Q. No. 1. (a) Describe the three main components of product cost. Select a product with which you are familiar and provide examples of costs that would be classified under each of those three components. (b) During November the following transactions took place in Sevenhill Manufacturing Company: (i) Materials purchased on account, Tk.35,600. (ii) Materials issued during the month as follows: to fill requisitions on job orders, Tk.25,250, supplies issued to the factory, Tk.1,300. (iii) Materials issued to complete defective units, Tk.200. (iv) Freight paid for materials received, Tk.850. (Freight is not added to unit costs on materials inventory cards). (v) Materials returned to the vendor during the month, Tk.225. (vi) Scrap materials received in the storeroom were set up at a value of Tk.175, and credit was given to Factory Overhead Control for that amount. A separate general ledger account, Scrap Materials is used. (vii) Materials returned to the storeroom during the month as follows: from job orders, Tk.1,090; from supplies issued to the factory, Tk.175.

CMA AUGUST 2013, EXAMINATION PROFESSIONAL LEVEL-I SUBJECT: 102. COST ACCOUNTING. Q. No. 1. (contd) Required: (a) Journal entries to record the above transactions. Indicate the subsidiary records to which the entries would also be posted. (b) Ledger accounts for Work in Process, Factory Overhead Control, Materials and Finished Goods. The November 01 balances were: Work in Process, Tk.9,750; Materials, Tk.6,180; Finished Goods, Tk.5,660. [Marks: (4+12+8) = 24] Q. No. 2: (a) Under EOQ approaches, order costs can be minimized by placing large infrequent orders of inventory. However, under JIT, inventory-related costs are reduced by ordering frequently and in small quantities. Can you explain why both of these statements are correct? (b) Monyem Limited uses a small casting in one of its finished products. The castings are purchased from a foundry. Monyem Limited purchases 54,000 castings per year at a cost of Tk.800 per casting. The castings are used evenly throughout the year in the production process on a 360-day-peryear basis. The company estimates that it costs Tk.9,000 to place a single purchase order and about Tk.300 to carry one casting in inventory for a year. The high carrying costs result from the need to keep the castings in carefully controlled temperature and humid conditions and the high cost of insurance. Delivery from the foundry generally takes 6 days, but it can take as much as 10 days. The days of delivery time and percentage of their occurrence are shown in the following table: Delivery time (days) : 6 7 8 9 10 Occurrence : 75% 10% 5% 5% 5% Required: (i) Compute the economic order quantity (EOQ). (ii) Assume the company is willing to assume a 15% risk of being out of stock. What would be the safety stock? The re-order point? (iii) (iv) Assume 5% stock-out risk. What would be the total cost of ordering and carrying inventory for one year? Refer to the original data. Assume that using process re-engineering the company reduces its cost of placing a purchase order to only Tk. 600. In addition, company estimates that when the waste and inefficiency caused by inventories are considered, the true cost of carrying a unit in stock is Tk.720 per year. (a) (b) Compute the new EOQ. How frequently would the company be placing an order, as compared to the old purchasing policy? [Marks: 5 + {3+3+3+(3+3)} = 20]

CMA AUGUST 2013, EXAMINATION PROFESSIONAL LEVEL-I SUBJECT: 102. COST ACCOUNTING. Q. No. 3. (a) Conventional costing systems apply manufacturing overhead costs to products using a volume-based cost driver such as direct labour hours. What do we mean by the term volume-based cost driver? What problems can arise with this approach to product costing when use in a modern manufacturing environment? (b) The accountant of Camberwell Electronics Company believes that the identification of the variable and fixed components of the firms costs will enable the firm to make better planning and control decisions. Among the costs the accountant is concerned about is the behavior of indirect materials cost. She believes that machine hours are a cost driver for indirect materials costs. A member of the accountants staff has suggested that regression analysis be used to determine the cost behavior of indirect materials. The following regression equation was developed from 40 pairs of observations: S = $200+$4H where S = total monthly costs of indirect materials H = machine hours per month Required: Explain the meaning of 200 and 4 in the regression equation S = $200 + $4H. Calculate the estimated cost of indirect materials if 900 machine hours are to be used during a month. (iii) To determine the validity of the cost estimate calculated in requirement (ii), what questions would you ask the accountant about the data used for the regression? (iv) Consider three other activities that could be used as cost drivers to predict the total monthly costs of indirect materials. [Marks: 6+(4+3+4+3) = 20] Q. No. 4.

Selling prices have had to be lowered to what the directors maintain in an uneconomical level and they are considering whether or not their single factory should be closed down until trade recession has passed. A market research consultant has advised that in about 12 months time there is every indication that sales will increase to about 75% of normal capacity and that the revenue to be produced in the second year will amount to Taka 90,000. The present revenue from sales at 50% capacity would amount to only Tk. 49,500 for a complete year. If the directors decided to close down the factory for a year, it is estimated that: (i) The present fixed cost would be reduced to Tk. 11,000 p.a. (ii) Closing down cost would amount to Tk. 7,500.

Production has increased gradually during the year and has been evenly distributed throughout each month. Carla Viller, the accountant, has designed and implemented a new budget system in response to concerns voiced by CEO George Berwin. Carla prepared an annual budget that has been divided into 12 equal segments; this budget can be used to assist in the timely evaluation of monthly performance. George was visibly upset upon receiving the May performance report for the machining department. He exclaimed: How can they be efficient enough to produce nine extra units every working day and still miss the budget by $300 per day! Gene Jordan, the supervisor of the machining department, could not understand all the red ink when he knew that the department had operated more efficiently in May than it had done in months. Gene stated: I was expecting a pat on the back. Instead, the boss tore me apart. Whats more, I dont even know why!

CMA AUGUST 2013 EXAMINATION PROFESSIONAL LEVEL-IV SUBJECT: 402. STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING. Q. No. 5. (contd..) 4. Fixed overheads are estimated at Tk.9,00,000 per annum. These overheads cannot be avoided until the end of the year in which the Snowballer is withdrawn from the market. An initial investment of Tk.5 million would be required. A government grant to 50% of the initial investment would be received on the date investment is made. However, because the Snowballer would be classified as a luxury good, no tax allowances would be available on this initial investment. The estimated life cycle of the Snowballer is six years. Corporate tax at the rate of 30% per annum is payable in the year in which profit occurs. All cash flows are stated in current prices and, with the exception of the initial investment and the government grants, will occur at the end of each year. The nominal cost of capital is 15.44%. Annual inflation during the period is expected to amount to 4%.
