Answer to the Question no. 3(a):


(i)
Tk.1,000 rental revenue (Tk.12,000 6 = Tk.2,000 per month x 1/2 month); the balance (Tk.11,000)
should be deferred and recognized as earned during 1985.
(ii)
Tk.60,000 sales revenue (Tk.10,000 cash plus Tk.50,000 note is equal to FMV of asset); Tk.3,000
earned interest revenue ( 12% x Tk.50,000 x 1/2 year = Tk.3,000); the balance of interest revenue
(Tk.3,000) to be earned during 1985.
(iii) Tk.104,000 net sales revenue; the Tk.8,000 special discount is a reduction in selling price and
should be offset with the Tk.112,000 normal selling price in recognizing the net realizable amount.
(iv) Tk.400,000 sales revenue. Tk.16,000 guarantee expense, (4% x Tk.400,000 = Tk.16,000 all of
which relates to the Tk.400,000 worth of sales this period).
(v)
Tk.435,000 sales revenue. (All 5 tractors have been sold; the fact that 3 of the tractors have not yet
been delivered, unless there are unusual circumstances, would ordinarily not preclude the
recognition of the total sales revenue.)

3.

4.

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.
The pending lawsuit is a loss contingency requiring disclosure, but it is not listed in the liability
section of the balance sheet.
The BDT 70,870 of the mortgage note that will be repaid within the next 12 months (BDT 240,864BDT 169,994) is a current liability; the remaining balance, due after December 31, 2008, is a long
term debt.
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 + 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 nonvolume based costs are significant, a conventional costing approach will result in distorted product costs.

(b)
(i)

The regression equations 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 3 of 5

(ii)

Estimated cost of indirect material at 900 machine hours of activity:


S

(iii)

=
=

$200 + ($4 900)


$3 800

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.

(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.

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.

(d)

Berwins 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.

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.

Requirement 1(a):
Costs computed in a cost of production report are useful in determining inventory costs
and in computing the cost of goods sold. Unit costs should compare with standard unit costs or
previous data to determine whether they represent efficient operations. Also, materials, labor
and overhead must be reported by items of materials used, type of labor operations involved
and overheads incurred information is to be reported in a cost of production report are
necessary but reports must also be designed to assist control of costs.

The total fabricating department cost to be accounted for is the same as shown in answer
Unit cost for materials labor and factory overhead:
Material :Tk. 13,000 + TK. 92,000 = Tk. 1,05,000; Tk. 1,05,000/25,000 = Tk. 4.20 per unit
Labor :Tk. 17,500 + Tk. 1,54,000 = Tk. 1,71,500: Tk. 1,71,500/23,500 = Tk. 7.30 per unit
Factory O/H:Tk. 21,500 + Tk. 1,98,000 = Tk. 2,19,500: Tk. 2,19,500/23,500 = Tk. 9.34 per unit
Total Unit Cost
= Tk. 20.84 per unit
Cost of units transferred to Finishing Department:
19000 x Tk. 20.84 per unit = Tk. 395960. To avoid a decimal discrepancy, the cost
transferred to the Finishing Department is computed as follows:

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 Departments 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 Ottobis
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
Mumbais offer. The fact that Mumbai Corporations cost of Machining per unit are half of
what is costs Ottobi in house is irrelevant.

*
MN Ltd. Share price is currently based on assumption that the last five years 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.

Calculation of likely impact of the three proposed strategies for dealing with surplus
cash
Assumption
All the surplus cash of Tk 110.40 million is used either to repurchase shares or to pay bonuses.
(Alternative assumptions were also acceptable)
Preliminary workings
Based on an ex div share price of 4.524 (=4.78-0.256), the number of share to be repurchased
is 24.40 million ( = 110.4m/4.524), leaving 325.60 million shares in issue.

(C)
Evaluate impact on attainment of financial objectives and on shareholder wealth
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 3 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 SRPs 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 years 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 companys 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 4 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

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:

Summary of Break Points


(1) There are three common equity costs and hence two changes and, therefore, twoequity-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.

WACC3 = 0.25(9.6%) + 0.15(11.58%) + 0.60(16.27%) = 13.90%

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%

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 firms capital budget would
be total Tk. 40,000.

Solutions to the questions


Solution to Question No. 1.
(a)
(b)

(c)

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.
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.
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)

(ii)

(iii)

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.
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.
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.

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.

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?
