those goods and services and also on the larger context of price levels in the economy.
If inflation or deflation is decreasing or increasing the value of our currency, then its purchasing
power is changing and so is the real cost of expenses. As a rule, the budget period should be short
enough so that changes in purchasing power won’t affect the budget too much.

Types of Budget
• Operating (Master) Budget - ties together all the firm’s other budgets
and summarize its proposed financial activities
Timing matters for cash flows because you need to get cash before you spend
it, but also because time affects value, so it is always better to have liquidity
sooner and hang onto it longer. A cash budget provides a much more detailed
look at these timing issues, and the risks-and opportunities-of cash
management that you may otherwise have missed.
Other specialized budgets
Other kinds of specialized budgets focus on one particular financial aspect or goal. A
specialized budget is ultimately included in the comprehensive budget, as it is a part
of total financial activity. You create a budget for that asset or that activity by
segregating its incomes and expenses from your comprehensive budget.
While it can be valuable to isolate and identify the effects of a specific activity or
the progress toward a specific goal, that activity or that goal is ultimately just a
part of your larger financial picture.
