MAIN BODY
Objective of preparing a budget
In order to achieve the business goals and objectives of the company, every business
strives to develop those policies and methods that would help them in achieving those designated
goals. Budget formulation involve estimation of the probable expenses that might be incurred
and the revenues (Kouvelis, Pangm & Ding, 2018). These help in ascertaining that how well an
organisation is capable of achieving the objectives in the company. The different objectives of
budget preparation for Sky Cafe is: Providing Structure: development of the budget will help the management of the Sky
Cafe in ascertaining the correct direction in which the company should go and acts as a
guidance. Further, it acts as a planning tool and helps in developing a structure regarding
the manner in which activities are to be performed in the cafe and also shows how much
expected income and expenditure will take place. Cash Flow Prediction: Since Sky Cafe is basically located near the Airport, the sales are
usually seasonal and cannot be predicted in a definite manner. In such lucrative
businesses, preparing budgets is of extreme assistance since it helps in determining what
will be the income i.e. the cash flows that the cafe would be able to earn in the coming
period are forecasted in an accurate manner. Resource Allocation: The budget preparation helps in identifying which head will require
how much resources and under what category of expenditure. Therefore, the Sky Cafe
would be able to determine what would be the approximate resource requirement for
different departments and activities of the Twin Budget thus determining correct and
justified amount of resources (Chiu & Choi, 2016). This further assists in avoiding any
unnecessary expenditure in the Cafe and ensures that different functions have adequate
resources.
