Differences between Complete and partial budgeting

Complete Budgeting

Partial Budgeting

It accounts for a drastic change inorganization of an operation of a farm.

It always treats minor change

All the available alternatives are considered in complete budgeting

Only consider a few, generally two

alternatives

It is used for estimating the results of entire organization and operation of a farm.

It only helps for studying net effect in terms of costs and returns or relatively minor change

It is complex, tedious and takes more time for full budgeting.

It is simple, easy and quick

 

Example of Partial Budgeting

If we know the complete budgeting of wheat cultivation, we use the concept of partial budgeting in the technological change such as split dose of fertilizer application.

2.Labor charge for third application

3.Threshing and cleaning required 2

3.Decrease cost at 1st single 10 dose application required added 1 hour @ Rs. 10/hour

4. Marketing of 1 qtl of added  wheat yield required 1 hour @ Rs.

A. Total (a+b)

40

 

B. Total (a+b)

1160

 

Net Gain = B – A = Rs. 1160 – Rs. 40 = Rs. 1140/5 Katha = Rs. 1140*3 = Rs. 3420/ha.

 

Example of Complete Budgeting

Table: A complete budgeting of growing wheat in one bigha of land

Cost of production (Rs. /10 Katha)

A. Fixed Costs

 

a. Land rent

b. Building and equipment depreciation

145

c. Interest on capital used

225

d. Other fixed cost

300

Total Fixed Costs (TFC)

720

B. Variable Costs

 

a. Wage of labor

285

b. Seeds

50

c. Urea

375

d. Irrigation

75

e. Insecticides

35

Total Variable Costs (TVC)

780

C. Total Cost = TFC + TVC

1500

D. Gross Return

7000

E. Net Return

5500

Total Return = Rs. 7000/10 Katha = Rs. 7000*3 = Rs. 21,000/ha
