SECTION A – 75 MARKS [You are advised to spend no longer than 45 minutes on each question in this section]

ANSWER ALL THREE QUESTIONS Question One ZTG, a manufacturing company, has developed a new product. This required an initial capital investment of $5m. At the end of the product’s life the capital equipment is expected to have a value of $3m. ZTG requires an annual return (ARR) of 20% on its average investment in products of this type. The new product has an expected life of one year before it will be replaced by a more advanced product. Production The new product will be manufactured in batches of 1,000 units using a just-in-time production system. The first batch is expected to incur a direct labour cost of $100,000 but a 75% learning curve is expected until the cumulative production equals 30 batches. Thereafter, each batch is expected to th incur the same direct labour cost as that of the 30 batch. The expected direct materials cost for the first batch is $50,000. However, an experience curve is expected to apply to the first ten batches produced; thereafter no further savings in material costs per batch are expected. Other production costs are expected to be $10,000 per batch. Sales Sales of the new product are expected as follows for each of the four stages of the product life cycle: Stage

Units sold

Introduction Growth Maturity Decline

10,000 30,000 60,000 30,000

Selling price per unit $120 $100 $ 80 $ 50

Note: The learning index for a 75% learning curve is -0.4150

Required: (a)

Prepare calculations to show the total direct labour cost of the product for each of the four stages of the product life cycle. (8 marks)

(b)

Assuming that there is no experience curve in relation to the product's direct material cost, prepare a statement that shows the profitability of the new product for each of the four stages of the product life cycle individually and in total for the product's life. (4 marks)

(c)

Assuming that the direct material experience curve applies, calculate the average direct material cost per batch that must be incurred in order for ZTG to meet its ARR target over the life cycle of the product. (5 marks)

(d)

Discuss the concept of life cycle costing and its effect on product pricing strategies at different stages of the product life cycle. Use the ZTG scenario to illustrate your answer. (8 marks) (Total for Question One = 25 marks)

Question Two Mrs E, an entrepreneur, has had a number of business successes in the retail sector. Building on her achievements she now feels ready to move on to bigger things and has recently identified an opportunity to develop a shopping centre. So far, Mrs E has secured the interest of a number of investors, identified a suitable site for the shopping centre, had an architect draw up plans and received planning permission. She wants the construction work on the shopping centre to start as soon as possible. Mr G, who has an impressive record of managing construction projects, has been appointed by Mrs E to be the project manager for the construction of the shopping centre. However, at the early stage of the project Mrs E is already interfering and is putting pressure on Mr G to get started on the construction of the shopping centre. She is frustrated by the time Mr G says he needs in the project initiation and planning phases and is irritated by his insistence on formalising the project management process. Mr G has decided that to help the working relationship he needs to explain to Mrs E the potential problems she may face without proper project planning.

Required: (a)

Prepare a report which explains the potential problems that the shopping centre project could face without good project planning. (10 marks)

(b)

Explain the contribution of different project management tools and techniques that could help Mr G in planning the project. (15 marks) (Total for Question Two = 25 marks)

Additional information 1.

CAS acquired 480,000 of the 600,000 $1 issued ordinary shares of MC on 1 May 2010 for $8,400,000. The reserves of MC at 1 May 2010 were $6,150,000. A year end impairment review indicated that goodwill on acquisition of MC was impaired by 10%. The group policy is to charge impairment losses to administrative expenses. The group policy is to value the non-controlling interest at the proportionate share of the fair value of the net assets at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the net assets acquired was the same as the book value with the exception of property, plant and equipment, which was higher by $2,880,000. The uplift in value related to a depreciable property with an estimated total useful life of 50 years. At the date of acquisition MC had owned and used this property for 10 years. The group policy is to charge depreciation on buildings to administrative expenses on a monthly basis from the date of acquisition to the date of disposal.

2.

CAS disposed of 120,000 $1 ordinary shares of AC on 1 July 2010 for $2,880,000. CAS had acquired 225,000 of the 300,000 $1 issued ordinary share capital of AC for $2,940,000 on 1 November 2007, when the balance on reserves was $3,060,000. The fair value of the shareholding retained at 1 July 2010 was $2,376,000. There was no evidence of goodwill having been impaired since the date of acquisition. The reserves of AC at 1 October 2009 were $3,900,000.

3.

MC paid a dividend of $300,000 on 1 September 2010 and CAS has recorded its share in investment income.

4.

CAS holds several available for sale investments, and accounts for these in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: recognition and measurement. Gains on subsequent measurement of $138,000 occurred in the year. The Financial Controller however, is unsure how this should be presented within the statement of comprehensive income and so has yet to include it.

5.

CAS also disposed of an available for sale investment during the year to 30 September 2010 for $1,890,000, when the carrying value of the investment was $1,740,000. The gain on disposal of $150,000 is included in administrative expenses. Previously recognised gains associated with this investment of ÂŁ120,000 still remain in other reserves.

H is a large multinational company that is structured into six divisions. Many of the divisions trade with each other, usually providing intermediate components that are then used in the manufacture of final products in the other division. The senior management of H has a policy of using dual-rate transfer prices for all interdivisional transactions (where the supplying division receives the full cost plus a mark-up on each transaction and the receiving division is charged at the variable cost of the transfers. However, a number of concerns have been expressed about the policy including the following; (i)

The use of different transfer prices can cause confusion between divisions

(ii)

Different transfer prices can increase divisional incentives to compete effectively

(iii)

Different transfer prices can lead to the double counting of internal profits

FORMULAE Annuity

Present value of an annuity of $1 per annum receivable or payable for n years, commencing in one year, discounted at r% per annum: PV =

1 1  1 −  r  [1 + r ]n 

Perpetuity Present value of $1 per annum receivable or payable in perpetuity, commencing in one year, discounted at r% per annum: PV =

1 r

Growing Perpetuity Present value of $1 per annum, receivable or payable, commencing in one year, growing in perpetuity at a constant rate of g% per annum, discounted at r% per annum: PV =

1 r −g

Time series Additive model: Series = Trend + Seasonal + Random Multiplicative model: Series = Trend*Seasonal*Random Regression analysis The linear regression equation of Y on X is given by: Y = a + bX

or Y – Y = b(X – X ),

where: b=

Y = ab b Y = aX

Learning curve b

Yx = aX

where: Yx = the cumulative average time per unit to produce X units; a = the time required to produce the first unit of output; X = the cumulative number of units; b = the index of learning. The exponent b is defined as the log of the learning curve improvement rate divided by log 2.
