Answer of the Question No. 04(b):

1. Although the note payable to Prime Bank is due in 30 days, it is classified as a long term liability as it will be refinanced on a long term basis.

2. The pending lawsuit is a loss contingency requiring disclosure, but it is not listed in the liability section of the balance sheet.

3. The BDT 70,870 of the mortgage note that will be repaid within the next 12 months (BDT 240,864-BDT 169,994) is a current liability; the remaining balance, due after December 31, 2008, is a long term debt.

4. Although the bonds payable mature in seven months, they will be repaid from a sinking fund, rather then from current assets therefore, these bonds retain their long term classification.

Answer to the Question No. 2(b) : (i) Computation of economic order quantity (EOQ)

D =Annual requirement = 54,000 castings C = Cost per casting = Tk. 800 Co = Ordering cost = Tk. 9,000 per order Cc = Carrying cost per casting p.a = Tk.300

EOQ =

= 1,800 casting (ii) Safety stock (Assuming a 15% risk of being out of stock) Safety stock for one day = 54,000/360 days = 150 castings Re-order point = Minimum stock level + Average lead time × Average consumption = 150 + 6 × 150 = 1,050 castings. (iii) Total cost of ordering = (54,000 / 1,800) × Tk. 9,000 = Tk.2,70,000 Total cost of carrying = (450 + ½ × 1,800) xTk.300

= Tk. 4,05,000 (iv) (A) Computation of new EOQ:

= 300 castings (v) (B) Total number of orders to be placed in a year are 180. Each order is to be placed after 2 days

(1 year = 360 days). Under old purchasing policy each order is placed after 12 days. Answer to the Question No. 3

(a) A volume-based cost driver is a cost driver that reflects some measure of production volume, either production output (i.e. units produced) or production input (i.e. direct labour hours or machine hours). Conventional costing systems assume that manufacturing overhead costs are related to the volume of production, usually measured by input measures such as direct labour hours. Thus, this approach assumes that the more direct labour hours worked on a product, the greater its consumption of overhead resources. Yet, in a modern business environment, many manufacturing overhead costs may not behave in this way. A significant part of the overhead costs are likely to be driven by factors other than production volume. For example, some of the overhead costs, like setup costs, are incurred for each production batch regardless of the number of units in the batch. Others, like factory rent, are incurred each month regardless of the number of units produced. Still others are incurred because of overall production complexity. Products that are difficult to make tend to use more overhead resources than those that are simple to make. Where non-volume based costs are significant, a conventional costing approach will result in distorted product costs.

(b) (i) The regression equation’s intercept on the vertical axis is $200. It represents the portion of indirect

materials cost that does not vary with machine hours, when operating within the relevant range. The slope of the regression line is $4 per machine hour. For every machine hour, $4 of indirect material costs is expected to be incurred.

Page 20: Cma August 2013 Solution

Page 4 of 5

(ii) Estimated cost of indirect material at 900 machine hours of activity:

S = $200 + ($4 × 900) = $3 800

(iii) Several questions should be asked: (a) Do the observations contain any outliers, or are they all representative of normal operations? (b) Are there any mismatched time periods in the data? Are all of the indirect material cost observations

matched properly with the machine hour observations? (c) Are there any allocated costs included in the indirect material cost data? (d) Are the cost data affected by inflation?

(iv) The choice of cost driver should reflect the nature of the production process. Other cost drivers could include direct labour hours or direct labour cost if the production process is labour intensive and the consumption of indirect materials is related to labour activities. Alternative the number of units produced could be a suitable cost driver, if each unit uses much the same amount/cost of indirect material.

Answer to the Question No. 4.

(i) & (ii) Full cost and manufacturing cost, per unit, for Switch 3901:

Activity Full cost Manufacturing cost Prepare purchase order $2,150 - Process payables 1,350 - Prepare payroll 3,000 - Process sales orders 16,500 - Pack and dispatch 8,500 - Program solder robots 30,600 30,600 Solder circuits 144,000 144,000 Assemble circuit boards 75,000 75,000 Wire in switch 70,000 70,000 Insert fuse 50,000 50,000 Test switch 20,000 20,000 Design switch 5,000 - Total annual cost $426,100 $389,600

Full cost per switch: $85.22 activity cost + $20 direct material = $105.22 Manufacturing cost per switch: $77.92 activity cost + $20 direct material = $97.92

(iii) The non-manufacturing costs are part of the cost of producing and selling Switch 3901. It is important the management considers these costs, as well as the manufacturing costs, when assessing the profitability of Switch 3901 and, therefore, when making decisions such as product mix, outsourcing and pricing.

