1 General Comments The overall result on this paper was reasonable and, while performance was well below the level seen in May 2008, there was a small improvement on the previous November sitting. gained in Section A were once again particularly good. This provided a firm foundation for many candidates to go on and achieve a pass on this paper. However, a number of candidates still do not attempt all of the multiple-choice questions. Some candidates were unable to build sufficiently upon their performance in Section A. This was frequently due to relatively weaker performance in both Section B and Section C where the focus was more on narrative answers, especially if candidates chose question 3 in Section C. This may have been a factor in the relative unpopularity of question 3. Candidates often demonstrated some difficulty in focusing on the specific requirements in those questions requiring narrative answers. There was little evidence of time pressures or poor time management. However, workings in answer to calculation questions were at times unnecessarily lengthy, detailed and/or repetitive. Adequate workings to calculation questions are always required (apart from the multiple-choice questions), for the benefit of markers and candidates alike Also time spent planning answers is time well spent if it reduces the overall time taken to answer the question. Lack of preparation once again seemed to be the primary reason for candidate failure. Candidates who failed this exam must try to prepare themselves for future exams with a good knowledge of all topic areas. In the exam they must read questions carefully and then answer the specific question asked rather than write all they know on a broader topic. They must be prepared to apply their knowledge to particular practical scenarios. Page 1

2 Section A 40 marks Question 1.1 What is the name given to a budget that has been prepared by re-evaluating activities and comparing the incremental costs of those activities with their incremental benefits? A B C D Incremental budget Rolling budget Zero base budget Flexible budget (2 marks) The answer is C Question 1.2 Which ONE of the following would NOT explain a favourable direct materials usage variance? A B C D Using a higher quality of materials than that specified in the standard. A reduction in materials wastage rates. An increase in suppliers quality control checks. Achieving a lower output volume than budgeted. (2 marks) The answer is D Page 2

3 Question 1.3 A manufacturing company pays its employees a constant salary for working 35 hours each week. The production process is highly specialised and the quality of output is a critical factor. All completed units are inspected. Currently about 10% of output fails to meet the expected specification. The Managing Director has forecast increasing sales and is keen to reduce the labour cost per unit of production. He has suggested three possible ways of achieving this: 1. Improve direct labour productivity 2. Increase the number of hours worked 3. Reduce the rate of rejections Which of the above suggestions would enable the company to reduce the labour cost per unit? A B C D Suggestion 2 only Suggestions 1 and 2 only Suggestions 1 and 3 only Suggestions 2 and 3 only (2 marks) The answer is C Page 3

4 Question 1.4 The following table shows the number of patients treated and the total costs for a hospital for each of the past four months: Patients Total Cost Month $ 1 5,000 37, ,400 45, ,300 45, ,900 39,420 Applying the high low method to the above information, an equation that could be used to forecast total cost ($) from the number of patients to be treated (where x = number of patients to be treated) is: A 22, x B 24, x C 25, x D 25, x (2 marks) The answer is D Workings ($45,660 - $37,500)/(8,400-5,000) = $2 40 variable cost Fixed cost: $45,660 - (8,400 x $2 40) = $25,500 25, x Page 4

5 Question 1.5 Which of the following is the best description of management by exception? A B C D Using management reports to highlight exceptionally good performance, so that favourable results can be built upon to improve future outcomes. Sending management reports only to those managers who are able to act on the information contained within the reports. Focusing management reports on areas which require attention and ignoring those which appear to be performing within acceptable limits. Appointing and promoting only exceptional managers to areas of responsibility within the organisation. (2 marks) The answer is C Question 1.6 Which of the following would be the most appropriate measure to monitor the performance of the manager of a profit centre? A B C D Gross profit margin Revenue minus all costs Revenue minus controllable costs Return on capital employed (2 marks) The answer is C Question 1.7 The sales volume profit variance is defined as the difference between the A B C D actual and budgeted sales volumes valued at the actual profit per unit. actual and budgeted sales volumes valued at the standard profit per unit. actual and budgeted sales volumes valued at the difference between the actual and standard profit margins. actual and standard profit per unit multiplied by the budgeted sales volume. (2 marks) The answer is B Page 5

