Question 1: Management Accounting Concepts

You are required to match each word or phrase in ‘column A’ with its corresponding description in ‘column B’. Next to each word or phrase in ‘column A’, you need to write the corresponding letter from ‘column B’ in the ‘ANSWER’ column.

COLUMN A ANSWER

COLUMN B

1. Spending variance A. Is the result of production being below Normal Manufacturing Capacity which results in fixed costs being under-absorbed (or under-applied).

2. Unfavourable capacity variance

B. Refers to the sales volume or activity level at which the profit generated is equal to zero.

3. Favourable capacity variance

C. Is the result of having spent more or less than was budgeted at the activity level worked.

4. Operating leverage D. Is about providing information to users external to the organisation e.g. gov’t authorities.

5. Break-even point E. Is used to disclose the cost of goods manufactured.

6. Management Accounting

F. In the context of factory overhead, it refers to the activity that causes overhead costs to be incurred. For example, the cost of running a cafeteria may be allocated to the different departments within a company based on the number of employees working in each department.

7. Financial Accounting G. Includes wages earned for the period as well as any allowances (e.g. overtime) and incentives (e.g. commission).

8. Cost driver H. Is the result of production being above Normal Manufacturing Capacity which results in fixed costs being over-absorbed (or over-applied).

9. Manufacturing statement

I. Is about providing information to users within the organisation e.g. Operations Manager.

10. Gross wages J. Refers to the percentage of fixed costs in an organisation’s total cost structure. The higher this fixed cost percentage, the more the

Question 3: High-Low Analysis

The Lawson Distribution and Manufacturing Group makes and sells diagnostic medical equipment. For the x-ray machine, it is reviewing the cost behaviour patterns of its indirect manufacturing costs in relation to the number of units produced. Each x-ray machine requires 80 direct labour hours to manufacture.

Production volume and the associated indirect manufacturing cost for the past six (6) months are as follows:

Month Units Produced Overhead ($)

October 20 10,000

November 40 15,000

December 100 26,600

January 180 40,000

February 120 30,800

March 60 18,300

REQUIRED:

( a ) Use the high-low method to calculate the variable cost per direct labour hour

( b ) Use the high-low method to calculate the fixed cost per month.

( c ) If in the coming month the firm has budgeted for total output equal to 3,600 direct labour hours, what will be the estimate for indirect manufacturing costs. Please show estimates for fixed and variable costs separately by using the cost equation (cost estimation formula).

Production (units) 30,000 units 29,000 units

Other information:

1. The factory overhead budget was based on a normal production capacity of 30,000 units.

2. Budgeted rates are used to apply factory overhead to production.

3. Factory overhead is applied to production using a predetermined rate based on units produced as the cost driver.

REQUIRED:

For the year ended 30 June 2012;

(a) Calculate the total predetermined factory overhead recovery rate.

(b) Calculate the variable predetermined factory overhead recovery rate.

(c) Determine the amount of over or under-applied overhead. Your answer must clearly state whether the calculated amount is over or under-applied.

(d) Further analyse the over- or under- applied overhead into a spending variance and a capacity variance. Your answer must also clearly state whether each variance is either favourable or unfavourable.