THE INSTITUTE OF COST AND MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTANTS OF BANGLADESH CMA AUGUST 2013, EXAMINATION

PROFESSIONAL LEVEL-II SUBJECT: 202. MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING

Model Solution

Answer to the Question No. 1(b).

(a) In designing management accounting systems, care must be taken that the benefit to management of having certain types or levels of information is greater than the cost of obtaining and using the information. In designing regular management accounting reports or a specific adhoc report, information should be included on a cost-effective basis. While it can be relatively straightforward to measure the costs of producing and using management accounting information, it can be more challenging to estimate the benefits that managers derive from having access to information. Ultimately, the management accountant must use his/her judgment in assessing whether the benefits exceed the costs and, therefore, the information should be produced.

(b) (i) Estimates of the cost of lost merchandise due to shoplifting and the cost of employing security personnel would be relevant to this decision.

(ii) Building-cost estimates for the library extension, as well as estimated benefits to the population from having the addition, would be useful. In estimating the benefits, some value judgements may need to be made about the benefits to the public from having additional library space and more books.

(iii) Estimates of the acquisition costs and any operating costs associated with the proposed luxury cars would be relevant. For example, estimates of the cost of petrol, routine maintenance and insurance on the new vehicles would be useful.

(iv) Weekly or biweekly data about the cost of maintaining the machine would be relevant. In addition, the production manager should consider historical information of repairs needed and the likely rates of breakdown under each maintenance alternative.

(c) The four types of benchmarking and their limitations are as follows:

(i) Internal benchmarking involves benchmarking between units of the same company. This is the simplest form of benchmarking to use, as it is relatively easy to gain access to other areas of the one organisation. However, internal benchmarking partners may not provide the best benchmarks as they may not be the best performers in certain areas. Also, they may be operating in dissimilar markets and industries, so processes and measures may not be directly comparable.

(ii) Competitive benchmarking involves a company identifying the strengths and weaknesses of competitors to assist them to prioritise areas for improvement. While the objective may be to equal or exceed the competitors’ performance, formal benchmarking processes may be difficult to arrange with direct competitors.

(iii) Industry benchmarking is broader than competitive benchmarking as it involves comparing a business against all other businesses that have similar interests and technologies, to identify performance and trends within an industry. Where these are relatively common to all firms in the industry, this can be a very valuable form of benchmarking, but as industries become more globalised and directly compete in the same markets, opportunities for benchmarking of this nature are likely to diminish.

(iv) Best-in-class or process benchmarking. This involves benchmarking against the best practices which may occur in any industry. The difficulty with this approach is that many characteristics of best practice businesses may not be common to other industries.

Answer to the Question No. 2

(a) This comment is occasionally heard from people who are experienced managers who have run their own small business for a long period of time. These individuals may have great knowledge about their business and may be able to manage effectively without the assistance of formal systems, such as budgets. They may feel they do not need to spend a great deal of time on the budgeting process, because they can essentially run the business by gut feeling. This approach can result in several problems. First, if the person who is running the business is absent or leaves the business, there are no formal plans or budgets which may assist new managers to run the business. Second, budgeting can assist in the effective running of an organisation. Budgets facilitate communication and co-ordination, are useful in resource allocation and help in evaluating performance and providing incentives to employees. It is difficult to achieve these benefits without a budgeting process.

The amount of loss can be reduced by (23,500 – 10,000) i.e. 13,500 if the factory continuous to operate. Further in the second year the estimated profit is 10,250. Therefore, closing down is not desirable.

Variable Cost for 40% = Tk. 16,200 × 2 = Tk. 32,400 Fixed Cost (Tk. 51,400 – Tk. 32,400) = Tk. 19,000. Variable Cost for 50% = VC for 40% + VC for 10% = 32,400 + 8,100 = Tk. 40,500.

(ii) 75% operations: 80% Tk. 83,800 60% Tk. 67,600 20% Tk. 16,200 For 15% Tk. 12,150

VC at 60% = 16,200 × 3 = Tk. 48,600. Fixed Cost = (67,600 – 48,600) = Tk. 19,000. VC for 75% = VC for 60% + VC for 15% = Tk. 48,600 + Tk. 12,150 = Tk. 60,750

Answer to the Question No. 3

(a) The new budget system allows the managers to focus on those areas that need attention. By dividing the annual budget into 12 equal parts, managers can take corrective action before the error is compounded (frequent feedback is provided). Also, the company has segregated costs into fixed and variable components, an essential step for good control. A major weakness of the budget is the failure to properly define responsibility. Because of this, supervisors are being held accountable for areas over which they have no control.

