| Summary: | Let’s Go Aero introduces students (undergraduates, MBAs, executive audiences) to budgeting. The setting is a manufacturer of aluminum trailers. The rich background material allows students to explore budgeting as a planning and coordinating tool. Preparation of multiple budget scenarios emphasizes the interdependency of the functional areas (marketing, purchasing, production, and accounting). The case identifies company policies for monthly inventory needs which are used, along with other projections, to prepare production, purchasing, and cash budgets. By preparing a series of budgets, students are introduced to the potential negative impacts of uneven sales and counter-productive reward schemes. |
