Question 1

THS produces two products from different combinations of the same resources. Details of the products are shown below:

Identify, using graphical linear programming, the optimal production plan for products E and R to maximize THS's profit in the month.

Options :

A : The solution (from the graph0 is to produce 675 units of E and 470 units of R.

B : The solution (from the graph0 is to produce 495 units of E and 670 units of R.

C : The solution (from the graph0 is to produce 475 units of E and 770 units of R.

D : The solution (from the graph0 is to produce 375 units of E and 750 units of R.

E : The solution (from the graph0 is to produce 375 units of E and 870 units of R.

F : The solution (from the graph0 is to produce 495 units of E and 470 units of R.

Answer: D

Question 2

The standard production cost of making a product is as follows:

What is the fixed production overhead capacity variance?

Options :

A : $9,000F

B : $6,000F

C : $3,000F

D : $6,000A

Answer: B

Question 3

Explain how probability analysis could be used to assess the risk of the evaluated projects.

Select all the true statements.

Options :

A : The company can determine a range of possible outcomes for each of the cash flows in the project, for example, a high, low and medium estimate of each cash flow could be determined.

B : The net present value (NPV) of the project, if all high, low or medium estimates occurred, can be calculated along with the combined probabilities of their occurrence.

C : The probabilities can be combined to calculate the expected value of each cash flow element and of the project as a whole

D : The NPVs of a sample range of possible outcomes and the probability of each NPV can be calculated. If a small sample is taken the distribution of outcomes can be used to calculate the zero activities deviation of the NPVs and the probability of success of the projects.

Answer: A,B,C

Question 4

A company's budget for the next period shows that it would breakeven at sales revenue of $800,000 and fixed costs of $320,000.

The sales revenue needed to achieve a profit of $200,000 in the next period would be:

Options :

A : $1,950,000

B : $1,780,000

C : $1,400,000

D : $1,300,000

E : $1,390,000

Answer: D

Question 5

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.

What was the difference between the profit calculation using marginal costing and the profit calculation using absorption costing?

Options :

A : $2870

B : $3010

C : $2950

D : $3610

E : $2750

Answer: C