(b) The performance report should emphasize those items over which the manager has control. The report should also compare actual costs with budgeted costs for the actual level of activity. Currently, the report is attempting to compare costs at two different levels: the original budget for 3000 units with the actual costs for production of 3185 units. A flexible budgeting system needs to be employed.

(c) Berwin, Inc. Machining Department Performance Report

For the Month Ended May 31, 2008 Flexible Budget* Actual Variance Volume in units 3185 3185 0 Variable manufacturing costs: Direct materials $ 25 480 $ 24 843 $637 F Direct labour 29 461 29 302 159F Variable overhead 35 354 35 035 319 F Total variable costs $ 90 295 $ 89 180 $1,115 F Fixed manufacturing costs: Indirect labour $ 3300 $ 3334 34 U Depreciation 1500 1500 0 Taxes 300 300 0 Insurance 240 240 0 Other 930 1027 97 U Total fixed costs $ 6270 $ 6401 $131 U Total costs $ 96 565 $ 95 581 $984 F

*For the variable costs: 3185 × $24 000/3000; 3185 × $27 750/3000; 3185 × $33 300/3000

(d) Berwin’s budgetary system could also be improved by offering monetary and nonmonetary incentives to reach budget goals. The managers and supervisors should be allowed and encouraged to participate in the budgetary process because they will be responsible for controlling the budget. The accountant needs to be certain that the budget objectives are based on realistic conditions and expectations. The managers should be held accountable only for costs over which they have control.

Answer to the Question No. 5(a)

Variable product costs are particularly useful for short-term decisions, such as whether to make or buy a component, and pricing – especially when variable selling and administrative costs are included. The fixed costs will be incurred anyway, and in the short term they should be disregarded. In making these decisions, the variable costs provide a good measure of the differential costs that need to be assessed. We discuss the information needed for short-term decision making in Chapter 19.

Under variable costing, profit is a function of sales. The classification of costs, as fixed or variable, makes it simple to project the effects that changes in sales have on profit. Managers find this useful for decision making. Also, cost volume profit analysis (which we discuss in Chapter 18) requires a variable costing format. Planned costs must take account of cost behaviour if they are to provide a reliable basis for control. In addition, the link between sales and profit performance, under variable costing, ensures a performance measure that managers understand easily. Fixed costs are an important part of the costs of a business, especially in the modern manufacturing environment. Variable costing provides a useful perspective of the impact that fixed costs have on profits by bringing them together and highlighting them, instead of having them scattered throughout the statement. Absorption product costs include unitised fixed overhead, which can result in sub-optimal decisions, especially as fixed costs are not differential costs in the short term. However, in the modern business environment, with a high level of fixed overhead, a relatively small percentage of manufacturing costs may be assigned to products under variable costing. Also, in the longer term a business must cover its fixed costs too, and many managers prefer to use absorption cost when they make cost-based pricing decisions. They argue that fixed manufacturing overhead is a necessary cost incurred in the production process. When fixed costs are omitted, the cost of the product is understated. (b) (i)

Cost per unit Variable Absorption Direct material $9.00 $9.00 Direct labour 3.60 3.60 Variable overhead 5.40 5.40 Fixed overhead * - 4.00 $18.00 $22.00

* Fixed overhead = budgeted fixed overhead budgeted level of production

= $600,000 150,000 = $4 per unit

(iii) Difference in reported profits under absorption costing and variable costing = Changes in inventory in units × predetermined fixed overhead rate per unit

= 25,000 units × $4 per unit = $100,000 As shown in requirement (ii), reported profit under variable costing is $100,000 lower than absorption costing.

* The second step would be to check if total external revenue attributable to reportable segments constitutes at least 75% of the total consolidated or entity revenue of $ 13,613,000.

* As all operating segments qualify as reportable segments, the external revenue requirement of 75% is met.

* If that had not been the case, IFRS-8 would have required that additional operating segments be identified as reportable even they do not meet the 10% thresholds in step one.

