Explanation:

Any budget starts by determining our current output level. To calculate the sales budget we must estimate our total revenue using our current output level and the estimated selling price for the next period. If we are certain that our output level will increase or decrease significantly over the next period, we can use the estimated output level instead of the current output level. To calculate the costs budget we must estimate the variable costs per unit times the current output level (variable costs budget) and then we add the estimated fixed costs, which are not necessarily our current fixed costs.