6 Question 1.8 A company operates a standard absorption costing system and absorbs fixed production overheads based on machine hours. The budgeted fixed production overheads for the company for the previous year were 660,000 and budgeted output was 220,000 units using 44,000 machine hours. During that year, the total of the fixed production overheads debited to the Fixed Production Overhead Control Account was 590,000, and the actual output of 200,000 units used 38,000 machine hours. Fixed production overheads for that year were: A B C D 90,000 under absorbed 60,000 under absorbed 20,000 under absorbed 10,000 over absorbed (2 marks) The answer is D Workings Overheads are absorbed by the standard content of the actual production. Overhead absorption rate = 660,000/44,000 = 15 per machine hour. The standard is 0 2 hours per unit. Overheads absorbed = 200,000 x 0 2 x 15 = 600,000 The actual overheads were 590,000 and therefore were over-absorbed by 10,000 The following information is for sub-questions 1.9 and 1.10 A company manufactures a fruit flavoured drink concentrate by mixing two liquids (X and Y). The standard cost card for ten litres of the drink concentrate is: $ Liquid X 5 $16 per litre 80 Liquid Y 6 $25 per litre litres 230 The company does not hold any inventory. During the last period the company produced 4,800 litres of the drink concentrate. This was 200 litres below the budgeted output. The company purchased 2,200 litres of X for $18 per litre and 2,750 litres of Y for $21 per litre. Page 6

7 Workings for 1.9 and 1.10 litres $ 35,200 68,750 Actual quantity input at the actual mix 4, ,950 36,000 67,500 Actual quantity input in standard proportion 4, ,500 38,400 72,000 Standard mix needed for the actual output 5, ,400 Question 1.9 The materials mix variance for the period was: A B C D $150 adverse $450 adverse $6,480 favourable $6,900 favourable (2 marks) The answer is B Workings Mix variance = $103,500 - $103,950 = $450 adverse Question 1.10 The materials yield variance for the period was: A B C D $150 adverse $450 adverse $6,480 favourable $6,900 favourable (2 marks) The answer is D Workings Yield variance = $110,400 - $103,500 = $6,900 favourable Page 7

8 Question 1.11 A company has the following total cost data available for two levels of production of one type of product: 4,000 units 8,000 units Purchasing costs 112, ,000 Supervision 25,000 41,000 Power 12,000 15,500 The current supervisor can cover production levels up to and including 5,000 units. For higher levels of production, an assistant supervisor costing 16,000 is also required. For power, a flat fee is payable that will cover all power costs sufficient to produce up to and including 6,000 units. For production above this level there is an additional variable charge per unit. Calculate the total flexed budget cost allowance for the production of 7,500 units. (4 marks) Workings Fixed Variable Total Purchasing costs 84,000 (7,500 x 7) 136,500 Supervision 41,000 41,000 Power 12,000 (1,500 x 1 75) 14,625 Total 192,125 Page 8

10 Question 1.13 A company manufactures paint from two sequential processes (P1 and P2). Details for P1 for a period were as follows: Input materials 20,000 litres costing 114,000 Conversion costs 176,000 Opening work in progress nil Transferred to P2 15,000 litres Normal loss 5% of input Abnormal loss 500 litres Closing work in progress 3,500 litres (complete in respect of materials, 60% converted) The company uses the weighted average method of process costing. All losses occur at the end of the process. Prepare the P1 Process Account for the period. (4 marks) Workings Units Cost element Transfer out Closing WIP Abnormal loss Total E.U. Cost per E.U. Input 114,000 15,000 3, , materials Conversion 176,000 15,000 2, , Process 1 Litres Litres Input materials 20, ,000 Process 2 15, ,000 Conversion costs 176,000 Normal loss 1,000 Abnormal loss 500 8,000 WIP 3,500 42,000 20, ,000 20, ,000 Page 10

