hours
Practical Capacity
:
15,000 machine
hours
Normal Capacity
:
8,000 machine hours
Expected Actual Capacity
:
10,000 machine

Q. No. 3.
(a)
All future costs are relevant in decision-making. Do you agree? Why?
(b)
Dancy-clean Corporation produces a variety of cleaning compounds and solutions for both
industrial and house hold use. While most of its products are processed independently, a few
are related, such as the companys Grit 337 and its sparkle silver polish. Grit 337 is a coarse
cleaning powder with many industrial uses. It costs Tk.1.60 a pound to make, and it has a
selling price of Tk.2.00 a pound. A small portion of the annual production of Grit 337 is
retained in the factory for further processing. It is combined with several other ingredients to
form a paste that is marketed as sparkle silver polish. The polish sells for Tk.4.00 per jar.
This further processing requires one-fourth pound of Grit 337 per jar of silver polish. The
additional direct costs involved in the processing of a jar of silver polish are:
Other ingredients
Tk.0.65
Direct labor
1.48
Total direct cost
Tk.2.13
Overhead costs associates with the processing of the silver polish are:
Variable manufacturing overhead cost 25% of direct labor.
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (per month):
Production (overhead) supervisor
Tk.1,600.00
Depreciation of mixing equipment
Tk.1,400.00
The production supervisor has no duties other than to oversee production of the silver polish.
The mixing equipment is a special purpose equipment acquired specifically to produce the
silver polish. It has only negligible resale value.
Direct labor is a variable cost at Dancy-clean corporation.
Advertising costs for the silver polish total Tk.4,000.00 per month. Variable selling costs
associated with the silver polish are 7.5% of sales.
Due to a recent decline in the demand of silver polish, the company is wondering whether its
continued production is advisable. The sales manager feels that it would be more profitable
to just sell all of the Grit 337 as a cleaning powder.
Required:
(i)
What is the incremental contribution margin per jar from further processing of Grit 337
into silver polish?
(ii)
What is the minimum number of jars of silver polish that must be sold each month to
justify the continued processing of Grit 337 into silver polish? Show all computation in
good form.
[Marks: (4+9+7) = 20]
Q. No. 4.
(a)
In what way is the flexible budget involved in product costing?
(b)
The management of the Gulshan Company wants to prepare budgets for one of its products,
Dura flex for July 2010. The firm sells the product for Tk. 40.00 per unit and has the following
expected sales units for these months in 2010.

June
July
August
September
5,000
5,400
5,500
6,000
7,000
8,000
The production process required 4 pounds of Dura-1000 and 2 pounds of flex-plus. The firms
policy is to maintain a minimum of 100 units of Dura flex on hand at all time. The units on
hand at the end of a period, however, should not fall below 10 percent of the expected sales
for the following month. All materials inventories are to be maintained at 5 percent of the
production needs for the next month, but not to exceed 1,000 pounds. The firm expects all
inventories at the end of June to be within the guide lines. The purchased department
expects the materials to cost Tk. 1.25 per pound and Tk. 5.00 per pound of Dura 1,000 and
flex-plus respectively.

Q. No. 4. (Contd..)
The production process requires direct labor at two skill levels. Workers at the K102 level
earn Tk. 50.00 per hour and can process one batch of Dura flex per hour. Each batch consists
of 100 units.
The manufacturing of Dura flex also requires one tenth of an hour of K 175 workers time
for each unit manufactured. K 175 Workers earn Tk. 20.00 per hour. Manufactured overhead
is allocated at the rate of Tk. 200.00 per batch and Tk. 30.00 per direct labor hour.
Required:
On the basis of the preceding data and projections, prepare the following budgets for July,
2010:
(i)
Sales budget (in taka)
(ii)
Production budget (in units)
(iii) Production budget for August ( in Units)

