Proposed Business Plan Title
The business is going to be a Saudi restaurant (Alaabsi’s Restaurant) that is going to be located in Ashland. The name is foreign, which makes it easy to remember. Furthermore, the name represents a Saudi name which encourages the responsibility of the business to work hard to build a good image of Saudi traditional food for customers by providing good services and tasty foods
Description of the Business Concept and justification for the need or desire for the business.
The restaurant will serve Saudi food such as Kabsa, Margog, and Areca etc., which represents the Saudi food for Americans and other nationalities. The restaurant will be ready to serve all people from different countries who want to eat Saudi food.

· The 4 to 5-page limit refers to your analysis. The page limit does not include the reference page, the 5-forces diagram, nor a title page. If you prepare any supporting analysis that can be shown in an appendix page. So, you have 4 to 5 pages available for your written analysis.
· Introducing and describing the company (what it does, key products, markets, distribution) and the industry (key competitors, market size) should be succinct, no more than a half a page. Dedicate approximately 1/2 page introducing the company and it's industry. Beyond that don't spend much time or space describing basic info about the company. For example, providing the history of the company is not relevant to the model.
· The bulk of your writing should be specific to the model as it applies to your company, evaluating each of the five forces thoroughly. Assume the reader is a business person who has a basic knowledge of the company/industry.
· Your analysis should inform the reader of those aspects of the business and industry relevant to each of the five forces. For example, if sales figures are needed to establish the company's position in their industry, use that information in the industry competitors (rivalry) force.
· Use outside references. Key analysis points are to be referenced. As master’s-level business students it is expected that you will utilize sources beyond the company website, the Porter article itself, and sites like yahoo finance. You can use these sites but are strongly advised to not limit yourself to them.
· Thoroughly analyze each of the five forces. The Porter article gives you criteria and examples for each force that can be investigated as you prepare your analysis. Pick two or three for each force and use these to guide your paper.
· The 1-page model should be prepared after you complete your paper. It is nothing more than a visual, concise representation of your analysis. It does not have to be fancy. It does have to be clear and represent your analysis. Use exhibit 2.7 or the model in the Porter paper as your guide. Label each force as high or low, based on your analysis. Insert three to four (max) key bullet points related to each force into the five boxes in the model.
· Proofread your paper. Spelling, grammar, and APA.

THE FIELD PROJECT - Business 302
Purpose
The purpose of having you prepare an environment report for an industry is to give you
experience in applying the concepts of this course to an actual business situation. When the
environment remains stable, the importance of an environment analysis is minimal. However,
when faced with a dynamic environment the analysis of the environment and the
corresponding report are extremely important. An analysis of the environment is the basis for
developing a strategic plan and a marketing plan, which are required components for business
loans. A firm that does not constantly monitor its future environment for salient changes is
more likely to find itself out of step and ultimately, out of business.
The environment analysis of the Strategic Business Area (SBA) you prepare is to be
written from the perspective of an outside business consultant as an objective report on the
aspects of a firm’s environment. The report should provide insights that would enable a
management team or others in a firm to evaluate any proposed strategy. The report is not to
include any strategy, evaluation or strategy, or response.
Topics and Nature of Report
The basis of your report is concentrating in the Task Environment elements of the Griffin Model
and the Five Forces of the Porter Model. As you discover more about the environment, new
issues may be discovered about salient aspects of the environment that may lead to different
emphases. The first step is to identify five major trends, threats, and opportunities that will
exist in the SBA. The second step is to conduct an overview of the different aspects of the
environment (General: Economic, Social-Cultural, Political-Legal, Technological, and
International; Task: Competition, Customers, Regulators, Unions/Labor, Suppliers, Strategic
Allies, and Owners; Porter’s Industry Competitive Model). Jot down things about each
factor/dimension that you initially think may be important to the organization. Then conduct a
more in-depth research in each of the areas.
Throughout the course, material has been presented on each facet of the environment.
The Case Guide Analyses and class lectures give information on the General Environment as
well as information on task factors. Most of these overheads identify different types of
information that one could/should examine and/or include on each of these factors.
For each task factor it is important to identify 1) Who they are, and 2) What are their
characteristics, orientation, behaviors, etc. which make (or potentially make) them important to
a firm doing business in the SBA. Importance is determined by the potential to serve as a
stimulus (positive or negative/opportunity, threat or trend) for some type of firm response.
Conclude by outlining your general recommendation(s) about the industry sector.
Strategic Business Area (SBA) Identification
For all firms.

