1 Management Accounting Sample Paper 1 Questions and Suggested Solutions
2 NOTES TO USERS ABOUT SAMPLE PAPERS Sample papers are published by Accounting Technicians Ireland. They are intended to provide guidance to students and their teachers regarding the style and type of question, and their suggested solutions, in our examinations. They are not intended to provide an exhaustive list of all possible questions that may be asked and both students and teachers alike are reminded to consult our published syllabus (see for a comprehensive list of examinable topics. There are often many possible approaches to the solution of questions in professional examinations. It should not be assumed that the approach adopted in these solutions is the only correct approach, particularly with discursive answers. Alternative answers will be marked on their own merits.

This fixed production overhead is included at the pre-determined overhead absorption rate of / 4 per unit. Therefore this fixed overhead rate is included in the inventory valuation at the end of each month. This results in a higher net profit each month when using absorption costing because production volume exceeds sales volume each month. The total difference in calculated profits of / 5,000 is represented by the difference in the inventory valuation at the end of November ( / 67,500 using absorption costing - / 62,500 using marginal costing).
14 The marginal costing figures exclude the fixed production overhead element in inventory valuations and hence net profits each month are lower. Profit is recognised only when sales are recorded.

Planning can be defined as The establishment of objectives, the formulation, evaluation and selection of policies, strategies, tactics and action required to achieve these objectives. Planning comprises long-term strategic planning and short-term operational planning Planning is a key function of management which precedes control and feedback to assist in the effective running of an organisation. Levels of planning There are a number of different types of planning: Long-term, strategic planning normally covers a period of 3, 5 or 10 years and is an involved process including assessment of internal and external environments, opportunities and expectations. Once objectives are established, options are evaluated and appraised to formulate the long-term corporate plan. 26
27 Tactical planning is the process of developing specific strategies or tactics relevant to prevailing circumstances (e.g.; a new marketing strategy) in the context of the long-term strategic plan. Short-term planning usually involves the deployment of resources to effectively achieve specific objectives and normally covers a period up to one year. Organisational control processes Organisational control is concerned with the efficient use of resources to achieve a plan. Control involves the measurement of activity, comparison with plans and identification of performance issues. Control will provide information on corrective action required to alter performance so as to conform to plan or to modify original plans. The key elements of control include a specification, measurement of actual performance, comparison between specification and actual performance, feedback on performance, action to control performance, on-going feedback. Control actions must be appropriately timed - otherwise the action may have a detrimental effect. Control is exercised in organisational systems by feedback loops which gather information on performance from the output of the system. The annual budget The detailed annual budget is set in the context of long-term financial objectives (E.g.: achieve a 10% market share; achieve a 20% profit increase). The annual budget is an example of a short-term tactical plan. It sets out a financial plan for the organisation to ensure that resources are appropriately deployed. The annual budget provides clarity of roles and responsibilities and provides a target for coordination purposes Control is exercised through the measurement and comparison of actual results against planned / budgeted performance. Feedback from variance analysis reports should result in corrective action aimed at addressing adverse variances and promoting favourable variances. Decision-making activities may include for example the decision to change supplier to improve an adverse materials price variance There may be a number of budgetary revisions throughout a year to implement tactical plans b) Key Elements of a Budget Manual A Budget Manual is an important tool for the communication of the budgetary process, providing information about budget-setting, budgetary control procedures and the general operation of the budget. The main contents of a Budget Manual should include: Explanation of the budgetary process Organisational structures and responsibilities Main budgets and inter-relationship between them Budget development Accounting procedures 27

Inventory Re-Order Level Re-order level = Maximum usage per day x maximum lead time (in days) 600 per day x 20 days = 12,000 ii. Minimum Inventory Level = Re-order level (average usage (per day) x average lead time (in days)) 12,000 - (500 per day x 15 days) = 4,500 iii Economic Order Quantity. Co Cost per order D Demand per year 2 Co D Hc Holding Cost per year Cc = 2 x / 360 x 125,000 = 15,000 ( / 5 x 8%) iv. Maximum Inventory Level (Re-Order Level + Economic Order Quantity) (Minimum Usage Rate x Minimum Lead Time) 12, ,000 - (100 per day x 10 days) = 26,000 28
29 b) Advantages & disadvantages of calculating inventory management ratios to manage inventory levels Advantages of using inventory management ratios include: 1. On average, lower inventory levels resulting in cost savings; 2. Efficiency savings due to economic order quantities; 3. More responsive to inventory demand fluctuations; 4. Avoid costs and losses associated with running out of inventory; 5. Applicable for a wide range of inventory. Disadvantages of such a system include: 1. As there is no sequence to re-ordering, the system can involve variations with many orders at one time and few at other times; 2. Economic order quantity assumptions may not always be valid and may not suit all circumstances; 3. Resources are required to collect data and perform calculations. In general it is recommended that a re-ordering system should be implemented in conjunction with pareto analysis (i.e. with a concentration on high-value / high-activity inventory items) END OF SOLUTIONS 29