Factory O/H : (6000 x 3/4 x 9.34) Tk. 42,030 Tk. 1,00,080 Solution to Question No. 2(b): Required: (i) Finishing is a bottleneck operation. Therefore, producing 1,000 more units will generate

additional throughput contribution and operating income. Increase in throughput contribution (720 – 320) x 1,000 Tk. 4,00,000 Incremental costs of Jigs and Tools Tk. 3,00,000 Net benefit of investing in Jigs and Tools Tk. 1,00,000

Ottobi should invest in the modern Jigs and tools because the benefit of higher throughput contribution Tk. 4,00,000 exceeds the cost of Tk. 3,00,000.

(ii) The Machining Department has excess capacity and is not a bottleneck operation.

Increasing its capacity further will not increase throughput contribution. Therefore no benefit from spending Tk. 50,000 to increase the Machining Department’s capacity by 10,00 units. Ottobi should not implement the change to do setups faster.

(iii) Finishing is a bottleneck operation. Therefore getting an outside contractor to produce

12,000 units will increase contribution: Increase contribution (720 – 320) x 12,000 Tk. 48,00,000 Incremental contracting cost 12,00,000 Net benefit Tk. 36,00,000

Ottobi should contract with an outside contractor to do 12,000 units for finishing at Tk. 100 per unit because the benefit of higher throughput contribution of Tk. 48,00,000 exceeds the cost of Tk. 12,00,000. The fact that the cost of Tk. 100 per unit is double Ottobi’s finishing cost of Tk. 50 per unit is irrelevant.

(iv) Operating costs in the Machining Department of Tk. 64,00,000 or Tk. 80 per unit, are fixed

costs. Ottobi will not save any of these cost by subcontracting machining of 4,000 units to Mumbai Corporation. Total cost will be greater by Tk. 1,60,000 (Tk. 40 x 4,000) under the subcontracting alternative. Machining more filling cabinets will not increase throughput contribution, which is constraints by the finishing capacity. Ottobi should not accept Mumbai’s offer. The fact that Mumbai Corporation’s cost of Machining per unit are half of what is costs Ottobi in house is irrelevant.

Solution Question No. 1.

MN Ltd. Required-(a): Determination of β for each project. [ j Corjm ÷ m] Project (j) SD( ) Correlation with market (Corjm) SD( m) Beta (β)

or (20 x .75)/13 = 1.15 Return of the project by applying CAPM [Kef + (Km – Krf) β]

Project – 1. 5% + (14% - 5%) x .63 = 10.67% 2. 5% + (14% - 5%) x 1.15 = 15.35% 3. 5% + (14% - 5%) x .90 = 13.10% 4. 5% + (14% - 5%) x .86 = 12.74%

Return of the combined projects representing MN Ltd.’s total return Expected return* = (10%x.28)+(18%x.17)+(15%x.31)+(13%x.24) = 13.63% Return as per CAPM = (10.67%x.28)+(15.35 x.17)+(13.10x.31)+(12.74%x.24) = 12.72% * MN Ltd. Share price is currently based on assumption that the last five year’s experience

of returns will continue for the foreseeable future. The Shares are over valued because the return as per CAPM is less than the expected return. Required-(b): For the following reasons the results in (or) above might not correctly identify whether or not the share price of MN Ltd. is under valued or over valued. (i) The above required returns of the four projects are determined by applying Capital Asset

Pricing Model. CAPM is based on some unrealistic assumptions which are not always valid in the real world.

(ii) Beta is not always able to measure the risk of an investment and that the above there is significant correlation between beta and the expected return. Sometime, the empirical result gives a mixed result.

(iii) Most of the time beta is based on historical data due to unavailability of future data. (iv) Investor can use historical beta as the measure of future risk only if it is stable over time.

But in practice, the betas of individual securities are not stable over time. This implies that historical betas are poor indicator of the future risk of securities.

1. Retain Cash Three reasons or motives have been advanced for individuals and companies to hold cash –transaction, speculative and precautionary. Each is commented on briefly below:

Page 56: Cma August 2013 Solution

Page 4 of 8

• The transaction reason –if SRP has sufficient cash to meet day to day transactions it has no need of additional cash for this reason.

• The speculative motive would allow the company to take advantage of opportunities such as buying assets at temporarily favourable prices or making an investment. This would be a logical reason for SRP to hold cash even if it has no potential immediate investment opportunities.

• The precautionary motive would allow SRP to maintain a safety cushion or buffer to meet unexpected cash needs. Given the long term nature of SRP’s contracts, its cash flow is fairly predictable so less cash is needed for precautionary needs. However, the surplus cash is approximately equivalent to just one year’s dividend payment and so may not seem to be an excessive cash buffer.

