Prepare a Production budget.
Master Budget
A master budget can be defined as an estimation of the revenue earned or expenses incurred over a specified period of time in the future and it is generally prepared on a periodic basis which can be either monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually. It helps a business, an organization, or even an individual to manage the money effectively. A budget also helps in monitoring the performance of the people in the organization and helps in better decision-making.
Sales Budget and Selling
A budget is a financial plan designed by an undertaking for a definite period in future which acts as a major contributor towards enhancing the financial success of the business undertaking. The budget generally takes into account both current and future income and expenses.
The DecorIdeas Company manufactures hand-crafted natural wood display
cupboards. Currently the company makes only one size of display cupboard, which is
60-inch height, 48-inch width, and 19-inch depth; and has 6 shelves. The final
product consists of a routed, sanded, assembled, and stained oak wood cupboard.
Direct materials include oak shelving wood and hickory plywood backing board.
Other materials, such as wood screws, sand paper, stain, wood glue, and packaging,
are treated as indirect materials. DecorIdeas is preparing budgets for the fourth
quarter ending December 31, 2022.
