Document Summary

Service companies may still prepare modified production" budgets such as cpa firm may budget for total revenue and amount of revenue for each engagement (tax, audit). Main focus will often be labour budget and overhead expenditures. Merchandising companies will prepare sales budget and purchases budget instead of production, direct material purchases, direct labour and manufacturing overhead budgets. Static budgets budgets that are set at beginning of period and remain constant throughout budget period. Useful for planning and operating purpose but can be problematic when used for control. When static budgets are used, and actual sales are different from budgeted sales, it"s like comparing apples and oranges. If actual sales are lower than budgeted sales, actual costs of materials, labour and variable overhead should be lower than budgeted costs. Difference does not necessarily mean company spent less or was more efficient than budgeted. Bob"s bewdiful juices produces 250 000 bottles of juice in january instead of budgeted amount of 257 500.