On the downside, shareholders are missing out on the income that they could obtain by investing the funds elsewhere. With 5.3% of total assets held in the form of surplus cash (where 5.3% = Tk 110.4 million/ Tk. 2,075 million x 100%) and therefore earning little or no return, shareholders will prefer to be given the cash back so that they can invest it elsewhere and enhance their returns. However, if SRP thinks investment opportunities might be available in the not too distant future; shareholders may be willing to forego receiving the cash now in the expectation of even greater returns in the future.

2. Share repurchase The advantage to shareholders is that selling shares back to the company allows them to raise cash with no transaction costs. Not all will want to sell, but SRP is only aiming to purchase around 7% of the shares in issue. The make-up of the shareholders is relevant here in terms of the potential success of any repurchase scheme, as institutional investors are far less likely to participate in a share repurchase than smaller scale investors as they tend to be more concerned with regular income. However, 30% of the shares are held by small investors who might welcome the chance to realise their investment. The advantage to the company in the long term is an opportunity to increase DpS at the same total level of dividend payment or, alternatively, keep DpS at the same level and reduce total dividend payments, retaining cash for future investment. EpS will similarly increase due to the lower number of shares. Shareholder wealth should not be affected, their share holding will be worth less (reflecting fewer shares) but they are now holding additional cash. If this cash can be invested profitably, this should lead to an increase in shareholder wealth in the medium term. However, there is an almost inevitable trade-off between risk and reward here. The riskiness of the equity will increase due to the higher gearing levels. Gearing will increase from 26.7% to 33.3% based on book values. The share repurchase is unlikely to have much effect on the overall cost of capital as the increased use of lower cost debt is likely to be offset by higher returns required on equity. The tax benefit of debt is not relevant as there is no impact on gross debt here. On a practical note, the company’s articles of association must be checked to ensure they permit a share repurchase.

3. Bonuses to directors and employees The payment of bonuses reduces shareholder wealth (and reserves) by the amount paid out. It is of little benefit to shareholders unless it leads to the retention of key employees or leads to higher profits as a result of more highly motivated staff in the future. In either

Page 57: Cma August 2013 Solution

Page 5 of 8

case, a long term bonus plan is likely to be of more benefit to the company than large one-off payments at this time. The directors’ bonuses need to be referred to a remuneration committee before amounts are determined. Indeed, director bonuses need also to be approved by shareholders, something that is not always guaranteed, as has been seen in the UK in the recent past. Gearing would increase to 33.3% (based on book values and using 31 March 2013 figures) due to an increase in net debt and a decrease in reserves –the same effect as for under the share repurchase. But for a manufacturing company with substantial assets this is still a modest rate. SRP should consider amending its gearing objective from 30% to, say, 35%.

Answer to the Question No. 4 4(a) A break point will occur each time a low –cost type of capital is used up. We establish the break points as follows after first noting that LEI has Tk. 24,000 of Retained Earnings:

Retained earnings = (Total earnings)(1-payout) = Tk. 34,285.72 x 0.7 Breaking point =

Capital Used Up Break Point Calculation Breaking Number Retained Earnings BPRE = = Tk. 40,000 2

10% floatation common BP10%E = = Tk. 60,000 4

5% floatation preferred BP5%P = = Tk. 50,000 3

12% Debt BP12%D = = Tk. 20,000 1

14% Debt BP14%D = = Tk. 40,000 2

Summary of Break Points

(1) There are three common equity costs and hence two changes and, therefore, two-equity-induced breaks in the MCC. There are two preferred costs and hence one preferred break. There are three debt costs and hence two debt breaks.

(2) The number in the third column of the table designate the sequential order of the breaks, determined after all the break points were calculated. Note that the second debt break and the break for retained earnings both occur at Tk. 40,000

(3) The first break point occurs at Tk. 20,000, when the 12% debt is used up. The second break point, Tk. 40,000, results from using up both retained earnings and the 14% debt. The MCC curve also rises at Tk. 50,000 and Tk. 60,000 as preferred stock with a 5% flotation cost and a common stock with a 10% floatation cost, respectively are used up.

