MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING (MARKS 100)
(3 hours)
Q.1 ABC Limited deals in a single product called HGV. It had prepared a budget for the year
ending December 31, 2009 which was based on the following key assumptions:
Sales 504,000 units @ Rs. 430
Variable cost (40% is direct labour) Rs. 300 per unit
Fixed cost for the year (including depreciation @ 10%) Rs. 25,000,000
Cost of raw material per kg Rs. 56.25
Raw material consumption per unit of finished product 2 kgs
However, the position as shown by the management accounts prepared up to May 31,
2009 is not very encouraging and depicts the following actual results:
๎šƒ 105,000 units were sold @ Rs. 350 per unit.
๎šƒ Average cost of raw material used amounted to Rs. 90/- per unit of finished product.
๎šƒ Other variable costs were as per the budget.
The marketing department advised the management that the failure to achieve targeted
sale is because a competitor has introduced another product which has been very popular
in the low income areas.
After due deliberations, the management has prepared a revised plan for the remaining
period of the financial year. The plan involves launching of a low grade version of the
existing product named LGV, to capture the low income market. Salient features of the
plan are as under:
(i) Sales mix of HGV and LGV is expected to be in the ratio of 1:2. Sale price of
HGV would be increased to Rs. 385, whereas sale price of LGV would be
Rs. 270.
(ii) A new machine will have to be purchased for Rs. 1.2 million.
(iii) For LGV two different types of raw materials i.e. A and B will be used in the ratio
of 5:3. However, the total weight of raw material used shall be the same in case of
both products. Presently A is available at the rate of Rs. 25 per kg whereas B is
available at the rate of Rs 45 per kg. The raw material consumption per unit of
HGV shall continue to be Rs. 90 per unit.
(iv) Production of HGV is carried out by skilled workers. However, only unskilled
workers would be required for the production of LGV. The wages of unskilled
workers would be 40% lower but labour hours per unit would be 10% higher than
HGV.
(v) Variable factory overhead cost per unit of LGV would be 10% lower than HGV.
(vi) Additional marketing cost would be Rs. 3 million.
Required:
Compute the sales amount and quantities for the remaining period, to achieve a break
even in 2009. (18)
