Solution

The correct answer is b. "Develop the production budget prior to the manufacturing overhead budget."

The typical sequence for preparing the components of an operating budget is as follows:

  1. Sales Forecast: This is the starting point of the budgeting process. It estimates the expected sales for the budget period.

  2. Production Budget: This is prepared based on the sales forecast. It outlines the number of units that need to be produced to meet the sales demand and maintain the desired level of inventory.

  3. Direct Materials Budget: This is prepared based on the production budget. It outlines the materials that need to be purchased to meet the production requirements.

  4. Direct Labor Budget: This is prepared based on the production budget. It outlines the labor hours and cost needed to meet the production requirements.

  5. Manufacturing Overhead Budget: This is prepared based on the production budget. It outlines the overhead costs associated with the planned production level.

The other options (a, c, d, e) do not follow the typical sequence of preparing an operating budget.
