Master Budget Project

Congratulations! You have just been promoted to controller for a growing company that manufactures green products. It is October 1 and time for creation of the budget for the next year. The budget will be created in quarters using each month as a period of sales/production.

Your first task is to create the budget for the first quarter of 2016. This involves completing budgets for January, February, March and the first quarter in total for 2016. You seek out last years data, recent costing information and follow up on important assumptions.

The CFO wants to see the first quarter budget before you complete the rest of the year, as adjustments may be needed. You will need to create the following sub-budgets as part of the overall master budget.

1. Sales Budget for the 1^st quarter

2. Production Budget for the 1^st quarter

3. Materials Purchases Budget for the 1^st quarter

4. Direct Labor Budget for the 1^st quarter

5. Overhead Budget for the 1^st quarter

6. Cash Receipts of Sales Revenue for the 1^st quarter

7. Cash Payments for Material Purchases for the 1^st quarter

8. Overall Cash Budget for the 1^st quarter

9. Income Statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2016

10. Statement of Cash Flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2016

Several assumptions are needed to work into your models for computation. These are determined as follows and have been approved by the CFO. These are summarized on the following page.

This page illustrates all assumptions needed to create the master budget, income statement and statement of cash flows. These assumptions have been approved by the CFO. You will use them to create the master budget for January, February, March and in total for the first quarter.
