10-2 Cost Management
True / False
1. A formalized financial plan for organizational operations is called a long-term strategy.
2. Budgeting provides a means for defining managers’ decision rights.
3. A master budget is a comprehensive plan for an upcoming financial period.
4. Master budgets are often summarized in a company’s short-term operating plans.
5. The master budget includes two components: an operating budget and a time budget.
6. An operating budget is the component of a master budget that contains management’s plans for
revenues, production, and operating costs.
7. A financial budget is the master budget component that leads to all budgeted financial statements.
8. The cash budget is included in an organization’s operating budget.
9. Production and inventory budgets form the basis for developing the revenue budget.
10. Managers need information from about current beginning inventories and required ending inventories
to prepare the production budget.
11. In a production budget, beginning inventory plus budgeted production equals sales plus targeted
ending inventory.
12. The ending inventories budget is typically expressed in terms of costs, while the production budget is
typically expressed in units.
13. To prepare a budgeted income statement, managers draw data from the revenue budget, the cost of
goods sold budget, and the cash budget.
14. Differences between budgeted amounts and actual amounts are called budget variances.
15. When an organization’s actual revenues are greater than its budgeted revenues, the difference is
referred to as a favorable variance.
16. Favorable variances are positive amounts; unfavorable variances are negative amounts.
17. If actual activities do not follow plans, a variance is likely to result.
18. A flexible budget reflects a range of operations.
19. Budget variances cannot be calculated from a static budget.
20. Cost-volume-profit analysis is a simplified version of a flexible budget.
21. When evaluating actual results at the end of an accounting period, the static budget provides an
appropriate benchmark for actual operations.
22. Participative budgeting involves customers and managers at all levels in the organization.
23. One disadvantage of participative budgeting is employees’ tendency to set targets too high to impress
management with their motivation.
24. In zero-based budgeting, managers justify budget amounts as if no information about prior budgets
exists.
25. When managers intentionally set budgeted costs too low and budgeted revenues too high, they are
creating budgetary slack.
26. The principles of activity-based costing can be applied to the budgeting process.
27. Kaizen budgeting is designed to improve quality and reduce cost over time.

(CPA) The Dilly Company marks up all merchandise at 25% of gross purchase price. All purchases are made
on account with terms of 1/10, (1% discount if paid in 10 days) net/60 (full amount due within 60 days).
Purchase discounts, which are recorded as miscellaneous income, are always taken. Normally, 60% of each
month’s purchases are paid for in the first month after purchase, whereas the other 40% are paid during the
first 10 days of the first month after purchase. Inventories of merchandise at the end of each month are kept
at 30% of the next month’s forecasted cost of good sold.
Terms for sales on account are 2/10 (2% discount if paid within 10 days), net/30 (full amount due in 30 days).
Cash sales are not subject to discount. Fifty percent of each month’s sales on account are collected during the
month of sale, 45% are collected in the succeeding month, and the remainder is usually uncollectible.
Seventy percent of the collections in the month of sale are subject to discount, and 10% of the collections in
the succeeding month are subject to discount (2%).
Forecasted sales data and cost of sales for selected months are as follows:

bus and clean tables, and wash dishes. The staffing levels in Vegan are rarely changed – the existing
crew can handle modest fluctuations in volume. Administrative costs are largely the salaries of the
manager and her staff. The chain allocates corporate costs based on revenue, and the usual charge is
10% of Vegan’s revenue. Utilities are the costs of heating and lighting the restaurant during normal
operating hours and are relatively unaffected by the amount of food prepared.

manager.

4. The county provides free weekly homemaking services for qualified shut-in elderly. The budget
allocations for the program were $123,600 in 20x6 and $149,116 in 20×7. The director of the program
is responsible for providing as many home visits as possible within the budget.
20×6 20×7
Homemaker wages $ 60,000 $ 75,200
Cleaning supplies 8,600 13,416

Total Costs $123.600 $149,116
Number of home visits 2,060 2,472
Average Cost per Home Visit $60 $60
The homemakers, who are hourly employees hired as needed, did not receive an increase in wages in
20×6 or 20×7. The prices of cleaning supplies increased about 5% from 20×6 to 20×7.
Transportation is provided by the homemakers, who are reimbursed per mile traveled. Program
administration consists of the salary of the program director and her assistant, plus discretionary
expenditures such as travel to conferences.
a. The county had planned to allocate the same amount in 2007 as was allocated for 2006.
However, actual results for 20×7 were about $30,000 higher than expected. The director of the
program explained that costs had increased because the number of visits was higher. Prepare a
flexible budget for 20×7 using the results for 20×6 as a benchmark.

4. The Farmland Children’s Clinic is located in a small rural town. It draws from a wide area, though,
because it is the only children’s clinic in this part of the state. The clinic is usually busier during the
summer than during any other time because parents bring children in for annual physical
examinations and for follow-up on other problems while children are out of school. A new director
was recently hired, and among the new ideas he introduced were responsibility accounting and
monthly cost reports supplied to department heads. Previously, cost data had rarely been presented.
Here is part of the report received by the information systems department:
To: Department Heads
From: Farmland Children’s Clinic Business Manager
Beginning this month, you will receive monthly reports comparing the costs of operating
your department with budgeted costs. The reports will highlight the differences (variations) so you
can identify problem areas in your department. The budget variances will help you identify what
costs are out of line. Of course you will want to pay attention to the largest variances as they are
likely the most important. The first report is attached. Please look it over and get back to me by next
Thursday with information regarding you variances.

10-28 Cost Management
The annual budget for 20×6 was constructed by the new administrator, based on an average of the
prior three years’ costs. During this three-year period, all costs had increased each year, with more
rapid increases between the second and third year. Once he developed the average, he deducted 2% to
encourage department heads to better control costs. Monthly budgets were calculated as one-twelfth
of the annual budget. The budgeted patient visits were the average number of visits per month for the
last year.
a. Describe static and flexible budgets and identify what type of budget this is.
b. Actual prices for supplies were expected to be about 10% above the levels in the budget above.
Because of increasing volumes, a part-time staff person was hired during the period. In addition,
the department head received a salary increase. Prepare a flexible budget for performance
evaluation of the head of the Information Systems department, and calculate the budget variances
for the period. Assume that any variable costs vary with the number of visits.
c. Explain why the flexible budget is a better benchmark for the Information Systems department at
Farmland Children’s Clinic than the static budget developed by the clinic director.
