A Head office costs are not deducted because they do not relate directly to the division. 2 A ROI the manager would accept the project if ROI is greater than the target of 8%. The ROI of the project is 9% (53,900 80,000) so would be accepted. 3 A Residual income the project will be accepted as this is positive: Profit of the project 53,900 Imputed interest (80,000 6%) 29,600 Residual income 24,300 4 B A throughput accounting approach assumes that materials are the only variable costs.

5 Section B Item Answer Justification 6 A Total cost of Car X using absorption costing: Variable cost per unit 30,000 Absorbed fixed costs: (200 hours 37.7) 7,434 Total absorption cost 37,434 WORKING Hours Budgeted fixed production overhead 26,020,000 Budgeted machine hours: Car X: 220,000 Car Y: 480, ,000 Fixed overhead per machine hour A Car X Car Y Production (units),00,600 Number of cars per production run 0 40 Number of production runs 0 40 Inspections per production run Number of inspections 2,200 3,200 7,020,000 Cost per inspection = =,300 2,200 3,200 8 A Setup cost per unit = 3,200,000 (W),600 = 2,000.

6 9 C Statements (2), (3) and (4) are correct. When using absorption costing, all overhead costs were apportioned between the two products based on machine hours. The portion of overheads apportioned to Car Y was 480, ,000 = 68.6%. Although absorption costing does not split the overhead costs into the three activities, in effect, 68.6% of the costs of all activities are apportioned to Car Y. In using activity based costing: () Machine costs are apportioned using machine hours; therefore the same portion of machine costs are apportioned to Car Y using activity based costing. Statement () is NOT true. (2) Car Y uses 40 setups from a total of 50. This represents 26.7% of total setup costs, so is lower than the costs apportioned under absorption costing. Statement (2) is true. (3) Car Y uses 3,200 inspections from a total of 5,400, being 59.2%. This is lower than the 68.6% apportioned under absorption costing. (4) Statement (4) is correct. Generally activity based costing better reflects the costs of the activities used to make a product than absorption costing. 20 C Actions (2), (4) and (5) would reduce the cost per unit. 2 D () reducing the number of cars per production run would increase the number of setups, thus increasing the setup costs. (3) would increase the cost per unit. Actual sales at actual price 385,000 Actual sales at standard price (3,000 30(W)) 390,000 Sales price variance 5,000 (adverse) WORKING 360,000 Standard price based on budget is = 30 per unit 2, B Flexed budgeted contribution: 360,000 Budgeted selling price = 30 per unit. 2,000 70, , ,000 Budgeted variable production costs = = 8 per unit 4,000 Budgeted contribution per unit 2 per unit. Flexed budget contribution = 3,000 2 = 56, DeVry/Becker Educational Development Corp. All rights reserved. 6

7 23 D () is incorrect. The difference between the flexed budget and actual would give a variance that is the sum of the material price and usage. (2) is incorrect. The standard material cost per unit is 5, so the standard cost of actual production is 67,500. Actual material costs were 69,000, so some of the difference between budget and actual is due to either price or usage (or both). (3) and (4) are correct. 24 B Incremental budgeting means starting with previous years budgets and adjusting them with incremental items such as inflation. 25 A (3) If there is not a high level of trust, bottom up budgeting would be less appropriate as managers might attempt to make budgets easier to achieve (e.g. by adding budgetary slack). (5) If there is a high degree of dependency, the departments budgets will need to be coordinated with each other. This is more easily achieved with top down budgeting. 26 A Tutorial note: The approach to maximising profit, in the situation of limited factors is to maximise contribution per unit of limited factor. In this case, the limited factor is labour hours, so the approach is to maximise contribution per hour of labour: PN BE per batch per batch Selling price Materials Labour Variable overheads 30 0 Contribution per batch Labour hours per batch 3 Contribution per labour hour Therefore the preferred product, BE, will be produced to the maximum weekly demand (400); followed by PN. Tutorial note: The optimal production plan with,000 labour hours is to produce 400 batches of BE in 400 hours and 200 batches of PN (i.e ) in the remaining 600 hours. 27 C Normal hourly rate + shadow price = = Tutorial note: The shadow price of a scarce resource is the amount by which contribution would increase if one additional unit of scarce resource becomes available. Thus it is the maximum amount above the normal price that a business would be prepared to pay for additional units of the resource. 206 DeVry/Becker Educational Development Corp.

