- Review the completed master budget and answer the following questions: Is Ranger Industries expecting to earn a profit during the next quarter? If so, how much?

(Carefully review rows 74 through 80.)arrow_forwardThe sales department of Macro Manufacturing Co. has forecast sales for its single product to be 20,000 units for June, with three-quarters of the sales expected in the East region and one-fourth in the West region. The budgeted selling price is 25 per unit. The desired ending inventory on June 30 is 2,000 units, and the expected beginning inventory on June 1 is 3,000 units. Prepare the following: a. A sales budget for June. b. A production budget for June.arrow_forwardNorton Company, a manufacturer of infant furniture and carriages, is in the initial stages of preparing the annual budget for the coming year. Scott Ford has recently joined Nortons accounting staff and is interested in learning as much as possible about the companys budgeting process. During a recent lunch with Marge Atkins, sales manager, and Pete Granger, production manager, Ford initiated the following conversation. FORD: Since Im new around here and am going to be involved with the preparation of the annual budget, Id be interested in learning how the two of you estimate sales and production numbers. ATKINS: We start out very methodically by looking at recent history, discussing what we know about current accounts, potential customers, and the general state of consumer spending. Then, we add that usual dose of intuition to come up with the best forecast we can. GRANGER: I usually take the sales projections as the basis for my projections. Of course, we have to make an estimate of what this years closing inventories will be, which is sometimes difficult. FORD: Why does that present a problem? There must have been an estimate of closing inventories in the budget for the current year. GRANGER: Those numbers arent always reliable since Marge makes some adjustments to the sales numbers before passing them on to me. FORD: What kind of adjustments? ATKINS: Well, we dont want to fall short of the sales projections so we generally give ourselves a little breathing room by lowering the initial sales projection anywhere from 5 to 10 percent. GRANGER: So, you can see why this years budget is not a very reliable starting point. We always have to adjust the projected production rates as the year progresses, and of course, this changes the ending inventory estimates. By the way, we make similar adjustments to expenses by adding at least 10 percent to the estimates; I think everyone around here does the same thing. Required: 1. Marge Atkins and Pete Granger have described the use of budgetary slack. a. Explain why Atkins and Granger behave in this manner, and describe the benefits they expect to realize from the use of budgetary slack. b. Explain how the use of budgetary slack can adversely affect Atkins and Granger. 2. As a management accountant, Scott Ford believes that the behavior described by Marge Atkins and Pete Granger may be unethical and that he may have an obligation not to support this behavior. By citing the specific standards of competence, confidentiality, integrity, and/or credibility from the Statement of Ethical Professional Practice (in Chapter 1), explain why the use of budgetary slack may be unethical.
