TURN OVER The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants 2014 SECTION A - 50 MARKS [You are advised to spend no longer than 18 minutes on each question in this section.] ANSWER ALL FIVE QUESTIONS IN THIS SECTION. EACH QUESTION IS WORTH 10 MARKS. YOU SHOULD SHOW YOUR WORKINGS AS MARKS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE METHOD YOU USE. Question One WTI is planning to launch a new component. Production volume will be limited, with only 128 components to be produced in total. WTI expects the manufacture of the first component to take 25 direct labour hours. It is anticipated there will be a 90% learning curve that will continue until all 128 components have been produced. Direct labour is paid at a rate of $15 per hour. Non labour-related costs are expected to be $265 per component; this will apply to all 128 components produced. There are no product-specific fixed costs associated with this new component. WTI is going to use a target costing approach for the new component. Based on the market research it has undertaken, WTI plans to sell the components for $530 each. WTI requires an average profit margin of 20% of the selling price over the life of this new component. Note: The learning index for a 90% learning curve = -0.152 Required: (a) th Calculate the time required to produce the 128 component. (3 marks) (b) Calculate the value of any cost gap between the target cost of 128 components in total and the expected cost of 128 components in total. (3 marks) (c) Calculate the rate of learning required to close the cost gap you calculated in part (b) in order to achieve the required profit margin of 20%. (4 marks) (Total for Question One = 10 marks) Performance Management 2 March 2014 Question Two PB is a car production company. PB uses a system of standard costing to set its budgets. Budgets are set annually by the Finance department and approved by the Board of Directors of PB. The Finance department prepares variance reports each month for review at the Board of Directors meeting, where actual performance is monitored by comparison to budgeted figures. A new Finance Director has recently joined PB from a competitor organisation where there was a Total Quality Management culture. The new Finance Director of PB is keen to discuss the implementation of Kaizen costing at the next meeting of the Board of Directors. The new Finance Director would like to review the current planning and control system at PB with a view to making changes so that it could support Kaizen costing concepts. Required: (a) Explain TWO basic principles of Total Quality Management. (4 marks) (b) Explain THREE changes required to PB's planning and control system to support the adoption of Kaizen costing concepts. (6 marks) (Total for Question Two = 10 marks) Section A continues on the next page TURN OVER March 2014 3 Performance Management Question Three APZ has recently opened a fast-food restaurant in a small town. Fast-food restaurants are characterised by their quick food service. The fast-food restaurant market in the town is dominated by a small number of long established restaurants. APZ is seeking to grow its business and attract the town's residents with its burger meals. The performance report for the first month of business is to be presented at the restaurant's monthly management meeting. A draft of the performance report for the first month of business is reproduced below: Sales (number of meals) Revenue Variable costs Fixed costs Profit Budget 6,000 $ 45,000 26,400 5,250 13,350 Actual 5,400 $ 40,365 24,632 4,950 10,783 Variance (600) $ (4,635) 1,768 300 (2,567) The management accountant at APZ has realised that the size of the fast-food market that was used to derive the budget number of meals to be sold has been over-estimated. The management accountant has calculated the value of the sales volume contribution planning variance to be $2,480 adverse. Required: (a) (i) Prepare a revised budget based on the new estimate of the market. (3 marks) (ii) Prepare a performance report for the month based on a flexed budget. (3 marks) (b) Explain TWO non-financial measures that APZ could use to monitor the performance of the new fast-food restaurant. (4 marks) (Total for Question Three = 10 marks) Performance Management 4 March 2014 Question Four SAF is about to launch a new model of smart phone, Product Z. Product Z is the company's first smart phone and features unique technology developed by SAF. SAF expects the unique technology and exclusive design to attract both new and existing SAF customers. Given the unique nature of this smart phone, SAF has no experience of the price demand relationship of this product. However, based on experience from previous products, it expects that during the product's introductory phase, at a selling price of $200, the demand would be 20,000 units per month. For every $32.50 increase in selling price the monthly demand would reduce by 2,500 units, and for every $32.50 decrease in selling price the monthly demand would increase by 2,500 units. The variable costs of production for one unit of Product Z are as follows: Direct materials $85 Direct labour $56 Variable overhead $20 SAF is planning an advertising campaign during the introductory phase of product Z. The total cost of the advertising campaign is yet to be finalised with the advertising agency. However, after deducting the cost of this advertising, the Managing Director requires a minimum profit of $2,500,000 for the introductory phase. Note: the introductory phase of Product Z is expected to have a duration of three months. There are no other specific fixed costs associated with Product Z. Required: (a) Calculate the maximum cost of the advertising campaign in order to achieve the Managing Director's profit requirement for the introductory phase of Product Z. Note: The company will set the price for a unit of Product Z to maximise profit during the introductory phase. If P = a - bx then MR = a - 2bx (6 marks) (b) Explain TWO reasons why it may not be appropriate to set the introductory price of Product Z using the assumptions contained in the profit-maximisation model you used in part (a).

