Prepare the manufacturing overhead costs budget. Start by selecing the formula, and calculating the budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for March. Variable manufacturing X (2) overhead costs Now prepare the total manufacturing overhead cost budgets by entering the appropriate amounts then calculate the total manufacturing overhead costs. Manufacturing Overhead Budget For the Month of March Variable manufacturing overhead costs Fixed manufacturing overhead costs Total manufacturing overhead costs f. Prepare the ending inventories budget direct materials and finished goods). Complete the information below by entering the appropriate amounts to calculate the unit costs of ending finished goods inventory for the Broncos blankets and Rams blankets. Remember the fixed manufacturing overhead rate is the total fixed manufacturing overhead divided by the total direct manufacturing labor hours.

Suppose Lalonde Specialties decides to incorporate continuous improvement into its budgeting process. Select two areas where it could incorporate continuous improvement into the budget schedules in requirement 1. Lalonde Specialties can continually improve variable manufacturing overhead by budgeting more efficient use of the allocation base. Direct manufacturing labor can incorporate continuous improvement by revising the budgeted usage of 11 hours and 12 hours on a monthly basis, Only by reducing the budget on a monthly basis for the amounts of fixed overhead can Lalonde Specialties continually improve fixed manufacturing overhead. To continually improve the direct material usage budget, the company should verify that the beginning inventory is as low as possible to decrease the materials used during production By increasing the target ending finished goods inventory, Lalonde Specialties will reduce the production budget therefore continually improve the direct material purchases budget 1: Additional Blanket Information The company sews the blankets from fabric and sews on a logo patch purchased from the licensed logo store site. The teams are as follows: Broncos, with red blankets and the Broncos logo Rams, with black blankets and the Rams logo Also, the black blankets are slightly larger than the red blankets. 2: Budgeted Direct-Cost Inputs The budgeted direct-cost inputs for each product in 2017 are as follows: Broncos Blanket Rams Blanket Red wool fabric 12 yards O yards Black wool fabric 0 13 1 0 Broncos logo patches Rams logo patches Direct manufacturing labor 0 1 11 hours 12 hours 3: Direct Materials Unit data pertaining to the direct materials for March 2017 are as follows: Actual Beginning Direct Materials Inventory (3/1/2017) Broncos Blanket Rams Blanket Red wool fabric 0 yards 75 yards 0 Black wool fabric 55 85 0 Broncos logo patches Rams logo patches 0 100 Target Ending Direct Materials Inventory (3/31/2017) Broncos Blanket Rams Blanket Red wool fabric 65 yards O yards Black wool fabric 0 65 Broncos logo patches 65 0 Rams logo patches 0 65 4: Direct-Cost Inputs Unit cost data for direct-cost inputs pertaining to February 2017 and March 2017 are as follows: February 2017 (actual) March 2017 (budgeted) Red wool fabric (per yard) $ 17 S 18 Black wool fabric (per yard) 28 27 Broncos logo patches (per patch) 15 15 Rams logo patches (per patch) 14 16 Manufacturing labor cost per hour 34 35 5: Manufacturing Overhead Information The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate for March 2017 is $24 per direct manufacturing labor-hour. The budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead for March 2017 is $47,700. Both variable and fixed manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to each unit of finished goods. Rams Blanket 6: Finished Goods Inventory Data relating to finished goods inventory for March 2017 are as follows: Broncos Blanket Beginning inventory in units 28 Beginning inventory in dollars (cost) $ 5,880 Target ending inventory in units 38 33 $ 5,346 43 7: Sales and Other Information Budgeted sales for March 2017 are 210 units of the Broncos blankets and 230 units of the Rams blankets. The budgeted selling prices per unit in March 2017 are $1,124 for the Broncos blankets and $1,215 for the Rams blankets. Assume the following in your answer: Work-in-process inventories are negligible and ignored. Direct materials inventory and finished goods inventory are costed using the FIFO method. Unit costs of direct materials purchased and finished goods are constant in March 2017 a. C. 8: Requirements 1. Prepare the following budgets for March 2017: Revenues budget b. Production budget in units Direct material usage budget and direct material purchases budget d. Direct manufacturing labor costs budget e. Manufacturing overhead costs budget f. Ending inventories budget (direct materials and finished goods) g Cost of goods sold budget 2. Suppose Lalonde Specialties decides to incorporate continuous improvement into its budgeting process. Describe two areas where it could incorporate continuous improvement into the budget schedules in requirement 1.