Date submitted
Introduction
Explain how you will use the feedback you received on Part A of your marketing plan to improve your plan. Do not just list the feedback.
Next, re-introduce your company you shared in Part A.
Lastly, review what you will share: branding strategy, primary and secondary target markets, positioning statement, and consumer behavior.
Branding Strategy
Write an introduction here (minimum of three sentences). Develop a branding strategy for your product that covers the brand name, logo, slogan, and at least one (1) brand extension. For each of these sections below, provide rationale. Each section should be a minimum of three sentences.
Brand Name
Text starts here, provide rationale (minimum of three sentences).
Logo
Text starts here (do not start with an image of your logo, describe first); provide rationale (minimum of three sentences). Relay what the logo means, for example, Nike’s swoosh logo. Example below:
Figure 1. Your company name logo and short descrption.
Slogan
Text starts here (do not start with your slogan, describe first); provide rationale (minimum of three sentences).
Brand Extension
Text starts here, provide rationale (minimum of three sentences).
Primary and Secondary Target Markets
Analyze the primary and secondary target markets for your company. Thoroughly include the demographic profile (for example, age, gender, ethnicity, et cetera), psychographic profile, professional profile, and geographic profile. Factors to consider in determining your target markets could be age, lifestyle values, attitudes, wants and needs, gender, number of kids, education income, stage in the household lifecycle, geographic location (urban versus rural, et cetera), or risk orientation. Make sure your target market is not too broad; be focused and concise, using multiple characteristics. Target market and segmentation choices are perfect topics for scholarly references to substantiate your position (search in library for peer-reviewed, journals).
Positioning Statement
Start with an introduction sentence or two. Then state what is your unique selling proposition (USP), who do you consider to be your competitors, and how does their positioning statement (as they are seen in the marketplace, what’s their USP) differ from yours. Include a perceptual map that shows your company’s position against its competitors. You may use Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or other equivalent software to create your perceptual map. Figure 1 example is below:
Figure 1. Perceptual map representing Your Company Name in relation to competitors XYZ company, ABC company, and AAA company.
From this map, create a statement that depicts your position. Prepare a positioning statement (that is, “For customers who want [segment], our brand is the best at [unique selling proposition—competitors and co ...

Explain how you will use the feedback you received on Part A of your marketing plan to improve your plan. Do not just list the feedback.
Next, re-introduce your company you shared in Part A.
Lastly, review what you will share: branding strategy, primary and secondary target markets, positioning statement, and consumer behavior.
Branding Strategy
Write an introduction here (minimum of three sentences). Develop a branding strategy for your product that covers the brand name, logo, slogan, and at least one (1) brand extension. For each of these sections below, provide rationale. Each section should be a minimum of three sentences.
Brand Name
Text starts here, provide rationale (minimum of three sentences).
Logo
Text starts here (do not start with an image of your logo, describe first); provide rationale (minimum of three sentences). Relay what the logo means, for example, Nike’s swoosh logo. Example below:
Figure 1. Your company name logo and short descrption.
Slogan
Text starts here (do not start with your slogan, describe first); provide rationale (minimum of three sentences).
Brand Extension
Text starts here, provide rationale (minimum of three sentences).
Primary and Secondary Target Markets
Analyze the primary and secondary target markets for your company. Thoroughly include the demographic profile (for example, age, gender, ethnicity, et cetera), psychographic profile, professional profile, and geographic profile. Factors to consider in determining your target markets could be age, lifestyle values, attitudes, wants and needs, gender, number of kids, education income, stage in the household lifecycle, geographic location (urban versus rural, et cetera), or risk orientation. Make sure your target market is not too broad; be focused and concise, using multiple characteristics. Target market and segmentation choices are perfect topics for scholarly references to substantiate your position (search in library for peer-reviewed, journals).
Positioning Statement
Start with an introduction sentence or two. Then state what is your unique selling proposition (USP), who do you consider to be your competitors, and how does their positioning statement (as they are seen in the marketplace, what’s their USP) differ from yours. Include a perceptual map that shows your company’s position against its competitors. You may use Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or other equivalent software to create your perceptual map. Figure 1 example is below:
Figure 1. Perceptual map representing Your Company Name in relation to competitors XYZ company, ABC company, and AAA company.
From this map, create a statement that depicts your position. Prepare a positioning statement (that is, “For customers who want [segment], our brand is the best at [unique selling proposition—competitors and co ...

