    this question is not inter related but on the same topic of rolling budget

    BPP q203
    1.Broad Co produces quarterly rolling budgets and had forecast the costs of material purchases for the next four quarters (quarters 1, 2, 3 and 4). Purchases for quarter 1 were budgeted to be $220,000 and it was anticipated that the cost of materials would rise at a rate of 2% per quarter.
    At the end of quarter 1:
    Actual material purchases were recorded as $210,000. This was due to a change of material supplier during the quarter.
    • A revised estimate for the increase in material purchase costs was made. The rise was now predicted to be only 1% per quarter.
    • The budget was updated.
    What estimate for total annual material purchases should be recorded in the updated budget

    answer = 861211

    y1q2 212100
    y1q3 214221
    y1q4 216363
    y2q1 218527

    add all up and will get 861211,

    BPP q232
    2.
    sales:
    q1 80000
    q2 81600
    q3 82232
    q4 84967

    actual sales 110000

    using a rolling budget, what should the budget for quarter 3 be?

    scheme answer = 116699

    110000×1.03 = 113300
    113300×1.03 = 116699

    my answer = 120200

    110000×1.03 = 113300
    113300×1.03 = 116699
    116699×1.03 = 120200

    i just want to make sure if what im understanding is right. The question ” what should the budget for quarter 3 be?” is directly pointing at the quarter 3 sales, but if the question asked “what should be the budget for the third quarter?”. as in relate to the earlier question if the question asked what should be the third quarter figure would be, is the answer going to be y1q3 214221, or y1q4 216363?

    The budget for quarter 3 should be calculated based on the rolling budget approach. The sales figures for each quarter are given as:

    Quarter 1: $80,000
    Quarter 2: $81,600
    Quarter 3: $82,232
    Quarter 4: $84,967

    The actual sales for the period are $110,000. To calculate the budget for quarter 3, we need to apply the growth rate of 3% per quarter. Using the rolling budget approach, the budget for quarter 3 would be:

    Quarter 3: $116,699
    So, the correct answer is $116,699.
