Solved Scanner Appendix IPCC Gr. I (Solution of May - 2015 ) Paper - 3A : Cost Accounting Chapter - 1: Basic Concepts 2015 - May [5] (a) Sunk Cost: Sunk costs are historical costs incurred in the past are known as Sunk Costs. They play no role in decision making during the current period. Sunk Costs are independent of any event that may occur in the future. e.g. in case of a decision related to the replacement of a machine, the written down value of the existing machine is a sunk cost and therefore, not considered. Opportunity Cost: This cost refers to the value of sacrifice made or benefit of opportunity foregone in accepting an alternative course of action. Eg. the opportunity cost of going to college is the money you would have earned if you worked instead, on the one hand, you lose four years of salary while getting your degree, on other hand, you hope to earn more during your career, thanks to your education to offset the lost wages. 2015 - May [7] (a) Cost Centre: It is defined as a location, person, or an item of equipment (or group of these) for which cost may be ascertained and used for the purpose of cost control. It is a part of an organization that does not produce direct profits and adds to the cost of running a company. Eg. R&D, marketing departments, help desk and customer services. Cost Centre are of two types: 1
Solved Scanner Appendix IPCC Gr. I Paper - 3 2 (i) Personal (ii) Impersonal A personal cost centre consists of a person and an impersonal Cost Centre of a location or item of equipment. In a manufacturing concern there are two main types of cost centre, as below: 1. Production Cost Centre: It is cost centre where raw material is handled for conversion into finished product. Here both direct & indirect expenses are incurred. Machine shops, welding shops and assembly shops are examples of production Cost Centre. 2. Service Cost Centre: It is Cost Centre which serves as an ancillary unit to a production cost centre. Power house, gas production shop, material service centres, and plant maintenance centres are examples of service Cost Centre. 3. Profit Centre: Centres, which have the responsibility of generating and maximizing profits are called profit centres. The profit centre s revenues and expenses are kept separate from the main company s profit in order to maintain the profit centre s profitability. 4. Investment Centres: Investment centres are similar to profit centres but they have additional decision rights in terms of capital expenditure & investment. The manager is assumed to have better knowledge of input & output markets but also investment opportunities.

So = 20 0.8 = 16 Machine hour rate = ` 16 Chapter - 5: Integrated & Non-Integrated Accounts 2015 - May [7] (b) Benefits of Integrated Accounting: Since there is one set of accounts, thus there is one figure of profit. Hence, the question of reconciliation of cost profit and financial profit does not arise. Efforts in duplicate recording of entries and to maintain separate set of books are saved. Thus, there is saving of time & labour. The operation of the system is facilitated with the use of mechanized accounting. Costing data are available from books of original entry and hence, no day is caused in obtaining information. Combination of two sets of books and centralization of accounting function results in economy. Complete analysis of cost and sales is kept. Complete details of all receipts and payments in cash are kept. Complete details of all assets and liabilities are kept and this system does not use notional account to represent impersonal accounts.
Solved Scanner Appendix IPCC Gr. I Paper - 3 4 Since financial books are subject to a rigorous accuracy, checking integrated accounts ensures similar checks for cost account. Chapter - 8: Contract Costing 2015 - May [5] (b) Escalation Clause: This clause is often provided in contracts to cover any likely changes in the prize or utilization of materials and labour. Thus, a contractor is entitled to suitably enhance the contract price the cost raises beyond a given percentage. The object of this clause is to safeguard the interest of the contractor against unfavorable changes in cost. The escalation clause is of particular importance where prices of material and labour are anticipated to increase or where quantity of material and labour time cannot be accurately estimated.

It helps to attain a large market share. It gains leadership in the market in terms of products & technology. It promotes employee welfare. It helps to increase customer satisfaction. In against of Wealth Maximization It is prescriptive idea. it is not necessarily socially desirable. There is some controversy as to whether the objective is to maximize stakeholders wealth or the wealth of the firm which includes other financial claims holders such as debenture holders, preference shareholders etc. The objective of wealth maximization may also difficulties when ownership and management are separated as is the case in most of the large corporate form of organizations. Chapter - 2: Time Value of Money 2015 - May [7] (e) Present Value: The present value of a sum of money to be received at a future date is determined by discounting the future value at the interest rate that the money could earn over the period. This process is known as discounting. P O = or P O = Fun (1 + i) -n Where, Fun = Future value n years hence i = Rate of interest per annum n = Number of years for which discounting is done.

Solved Scanner Appendix IPCC Gr. I Paper - 3 19 Chapter - 10: Treasury & Cash Management 2015 - May [5] (d) Miller-Orr Cash Management model: According to this model, the net cash flow is completely stochastic. When changes in cash balance occur randomly the application of control theory serves a useful purpose. The miller-orr model is one of such control limit models. This model is designed to determine the time & size of transfers between an investment account and cash account. In this model, limits are set for cash balances. These limits may consists of h as upper limit, z as the return point and zero as lower limit. When cash balance reaches the upper limit the transfer of cash equal to h, is invested in marketable securities account. When it touches the lower limit, a transfer from marketable securities account to cash account is made. During the period when cash balance says between h and o i.e. high and low limits of cash balance are set up on the basis of fixed cost associated with the securities transaction, the opportunity cost of holding cash and degree of likely fluctuations in cash balance. This limits satisfy the demands for cash at the lower possible total costs. Theory: This model operates as under: (a) Cash outflows are not uniform during the year. (b) Upper and lower limits can be fixed for cash balances, as outflows do not exceed a certain limit on any day. These limits are determined based on fixed transaction costs, interest foregone on marketable securities and degree of likely fluctuations in cash balances. (c) When cash balance reaches the upper limit, Surplus cash is invested in marketable securities, to bring down the cash balance to the average limit or return point. (d) When cash balance touches the lower limit, investments are disposed off so that cash balances goes upto the average limit or return point. (e) During the period when cash balance stays between high & low limits, there are no transactions between cash & marketable securities. Formula: R =

Factoring: Factoring refers to the giving the bill to other as a security that money is payable on due date. The organization can get finance by factoring bill from the parties. Bill discounting: Bill discounting refers to the bill given to the bank & bank than gives the finance of that bill. This is used where there is urgent need of funds.