Atomic Theory Scientists and Their Contributions
Scientist (date)
Contribution(s)
Empedocles
(492 BCE and 432 BCE)
All matter is composed of four elements: fire, air, water, and earth. The ratio of these four elements determines the properties of the matter
Democritus
(460 BCE - 370 BCE)
Matter can be cut into its constituent parts, these parts still possess all the properties of the original matter. He named this “atomos”.

Atomic models are useful because they allow us to picture what is in.docxjaggernaoma
Atomic models are useful because they allow us to picture what is inside of an atom, something we will never be able to actually see. We're going to talk about two models, the Bohr model and the Quantum model. While we know that the Quantum model is the correct way to represent atoms, the Bohr model is still useful for a very basic understanding. Think of it as a stick figure sketch of an atom. The parts are all there, its just not quite filled in all of the way.
Bohr Model
The Bohr model of the atom was developed in 1914 by Niels Bohr. In this model, electrons move around the nucleus in fixed, concentric circles. Picture the planets orbiting the Sun. These circles are called energy levels and electrons must have a specific amount of energy to be in each level. The energy levels closest to the nucleus require the least amount of energy. In order for an electron to move further from the nucleus (or move up an energy level) they must gain energy. If they lose energy they fall down to an energy level closer to the nucleus.
Drawing the Bohr model for an atom gives you valuable information about the atom's valence electrons. The
valence electrons
--
those in the outermost energy leve
l--are the ones that determine the chemical properties of an atom. In order to draw a Bohr model you must first use the periodic table to tell you the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom. For Bohr models we usually draw what the "average" atom for that element looks like and just round the average atomic mass to a whole number and use that for the mass number.
Steps for Drawing a Bohr Model:
1. Count the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons for that atom.
2. Draw the nucleus. Indicate the correct number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
3. Draw energy levels around the nucleus, starting with the energy level closest to the nucleus. Fill up each energy level before moving on to the next.
Each energy level in a Bohr model can only hold a specific number of electrons, as shown in the table below.
Energy Level
Max # of electrons
1
2
2
8
3
18
4
32
For example, here is a Bohr model for the average oxygen atom:
Here is one for phosphorus:
You try drawing one for Magnesium (Mg) and for Boron (B). Count the number of electrons on the outermost energy level to find the number of valence electrons. Check your answers by looking at the handout.
Quantum Model
In 1925 the Quantum model of the atom was developed after it was determined that electrons can behave like a wave and a particle at the same time. In addition, you can't know the precise location of an electron. Instead of traveling in orderly circles around the nucleus, we describe the electrons as existing in a three-dimensional
electron cloud
--a shape surrounding the nucleus. You will learn more about the Quantum model in chemistry.
These are some of the orbital shapes possible in the first two energy levels of an atom.