4(b) Common costs within indicated total capital intervals are as follows: Retained Earnings (used in interval Tk. 0 to Tk. 40,000):

ks = + g = = + 0.09 = 0.0654 + 0.09 = 15.54% Common with F = 10%( Tk. 40,0001 to Tk. 60,000) : ke = + g = + 9% = 16.27%

Common with F = 20%( Over Tk.60,000) :

Page 58: Cma August 2013 Solution

Page 6 of 8

ke = + 9% = 17.18%

Preferred with F = 5%( Tk. 0 to Tk. 50,000) : kp = + g = = 11.58%

Preferred with F = 10%( Over Tk. 50,000) : kp = = 12.22%

Debt at kd = 12%(Tk.0 to Tk. 20,0000) kdt = kd(1-T) = 12%(0.6) = 7.20% Debt at kd = 14%(Tk. 20,001 to Tk. 40,0000) kdt = kd(1-T) = 14%(0.6) = 8.40% Debt at kd = 16%(over Tk. 40,0000) kdt = kd(1-T) = 16%(0.6) = 9.60%

4(c) WACC calculations within indicated total capital intervals: (1) Tk 0 to Tk. 20,000 (debt = 7.2%, preferred = 11.58% and retained

earnings = 15.54%) WACC1 = Wd kdt + Wp kp + Ws ks

= 0.25(7.2%) + 0.15(11.58%) + 0.60(15.54%) = 12.86%

(2) Tk 20,001 to Tk. 40,000 (debt = 8.4%, preferred = 11.58% and

retained earnings = 15.54%) WACC2 = 0.25(8.4%) + 0.15(11.58%) + 0.60(15.54%) = 13.16%

(3) Tk 40,001 to Tk. 50,000 (debt = 9.6%, preferred = 11.58% and equity = 16.27%) WACC3 = 0.25(9.6%) + 0.15(11.58%) + 0.60(16.27%) = 13.90%

(4) Tk 50,001 to Tk. 60,000 (debt = 9.6%, preferred = 12.22% and equity = 16.27%) WACC4 = 0.25(9.6%) + 0.15(12.22%) + 0.60(16.27%) = 14.000%

(5) Over Tk. 60,000 (debt = 9.6%, preferred = 12.22% and equity = 17.18%) WACC5 = 0.25(9.6%) + 0.15(11.58%) + 0.60(17.18%) = 14.54%

4(e) LEI should accept Projects B, E and C. It should reject Projects A and D because their IRRs do not exceed the marginal costs of funds needed to finance them. The firm’s capital budget would be total Tk. 40,000. Answer to the Question No. 5 5(1)

=

2.5 = CL = CA Working capital = CA-CL = 1,56,000

Or 2.5 CL-CL = 1,56,000

Or CL = = 1,04,000

CA = 2.5 CL = 1,04,000 x 2.5 = 2,60,000

Or = 1.5

Or Quick Assets = 1.5 x 80,000 = 1,20,000

Closing Stock = CA – Quick Assets = 2,60,000 – 1,20,000 = 1,40,000

Opening stock = x 1,40,000 = 1,12,000

(as closing stock is 25% higher than opening stock)

Av stock = = 1,26,000

Cost of sales = Av. Stock x stock velocity = 5 x 1,26,0000 = 6,30,0000

Gross profit = 20% of sales i.e. 25% of cost of sales = 25% of 6,30,0000 = 1,57,500

Sales = cost of sales + gross profit = 6,30,000 + 1,57,500 = 7,87,5000

Net profit = 10% of 7,87,500 = 78,750 Debtors velocity = 1 month

Propriety Ratio = = 0.6 i.e.

Equity = = 3,90,0000

Fixed Assets = 3,90,0000 x 0.6 = 2,34,000 Cash at Bank = Quick Assets – Debtors

PROFESSIONAL LEVEL – IV SUBJECT: 402.STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING

Solutions to the questions

Solution to Question No. 1. (a) No, not all fixed costs are sunk- only those for which the cost has already been irrevocably incurred.

A variable cost can be a sunk cost, if it has already been incurred. (b) No, a variable cost is a cost that varies in total amount in direct proportion to changes in the level of

activity. A differential cost measures the difference in cost between two alternatives. If the level of activity is the same for the two alternatives, a variable cost will be unaffected and will be irrelevant.

(c) Test for optimality: number of allocation = m+n-1 where there are m rows and n columns. The allocations are independent i.e. if no loop can be formed by them. Here, No. of factories + No. of destination + dummy-1 = m+n+1 - 1 = 3+4+1 -1 = 7. Hence, there should be exactly 7 allocations.

Solution to Question No. 2(a).