11 Question 1.14 A company produces and sells one type of product. The details for last year were as follows: Production and Sales Budget Actual Production (units) 25,000 22,000 Sales (units) 23,000 20,000 There was no inventory at the start of the year. Selling price and costs Budget Actual $ $ Selling price per unit Variable costs per unit Fixed production overhead 130, ,000 Fixed selling costs 75,000 75,000 Calculate the actual profit for the year that would be reported using: (i) (ii) marginal costing; absorption costing. (4 marks) Workings Marginal costing Contribution per unit = $70 - $55 = $15 $ Total contribution 20,000 x $15 300,000 Fixed production overheads 118,000 Fixed selling costs 75,000 Profit (using marginal costing) 107,000 Inventory has increased during the period and therefore the profit calculated using absorption costing will be higher than the marginal costing profit by the amount of overheads absorbed by the closing inventory. Fixed production overhead absorption rate = $130,000/25,000 = $5 20 per unit Additional fixed production overhead absorbed by increased inventory = 2,000 x $5 20 = $10,400 Absorption costing profit = $107,000 + $10,400 = $117,400 Page 11

12 Question 1.15 State four factors that should be considered before the cause of a variance is investigated. (4 marks) Workings Factors to be considered include: Size; The possibility of the variance being uncontrollable; The cost of the investigation; The interrelationship with other variances; The relevance of the standard used. (Note: Candidates were required to state four factors) Page 12

13 Section B 30 marks ANSWER ALL SIX SUB-QUESTIONS. EACH SUB-QUESTION IS WORTH 5 MARKS Question 2(a) The following information relates to the budget for the year ahead. Production overhead cost budget Machinery costs 285,000 Set-up costs 235,000 Purchasing costs 300,000 Total production overheads 820,000 The following table shows the total budgeted activities of the company (it manufactures many different types of products) and the details relating to the manufacture of two product lines: S and T. Data Total Product S Product T Machine hours 95,000 2 per unit 1 per unit Number of production runs Purchase orders 5, Production quantities of S & T 5,000 units 20,000 units Calculate, using activity based costing, the production overhead costs that would be attributed to one unit of Product S and one unit of Product T. (5 marks) 2(a) covers learning outcome A(vi): Compare activity-based costing with traditional marginal and absorption costing methods and evaluate its potential as a system of cost accounting. Calculate each cost driver rate using the cost and activity data for the company as a whole Apply the cost driver rates to the data relating to each of the two products to calculate overhead costs per unit of product Cost driver rates (½ for each) Machinery costs per unit Set-up costs per unit Purchasing costs per unit 1½ ½ 1½ 1½ This part was generally well answered with many candidates gaining full marks. apportioning all of the overheads i.e. assuming that there were only two products in the business calculating the total overheads apportioned to each product rather than the overhead cost per unit Page 13

14 Question 2(b) Explain how backflush accounting differs from a traditional absorption costing system. (5 ) 2(b) covers learning outcome A(viii): Evaluate the impact of just-in-time manufacturing methods on cost accounting and the use of back-flush accounting when work-in-progress stock is minimal. Describe backflush accounting Contrast backflush accounting with traditional absorption costing Description of backflush accounting 2 Differences between the two systems (1 for each) 3 Most candidates had some idea about backflush accounting but often failed to explain it adequately. lack of clarity in explaining how costs are backflushed confusing backflush accounting with either marginal, throughput, target or activity-based costing not explaining the main differences between backflush accounting and traditional absorption costing Page 14