Name:
Last Name, First Name
Proposed Business Plan Title
The business is going to be a Saudi restaurant (Alaabsi’s
Restaurant) that is going to be located in Ashland. The name is
foreign, which makes it easy to remember. Furthermore, the
name represents a Saudi name which encourages the
responsibility of the business to work hard to build a good
image of Saudi traditional food for customers by providing good
services and tasty foods
Description of the Business Concept and justification for the
need or desire for the business.
The restaurant will serve Saudi food such as Kabsa, Margog,
and Areca etc., which represents the Saudi food for Americans
and other nationalities. The restaurant will be ready to serve all
people from different countries who want to eat Saudi food.
There are no Saudi restaurants in Ashland which makes the
restaurant unique in the area and available for people who like
Saudi food or would like to try it. “Malas is one among a clutch
3. of Middle Eastern entrepreneurs that are successfully
persuading palates in the west and elsewhere to Arabic fare as
healthy alternatives to fast foods and a worthy complement to
other cuisines. Others include Saudi Arabia’s dates and gourmet
foods company Bateel, Lebanese confectioner Patchi, and a
Dubai-based shawarma chain Wild Peeta. The recent Gulfood
event in Dubai drew 4,200 exhibitors from 110 countries, a
record in its 26-year history.” (Wharton University, 2013).
According to the article, Americans like Arabic food and Arabic
restaurants are successful in the west. In addition, There are a
lot of schools including Southern Oregon University and small
business in Ashland, which bring people from surrounding areas
to Ashland. People usually need to eat during their break by
eating in a restaurant or taking their food from a restaurant to
their work place. The restaurant will serve their needs by
providing meals that are easy to carry
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
http://www.youtube.com/embed/ouh8ihu8tcE/rel=0
Reference: Chapter 6: Industry Analysis and Trends (The
Successful Business Plan)
Reference: Chapter 3,4,8 (Strategy Book)
Reference: BAO/ESRI, IBIS World, etc.
NAICS code and the industry description
The business belongs in the NAICS code 492210for restaurant
meals delivery service. Local managers and local services.
“This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in
providing local messenger and delivery services of small items
within a single metropolitan area or within an urban centre.
These establishments generally provide point-to-point pick-up
and delivery and do not operate as part of an intercity courier
network”
.
4. Provide a narrative of the Size, trend and maturity of the
industry.
do not talk about my restaurant in this section. it is about the
WHOLE industry in US, also use sources
Describing trends of the industry can include sourced
information or data on the historical behavior of the industry in
terms of volume, revenue generated, number of customers, etc.
in the past, as well as the projected growth or decline of these
numbers. When citing percent changes, be sure to include
information on the basic unit of measure. Percent changes by
themselves are not as meaningful.
Industry size – current numbers (what is) Industry trends – past
behaviors (what was) and future behavior (what will be).
Discuss the Seasonality and sensitivity of the industry to
economic cycle.
do not talk about my restaurant in this section. it is about the
WHOLE industry in US, also use sources
Seasonality pertains to how the industry behaves during the
different periods within each year (season) and whether or not
this behavior (or pattern) is repeated year after year.
Understanding seasonal patterns in the industry will be
important when you develop the sales projections, especially
when the projections are done on a monthly, quarterly, or a
portion of a year basis, for your BA 499 plans.
Sensitivity of the Industry to Economic Cycle – here you
discuss how the industry reacts to, or is affected by the changes
to the economy. Most industries react in a direct manner to
economic cycles, some react in negative manner to economic
cycles, some are not affected at all. For example, in the housing
5. industry, sales and construction of new homes, and remodeling
of existing homes react in a positive manner to industry cycles.
That is, in times of good economic cycle, these types of
activities will tend to grow.
Discuss the driving forces in the macro-environment
(technological forces, socio-cultural forces, economic
condition, political factors, environmental forces, and
legal/regulatory factors)
talk about everyone in a separate paragraph, there is a picture in
the attachment explains everyone. do not talk about
my restaurant in this section. it is about the WHOLE industry in
US,
In discussing the driving forces, address all six factors and
avoid writing about your company. This section is about the
external environment, not your company. You must research and
address all six of these trends. One paragraph will not cut it.
This is a research-heavy portion of your paper. Do not write
personal experience or opinions. Be sure to cite your sources.
What are the key factors for future success of the industry?
related to the section before it, Talk about two or three of
them.... how to deal with it. do not talk about my restaurant in
this section. it is about the WHOLE industry in US
Using the information you wrote above, identify the key factors
your company must consider in order to thrive in this industry.
COMPETITION ANALYSIS
Chapter 8: The Competition (The Successful Business Plan)
Chapter 3,4,8 (Strategy Book)
List and discuss who your primary and secondary competitors
6. are.
(there is no primary competitors because there is no
Saudi restaurant, but there are secondary competitors List 5 of
them, and talk about everyone and what do they serve and how
is their services.. then, explain why do you feel that they
are competitors)
Identify and discuss in general terms your expected primary and
secondary competitors.
Heads up: Later, when you write your Target Market you will
write a more detailed analysis of your market potential and
conduct a SWOT analysis.
Conduct a competitive strength assessment.
Please read the instructions in the word document, there is a
picture in the attachment explain it. Talk about
my restaurant now
Conduct a Competitive Strength Assessment similar to the one
in your Strategy book. Summarize your assessment by
identifying what differentiates your company against the
competition. Why is your company unique or better than the
competition in a way that matters to the consumer?
Discuss the Five Forces of Competition and relate how they
affect your industry.
Talk about everyone in a separate paragraph. There is a picture
in the attachment explain it… also there is a link below that you
can see. do not talk about my restaurant in this section, it is
about the WHOLE industry in US,,,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYF2_FBCvXw
7. What are your barriers to entry?
Talk about ( money: difficult to have the money to start a
business, suppliers: how is difficult to find the ingredient for
a Saudi restaurant, language: difficult to hire people who
speak Arabic, License: the government might not give a license
to start the business) you can talk about my restaurant
Consider what is occurring in the environment, what the
competition is doing or may do in the future, the resources of
your competitors, and the resources of your company and what
is required to enter the market.

