6-28 Kaizen approach to activity-based budgeting. Your Mart (YM) has a Kaizen (continuous improvement) approach to budgeting activity area costs for each month of 2019. Each successive month, the budgeted cost driver rate decreases by 0.2% relative to the preceding month (so, for example, February's budgeted cost driver rate is 0.998 times January's budgeted cost driver rate, and March's budgeted cost driver rate is 0.998 times the budgeted February 2019 rate). YM assumes that the budgeted amount of cost driver usage remains the same each month. Required 1. What is the total budgeted cost for each activity and the total budgeted indirect cost for March 2019? 2. What are the benefits of using a Kaizen approach to budgeting? What are the limitations of this approach, and how might YM management overcome them
