2 Get into good exam habits now! Take a moment to focus on the right approach for this exam. Effective time management Watch the clock, allow 1.95 minutes per mark. Work out how long you can spend on each question and do not exceed that time. Take a few moments to think what the requirements are asking for and how you are going to answer them. Effective planning This paper is in exactly the same format as the real exam. You should read through the paper and plan the order in which you will tackle the questions. Always start with the one you feel most confident about. Read the requirements carefully: focus on mark allocation, question words (see below) and potential overlap between requirements. Identify and make sure you pick up the easy marks available in each question. Effective layout Present your numerical solutions using the standard layouts you have seen. Show and reference your workings clearly. With written elements try and make a number of distinct points using headings and short paragraphs. You should aim to make a separate point for each mark. Ensure that you explain the points you are making ie. why is the point a strength, criticism or opportunity? Give yourself plenty of space to add extra lines as necessary, it will also make it easier for the examiner to mark.

The company has found that demand for frozen yoghurt is weather dependent. Last summer the weather was poor and they ended up throwing lots of frozen yoghurt away at the end of the summer. Using estimates about the probable weather conditions and corresponding demand levels for weekends next summer, the following pay off table has been produced to show all the possible contribution outcomes. Weather Probability 10,000 $ No of tubs of frozen yoghurt produced 8,000 $ 4,000 $ Good 20% 3,000 2,400 1,200 Average 50% 1,900 2,400 1,200 Poor 30% (300) 200 1,200 FY has decided to sign an advance contract at one of the three levels to match forecast demand. It now has to decide which level to select. The expected value of contribution if 10,000 tubs are produced is $1,460. The expected value of contribution if 8,000 tubs are produced is $1,740. 8

9 21 How many tubs should the company produce based on the maximin and maximax decision rules? Maximin Maximax A 10,000 4,000 B 8,000 10,000 C 4,000 8,000 D 4,000 10,000 (2 marks) 22 If FY applies the minimax regret rule, what kind of decision making is this? A Risk averse B Risk seeking C Risk neutral D Risk spreading (2 marks) 23 What is the expected contribution if 4,000 tubs are produced and how many tubs should the company produce based on the expected value decision rules? Expected contribution from 4,000 tubs Tubs to be produced using expected value rules A $1,460 10,000 B $1,200 8,000 C $1,460 8,000 D $1,200 4,000 (2 marks) 24 What is the expected value of contribution with perfect information? A $7,200 B $1,740 C $2,160 D $1,200 (2 marks) 25 The following statements have been made about perfect information by a trainee at FY. (1) Perfect information is guaranteed to predict the future with 100% accuracy. (2) Perfect information means that the correct decision would always been made, but as this is in hindsight it is not useful for calculations. Which of the above statements is/are true? A 1 only B 2 only C Neither 1 nor 2 D Both 1 and 2 (2 marks) 9

10 The following scenario relates to questions Alpha Co uses rolling budgeting, updating its budgets on a quarterly basis. After carrying out the last quarter's update to the cash budget, it projected a large forecast cash deficit at the end of the year. Consequently, the planned purchase of new capital equipment for Project A has been postponed. Alpha Co has been working on a second project, Project B, and has developed a new product. The first batch of 20 units will take 600 labour hours to produce. There will be an 80% learning curve that will continue until 500 units have been produced. Batches after this level will each take the same amount of time as the 25th batch. The batch size will always be 20 units. Note: The learning index for an 80% learning curve is What is the cumulative average time per batch for the first 25 batches? A 0.35 hours B 8.52 hours C hours D 5, hours (2 marks) 27 After checking the calculations, Alpha Co decided that the learning curve should be revised to 90% (learning index of ). The cumulative average time per batch for the first 25 batches was recalculated as hours. What is the time taken for the 25th batch? A 2.29 hours B hours C hours D 4, hours (2 marks) 28 With regards to the capital expenditure postponement, which of the following types of control is the manager's actions an example of? A Feedforward control B Negative feedback control C Positive feedback control D Double loop feedback control (2 marks) 29 The manager of an Alpha Co is aware of the several problems with its information systems.

B Information produced by the office is disseminated more widely than necessary. C The same information is collected by more than one method. D A large amount of time is spent correcting errors in expenses claims. (2 marks) 30 Which of the following statements are true? (1) If there is a learning curve of 70%, the learning index = log 0.7 / log 2 (2) An 80% learning curve means labour are learning more quickly than a 90% learning curve (3) The learning curve phenomenon is always present A (1) and (2) B (1) and (3) C (2) and (3) D (1), (2) and (3) (2 marks) (Total = 30 marks) 10

11 Section C BOTH questions are compulsory and MUST be attempted 31 Greenloch City Council The mayor of Greenloch City Council recently attended an international summit on public finances, where she learned about the success that some city councils have had with zero based budgeting (ZBB), and she is now keen to implement it. Currently, each of the seven departments in Greenloch City Council use an incremental budgeting approach, whereby the budget is prepared by taking the current period's actual performance as a base, with incremental amounts then being added for the new budget period. These incremental amounts include adjustments for things such as inflation, or planned increases in sales prices and costs. With zero-based budgeting, the budgeting process starts from a base of zero, with no reference being made to the prior period's budget or actual performance. All of the budget headings, therefore, literally start with a balance of zero. Required (a) What are the stages involved in implementing zero based budgeting? (5 marks) (b) Explain some of the advantages and disadvantages of: (i) Incremental budgeting (5 marks) (ii) Zero based budgeting (5 marks) (c) Advise the mayor on whether or not you think that zero based budgeting should be implemented in each of the departments of Greenloch City Council. (5 marks) (Total = 20 marks) 11

12 32 The Machinery Group The Machinery Group comprises of two companies, X Co, which manufactures components from raw materials, and Y Co, which assembles machinery which it sells to a number of industry sectors. Many of the components used in these machines are purchased from X Co. The current policy of the group is to allow the managers of each company to negotiate with each other concerning the transfer prices. The manager of X Co charges the same price internally for its components that it charges for its external customers. The manager of X Co argues that this is fair because if the internal sales were not made he could increase his external sales. X Co annual external sales amounts to $400,000 which is estimated to be 80% of the external demand for its components. X Co annual sales to Y Co amounts to $350,000. The manager of Y Co believes that the price being charged by X Co for the components is too high and is restricting Y Co's ability to win orders. Recently Y Co failed to win a potentially profitable order which it priced using its normal gross profit mark-up. The competitor who won the order set a price that was just under Y Co's price. An analysis of the cost structure of X Co indicates that 40% of the cost of sales is fixed costs and the remaining costs vary with the value of sales. X Co's cost of sales is $250,000. Required (a) (i) Discuss how the present transfer pricing policy is affecting the overall performance of the group. (5 marks) (ii) Explain, including appropriate calculations, the transfer price or prices at which the components should be supplied by Y Co to X Co. (11 marks) (b) Explain two factors that the group should consider when setting the transfer pricing policy. (4 marks) (Total = 20 marks) 12