Managers at health clubs receive a quarterly bonus if their health club achieves or exceeds ALL of the following financial targets: ROCE Asset turnover Operating profit margin 8% (based on net assets) 40% 20% Summary actual performance for Quarter 3 of the current year for Health Club E is detailed below: Revenue Staff costs Other fixed costs Net assets Number of customers Quarter 3 $36,000 $12,000 $22,000 $110,000 600 The quarterly financial targets are set by the head office finance team and all health clubs are given the same target. TES is currently forecasting the performance of its health clubs in Quarter 4. TES will use the following information to forecast the performance of each of its health clubs in Quarter 4: The average revenue per customer will increase by 10% on Quarter 3. Customer numbers will increase by 5% on Quarter 3. Staff costs and net assets are expected to remain at the same level as Quarter 3. Other fixed costs are expected to decrease by 5% on Quarter 3. Staff and other costs are fixed (they are not related to the number of customers). Required: (a) Prepare calculations to show whether the manager of Health Club E is expected to receive the bonus in Quarter 4 based on the forecast performance. Note: you should calculate operating profit margin, ROCE and asset turnover for Quarter 4. (6 marks) Performance Management 6 March 2014 The manager of Health Club E is dissatisfied with the quarterly bonus system and does not perceive it to be fair. The manager argues that the financial targets are based on a national view of all TES health clubs and do not take account of specific local circumstances. For example, Health Club E is located in a less affluent area of the country. The manager of Health Club E would like to see participation from health club managers in the development of quarterly financial targets. (b) Discuss the potential impact for TES of involving the health club managers in the production of their quarterly financial targets.

The company has two divisions, Division S and Division B. Division S manufactures components for televisions. Division S sells components to division B and to external customers. Division B uses five of the components in each of the televisions that it manufactures, and sells televisions directly to external customers. Division S Budgeted variable manufacturing cost per component: Direct material Direct labour Variable overhead $ 14 18 12 The following information relating to next year is also available: Fixed costs Production capacity External demand Potential demand from Division B The anticipated external market price for a component is $50. $560,000 175,000 components 150,000 components 80,000 components Division B Sales price Budgeted variable manufacturing cost per television Direct material Direct labour Variable overhead $ 450 40 62 16 In addition to the variable costs above, each television produced needs five components Fixed costs are budgeted to be $1,460,000 for next year. Annual sales of televisions are expected to be 16,000 units. Transfer Pricing Policy Transfer prices are set at opportunity cost. Division S must satisfy the demand of Division B before selling components externally. Division B is allowed to purchase components from Division S or from external suppliers. Performance Management 10 March 2014 Required: (a) Assuming that Division B buys all the components it requires from Division S: Produce a profit statement for each division detailing sales and costs, showing external sales and internal company transfers separately where appropriate. (7 marks) (b) A specialist external supplier has approached Division B and offered to supply 80,000 components at a price of $42 each. The components fulfil the same function as those manufactured by Division S. The manager of Division B has accepted the offer and has agreed to buy all the components it requires from this supplier. (i) Produce a revised profit statement for each division and for the total SBA company. (6 marks) Division S has just received an enquiry from a new customer for the production of 25,000 components. The manager of Division S requires a total profit for the year for the division of $450,000. (ii) Calculate the minimum price per component to sell the 25,000 components to the new customer that would enable the manager of Division S to meet the profit target. Note: this order will have no effect on the divisional fixed costs and no impact on the 150,000 components Division S sells to its existing external customers at $50 per component. Division B will continue to purchase the 80,000 components it requires from the specialist external supplier. (4 marks) (c) Discuss the potential implications for SBA of outsourcing the production of one type of component that it manufactures.
