Question 2

A university is trying to decide whether or not to advertise a new post-graduate degree programme. The number of students starting the programme is dependent on economic conditions. If conditions are poor, it is expected that the programme will attract 40 students without advertising. There is a 60% chance that economic conditions will be poor. If economic conditions are good it is expected that the programme will attract only 20 students without advertising. There is a 40% chance that economic conditions will be good.

If the programme is advertised and economic conditions are poor, there is a 65% chance that the advertising will stimulate further demand and student numbers will increase to 50. If economic conditions are good, there is a 25% chance the advertising will stimulate further demand and numbers will increase to 25 students.

The profit expected, before deducting the cost of advertising, at different levels of student numbers are as follows:

The cost of advertising the programme will be $15,000.

Required:

Demonstrate, using a decision tree, whether the programme should be advertised.

A : , the programme should be advertised as the profit will be $82000

B : , the programme should be advertised as the profit will be $92000

C : , the programme should not be advertised as there will be a loss $82000

D : , the programme should not be advertised as there will be a loss $92000

Question 3

A company has budgeted to produce 5,000 units of Product B per month. The opening and closing inventories of Product B for next month are budgeted to be 400 units and 900 units respectively. The budgeted selling price and variable production costs per unit for Product B are as follows:

Total budgeted fixed production overheads are $29,500 per month. The company absorbs fixed production overheads on the basis of the budgeted number of units produced. The budgeted profit for Product B for next month, using absorption costing, is $20,700.

Prepare a marginal costing statement which shows the budgeted profit for Product B for next month.

A : $2870

B : $3010

C : $2950

D : $3610

E : $2750

Answer: C

Question 4

A company is preparing its annual budget and is estimating the number of units of Product A that it will sell in each quarter of year 2. Past experience has shown that the trend for sales of the product is represented by the following relationship:

y = a + bx where

y = number of sales units in the quarter a = 10,000 units b = 3,000 units x = the quarter number where 1 = quarter 1 of year 1

Actual sales of Product A in Year 1 were affected by seasonal variations and were as follows:

Quarter 1:14,000 units Quarter2: 18,000 units Quarter 3: 18,000 units Quarter 4: 20,000 units

Calculate the expected sales of Product A (in units) for each quarter of year 2, after adjusting for seasonal variations using the additive model.

A : expected sales for year 2 Quarter 4 was 32700 units

B : expected sales for year 2 Quarter 4 was 32000 units

C : expected sales for year 2 Quarter 4 was 33000 units

D : expected sales for year 2 Quarter 4 was 40000 units

Answer: B

A : $1,950,000

B : $1,780,000
