Answer:
13,000 units
Explanation:
The excess of budgeted sales over budgeted production = 127,000 - 110,000 = 17,000 units. In other words, this is the number of units that the company will be in short of.
The company has 30,000 units in beginning inventory, thus the amount of ending finished goods inventory will be = 30,000 - 17,000 = 13,000 units
Answer:
The Bullwhip Effect
Explanation:
Bullwhip effect is a phenomenon that occurs in an organisation's channel of distribution due to swings or erratic demands for products by customers. This erratic nature of demands will usually lead to forecasting inefficiencies especially in meeting the demands through the supply chain.
A sudden increase in demand could lead to production planning problems because there might not be enough inventory of materials on ground to meet the demand. Also, a sudden decrease in demand can bring the challenge of excess inventory of materials which may not be needed for production for a while.
One of the measures taken to manage this erratic nature of demands is to ensure that whatever the forecasts for demands is, safety stock must be included to the forecast level of demand so as to ensure that production planning is adequate and the demands are met as well.
Answer:
Flexible budget and master budget are very different.
Explanation:
The "master budget" is the sum of all the budgets that are prepared by a company's various departments. They include financial statements that are budgeted, a financing plan and a cash forecast. They are based on one specific level of production.
A "flexible budget" is a budget that changes or adjusts when the level of activity changes. They are dynamic in nature and can be operated on many levels of output. It is realistic and not based on assumption.