15 Question 2(c) Not for profit organisations do not have the objective of profit as a means of measuring performance and therefore many choose to pursue value for money by managing efficiency and effectiveness. Explain, using an example of your choice, how Not for profit organisations may have difficulties in managing efficiency and effectiveness. (5 ) 2(c) covers learning outcome D(iv): Calculate and apply measures of performance for investment centres (often strategic business units or divisions of larger groups). Define efficiency and effectiveness Give an example of a suitable measure of each in a not for profit organisation Explain why difficult to manage Efficiency and effectiveness definitions (1 for each) 2 Examples of measures (1 for each) 2 Difficulty of managing (1 for each) 2 max 5 This part was not well answered. focusing on managing not for profit organisations generally focusing on why not for profit organisations may be less efficient and/or less effective failing to define and deal with each of efficiency and effectiveness separately suggesting that not for profit organisations would not spend time managing efficiency or effectiveness Page 15

16 Question 2(d) Compare and contrast Economic Value Added and Residual Income, and briefly discuss their merits as divisional performance measures. (5 marks) 2 (d) covers learning outcome D(iv): Calculate and apply measures of performance for investment centres (often strategic business units or divisions of larger groups). Define economic value added and residual income Compare and contrast the two measures Discuss the merits of the two measures Definitions of economic value added and residual income 1 Similarities and differences (1 for each) 2 Merits of the two measures (1 for each) 2 This part was reasonably well answered. Most candidates had a fair idea of the general basis for the measures and that they were expressed in absolute terms. failing to discuss the merits of the two measures and instead focusing entirely on their similarities and differences identifying only part of the adjustments required to determine economic profit (often only what to add back) demonstrating an inability to clearly distinguish between the two measures focusing on the use of the measures for making capital investment decisions Page 16

17 The following information is for sub-questions (e) and (f) Two of the products that are manufactured by a company use the same machines. The products (P1 and P2) are manufactured using two machines (M1 and M2). During the next period the time available on the machines are 126 hours for M1 and 195 hours for M2. The company uses throughput accounting. Unit details of the two products are: P1 P2 $ $ Selling price Materials Labour Variable production overheads Fixed production overheads Profit Any mix of output can be sold at the above prices and there is unlimited demand for each of the products. The machine time needed to make one unit of the products is: P1 P2 M hours 0 40 hours M hours 0 65 hours Page 17

18 Question 2(e) (i) (ii) Calculate the maximum production that is possible from each machine for each of the two products and state the bottleneck. Calculate the throughput accounting ratio for each product. (5 ) 2(e) covers learning outcome A(iv): Explain the origins of throughput accounting as super variable costing and its application as a variant of marginal or variable cost accounting. Calculate the production possibilities for each product on each machine Identify the bottleneck machine Calculate the throughput accounting ratio for each product by dividing the throughput contribution per unit by the conversion cost per unit. (i) Production possibilities on each machine (½ for each) 2 (ii) Bottleneck machine 1 (iii) Throughput accounting ratios (1 for each) 2 Part (i) was reasonably well answered but part (ii) much less so because relatively few candidates calculated the throughput accounting ratios correctly. in (i) calculating the total units from each machine (P1 + P2) or for each product (M1 + M2) in (i) believing that the limiting factor was product P2 on machine M2 rather than machine M2 overall in (ii) calculating the numerator correctly but having different combinations of less than full conversion cost in the denominator in (ii) calculating the throughput contributions per machine hour instead of per unit in (ii) attempting to calculate the required ratios using contribution and costs per hour but using different hours in the numerator and denominator Page 18

19 Question 2(f) Identify, using a throughput approach, the production plan for the next period that would result in the most profitable use of the machines. (All workings must be shown). (5 marks) 2(f) covers learning outcome A(iv): Explain the origins of throughput accounting as super variable costing and its application as a variant of marginal or variable cost accounting. Calculate the throughput contribution per hour for each product on the bottleneck machine Identify the priority for production Determine the production plan Throughput contributions per unit of product (½ for each) 1 Time on bottleneck machine (½ for each) 1 Throughput contributions per bottleneck hour (1 for each) 2 Production plan 1 This part was not well answered. Many candidates made little or no attempt at this part or suggested a variety of incorrect approaches. calculating throughput contributions per hour for both machines and not just for the machine previously identified as the bottleneck using the throughput accounting ratios basing the calculations and ranking on marginal costing contribution or on gross profit ranking on the basis of throughput contributions per unit failing to specify units in the production plan or proposing a plan to produce P2 as well as P1 Page 19