8 28 A TPAR = WORKINGS Return per factory hour (W) Cost per factory hour (W2) = 46.7 = () Return per factory hour per batch of PN Selling price 450 Materials 90 Throughput contribution per batch 40 Labour hours per batch 3 Return per factory hour 46.7 (2) Cost per factory hour Total labour cost (,000 30) 30,000 Variable overheads (,000 0) 0,000 Fixed costs (Based on budgeted quantities) (40 250) + (30 340) 20,200 Total fixed costs per week 60,200 Fixed cost per factory hour (60,200,000) D (3), (4) and (5) could improve TPAR. () Would most likely lead to higher cost of materials, so would reduce the throughput return per hour and therefore TPAR. (2) Would reduce the throughput return per unit. The number of units sold could not be increased because output is constrained by the bottleneck in this case labour hours. (3) Would increase throughput as labour is the bottleneck, so this would lead to better use of the bottleneck. (4) Reducing fixed costs would reduce the factory costs per hour, thus increasing TPAR. (5) Automating some tasks would increase output of labour thereby reducing the labour time per unit. Since labour is the bottleneck, this would increase throughput return per unit (by reducing labour time per unit). 30 B This is the meaning of slack. 206 DeVry/Becker Educational Development Corp.

9 Section C 3 BORO Marks (a) Maximum price acceptable to Boro (b) Tutorial note: The maximum transfer price that Boro would be prepared to accept for 2 kg of special ingredient Z is the net revenue from sales of the Madison (i.e. revenues less costs before deducting the transfer price). This is calculated as follows: Selling price per unit (per Q) 5 Less: Raw material costs (2 8.5) (7) Other variable costs (60% 5) (69) Net revenue 29 This net revenue applies to 2 kg of special ingredient Z. So the maximum price that Boro would be prepared to pay for kg of special ingredient Z would be 4.50 (i.e. ½ 29). Minimum transfer price acceptable to Magpie (i) Magpie has unused capacity to make 4,000 kg of Z The basic rule that applies in all cases is that the minimum transfer price acceptable to the selling division is the marginal cost of making the transfer plus the opportunity cost. In this situation Magpie has no alternative opportunity for 4,000 kg of its production of special ingredient Z, so there is no opportunity cost. It should, therefore, offer to transfer this quantity at marginal cost. Based on the information given in the question about the external price charged by Magpie for ingredient X, we can work backwards to find the marginal cost as follows: External market price 5 Total cost (5 00 / 25 ) 2 Variable portion (75% 2) 9 Less savings on internal transfers (.5) Marginal cost of internal transfers 7.5 The minimum transfer price applicable in this case would be the marginal cost of 7.5 per kg of material Z. ½ ½ 3 ½ ½ DeVry/Becker Educational Development Corp. All rights reserved. 9

10 (ii) Magpie has an external market for all of its output of special ingredient Z Where Magpie has an external market, the opportunity cost equals the lost contribution from selling externally. This is as follows: Selling price 5 Less variable costs 9 Contribution per unit 6 The minimum transfer price = marginal cost plus opportunity cost. Marginal cost is 7.5 per kilo (see part (i)) = = 3.5. Tutorial comment: This can be looked at in a different way: Since Magpie has an external market which is the opportunity foregone, the relevant transfer price would be the external selling price of 5 per kg. This will be adjusted to allow for the.50 per kg avoided on internal transfers due to packing costs not required: The minimum transfer price would be 5.50 = 3.50 per kg. (iii) Magpie has an alternative use for 2,000 kg of capacity Magpie has an alternative use for the first 2,000 kg of special ingredient Z production capacity which will yield a contribution of 6,000. The balance of its spare capacity (2,000 kg) has no opportunity cost and should still be offered at marginal cost. Magpie should therefore offer to transfer: 2,000 kg at = 0.50 per kg 2,000 kg at 7.50 per kg. (c) Behavioural implications if Magpie insists on a transfer price of 5 (i) How decision will be affected If Magpie were to charge more than 4.5 per kg, Boro would make a loss on producing the Madison therefore Boro will not accept a price greater than 4.5 per kilo. If Magpie insists of a price of 5 therefore, Boro will not buy the ingredient and will not be able to make the new product. 2 4 ½ ½ ½ + max DeVry/Becker Educational Development Corp.