Learning Objective 1
Why do organizations budget and the processes used to create
budgets.
8-‹#›
Learning objective number 1 is to understand why organizations
budget and the processes they use to create budgets.
8-‹#›
The Basic Framework of Budgeting
A budget is a detailed quantitative plan for acquiring and
allocating financial and other resources over a specified
forthcoming time period for defined purpose.
The act of preparing a budget is called budgeting.
The use of budgets to control an organization’s activities is
known as budgetary control.

A budget is a detailed quantitative plan for acquiring and using
financial and other resources over a specified forthcoming time

as budgetary control.
8-‹#›
Planning and Control
Planning –
involves developing objectives and preparing various budgets to
achieve those objectives.
Control –
involves the steps [review, iterate] taken by management to
increase the likelihood that the objectives set down while
planning is attained and that budgets and objectives for each
part of the organization is integrated to achieve objective.
Budget often are the controlling exercise to allocate resources
to company objectives>
Essential for Resource Allocation
20. 8-‹#›
Planning involves developing objectives and preparing various
budgets to achieve those objectives.
Control involves the steps taken by management to increase the
likelihood that the objectives set down at the planning stage are
attained and that all parts of the organization are working
together toward that goal.
To be effective, a good budgeting system must provide for both
planning and control. Good planning without effective control is
time wasted.