20 Section C 30 marks ANSWER ONE OF THE TWO QUESTIONS Question 3(a) Calculate the impact on the annual profits of each of the two divisions and the G Group as a whole, of the directive that the engines must be purchased internally for 1,600 per engine instead of from the external supplier. (6 marks) 3(a) covers learning outcome C(iii): Calculate projected revenues and costs based on product/service volumes, pricing strategies and cost structures. Calculate the contribution for the Engines Division from the sale of engines to the Motor Cycle Division Calculate the extra cost to the Motor Cycle Division resulting from a purchase price of 1,600 per engine rather than 1,375 Calculate the group profit impact of the Engines Division supplying the 3,600 engines rather than the Motor Cycle Division buying from the external supplier Engines Division contribution 3 Motor Cycle Division extra cost 2 Impact on group profit 1 Most candidates gained some marks but frequently answered a different question from that asked. calculating the difference between using a transfer price of 1,600 per engine and a transfer price of 1,375 per engine (i.e. with no impact on group profit) rather than answering the question asked treating the Engines Division fixed costs as variable costs Page 20

21 Question 3(b) Write a report to the Managing Director of the Group that explains the disadvantages and behavioural implications of using ROCE as a divisional performance measure. Your answer must be based on the above scenario and include an explanation of responsibility accounting. (12 marks) 3(b) covers learning outcome C(viii): Explain the concept of responsibility accounting and its importance in the construction of functional budgets that support the overall master budget. Explain responsibility accounting and define the ROCE performance measure used in investment centres Identify the performance measurement issues in the question scenario Explain/discuss the disadvantages and behavioural implications of using ROCE with particular reference to the question scenario Report format 1 Definition of ROCE 1 Definition of responsibility accounting 2 Deficiencies of ROCE and behavioural implications (up to 2 marks for each point made) 8 This part was reasonably well answered with candidates often demonstrating awareness of potential problems of using ROCE as a divisional performance measure. failing to apply knowledge to the specific scenario failing to explain responsibility accounting despite the clear instruction in the question to do so confusing responsibility accounting with goal congruence believing that the imposed transfer price would affect goal congruence rather than autonomy and motivation Page 21

22 Question 3(c) Explain, with supporting calculations, the minimum and maximum transfer prices that could now be charged for the motor cycle engines. (7 marks) 3(c) covers learning outcome D(vii): Identify the likely consequences of different approaches to transfer pricing for divisional decision making, divisional and group profitability, the motivation of divisional management and the autonomy of individual divisions. Explain the basis for establishing a minimum transfer price Establish the minimum transfer price for the first 2,600 engines Establish the minimum transfer price for the remaining 1,000 engines Establish the maximum transfer price Basis for minimum transfer price 1 Minimum transfer price for 2,600 engines 2 Minimum transfer price for 1,000 engines 3 Maximum transfer price 1 This part was not well answered; answers featured a general lack of explanation. failing to differentiate between the first 2,600 engines and the remaining 1,000 engines believing that the opportunity cost of the lean burn car engine was 40 per motor cycle engine rather than 360 failing to use marginal costs Page 22

23 Question 3(d) Briefly explain three aims of a transfer pricing system. (5 marks) 3(d) covers learning outcome D(vii): Identify the likely consequences of different approaches to transfer pricing for divisional decision making, divisional and group profitability, the motivation of divisional management and the autonomy of individual divisions. List three aims of a transfer pricing system Explain each of the aims Aims (1 for each) 3 Explanation of aims (1 for each) 3 max 5 This part was answered fairly well. demonstrating ability to list three aims but failing to explain the aims adequately. Page 23

