
tating effect on the company’s future sales. Moreover, this practice may
be illegal under statutes designed to protect consumers.
Having confronted her boss with no satisfactory resolution of the prob-
lem, Kelly must now decide what to do. The Code of Ethical Conduct for
Management Accountants suggests that Kelly go to the next higher level
in management to present her case. Unfortunately, in the prevailing
moral climate at CompuDrive, she is unlikely to win any blue ribbons for
blowing the whistle on her boss. All of the managers below Black are
likely to be in fear of losing their own jobs and many of them may have
taken actions to meet Black’s targets that they are not proud

of either. It would take tremendous courage for Kelly to take the prob-
lem all the way up to Black himself—particularly in view of his less-than-
humane treatment of subordinates. And going to the Board of Directors
is unlikely to work either since Black and his venture capital firm appar-
ently controls the Board. Resigning, with a letter of memorandum to the
individual who is most likely to be concerned and to be able to take ac-
tion, may be the only ethical course of action that is left open to Kelly in
this situation. Of course, she must pay her rent, so hopefully she has
good alternative employment opportunities.

Note: This problem is very loosely based on the MiniScribe scandal re-
ported in the December, 1992 issue of Management Accounting as well
as in other business publications. After going bankrupt, it was discov-
ered that managers at MiniScribe had perpetrated massive fraud as a
result of the unrelenting pressure to meet unrealistic targets. Q. T.
Wiles, the real chairman of MiniScribe, was reported to have behaved
much as described in this problem. Kelly Cantano is, alas, a fabrication.
Hopefully, there were people like Kelly at MiniScribe who tried to do
something to stop the fraud.

1. Production budget:
July August September October
Budgeted sales (units) ........... 60,000 75,000 105,000 53,000
Add desired ending inventory . 23,000 29,000 18,600 14,000
Total needs ........................... 83,000 104,000 123,600 67,000
Less beginning inventory ....... 22,000 23,000 29,000 18,600
Required production .............. 61,000 81,000 94,600 48,400
Note: July E.I. = 8,000 units + 75,000 (next months sales) x 20%
October E.I. = 8,000 units + 30,000 (Nov. Sales) x 20%

2. During July and August the company is building inventories in anticipa-


tion of peak sales in September. Therefore, production exceeds sales
during these months. In September and October inventories are being
reduced in anticipation of a decrease in sales during the last months of
the year. Therefore, production is less than sales during these months
to cut back on inventory levels.

3. Direct materials budget:

Required production (units) .. 61,000 81,000 94,600 236,600
Material D236 needed per
unit .................................. x 4 kgs. x 4 kgs. x 4 kgs. x 4 kgs.
Production needs (kgs.) ....... 244,000 324,000 378,400 946,400

tory (kgs.) ........................ 129,600 151,360 77,440 * 77,440
Total Material D236 needs .... 373,600 475,360 455840 1,023,840
Less beginning inventory
(kgs.) ............................... 129,000 129,600 151,360 129,000
Material D236 purchases
(kgs.) ............................... 244,600 345,760 304,480 894,840
* 48,400 units (October production) × 4 kgs. per unit = 193,600
kgs.; 193,600 kgs. × 0.4 = 77,440 kgs.
As shown in part (1), production is greatest in September. However, as
shown in the raw material purchases budget, the purchases of materials
is greatest a month earlier because materials must be on hand to sup-
port the heavy production scheduled for September.

tests is somewhat worrisome. Perhaps the medical laboratory has not
been doing all of the necessary lab tests that it should be doing as a re-
sult of being overworked because of the increase in tests due to the
chemical spill. This may be worth investigating and points out that fa-
vourable variances should warrant attention as much as unfavourable
variances. In addition, there is an unfavourable variance for medical
supplies, which may be explained by the medical laboratory being less
efficient since there were some volunteers assisting at the lab to help
because of the chemical spill.
Some may wonder why there is a variance for depreciation. Fixed costs
can change; they just don’t vary with the level of activity. Depreciation
may have increased because of the acquisition of new equipment or be-
cause of a loss on equipment that must be scrapped. (This assumes that
the loss flows through the depreciation account on the performance re-
port.)

Case 9-26 (45 minutes)
[Link] key problem with the top-down approach used in prior years by
Playco appears to be that very little input other than a one-hour
meeting with the CFO, was sought from the senior product man-
agers, despite the fact that on average, they had been with the
company for many years. Since these managers are closest to the
action in terms of the competitive environment, the distribution
network, the production process, and so on, they are in the best
position to provide key input to the budget process. The fact that
the budgets in the past were developed by the senior manage-
ment team, who are not necessarily close to the day-to-day opera-
tions, likely explains why there have been accuracy problems in
the past.