Means of allocating
Resources #1
8-‹#›
Budgets communicate management’s plans throughout the
organization. Budgets force managers to think about and plan
for the future. The budgeting process provides a means of
allocating resources to those parts of the organization where
they can be used most effectively. The budget process can
uncover potential bottlenecks before they occur. Budgets
coordinate the activities of the entire organization by
integrating the plans of its various parts. Budgets define goals
and objectives that can serve as benchmarks for evaluating
subsequent performance.
While our focus in this chapter is on preparing operating
budgets for a one-year time frame, longer term budgets also can
be very helpful to organizations from a planning standpoint.
8-‹#›
Responsibility Accounting [part of MBO]
22. Managers should be held responsible for those items - and
only those items - that they can actually control [or influence]
to a significant extent. Responsibility accounting enables
organizations to react quickly to deviations from their plans and
to learn from feedback.
Responsibility- Learn & Correct
8-‹#›
The premise of responsibility accounting is that managers
should be held responsible only for those items that they can
control to a significant extent. Responsibility accounting
systems enable organizations to react quickly to deviations from
their plans and to learn from feedback obtained by comparing
budgeted goals to actual results. The point is not to penalize
individuals for missing targets.
8-‹#›
Choosing the
Budget Period
Operating Budget
23. 2xx1
2xx2
2xx3
2xx4
Operating budgets ordinarily
cover a one - fiscal year
corresponding to a company’s fiscal year. Many companies
divide their annual budget
into four quarters or twelve months.
A continuous budget is a
12-month budget that rolls
forward one month (or quarter)
as the current month (or quarter)
is completed.
As a practical matter for a Manager; income may be tied to
performance to Annual Budget including objectives
8-‹#›
Operating budgets ordinarily cover a one-year period
corresponding to a company’s fiscal year. Many companies
divide their annual budget into four quarters. In this chapter, we
24. focus on one-year operating budgets.
A continuous or perpetual budget is a 12-month budget that
rolls forward one month (or quarter) as the current month (or
quarter) is completed. This approach keeps managers focused on
the future at least one year ahead.
8-‹#›
Self-Imposed Budget
A self-imposed budget or participative budget is a budget that is
prepared with the cooperation and participation of managers at
the level for which decision will be made at all levels.
8-‹#›
A self-imposed budget or participative budget is a budget that is
prepared with the full cooperation and participation of managers
at all levels. It is a particularly useful approach if the budget
25. will be used to evaluate managerial performance.
8-‹#›
Top Side Guidance
Certain Strategic & Operating objectives may be established and
provided to line/functional Management as OBJECTIVES FOR
THE BUDGET PERIOD which are to be factored into the
Budget Process:
E.g., Market share increase 3%
Sales $ up 6%
Defect level from 0.7% to 0.2%
Productivity increase of 2.5%
Product Launch on July 1
Energy Consumption reduction by 6%
Customer satisfaction improvement
Others
8-‹#›
Advantages of Self-Imposed Budgets
Individuals at all levels of the organization are viewed as
members of the team whose judgments are reviewed/valued by
top management.
Budget estimates prepared by front-line managers may be more
26. accurate than estimates prepared by top managers.
Motivation may be higher when individuals participate in
setting their own goals than when the goals are imposed from
above.
A manager who is not able to meet a budget imposed from
above can claim that it was unrealistic. Self-imposed budgets
eliminate this excuse.
8-‹#›
The key to self-imposed budgets is to get operational managers
involved in the budgeting process and to clearly state their
goals and expectations. Here is a list of four major advantages
of self-imposed budgets.
First, individuals at all levels of the organization are viewed as
members of the team whose judgments are valued by top
management.
Second, budget estimates prepared by front-line managers (who
have intimate knowledge of day-to-day operations) are often
more accurate than estimates prepared by top managers.
Third, motivation is generally higher when individuals
participate in setting their own goals than when the goals are
27. imposed from above.
Fourth, a manager who is not able to meet a budget imposed
from above can claim that it was unrealistic. Self-imposed
budgets eliminate this excuse.
8-‹#›
Self-Imposed Budgets
Self-imposed budgets should be reviewed by higher levels of
management to prevent “budgetary slack”.
Most companies issue broad guidelines in terms of overall
profits or sales. Lower level managers are directed to prepare
budgets that meet those targets.
Bottoms-up budgets [self – imposed] are ALWAYS reviewed
and often require post review iteration. Many objectives are
driven throughout the organization. Profit [S], market share [S],
cash flow, CapX, manning levels, pay scales, efficiency …
8-‹#›
Self-imposed budgets should be reviewed by higher levels of
management. Without such a review, self-imposed budgets may
have too much “budgetary slack,” or may not be aligned with
overall strategic objectives. Most companies do not rely
exclusively upon self-imposed budgets in the sense that top
28. managers usually initiate the budget process by issuing broad
guidelines in terms of overall target profits or sales. Lower
level managers are directed to prepare budgets that meet those
targets.
8-‹#›
Human Factors in Budgeting
The success of a budget depends on three important factors:
Top management must be enthusiastic and
committed to the budget process [Drive the Process].
Top management may use the budget to drive performance must
take care recognize that non-achievement of goal may be due to
factors beyond manger control.
Highly achievable budget targets are usually
preferred [ART is take out slack] when managers are
rewarded based on meeting budget targets.
8-‹#›
The success of a budget program depends upon three important
factors:
Top management must be enthusiastic and committed to the
budget process, otherwise nobody will take it seriously.
29. Top management must not use the budget to pressure employees
or blame them when something goes wrong. This breeds
hostility and mistrust rather than cooperative and coordinated
efforts.
Highly achievable budget targets are usually preferred (rather
than “stretch budget” targets) when managers are rewarded
based on meeting budget targets.
8-‹#›
Budget with attendant Objectives must have a degree of task
built in.
Effort is to be required for attainment of Budget with attendant
Objectives