(i) The transfer price of Tk.750 proposed by the IT division is based on cost plus 150% from which it

can be deducted that the total cost of a consulting day is (100/250) x Tk.750 = Tk. 300. This comprises Tk.240 (80%) variable cost and Tk.60 (20%) fixed cost. In this instance the transfer price should be set at marginal costs plus opportunity cist. It is assumed in this situation that transferring internally would result in the IT division having a lost contribution of Tk.750 – Tk.240 = Tk.510 per consulting day. The marginal cost of the transfer of services to the HR division is Tk.190 (Tk.240 external variable cost less Tk50 saving due to use of internal video-conferencing equipment). Adding the opportunity cost of Tk.510 gives a transfer price of Tk.700 per consulting day. This is equivalent to using market price as a basis for transfer pricing where the transfer price is set at the external market price (Tk.750) less any costs avoided (Tk50) by transferring internally.

(ii) There is in effect on external market available for one of the required pairs of consultants within the IT division and therefore opportunity cost will not apply and transfers should be made at the variable cost per consulting day of Tk.190. The other pair of consultants, who would be 100% utilized in providing consulting services to external clients, should be charged at a rate of Tk.700 per day which represents marginal cost plus opportunity cost.

(iii) The lost contribution from the major client amounts to Tk.2,64,000/(2x240) =Tk.550 less variable costs of Tk.240 = Tk.310 per consulting day. Thus, in this instance the transfer price should be the contribution foregone of Tk310 plus internal variable costs of Tk.190 making total of Tk.500 per consulting day.

Solution to Question No. 2(b). Negotiated transfer prices suffer from the following limitations: - The transfer price which is the final outcome of negotiations may not be close to the transfer price

that would be optimal for the organization as a whole since it can be dependent on the negotiating skills and bargaining power of individual managers.

- They can lead to conflict between divisions which may necessitate the intervention of top management to mediate.

- The measure of divisional profitability can be dependent on the negotiating skills of managers who may have unequal bargaining power.

- They can be time-consuming for the managers involved, particularly where large numbers of transactions are involved.

Solution to Question No. 3(a) In traditional cost systems, product-level costs are indiscriminately spread across all products using direct labor-hours or some other allocation base that is tied to volume. As a consequence, high-volume product are designed the bulk of such costs. If a product is responsible for 40% of the direct labor in a factory, it will be assigned 40% of the manufacturing overhead cost in the factory- including 40% of the product level costs of low-volume products. In an activity based costing, batch level and product level costs assigned are more appropriate. This results in shifting product-level costs back to the products that cause them and away from the high-volume products. (A similar effect will be observed with batch-level costs if high-volume products are produced in larger batches than low volume products).

Solution to Question No. 4(a). Evaluation of managerial performance should include all elements in the division that management can control. The degree of autonomy enjoyed by a division will determine the control that managers maintain over pricing investment and other factors that affect profit.

(i) Contribution:

The division has contributed BDT 119,000 to the central costs and profit of the Group, but this is below the budget. The responsibility of management for this deficit depends on the influence that divisional managers can exercise over Sales, marketing and costs and whether the budget used as a yardstick was attainable in realistic terms. Contribution does not take into account the assets under the control of divisional management and cannot comment on the return on investment needed to earn that return. Management of Chocolaty division could increase the contribution by the wasteful investment of group funds at returns below the cost of capital without suffering any penalty if this method were used to evaluate their performance.

(ii) Net Income

This measure of performance shows only a small net profit for the division. As a performance evaluator it fails to set return against investment and also includes, head office charges, which are outside the control of divisional management.

(iii) Return on investment

Net Income 12x BDT 19000

—————— = ———————- = 80%

Investment Rs. 2850000

Compared to the cost of capital 15% this return is not good. However for evaluation of managerial performance centrally administered assets and allocated head office costs should not be included in the analysis. Therefore the figures could be.

Rs. 119000 x 12

———————— = 51%

Rs. 2780000

The measurement of profit and investment may be made in ways that lead to unreliable conclusions from ROI. e.g. historic costs of assets against current cost revenue. Decisions that maximize ROI may not necessarily be best for the group as a whole.

(iv) Residual Income

Residual Income is the income remaining after deducting a charge for the use of funds invested in the decisions based on the cost of capital.

Net Profit BDT. 19,000

Investment charge BDT. 35,625 BDT. 2850000 x 0.15

Residual Income BDT. (16625) 12

Management are not making sufficient return to service group funds allocated to the division at the group cost of capital. However, if head office expenses and centrally administered assets are excluded, a divisional residual income can be calculated relating to factors that divisional managers can influence.