2. Some of the problems include:


There appears to be very little negotiation. Instead senior
management is simply imposing their budget on the senior
product managers. In a sense, the senior production manag-
ers have been misled into thinking the approach is participa-
tive but in reality the same top-down approach is being
used, albeit in a slightly different way.
The senior management team is seeking input from other
members of the product division as evidenced by the V.P. of
production comments about his conversations with produc-
tion people in the golf equipment division. This may under-
mine the authority of the senior product managers.
There appears to be little trust between senior management
and the product managers as evidenced by the comments
related to the need for “very challenging” budgets given the
link between bonuses and performance versus the budget.
There is no “team” concept in the process being employed.
It seems to be senior management versus the senior product
managers.

Some possible consequences:


The senior product managers may become very de-
motivated since their input on the budget was requested,
and largely ignored.

48 Managerial Accounting, 9th Canadian Edition
Case 9-26 continued

The senior product managers will not be highly committed to


attaining the budget targets if they think they are unrealistic.
The senior product managers may engage in dysfunctional
activities such as reducing quality, lowering customer service
levels, etc. in an effort to meet the unrealistic budgets.
The budget process may not be taken seriously by the senior
product managers in the coming years if they believe their
ability to influence the budget is minimal. This could lead to
the same problem of inaccurate budgets that caused Playco
to adopt a participative approach.
At the extreme, some senior product managers may leave
the company depending on how serious they believe the
breach of trust to be.

[Link] to the process:


Make the budget negotiations real negotiations. The senior
management team needs to be willing to back-off their posi-
tion and compromise. If not, they should reinstate the top-
down approach.
Involve more key individuals from the product divisions at
the budget review meetings. This would make the setting
feel like more of a team effort and less of a “senior man-
agement versus the senior product manager.”
If senior management is truly concerned about budget slack,
they should do careful reviews of significant variances be-
tween actual results and the budget on an on-going basis. A
consistent pattern of actual performance being better than
budget may be suggestive of slack but explanations should
be sought before assuming the product managers are en-
gaging in slack creation.
Consider delinking the bonuses from budget performance.
Instead, managers could be evaluated on performance ver-
sus last year, or versus the other product lines. This would
create less incentive to game the budgeting process.

• enable management to improve planning and decision making.

Case 9-28 (continued)
Supporting computations for flexible budget:
1
Monthly salary for salesperson:
$108,000 ÷ 90 salespersons = $1,200 per salesperson
or
$1,296,000 ÷ 12 ÷ 90 salespersons = $1,200 per salesperson

Flexible budget amount:


$1,200 per salesperson × 96 salespersons = $115,200
2
Commission rate:
$3,200,000 ÷ $80,000,000 = 0.04
or
$448,000 ÷ $11,200,000 = 0.04

Flexible budget amount for commissions:


$12,400,000 × 0.04 = $496,000
3
($148,500 ÷ 90 salespersons) ÷ 15 days per salesperson =
$110 per day
or
($1,782,000 ÷ 12 ÷ 90 salespersons) ÷ 15 days per salesperson =
$110 per day

Flexible budget amount for per diem:


($110 per day × 15 days per salesperson) × 96 salespersons =
$158,400
4
($4,080,000 – $3,000,000) ÷ 54,000 orders = $20 per order

Flexible budget amount for office expenses:


($3,000,000 ÷ 12) + ($20 per order × 5,800 orders) = $366,000
5
[$6,750,000 – ($3 per unit × 2,000,000 units)] ÷ 12 =
$62,500 monthly fixed expense

Flexible budget amount for shipping expenses:


$62,500 + ($3 per unit × 310,000 units) = $992,500

Case 9-28 (continued)

3. The calculations for part (2) above indicate that the entire $171,900 un-
favourable static budget variance is driven by the actual sales activity level
of 310,000 being 30,000 units higher than the static budget. The flexible
budget, based on actual unit sales of 310,000 shows total selling expenses
of $3,903,100 compared to the static budget of $3,722,000, based on
sales of 280,000 units. This results in a $181,100 unfavourable sales
volume variance. Note that for expenses, selling more units than planned
will always result in an unfavourable sales volume variance, except in the
un-likely event that all expenses are fixed.

The flexible budget variance for EdDEV is actually $9,200 favourable in


November, largely because actual office and shipping expenses were in
total, $23,600 below the flexible budget amount. This case illustrates the
importance and value of using flexible budgets to evaluate managers’ per-
formance. If only the static budget had been prepared, Snowden would
have concluded that managers at EdDEV had done a poor job controlling
selling expenses. However, as the flexible budget shows, in fact, managers
performed well in controlling selling expenses during November, given the
actual level of activity of 310,000 units.
