  1. Lecture 5 • Flexible Budgeting

  2. Flexible Budgeting • Budgets are based on some measure of output; such as units sold or produced. • The static budget is based on the original, projected level of activity. • The flexible budget adjusts budgeted costs for the actual level of activity.

  3. Flexible Budgeting • Building a flexible budget involves the following steps: • Obtain the flexible budget for fixed costs directly from the static budget. • Use the static budget to calculate the variable cost per unit of activity. • Multiply the variable cost per unit by the actual number of units

  4. Flexible Budgeting • Pro forma statements, for hypothetical levels of output, also use the same “flexible budgeting” technique.

  5. Flexible Budgeting New Skeet Orphanage

  6. The Convent at New Skeet runs an orphanage. Sister Sarah manages the orphanage and Sister Rachel is responsible for the accounting records. Sister Rachel prepared the following summary of actual and budgeted costs for 2001.

  7. BudgetActual Number of children (all ages) 80 72 Fixed costs: Utilities $ 25,000 $ 27,250 Janitorial Services $ 14,000 $ 15,500 Repairs and Maintenance $ 17,500 $ 14,300 Salaries for non-Convent employees $ 85,000$ 92,000 Total fixed costs $141,500$149,050 Variable costs: Food $438,000 $409,968 Clothing $ 40,000 $ 39,600 Laundry & Linen Service $ 14,000 $ 13,040 Educational Costs $ 26,000 $ 25,480 Allowances $ 20,000$ 25,000 Total variable costs $538,000$513,088 Total costs $679,500$662,138

  8. Sister Sarah is very concerned that the orphanage uses its funds efficiently. She is pleased that total costs were below budget for the year, but she wonders if this is partly due to the fact that the orphanage housed fewer children than expected for the year. Required: 1. Prepare a flexible budget for 2001, based (i.e., “flexed”) on the number of children actually housed in 2001. 2. Should Sister Sarah be satisfied with the orphanage’s cost management in 2001? Briefly explain.
