Chapter 6, Problem 6.31E
Kaizen approach to activity-based budgeting (continuation of 6-30). Jiffy Mart has a Kaizen (continuous improvement) approach to budgeting monthly activity costs for each month of 2018. Each successive month, the budgeted cost-driver rate decreases by 0.4% relative to the preceding month. So, for example, February’s budgeted cost-driver rate is 0.996 times January’s budgeted cost-driver rate, and March’s budgeted cost-driver rate is 0.996 times the budgeted February rate. Jiffy Mart assumes that the budgeted amount of cost-driver usage remains the same each month.
- 1. What are the total budgeted cost for each activity and the total budgeted indirect cost for March 2018?
- 2. What are the benefits of using a Kaizen approach to budgeting? What are the limitations of this approach, and how might Jiffy Mart management overcome them?
