Master budget
A master budget is a collection of various operational budgets (Block & Hirt 2007). The components of the master budget are discussed in the subsequent section.
Sales budget and schedule of cash receipts
This section will show the expected number of units that will be sold, the selling price per unit and the total sales for each of the twelve months. The expected number of units will be estimated using percentages of total sales for the year (Collier 2010). Based on the calculations, the budgeted sales for the year amounts to AED11, 250,000 thousand in the year 2014. Also, the amount of cash that will be collected during each month will also be presented in the table below.

Production budget
The budget will give an estimate of the total production that is required during the year. The values will be arrived at by adding the estimated sales to the desired ending inventory. The sum of the two will give the required monthly production. The desired inventory at the beginning of the period will be deducted to obtain the number of units that must be produced (Seal, Garrison & Noreen 2011).

Also, the monthly amount of money that will be used for the purchase of the raw materials will be estimated (Hilton 2010).

Direct labour budget
The direct labour budget seeks to provide an estimation of the total direct labour cost for the year. The value is arrived at by multiplying the total hours of direct labour that is required for production and the cost of direct labour per hour (Horngren, Foster, Datar, Black and Gray 2011).

Manufacturing overhead budget
The manufacturing overhead budget gives an estimation of the amount of cash disbursement for the manufacturing overhead. The budget combines both the variable and fixed manufacturing overhead. The fixed manufacturing overhead includes items such as training and development costs, taxes, salaries for supervisors, and depreciation of equipment among others (Horngren, Harrison, Oliver, Best, Fraser, Tan & Willett 2012).

Ending finished goods inventory budget
The budget for ending finished inventory will give an estimation of the value of closing stock for the entire year. The value of ending inventory will be arrived at through a multiplication of the unit cost of the product by the number of units of finished goods remaining unsold at the end of the year. It is worth mentioning that two approaches will be estimate the per unit product cost. These are absorption and marginal costing. The budgeted cost of sales will be estimated after the calculation of ending inventory. The other components of cost of sales were calculated in the section above.

The budgeting ending inventory and cost of sales using absorption costing yielded higher results than marginal costing approach. The result is consistent with the study materials (Noreen, Brewer & Garrison 2014).
Selling and administrative expense budget
The budget will give an estimate of the amount that will be spent on selling and administrative expense. The budget combines both the fixed and variable selling and administrative expenses. Some of the items that will be included in the budget are bad debts and amount spent on renting premises such as warehouses (Abraham, Glynn, Murphy & Wilkinson 2010).

Cash budget
The cash budget is quite significant because it combines all the output of the other budgets discussed above. The budget seeks to determine whether the company will have adequate cash that meet all the running expenses. Therefore it will reveal whether the company will require additional funding and to what extent (Brigham & Michael 2009; Williams, Haka, Bettner, & Carcello, 2010).
