BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The long-term goals that you plan to achieve in the future, play
an important role in everyday life as you already have in mind a set of
plans for the next five years. If you are not yet sure what you want in five
years from now will probably still have an idea of what kind of life you
want. You are still in the process of planning.
Planning is an important aspect of the firm’s operations because
it provides road maps for guiding, coordinating, and controlling the firm’s
actions to achieve its objectives. Management planning is about setting the
goals of the organization and identifying ways on how to achieve them.

Short-term financial plans or the tactical plans specify short- term
financial actions and the anticipated impact of those actions. Part of short
term financial plans include setting the sales forecast and other forms of
operating and financial data. This would then translate into operating
budgets, the cash budget, and pro forma financial statements.

marketing, personnel, finance and plant facilities)

are the ones who implement these plans

balances and amounts spent for various items gives you a foundation for
financial planning activities.

Step 3: Identify Alternative Courses of Action
Developing alternatives is crucial for making good decisions. Although
many factors will influence the available alternatives, possible courses of
action usually fall into these categories:
• Continue the same course of action.
• Expand the current situation.
• Change the current situation.
• Take a new course of action.
• Not all of these categories will apply to every decision situation;
however, they do represent possible courses of action.
• Creativity in decision making is vital to effective choices.

To implement your financial action plan, you may need assistance
from others. For example, you may use the services of an insurance agent to
purchase property insurance or the services of an investment broker to
purchase stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.

Formula and Format for the Preparation of Budgets
and Projected Financial Statement

The Sales Budget
This is how a sales budget is formulated. The most important
account in the financial statement in making a forecast is sales. To forecast
means is to plan beforehand. Since most of the expenses are correlated with
sales, the sales budget is formulated. Financial Statement analysis
discussed in your Accounting subjects that cost of sales ratio, gross profit
ratio, and variable operating expenses ratio are based on the sales figure.
Given the importance of the sales forecast, the financial manager must be
able to support this figure with reasonable assumptions.
SALES BUDGET
Formula: Forecasted unit sales x Price per unit= Total gross sales
External Internal
• Gross Domestic Product • production capacity
(GDP) growth rate • man power requirements
• Inflation • management style of managers
• Interest Rate • reputation and network of the controlling
• Foreign Exchange Rate stockholders
• Income Tax Rates • financial resources of the company
• Developments in the industry
• Competition
• Economic Crisis
• Regulatory Environment
• Political Crisis

of goods and services. This means that we should not forecast high sales of
the periods of low GDP.
Competition. Suppose you are selling bread and you know that
each person in your community eats an average of one loaf of bread a day.
The population of your community is 500 people. If you are the only person
selling bread in your town, then your sales forecast is 500 units of bread.
However, you also have to take account your competition. What if there are
4 other sellers of bread? You will need to have to divide the sales between
the 5 of you. Does this mean your new forecast should be 100 units of bread?
Not necessary. You should also know the preference of your consumers. If
more of them would prefer to buy more bread from you, then you should
increase your sales forecast.
Internal Factors
Production Capacity and manpower. Suppose that you have already
evaluated the macroeconomic factors and identified that there is a very
strong market for your product and consumers are very likely to buy from
you. You forecasted that you will be able to sell 1,000 units of your product.
However, you only have 20 employees who are able to produce 20 units
each. Your capacity cannot cover your expected demand hence, you are
limited by it. To be able to increase capacity, you should be able to expand
your operations.
There is an implications if sales budget is not correct. If
understated, there can be lost opportunities in the form of forgone sales. If
it is too optimistic, the management may decide to unnecessarily increase
capacity or hire more employees and end up with more inventories.
Production Budget
What a production budget is and how it is formulated? A production budget
provides information regarding the number of units that should be

precise and accurate in numbers in the future.

If you want to predict your business’s cash flow, create a cash flow
projection. A cash flow projection estimates the money you expect to flow in and
out of your business, including all of your income and expenses. The chart above
is an example of projected cash flows (Kappel, M. 2019).