24 Question 4(a) During Period 1, the quantity of C1 used was 17,740 kg. Calculate for Period 1 for C1: (i) (ii) the materials usage variance for the whole process the treatment loss percentage (6 marks) 4(a) covers learning outcome B(ii): Calculate and interpret material, labour, variable overhead, fixed overhead and sales variances. Calculate the standard usage of C1 for the actual output in Period 1 Compare the standard and actual usage of C1 to determine the usage variance and evaluate it at standard price Calculate the treatment loss percentage (i) Standard content before treatment loss 1 Standard input after allowing for treatment loss 1 Usage variance 2 (ii) Treatment loss percentage 2 This part, especially (i), was reasonably well answered. Many candidates were awarded marks in (i) for the correct use of their own figures due to an inability to deal correctly with the treatment loss. calculating the standard usage by multiplying by 1.3 rather than dividing by 0.7 to account for the treatment loss failing to allow for the treatment loss at all calculating the budgeted quantity rather than the standard quantity for the actual output multiplying the actual output by 0.4 rather than by 0.2 kg per unit not knowing how to calculate the treatment loss percentage in (ii) Page 24

25 Question 4(b) In Period 1, the company purchased and used 6,450 kg of C3. The cost of this purchase was $94,000. It has now been realised that the standard price of C3 should have been $14 50 per kg for Period 1. (i) (ii) Calculate the planning variance, and the operational price and usage variances for C3 for Period 1. (7 marks) Explain two problems associated with the reporting of planning variances. (3 marks) 4(b) covers learning outcome B(iv): Calculate and explain planning and operational variances. Calculate the planning variance in Period 1 as the difference between the two standard prices per kg of C3 (original and revised) multiplied by the standard usage for the actual output Calculate the operational price variance as the difference between the revised standard price and the actual price per kg of C3 multiplied by the actual usage Calculate the operational usage variance as the difference between the actual usage of C3 and the standard usage for the actual output multiplied by the revised standard price per kg Explain two problems associated with the reporting of planning variances (i) Planning variance 3 Operational price variance 2 Operational usage variance 2 (ii) Problems of reporting planning variances (up to 2 for each) max 3 Part (i) was generally well answered but part (ii) much less so. calculating the planning price variance based on the budgeted or actual quantity calculating a planning usage variance as well as a planning price variance failing to value the operational usage variance valuing the operational usage variance at $12.00 per kg providing incorrect variance signs demonstrating a lack of understanding of the nature of planning variances in (ii) Page 25

26 Question 4(c) Prepare the Purchases Budget for C2 for Period 2. (5 marks) 4(c) covers learning outcome C(vi): Evaluate and apply alternative approaches to budgeting. Calculate the amount of C2 required for production in Period 2 Calculate the increase in inventory of C2 required for the following period Calculate the purchase quantity and value of C2 in Period 2 by adding the production quantity and the increase in inventory and multiplying by the standard cost per kg. Production requirement 1 Inventory requirement 1 Add requirements for production and inventory to determine purchase quantity 2 Value of purchases 1 This part was reasonably well answered with many candidates gaining full marks. failing to adjust, or adjusting incorrectly, for opening and closing inventories failing to calculate value, as well as quantity, for the purchases budget Page 26

27 Question 4(d) Variance analysis presents results after the actual events have taken place and therefore it is of little use to management for planning and control purposes, particularly in a modern manufacturing environment. Discuss the above statement. (9 marks) 4(d) covers learning outcome B(v): Prepare reports using a range of internal and external benchmarks and interpret the results. Describe the concepts of planning and control in the context of standard setting and variance analysis Describe the features of modern manufacturing environments Discuss the relevance of variance analysis in relation to the above concepts and environment Planning and control concepts 2 Features of modern manufacturing environments 2 Relevance of variance analysis (up to 1½ for each) max 6 max 9 This part was often not answered well because many candidates made little or no reference to a modern manufacturing environment. taking the view that the statement was incorrect and simply describing the advantages of variance analysis for planning and control purposes referring only to a rapidly changing environment and standards becoming rapidly out of date Page 27
