Budget

NNikita5y ago
Hello Sir, I took a test on this chapter and there was a question : As one step in budgeting process of a business , a company has prepared a production budget detailing the no. of the budgeted on being produced each month. What is the name of budget ? I dont understand how is it functional budget ?

Also, there was one more question stating that what is not the aim of budgeting process ? So isnt forecasting one of the main process as we forecast the future cost and revenue while preparing the budget ?

The name of the budget is the production budget. It is a functional budget because it is a budget for a specific function. Forecasting is needed when budgeting, but it is not the aim (or a reason) for producing a budget. It seems that you are not watching the free lectures on budgeting, because both of these questions are dealt with in the lectures.

Actually I had watched it but it was a long time ago and that day I attempted the PM Questions and came across these... Thank you so much for explaining it again.