Q. No. 5.
(a)
Distinguish between Absolute profitability and relative profitability.
(b)
According to the economists approach to setting prices, the profit maximizing price should
depend on what two factors?
(c)
Iqbal manufactures custom made pleasure boats ranging in price from Tk. 10,000 to Tk.
250,000. For the past thirty years, Iqbal has determined each boats sales price by
estimating the costs of materials, labor and a prorated portion of overhead and by adding
20% to those estimated costs. For example, a recent price quotation was determined as
follows:
Direct materials
Tk. 5,000
Direct labor
8,000
Overhead
2,000
Tk. 15,000
Plus 20%
3,000
Sales price
Tk. 18,000
The overhead figure was determined by estimating the total overhead cost for the year and
allocating it at 25% of direct labor.
If a customer rejects the price and business is slack, Iqbal is often willing to reduce the mark
up to as little as 5% over estimated costs. Thus average markup for the year is estimated at
15%.
Iqbal has just completed a pricing course and believes that the company could use some of
the modern techniques taught in the course. The course emphasized the contribution margin
approach to pricing, and Iqbal feels that such an approach would be helpful in determining
the sales prices of custom-made pleasure boats.
Total overhead (including marketing and administrative expenses for the year) has been
estimated at Tk. 150,000 of which Tk. 90,000 is fixed and the remainder is variable in direct
proportion to direct labor.
Required:
(i) (a)
Compute the difference in profit for the year if a customers offer of Tk. 15,000
instead of Tk. 18,000 price quotation shown above is accepted.
(b)
Determine the minimum sales price Iqbal could have quoted without reducing or
increasing profit.
(ii) State the advantages of the contribution margin approach to pricing used by Iqbal.
(iii) Identify the pitfalls, if any to contribution margin pricing.

Q. No. 3. (Contd..)
The company has total fixed costs of Tk.3,75,000 per year. The fixed cost per unit has been
arrived at by dividing the total fixed cost with the total volume of 25,000 units. On the basis
of the above analysis, it has been suggested by the Cost Accountant that product A should
be discontinued if a substitute could be found that would be more profitable. This conclusion
upsets the sales manager, who had planned to undertake a Tk.60,000 promotional campaign
for product A. He has estimated that a Tk.50,000 expenditure would increase the volume of
the product selected by 30%; sales of other products would be unaffected as would existing
fixed costs.
Required: To determine whether promotional campaign should be undertaken or not. If your
answer is yes, then which product should be selected for special promotion? Will your
decision get changed if the required expenditure on promotional campaign were
Tk.50,000 only?

Q. No. 1.
The Managing Director of M/s. ABC Ltd. has been planning to acquire a Bus available for use by
the Companys staff. The Bus that the company wishes to acquire can be either purchased or
leased from the manufacturer. The company has made the following evaluation of the two
alternatives.
Purchase alternative:
If the Bus is purchased, then the costs incurred by the company would be as follows:
Purchase cost of the Bus

Tk.8,50,0
00
9,000

Annual cost of servicing, licenses and taxes


Repairs:
First three years, per year
3,000
Fourth year
5,000
Fifth year
10,000
The Bus would be sold after five years. Based on current resale values, the company would be
able to sell it for about one-half of its original cost at the end of the five-year period.
Lease alternative:
If the Bus is leased, then the company would have to make an immediate deposit of Tk.50,000 to
cover any damage during use. The lease would run for five years, at the end of which time the
deposit would be refunded. The lease would require as annual rental payment of Tk.2,00,000 (the
first payment is due at the end of year-1). As part of this lease cost, the manufacturer would
provide all servicing and repairs, license the Bus, and pay all taxes. At the end of the five year
period, the Bus would be reverted to the manufacturer as owner.
The cost of capital of the company is 18%.
Required:
(a)
Use the total cost approach to determine the present value of the cash flows associated with
each alternative. Ignore income taxes. The present value factor of Taka 1 at 18% cost of
capital for 1-5 years period is 3.127 while it is 2.174 for 1-3 years period and 0.516 for the 4 th
year and 0.437 for the 5th year.
(b)
Which alternative would you recommend that the company should accept? Why?

Instruments Companys required rate of return on investment is 20%. Other carrying costs
(insurance, materials handling and so on) will remain at Tk.4.50 per unit. Currently the Dhaka
Company has no stockout costs. Lower inventory levels from implementing JIT will lead to Tk.3 per
