CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Identify the benefits of budgeting. The primary advantages of budgeting are that it (a)
requires management to plan ahead, (b) provides definite objectives for evaluating
performance, (c) creates an early warning system for potential problems, (d) facilitates
coordination of activities, (e) results in greater management awareness, and (f) motivates
personnel to meet planned objectives.
2. State the essentials of effective budgeting. The essentials of effective budgeting are (a)
sound organizational structure, (b) research and analysis, and (c) acceptance by all levels of
management.
3. Identify the budgets that comprise the master budget. The master budget consists of the
following budgets: (a) sales, (b) production, (c) direct materials, (d) direct labor, (e) manu–
facturing overhead, (f) selling and administrative expense, (g) budgeted income statement, (h)
capital expenditure budget, (i) cash budget, and (j) budgeted balance sheet.
4. Describe the sources for preparing the budgeted income statement. The budgeted
income statement is prepared from (a) the sales budget, (b) the budgets for direct materials,
direct labor, and manufacturing overhead, and (c) the selling and administrative expense
budget.
5. Explain the principal sections of a cash budget. The cash budget has three sections
(receipts, disbursements, and financing) and the beginning and ending cash balances.

companies budgeting is a critical factor in coordinating staff needs with anticipated services. In
not–for-profit organizations, the starting point in budgeting is usually expenditures, not receipts.