11 (ii) Impact on group profit In this case the managers are acting in a manner which is not beneficial to the organisation as a whole. There will be a cost to the business of this decision as follows: Lost revenue from sales of new product (2,000 units 5) (230,000) Saved costs: Boro variable costs ( ) 72,000 Magpie marginal cost of 4,000 kg of Z (4, ) 30,000 Lost contribution to the group (28,000) Tutorial note: Boro s management decided not to make the new product as the transfer price proposed by Magpie was too high. The impact on group profits is calculated by determining the relevant cash flows of that decision. These are:. The revenue that Boro would have made from selling the product this is lost. 2. The variable costs that will be saved by Boro since it will not make the product. 3. The marginal costs that will be saved by Magpie not producing the 4,000 kg of Z which would have been needed for the new product. 4. The opportunity cost that will be saved by Magpie since it will be able to use all its capacity to meet external demand for its products. However, in this case there would have been no opportunity cost since Magpie has spare capacity so could have supplied Boro in full without losing any external sales. 32 GTK CO (a) Calculation of selling price variance and sales volume variance Sales price variance = ( ) 32,000 = 3,840 (A) Sales volume variance = (30,000 32,000) 8.28 = 6,560 (F) Reconciliation of actual to budgeted contribution Budgeted contribution (30, ) 248,400 Less sales price variance (3,840) Add sales volume variance 6,560 Actual contribution (32, ) 26,20 4 Marks DeVry/Becker Educational Development Corp.

12 (b) Planning and operational variances (c) Planning selling price variance Actual quantity original standard price (32, ) 399,360 Actual quantity revised standard price (32, ) 389,760 Planning price variance (adverse) 9,600 Operational price variance Actual quantity actual price (32, ) 395,520 Actual quantity (revised) standard price (32, ) 389,760 Operational price variance (favourable) 5,760 Tutorial note: The sum of the operational and planning price variances is 3,840 adverse. This is the same as the price variance calculated in part (a). Performance of the sales department The sales volume variance is favourable. This is because the sales department sold more headphones than budgeted, which results in higher contribution. The price variance was adverse which implies that the higher volume was achieved by selling at a lower price than standard. However, the effect on contribution of the two variances was favourable. The planning sales price variance simply shows the impact on budgeted profit of revising the standard selling price. In this case the selling price was revised downwards, which would result in a lower contribution. The operating price variance compares the actual price achieved with the revised standard price. Since the standard price was revised, it should provide a more relevant target than the original standard. The operating price variance is therefore a better measure of performance of the sales team than the price variance based on the original standard. The operating price variance is favourable, showing that the price achieved was higher than expected. Overall, the sales department appears to have performed well. It has achieved a higher sales volume than expected, as reflected in the sales volume variance, and has also managed to obtain higher prices than expected. Before reaching any conclusions, it would be useful to know the basis used to plan the budgeted output. The scenario indicates that the market for headphones is growing rapidly. Given this fact, it would be useful to know if the actual market for headphones grew by more than expected. If this is the case, it may not be entirely fair to congratulate the sales team on doing a good job if the market was better than expected. Budgeted market share and actual market share achieved would provide better information to assess this.

