Budget analysis needed ASAP
I need a budget analysis completed. I will provide the template and previous assignments needed to complete this project. I am on a time crunch and need this done ASAP. Using the workbooks and budget variance report you created for Final Project Part I, you will make recommendations about possible changes. You will look at the possibility of making some components of one product instead of buying them, and you will determine how to evaluate the company as a whole and managers in particular. You will create a budget analysis detailing your findings. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in your analysis:
a) Budget Process and Variances
1. Discuss the initial budget process, the variances, and potential reasons for the variances.
2. What are the changes you think the company should make based on the variance analysis? What will the changes accomplish?
3. What are the ethical considerations of the changes you have selected? Why are you recommending these particular changes?
b) "Make" or "Buy": Suppose you were to consider buying a particular component of one of your products or making the product in-house.
1. What factors would you consider in such a "make" or "buy" decision?
2. What are the ethical considerations of your decision? What implications could this decision have?
3. For each option (i.e., to "make" or to "buy"), how will this impact the efficiencies of your operation?
c) Nonfinancial Performance Measures
1. What suggestions would you make for nonfinancial performance measures that the company should adopt? What are the pros and cons of each suggestion?
2. What are the ethical considerations of your suggestions? Explain the significance of each.
