Answer to Question 1

Answer: The usual budgeting cycle that well-managed companies adopt consists of the following three steps:
1. Before the start of the period, managers and management accountants work together to develop plans for the company as a whole and the performance of its subunits, taking into account the company's past performance, market feedback, and anticipated future changes.
2. At the beginning of the period, managers are provided with a framework that outlines specific financial or nonfinancial expectations against which actual results will be compared.
3. During the course of the year, management accountants and managers investigate any deviations from plans and take corrective action, if necessary.
