Purpose of Assignment 

This comprehensive case requires students to evaluate a static budget and prepare flexible budgets to meet managerial needs. Students are required to calculate and analyze variances and discuss how variances are critical to managerial decision making. 

Assignment Steps

Tutorial help on Excel and Word functions can be found on the Microsoft Office website. There are also additional tutorials via the web offering support for Office products. 

Scenario: Green Pastures is a 400-acre farm on the outskirts of the Kentucky Bluegrass, specializing in the boarding of broodmares and their foals. A recent economic downturn in the thoroughbred industry has led to a decline in breeding activities, and it has made the boarding business extremely competitive. To meet the competition, Green Pastures planned in 2017 to entertain clients, advertise more extensively, and absorb expenses formerly paid by clients such as veterinary and blacksmith fees.

The budget report for 2017 is presented as an attachment. As shown, the static income statement budget for the year is based on an expected 21,900 boarding days at $25 per mare. The variable expenses per mare per day were budgeted: feed $5, veterinary fees $3, blacksmith fees $0.25, and supplies $0.55.  All other budgeted expenses were either semifixed or fixed.

During the year, management decided not to replace a worker who quit in March, but it did issue a new advertising brochure and did more entertaining of clients. 

Develop a minimum 700-word examination of the financial statements and include the following:

  • Based on the static      budget report:
    • What was the primary       cause(s) of the loss in net income?
    • Did management do a       good, average, or poor job of controlling expenses?
    • Were management’s       decisions to stay competitive sound?
  • Prepare a flexible      budget report for the year.
  • Based on the flexible      budget report:
    • What was the primary       cause(s) of the loss in net income?
    • Did management do a       good, average, or poor job of controlling expenses?
    • Were management’s       decisions to stay competitive sound?
  • What course of action do      you recommend for the management of Green Pastures?

Please see attachment for assignment instructions.  

In this assignment, you will be laying the foundation for your final paper. Before you begin on a solution, you need to identify a clear, narrow problem. You cannot address complex social issues in a single effort at a single time. When addressing any complex problem, you need to operationalize it. That is, you need to make it clear, focused, and realistic. You will be identifying and clarifying the problem in this assignment, setting the foundation for future work. To make it more realistic, you will be doing this within the context of a specific agency. You will explore the broader issue, but you will be looking at how a specific agency should approach its “piece of the puzzle.” To do this, you will need to consider the mission of the organization.

Many organizations have a mission statement. There is no specific format for a mission statement, and you may see them as either brief statements or lengthy papers. You may also see other organizational statements, such as vision statements, values statements, goals statements, or any combination of these. Most public agencies have such materials available online, and you will need to locate and reflect upon those materials to frame this foundational discussion of the problem you will use for your course project. If you cannot tie the problem to the mission of the organization, it might suggest mission creep, meaning the organization is beginning to delve into areas beyond its scope, which might suggest an imprudent use of resources.

The materials you generate for this assignment will be integrated into your final paper, so you will be refining them as you move forward. In this assignment, address the following:

1. Identify the public agency you wish to study.

2. Identify the problem on which you wish to conduct the policy analysis, with an evaluation of how that problem fits within the organizational mission.

3. Evaluate the potential costs and benefits of engaging in a policy analysis process to assess organizational problems and priorities.

4. Analyze factors you may use to frame the problem into a manageable scope.

5. Analyze contributing factors one must consider to determine if the problem has too broad or too narrow a focus, using examples to illustrate how the problem concerns the broader community.

6. Provide specific examples to explain how the problem affects the needs of all groups within the community.

7. Evaluate the organizational problem in terms of the organizational mission using a SWOT analysis.

8. Provide examples of how dealing with the issue reflects ethical practices by the public agency.
