AIahmad iqmal1y ago
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 110000x1.03 = 113300 113300x1.03 = 116699 my answer = 120200 110000x1.03 = 113300 113300x1.03 = 116699 116699x1.03 = 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.
