I'm sorry, but I don't have a budget for this exam. Can I just wing it and hope for the best?

Wait, we're not budgeting for a party, are we? I thought this was a test, not a financial planning exercise!

Option B looks good to me. It makes sense to start with the production budget, then the sales budget, and then the materials budgets.

I'm torn between options C and D. Both seem plausible, but I'm leaning towards C since it seems more intuitive to go from sales to production and then the materials budgets.

Yeah, I also think option C is the best choice. It just seems more intuitive to start with sales and then move on to production and materials budgets.

I agree with Reita. The sales budget is the foundation for the other budgets, so it makes sense to start there.

Option C seems logical, as the sales budget would be the first to be prepared, followed by the production budget, and then the materials usage and purchases budgets.