13 (d) Principles in deciding whether to revise a standard The purpose of having a standard cost is so that actual performance can be compared against an appropriate target and any deviations from the target can be investigated by means of variances to identify where performance has not been as expected. (e) Variances should reflect only factors within the control of the person whose performance is being judged. If factors occurred outside of the control of these persons that meant the standard could not be achieved, then the standard should be revised to take account of these. Examples include changes in market price of inputs and changes in operating environment that are outside the scope of the manager. Standards may also be revised when it turns out that the original standard was unrealistic. For example, when a standard is set for a new process and the assumptions on which the standard was based turn out to be incorrect. Standards should not be revised to change the reported variances, for example to hide inefficiencies. There is a danger that when standards are revised because the original standard was unrealistic that in reality the standard was fine; the actual performance was poor and the manager is trying to pass this off as a planning issue. In practice, judgement will often be required to decide whether or not a proposed revision of a standard should be allowed. Revisions to standards should be subject to appropriate procedures relating to authorisation. A senior member of the management team should authorise any proposed changes. Tutorial note: Marks would be given for other relevant comments. Request of production manager The production manager has requested that the standard be revised to take into account a pay rise given to the workers above the expected pay rise when the standard was set. It could be argued that the standard provided a guide to the production manager about the acceptable level of pay rises. The higher than expected pay rise was a decision of the production manager. Since this was within his control (he chose to ignore the standard, rather than being forced to do so), the standard should not be revised. The higher pay rise was an operational decision and should be reflected in the operational variance. On the other hand, the production manager argued that the staff were demotivated. Perhaps the original pay rise was unrealistic. As such, there is an argument that the standard should be revised to a more realistic level. In my opinion, the standard should not be revised. The pay rise was an operational decision. If staff really have been motivated by the pay rise, this may be reflected in the labour efficiency variance, which would be favourable. max DeVry/Becker Educational Development Corp.

15 Q Part Topic Study Text ref 3 (a) Transfer pricing (b) (c) MOCK EXAM FEEDBACK SUMMARY PAPER F5 MOCK SECTION C RQB coverage 7 Q8 Business Solutions Commentary 206 DeVry/Becker Educational Development Corp. All rights reserved. This question required the calculation of the maximum price that would be acceptable to a buying division. Few candidates were aware that the maximum price should be the lower of the external market price (none in this question) and the net revenue of the buying division. This required the calculation of the minimum transfer price from the perspective of the supplying division under three situations. This required candidates to apply the rule that the minimum price is the marginal cost of production plus the opportunity cost. Candidates performed well in the first two situations, where the opportunity cost related to sales of the same product externally, but found the third situation more challenging, where opportunity cost related to sales of a different product. Students need to just apply the same principle, which is to calculate the opportunity cost. This required candidates to explain the decisions that would be made by the buying division manager and the effect on group profits if the selling division insisted on a selling price higher than the net revenue of the selling division. Most candidates could identify that the buying division would not trade, but few candidates could calculate the impact this would have on profits. A good piece of advice is to remember that this is really a relevant costing question, where candidates are required to compare the relevant costs and benefits of not trading with those of trading.

16 Q Part Topic Study Text ref 32 (a) & (b) Planning variances relating to sales price (c) (d) & (e) Planning variances Revision of budgets and standards MOCK EXAM FEEDBACK SUMMARY PAPER F5 MOCK SECTION C RQB coverage 3 6 Spike Co Commentary 206 DeVry/Becker Educational Development Corp. All rights reserved. 2 The first two parts required calculation of basic sales variances and then analysing the sales price variance into planning and operational. The majority of students were able to calculate these variances correctly. While the preferred approach is to value the price variances using actual sales, credit would be given for candidates who used budgeted sales. This required and explanation of the variances. This part was done poorly by many candidates, who simply described the calculation of the variances. A good answer should look at the factors behind the numbers, such as the volume variance reflecting higher demand than expected, probably due to the actual sales price being lower than budget. This required a discussion of the principles that should be applied when deciding whether to revise a standard (part (d)) and then a discussion of whether a particular standard should be revised. Answers to these two parts were very thin, reflecting students dislike of discussion questions. This was a shame because part (d) provided four easy marks for simply reciting theory. A good answer to part (e) would have mentioned both arguments in favour of, and arguments against a revision before reaching a final conclusion. Many candidates preferred to merely write a conclusion with no justification.
