Consider your current company, or a company that you have formerly worked for, and describe and critique the budgeting processes
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

I currently work for a company that provides services to other businesses (B2B), and we work on a yearly contract base. Since it's a B2B we don't have a lot of customers, they are only 11, but each customer is very important to us.

The sales process and contracts for the next year are usually finished by November and at that time we must prepare a cost budget. The main problem we are currently facing is that we use some imported goods and since many tariffs have been increasing, there is a lot of uncertainty about future prices.

When you import goods and use the FOB destination, the seller is responsible for delivering the goods up to a port of entry, but we are responsible for the paperwork and applicable tariffs. Since tariffs increase during a few months and then decrease, and then increase again depending on the president's mood, our budget has a large percentage of "just in case".

Besides that problem with imports, our company also signs yearly contracts with most of the employees depending on the number of contracts and workers needed. We are very good at estimating overhead expenses, since experience is a great teacher in our specific case.

If we didn't have the problem with uncontrollable external factors (tariffs), prior jobs help us to determine budgets that are usually quite exact, our variance (either + or -) is usually less than 3%.

Direct labor              $6.00                                           $132,000

Variable manufacturing

overhead                  $3.6                                              $79,200

Fixed manufacturing

overhead                  $4                                               $88,000

Opportunity cost                                                          $551,600

Total cost                $19.2    $44.50                             $973,800  $979,000