budget
31. 8-‹#›
The master budget consists of a number of separate but
interdependent budgets. We have developed this schematic of
the budgeting process to illustrate the interdependency of the
various individual budgets. The sales budget shows the expected
sales for the budget period expressed in dollars and units. It is
usually based on a company’s sales forecast. All other parts of
the master budget are dependent on the sales budget.
The production budget is prepared after the sales budget. It lists
the number of units that must be produced during each budget
period to meet sales needs and to provide for the desired ending
inventory. The production budget in turn directly influences the
direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead
budgets, which in turn enable the preparation of the ending
finished goods inventory budget. These budgets are then
combined with data from the sales budget and the selling and
administrative expense budget to determine the cash budget.
The cash budget is a detailed plan showing how cash resources
will be acquired and used over a specified time period. All of
the operating budgets have an impact on the cash budget.
The last step of the process is to prepare a budgeted income
statement and a budgeted balance sheet.
8-‹#›
Seeing the Big Picture
To help you see the “big picture” keep in mind that the 10
schedules in the master budget are designed to answer the 10
questions shown on the next screen.
32. 8-‹#›
Seeing the Big Picture
How much sales revenue will we earn?
How much cash will we collect from customers?
How much raw material will we need to purchase?
How much manufacturing costs will we incur?
How much cash will we pay to our suppliers [materials resource
needed] and our direct labor [labor resource needed], and how
much cash will we pay for manufacturing overhead?
What is the total cost that will be transferred from finished
goods inventory to cost of good sold [Inventory levels/Order
fulfillment & CoGS]?
How much selling and administrative expense will we incur and
how much cash will be pay related to those expenses?
How much money will we borrow from or repay to lenders –
including interest [change in Cash position] ?.
How much operating income will we earn?
What will our balance sheet look like at the end of the budget
period?
33. 8-‹#›
The Master Budget: An Overview
A master budget is based on various estimates and assumptions.
For example, the sales budget requires three
estimates/assumptions as follows:
What in Market share [strategic] & price [strategic] then what
are the budgeted unit sales?
What is the budgeted selling price per unit?
What percentage of accounts receivable will be collected in the
period[s] being budgeted and subsequent periods.

After we have budgeted our sales and expected cash collection,
we must make sure the production budget is adequate to meet
the forecasted sales and to provide for the desired ending
inventory. We need inventory on hand at the end of the period
to minimize the likelihood of an inventory stock-out.
8-‹#›
The Production Budget:
Production Qty.
The management at Royal Company wants ending inventory to
be equal to 20%* of the following month’s budgeted sales in
units [Inventory Level].
On March 31st, 4,000 units were on hand.
Let’s prepare the production budget.
37. * this meets customer service level of 98% order shipment in 2

8-‹#›
The management at Royal wants to minimize the probability of
a stock out of inventory items. A policy has been implemented
that requires the company to maintain ending inventory of 20
percent of the following month’s budgeted sales. At the
beginning of the quarter, Royal had 4,000 units in inventory. If
Royal was a merchandising company it would prepare a
merchandise purchases budget instead of a production budget.
Let’s get started on the production budget.
8-‹#›
Learning Objective 4
Prepare a direct materials budget, including cash disbursements
for materials.
38. 8-‹#›
Learning objective number 4 is to prepare a direct materials
budget, including a schedule of expected cash disbursements for
purchases of materials.
8-‹#›
The Direct Materials Budget
At Royal Company, five pounds of material are required per
unit of product.
Management wants materials on hand at the end of each month
equal to 10% of the following month’s production.
On March 31, 13,000 pounds of material are on hand. Material
cost is $0.40 per pound.
Let’s prepare the direct materials budget.
Excel C
5
39. 8-‹#›
Each good unit of output requires 5 pounds of direct material.
Management does not want to run out of direct materials, so a
policy has been established that materials on hand at the end of
each month must be equal to 10% of the following month’s
production. At the beginning of the month, Royal has 13,000
pounds of direct material on hand. Each pound of direct
material costs $0.40.
Let’s complete the direct materials budget.
8-‹#›
Expected Cash Disbursement for Materials
Royal pays $0.40 per pound for its materials.
One-half of a month’s purchases is paid for in the month of
purchase; the other half is paid in the following month.
The March 31 accounts payable balance relating to materials is
$12,000.
Let’s calculate expected cash disbursements.
Excel C
5
40. 8-‹#›
Recall that Royal pays $0.40 per pound of direct materials. The
company pays for one-half of its purchases in the month of the
purchase and one-half in the following month. At the beginning
of the quarter, Royal owed creditors $12,000 for purchases of
direct materials.
Let’s begin the expected cash disbursement for direct materials
schedule.
8-‹#›
Learning Objective 5
Prepare a direct labor budget.
8-‹#›
Learning objective number 5 is to prepare a direct labor budget.
8-‹#›
The Direct Labor Budget
41. At Royal, each unit of product requires 0.05 hours (3 minutes)
of direct labor.
The Company has a “no layoff” policy so all employees will be
paid for 40 hours of work each week.
For purposes of our illustration assume that Royal has a “no
layoff” policy, workers are paid at the rate of $10 per hour
regardless of the hours worked.
For the next three months, the direct labor workforce will be
paid for a minimum of 1,500 hours per month.
Let’s prepare the direct labor budget.
Excel D
6
8-‹#›
Carefully review the information on the screen. A unique aspect
of direct labor at Royal is the no overtime policy. The company
agrees to no layoffs of employees if work is slow, but in return,
pays its employees straight time at $10 per hour for all hours
worked. With the current work force, Royal will have to pay for
a minimum of 1,500 hours of direct labor regardless of the work
available.
Let’s prepare this budget.
8-‹#›
42. What would be the total direct labor cost for the quarter if
the company follows its no lay-off policy, but pays $15 (time-
and-a-half) for every hour worked in excess of 1,500 hours in a
month?
a. $45000
b. $67500
c. $45700
d. $62000
8-‹#›
Determine the total direct labor costs if Royal were to pay time-
and-one-half for all hours in excess of 1,500 hours per month.

