In Crane Corporation's first year of operations, inadequate budgeting led to significant cost overruns in multiple production areas. Direct materials needed to be express-delivered, and laborers needed to be paid overtime because reasonable budgets weren't in place, nor were managers properly trained on how to use them. If adequate budgeting had been done, the company might have achieved its objectives that year. As year one comes to a close, all managers are now committed to creating and using accurate budgets for next year so they can properly plan for the resources to support production. The following information is in place to assist the management team in budgeting for year 2. Budgeted sales volume Q1 5,600 Year 2 Q2 Q3 Q4 6,000 5,500 5,900 Year 3 Q1 5,600 Q2 6,900 Additional information: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Budgeted selling price is $78/unit.

Each unit requires 3 pounds of DM at an estimated cost of $4/pound. Desired ending DM Inventory is 20% of the following quarter's production needs. Each unit requires 1.2 DL hours at an estimated cost of $14/hour. Variable MOH is applied to units at a budgeted rate of $15/unit produced.