Solution to Question No. 4(b)

Managerial performance can be evaluated by using absolute measures of “contribution” or “net income” or by using relative measures of “ROI (return on investment” or “return on equity (ROE)” or “return on capital employed (ROCA)”. However, economic performance is evaluated by using “RI (residual income)”. Managerial performance is worse than budget using “contribution” and “net income”. ROI is even worse in comparison to cost of capital. But economic performance is to some extent good on the basis of divisional traceable assets.

Solution to Question No. 5(a) No, of the profitability index is less than 1.00, then the net present value of the project is negative, indicating that it does not provide the required minimum rate of return. So, profitability index less than 1.00 be an unacceptable investment. Solution to Question No. 5(b) (i) Calculate of expected net present value:

Sales volume = 3,200 units. Tk. Sales revenue per unit 2,500 Variable costs per unit 1,640 Contribution per unit 860 Total contribution = (3,200 x 860) = Tk. 27,52,000 – fixed overheads Tk.9,00,000 = Tk.18,52,000 less taxation (at 30%) Tk. 5,55,600 = Tk.12,96,400 Net present value at a discount rate of 11% per annum = (Tk.12,86,400 x 4.231) – (Tk.50,00,000 x 50%) = Tk.29,85,068. The project should be undertaken by the directors of ITL. Note: - Variable cost per unit = Tk.1,490 + Royalty Tk.150 = Tk.1,640 - Tk.2,00,000 already spent on market research is a sunk cost and therefore not included in

the calculation of the expected net present value of the Snowballer proposal. - A real discount rate of 11% has been used. It has been calculated as follows: ((1 + nominal

cost of capital)/(1 + rate of inflation)) – 1 = 1.1544/(1+0.04) = 1.11 – 1 = 0.11 or 11%. (ii) The level of annual contribution at which NPV will be equal to zero can be calculated using the

formula (1 – t) 4.231 x – initial investment – fixed overheads (1 – t) 4.231 = 0, where t is the rate of corporate tax and x = annual contribution. This gives: (1 – 0.30) 4.231x – Tk.25,00,000 – (9,00,000 (t – 0.30)4.231) = 2.9617x = Tk.25,00,000 + 26,65,530 x = Tk.17,44,110

This shows the annual contribution can decline from the existing level of Tk.27,52,000 to Tk.17,44,110. This represents a percentage decrease of 36.62% (10,07,890/27,52,000) x 100%. The 4.231 in the above formula represents the cumulative discount factor for six years at a rate of 11% per annum. Tk.25,00,000 represents the investment outlay net of the government grant.

(iii) The life cycle of the Snowballer: Tk.

NPV of year 1 net cash flow = Tk. 12,96,400 x 0.901 = 11,68,056 NPV of year 2 net cash flow = Tk. 12,96,400 x 0.812 = 10,52,677 Total for year 1 and 2 22,20,733 Investment outlay (net) 25,00,000 NPV required in year 3 in order to achieve a zero NPV 2,79,267 However, if fixed overheads are incurred in year 3 irrespective of the sales life of the Snowballer then discounted fixed costs amounting to Tk.4,60,530 (Tk.9,00,000 x 0.7 x 0.731) would be incurred. Hence discounted contribution required in order to achieve a zero NPV would amount to Tk.2,79,267 + Tk.4,60,530 = Tk.7,39,797. The total discounted contribution for the whole of year 3 amounts to Tk.27,52,000 x 70% x 0.731 = Tk.14,08,198. Hence the reduction in year 3 life allowable in year 3 = (14,08,198 – 7,39,797) / 14,08,198 = 47.46% (say 47% approximately). So the life cycle required during year 3 = 53% or (0.53 of the year). This means that 2 + 0.53 = 2.53 years are required to produce an overall NPV = 0. Hence the fall in the life cycle of the project (for an overall NPV = 0) = 6 – 2.53 = 3.47 years or 3.47/6 = 57.8 (which is the sensitivity measure).

(iv) Factors that should be considered by the directors of ITL include:

- The cash flows are estimated. How accurate they are requires detailed consideration. - The cost of capital used by the finance director might be inappropriate. For example if the

Snowballer proposal is less risky than other projects undertaken by ITL than a lower cost of capital be used.

- The rate of inflation may vary from the anticipated rate of 4% per annum. - How strong is the Olympic brand name: The directors are proposing to pay royalties

equivalent to 6% of sales revenue during the six years of the anticipated life of the project. Should they market the Snowballer themselves?

- Would competitors enter the market and what would be the likely effect on sales volumes and selling prices?