Learning Objective 6
Prepare a manufacturing overhead budget.
43. 8-‹#›
Learning objective number 6 is to prepare a manufacturing
overhead budget.
8-‹#›
Manufacturing Overhead Budget
At Royal, manufacturing overhead is applied to units of product
on the basis of direct labor hours.
The variable manufacturing overhead rate is $20 per direct labor
hour.
Fixed manufacturing overhead is $50,000 per month, which
includes $20,000 of noncash costs (primarily depreciation of
plant assets).
Let’s prepare the manufacturing overhead budget.
Excel E
7
44. 8-‹#›
Royal applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. The
variable manufacturing overhead rate is $20 per direct labor
hour. The fixed manufacturing overhead is $50,000 per month,
of which $25,000 is noncash costs, primarily depreciation on
the factory assets. This budget will provide a schedule of all
costs of production other than direct materials and direct labor.
8-‹#›
Ending Finished Goods Inventory Budget
Excel F
8-‹#›
Royal can now complete the ending finished goods inventory
budget. The first step in preparing this budget is to compute
direct materials cost per unit. We know that each unit requires 5
pounds of direct material at $0.40 per pound, for a total of
$2.00 per unit. The information needed can be derived by
referring back to the direct materials budget.
8-‹#›
Learning Objective 7
Prepare a selling and administrative expense budget.
45. 8-‹#›
Learning objective number 7 is to prepare a selling and
administrative expense budget.
8-‹#›
Selling and Administrative Expense Budget
At Royal, the selling and administrative expense budget is
divided into variable and fixed components.
The variable selling and administrative expenses are $0.50 per
unit sold.
Fixed selling and administrative expenses are $70,000 per
month.
The fixed selling and administrative expenses include $10,000
in costs – primarily depreciation – that are not cash outflows of
the current month.
Let’s prepare the company’s selling and administrative expense
budget.
Excel G
4
46. 8-‹#›
Royal has a variable and fixed component to its selling and
administrative (S & A) expenses. The company estimates
variable selling and administrative expenses at $0.50 per unit
sold. Fixed selling and administrative expenses are estimated at
$70,000 per month. Of this amount, $10,000 are noncash
expenses, primarily depreciation.
The selling and administrative expense budget will be prepared
in a manner similar to our overhead budget. This budget lists
the budgeted expenses for areas other than manufacturing and it
is typically a compilation of many smaller individual budgets.

Format of the Cash Budget
The cash budget is divided into four sections:
The Direct Method used in the Example tries to conform to the
company’s cash receipts and cash disbursement – simplified
approach
The Indirect Method commonly used in larger company’s uses
the Cash Flow Statement approach of analyzing Balance Sheet
differences and certain specific transaction [outside scope of
Ch. 8] and categorize into three categories of Operating,
Financing, and Investing; ACC310 covers Cash Flow Statements
Excel H
8
8-‹#›
The preparation of the cash budget can be quite complex. This
budget should be broken down into time periods that are as
48. short as feasible. It consists of four major sections:
Cash receipts section lists all cash inflows excluding cash
received from financing;
Cash disbursements section consists of all cash payments
excluding repayments of principal and interest;
Cash excess or deficiency section determines if the company
will need to borrow money or if it will be able to repay funds
previously borrowed; and
Financing section details the borrowings and repayments
projected to take place during the budget period.
