Direct Materials Usage Budget
Direct Materials Usage Budget
Each finished unit requires 2 pounds of direct materials at a cost of $2.00 per pound.
Desired ending inventory equals 15% of the materials required to produce next month’s sales.
September sales are forecasted to be 1,600 units. What is the ending inventory in August?
Direct Materials Usage Budget

Consider Hawaii Diving.
What if some parameters in the budget model were to change?
For example, what if the selling price is expected to be $230 instead of $240?
What are expected revenues?

Explain how controllability
relates to responsibility
What is Controllability?
What is Controllability?
It is the degree of influence that a specific manager has over costs, revenues,
or other items in question.
A controllable cost is any cost that is primarily subject to the influence of a
given responsibility center manager
Controllability
Controllability
Responsibility accounting focuses on information and knowledge, not control. A responsibility accounting system could
exclude all uncontrollable costs from a manager’s performance report.
