When they made their master budget, Vann Enterprises had direct material per unit costs of $12.43, direct labor per unit costs of $8.46, and manufacturing overhead per unit costs of $14.29. They planned to sell 16,000 units in the first quarter. However, in the first week of the first quarter, the direct material per unit costs rose to $16.12, which increased the selling price of the finished product. Therefore, Vann Enterprises only sold 15,500 units. What would the difference in cost of goods sold be between the budgeted income statement and the actual income statement?
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.
