7 Question: 4 Fill in the Blanks 5q x 4 = 20 marks Do five parts to this question. Do not attempt more than 5. I. Some capital appraisal techniques are based on profits generated while others are based on cash flow. Tex Company is examining a project that will generate 1,000 in sales over each of the next three years. Operating cost will be 440 in each year. The initial investment in capital equipment will amount to 900 which will be depreciated at 33.3% over the three years with no residual value. The project will require an initial working capital investment of 100 which will be recovered when the project finishes in three years. Required: prepare a schedule in the format indicated showing the cash flows generated by the project. Project at Tex Co year 1 year 2 year 3 Heading: Sales Outflows: Net cash flow in (out) II Calculate the price and usage variances from the following: tonnes price cost Standard cost Actual cost III The following figures relate to the Carbon Limited' February results: Budgeted profit for month = 450k, Prior year profit = 240k, Actual profit for month = 470k, Profit per the flexed budget based on actual output = 495k, Average Profit per month so far this year = 310k. What is the February Volume variance? IV. If a company purchases material 400 per tonnes when its standard cost is per tonne, its purchase price variance per tonne is. If 7 tonnes of material A are used in the month, what is the price variance on that? Page 7 of 11
8 V. If a company purchases 6 tonnes of material 400 per tonne when its standard cost is per tonne, its purchase price variance on the 6 tonnes is VI. To achieve this month's output Begin Limited required 3452 kilograms of raw material. The standard for the actual output was per kg. What variance does ( ) * 22 = 1650 represent? To achieve this month's output Begin Limited required also 3452 direct labour hours. The standard for the actual output was per hour. ( ) * 22 = 1650 represents what variance? VII. As part of its strategic review, Rose Limited has decided to take a more aggressive approach to pricing. Whereas in the past products have been priced using a contribution margin of 40%, henceforth the contribution margin will be increased to 45%. You have been asked to revise the pricing of the following products. Required: complete the following table Per unit Product Existing price Rose Tint Rose Water New Price Variable cost New Contribution % Page 8 of 11
9 Question 5: Computational - 5 marks The following budget information has been supplied by Leo Ltd. Product X Product Y Sales Volume (Units) 5,000 11,000 Sales price per unit Variable cost per unit Variable Overhead 80, ,000 Apportioned Fixed Overheads: Rent & Insurance 100, ,000 Required: (a) Prepare a statement showing the budgeted profit for each Products X and Y appropriately laid out to enable you to determine if any of the products should be discontinued. (b) State whether either product should be discontinued and why or why not. Question 6 Fill in the blanks - 3q x 5 = 15 marks Do three parts to this question. Do not attempt more than 3. I. If variable costs are 45 per unit and fixed costs are 3,500 per period, predict what production costs will be if 330 units are produced in a period. Complete the missing words in the following definition of a variable cost: Variable cost A cost which, in aggregate, tends to vary in direct proportion to changes in the.. Page 9 of 11
10 II. In 1992 Robert Kaplan & David Norton of Harvard University put forward an idea called the Balanced Scorecard using non-financial measures alongside financial measures while balancing the perspectives of different aspects of business performance. It seeks to link the strategy and vision of the organisation with specific measures and targets in achieving its objectives. The suggested performance measures can be viewed from four perspectives. What are they? Select from table below (circle the four answers; do not guess.) Of the four you have selected, indicate what Kaplan & Norton regard as their cause and effect relationship by placing the number 4 beside the perspective on the objective that are caused by those of the 3rd perspective and 3 beside the perspective that leads from the 2nd, etc. a. Supply Chain Perspective b. Net Present Value Perspective c. Standard Cost Perspective d. Contribution Perspective e. Financial Perspective f. Stock Market Perspective g. Internal Business Perspective h. Learning and Growth Perspective i. Cash Perspective j. Customer Perspective k. Variance Analysis perspective III. Henry tells you that he prefers cash today to cash in the future even if all aspect of risk is removed. He measures the time value of money at discount rate of 12% per annum. You owe Henry 10,000 payable in 24 months and you are thinking of paying him early if he is agreeable to an appropriate discount. Given his attitude to the time value of money, what is the minimum you would have to offer him to make it attractive to settle the debt now rather than in two years time?. IV. A firm intends to spend 2 million on new plant. The net cash flows to be generated each year after deducting all cash outflows will be 300,000. Calculate and state the payback period: in years and again in months. Page 10 of 11
11 Questions 7: Narrative - 10 marks Select one topic. Do not attempt more than one. Marks awarded for presentation and expression. Narrative I Research indicates that the IRR method is popular even though it has shortcomings when compared to the NPV method. What are those shortcomings? That said, why might managers prefer to use IRR rather than NPV when carrying out discounted cash flow evaluations? Narrative II Why are cash flows rather than profit flows used in IRR, NPV and PP methods of investment appraisal? END Page 11 of 11
