CIMA P1 - Management Accounting Question Tutorial Sample Questions:

Question 1

CDF is a manufacturing company within the DF group. CDF has been asked to provide a quotation for a contract for a new customer and is aware that this could lead to further orders. As a consequence, CDF will produce the quotation by using relevant costing instead of its usual method of full cost plus pricing. The
following information has been obtained in relation to the contract: Material D 40 tons of material D would be required. This material is in regular use by CDF and has a current purchase price of $38 per ton. Currently, there are 5 tons in inventory which cost $35 per ton. The resale value of the material in inventory is $24 per ton.
Components 4,000 components would be required. These could be bought externally for $15 each or alternatively they could be supplied by RDF, another company within the DF manufacturing group. The variable cost of the component if it were manufactured by RDF would be $8 per unit, and RDF adds 30% to its variable cost to contribute to its fixed costs plus a further 20% to this total cost in order to set its internal transfer price. RDF has sufficient capacity to produce 2,500 components without affecting its ability to satisfy its own external customers. However, in order to make the extra 1,500 components required by CDF, RDF would have to forgo other external sales of $50,000 which have a contribution to sales ratio of 40%.
Labour hours 850 direct labour hours would be required. All direct labour within CDF is paid on an hourly basis with no guaranteed wage agreement. The grade of labour required is currently paid $10 per hour, but department W is already working at 100% capacity. Possible ways of overcoming this problem are:
* Use workers in department Z, because it has sufficient capacity. These workers are paid $15 per hour.
* Arrange for sub-contract workers to undertake some of the other work that is performed in department W.
The sub-contract workers would cost $13 per hour.
Specialist machine The contract would require a specialist machine. The machine could be hired for $15,000 or it could be bought for $50,000. At the end of the contract if the machine were bought, it could be sold for
$30,000. Alternatively, it could be modified at a cost of $5,000 and then used on other contracts instead of buying another essential machine that would cost $45,000. The operating costs of the machine are payable by CDF whether it hires or buys the machine. These costs would total $12,000 in respect of the new contract.
Supervisor The contract would be supervised by an existing manager who is paid an annual salary of $50,000 and has sufficient capacity to carry out this supervision. The manager would receive a bonus of $500 for the additional work.
Development time 15 hours of development time at a cost of $3,000 have already been worked in determining the resource requirements of the contract.
Fixed overhead absorption rate CDF uses an absorption rate of $20 per direct labour hour to recover its general fixed overhead costs. This includes $5 per hour for depreciation.
Calculate the relevant cost of the contract to CDF. You must present your answer in a schedule that clearly shows the relevant cost value for each of the items identified above. You should also explain each relevant cost value you have included in your schedule and why any values you have excluded are not relevant.
Ignore taxation and the time value of money.
Select all the true statements.

A. The total relevant cost was $94 740
B. Direct labour cist is a relevant cost
C. Machine operating costs is a relevant cost.
D. The total relevant cost was $104 320
E. Development Cost is a relevant cost.
F. The total relevant cost was $84 990
G. General fixed overhead costs are relevant costs.

Question 2

A medium-sized manufacturing company, which operates in the electronics industry, has employed a firm of consultants to carry out a review of the company's planning and control systems. The company presently uses a traditional incremental budgeting system and the inventory management system is based on economic order quantities (EOQ) and reorder levels. The company's normal production patterns have changed significantly over the previous few years as a result of increasing demand for customized products. This has resulted in shorter production runs and difficulties with production and resource planning.
The consultants have recommended the implementation of activity based budgeting and a manufacturing resource planning system to improve planning and resource management.
How will a manufacturing resource planning system improve the planning of purchases and production for the company?
Select ALL the correct answers.

A. A manufacturing resource planning approach to the management of all the company's manufacturing
resources including inventory, labour and machine capacity.
B. It aims to generate an estimation of materials requirements after taking account of the number of employees quality and waste. The TQS model can be used within MRP provided that the major assumption in the TQS model of constant demand applies.
C. The traditional approach to determine material requirements is to monitor inventories constantly; whenever they fall to a predetermined level, a preset order is placed to replenish them. This traditional approach (involving re-order levels and economic order quantity calculations originates in the pre-computer era.
D. The correct inventory management system relies on the assumption that there is constant demand. An MRP system begins with the setting of a master production schedule specifying both the timing and quantity demanded of each of the finished goods items and then works backwards to determine the resource requirements at each stage of the production process.
E. It seeks to ensure that resources are available just before they are needed by the next stage of production or dispatch. It also seeks to ensure that resources are delivered only when required so that raw material inventory is kept to a minimum.
F. The technique will not enable managers to track orders through the manufacturing process and will not assist the purchasing and production control departments to move the right amount of material or sub- assemblies at the right time to the right place.

Question 3

XY, a not-for-profit charity organization which is funded by public donations, is concerned that it is not making the best use of its available funds. It has carried out a review of its budgeting system and is considering
replacing the current system with a zero-based budgeting system.
Select ALL the potential advantages AND disadvantages for the charity of a zero-based budgeting system.

A. In an organization like a charity, the decision packages are not very disparate and difficult t compare.
B. Preparation of the decision packages will normally require the environment of many employees. This environment may produce useful ideas and promote job satisfaction.
C. It avoids the complacency inherent in the traditional incremental approach where it is assumed that future activities will be very similar to current ones.
D. The creation of decision packages and their subsequent ranking by top management is very time consuming and costly. The charity will need to assess whether the benefits of the system outweigh the costs involved.
E. In applying traditional budgeting, 'activities' may result in functional departments rather than cross functional activities and thus distract attention from the real cost-reduction issues.
F. It discourages a questioning approach by focusing attention not only on the cost of the activity but on the benefits it provides. The charity managers will not articulate the benefits encouraging them to think clearly about the activities.

Question 4

A company sells and services photocopying machines. Its sales department sells the machines and consumables, including ink and paper, and its service department provides an after sales service to its customers. The after sales service includes planned maintenance of the machine and repairs in the event of a machine breakdown. Service department customers are charged an amount per copy that differs depending on the size of the machine.
The company's existing costing system uses a single overhead rate, based on total sales revenue from copy charges, to charge the cost of the Service Department's support activities to each size of machine. The Service Manager has suggested that the copy charge should more accurately reflect the costs involved. The company's accountant has decided to implement an activity-based costing system and has obtained the following information about the support activities of the service department:

Calculate the annual profit per machine for each of the three sizes of machine, using the current basis for charging the costs of support activities to machines.

A. The profit per machine for the medium machine was: $1350
B. The profit per machine for the medium machine was: $1376
C. The profit per machine for the medium machine was: $1250
D. The profit per machine for the medium machine was: $1276

Question 5

A marketing manager is trying to decide which of four potential selling prices to charge for a new product. The state of the economy is uncertain and may show signs of recession, growth or boom. The manager has prepared a regret matrix showing the regret for each of the possible outcomes depending on the decision made.

If the manager applies the minimax regret criterion to make decisions, which selling price would be chosen?
