11. Operating Budget Example
Hawaii Diving expects 1,100 units to be sold
during the month of August 2004.
Selling price is expected to be $240 per unit.
How much are budgeted revenues for the month?
1,100 × $240 = $264,000

12. Operating Budget Example
Two pounds of direct materials are budgeted per
unit at a cost of $2.00 per pound, $4.00 per unit.
Three direct labor-hours are budgeted per unit
at $7.00 per hour, $21.00 per unit.
Variable overhead is budgeted at $8.00
per direct labor-hour, $24.00 per unit.
Fixed overhead is budgeted at $5,400 per month.

13. Operating Budget Example
Variable nonmanufacturing costs are
expected to be $0.14 per revenue dollar.
Fixed nonmanufacturing costs are
$7,800 per month.

14. Production Budget Example
Budgeted sales (units) +
Target ending finished goods inventory (units) –
Beginning finished goods inventory (units) =
Budgeted production (units)

15. Production Budget Example
Assume that target ending finished goods
inventory is 80 units.
Beginning finished goods inventory is 100 units.
How many units need to be produced?

16. Production Budget Example
Hawaii Diving Production Budget
for the Month of August 2004
Units required for sales 1,100
Add ending inv. of finished units
Total finished units required 1,180
Less beg. inv. of finished units
Units to be produced ,080

17. Direct Materials Usage Budget
Each finished unit requires 2 pounds of direct
materials at a cost of $2.00 per pound.
Desired ending inventory equals 15% of the
materials required to produce next month’s sales.
September sales are forecasted to be 1,600 units.
What is the ending inventory in August?
480 pounds

18. Direct Materials Usage Budget
September sales: 1,600 × 2 pounds per unit
= 3,200 pounds
3,200 × 15% = 480 pounds
(the desired ending inventory)
What is the beginning inventory in August?
1,100 units × 2 × 15% = 330 units

19. Direct Materials Usage Budget
How many pounds are needed to produce
1,080 units in August?
1,080 × 2 = 2,160 pounds

20. Material Purchases Budget
Hawaii Diving Direct Material Purchases Budget for the Month of August 2004
Units needed for production 2,160
Target ending inventory
Total material to provide for 2,640
Less beginning inventory
Units to be purchased ,310
Unit purchase price $ 2.00
Total purchase cost $4,620

21. Direct Manufacturing Labor Budget
Each unit requires 3 direct labor-hours
at $7.00 per hour.
Hawaii Diving Direct Labor Budget

Variable Overhead:
(3,240 × $8.00) $25,920
Fixed Overhead ,400
Total $31,320

24. Ending Inventory Budget
Cost per finished unit:
Materials $ 4
Labor
Variable manufacturing overhead 24
Fixed manufacturing overhead *
Total $54
*$5,400 ÷ 1,080 = $5

25. Ending Inventory Budget
What is the cost of the target
ending inventory for materials?
480 × $2 = $960
What is the cost of the target
finished goods inventory?
80 × $54 = $4,320

26. Cost of Goods Sold Budget
Direct materials used:
2,160 × $ $ 4,320
Direct labor ,680
Total overhead ,320
Cost of goods manufactured $58,320

27. Cost of Goods Sold Budget
Assume that the beginning finished
goods inventory is $5,400.
Ending finished goods inventory is $4,320.
What is the cost of goods sold?

28. Cost of Goods Sold Budget
Beginning finished goods inventory $ 5,400
+ Cost of goods manufactured $58,320
= Goods available for sale $63,720
– Ending finished goods inventory $ 4,320
= Cost of goods sold $59,400

29. Nonmanufacturing Costs Budget
