1、ACCA 考试 F5 业绩管理真题 2010 年 12 月及答案解析(总分：100.01，做题时间：180 分钟)一、ALL FIVE questions a(总题数：5，分数：100.00)Carad Co is an electronics company which makes two types of televisions plasma screen TVs and LCD TVs. It operates within a highly competitive market and is constantly under pressure to reduce prices. Car

2、ad Co operates a standard costing system and performs a detailed variance analysis of both products on a monthly basis. Extracts from the management information for the month of November are shown below: Note Total number of units made and sold 1,400 1 Material price variance $28,000 A 2 Total labou

3、r variance $6,050 A 3 Notes (1) The budgeted total sales volume for TVs was 1,180 units, consisting of an equal mix of plasma screen TVs and LCD screen TVs. Actual sales volume was 750 plasma TVs and 650 LCD TVs. Standard sales prices are $350 per unit for the plasma TVs and $300 per unit for the LC

4、D TVs. The actual sales prices achieved during November were $330 per unit for plasma TVs and $290 per unit for LCD TVs. The standard contributions for plasma TVs and LCD TVs are $190 and $180 per unit respectively. (2) The sole reason for this variance was an increase in the purchase price of one o

5、f its key components, X. Each plasma TV made and each LCD TV made requires one unit of component X, for which Carad Cos standard cost is $60 per unit. Due to a shortage of components in the market place, the market price for November went up to $85 per unit for X. Carad Co actually paid $80 per unit

6、 for it. (3) Each plasma TV uses 2 standard hours of labour and each LCD TV uses 15 standard hours of labour. The standard cost for labour is $14 per hour and this also reflects the actual cost per labour hour for the companys permanent staff in November. However, because of the increase in sales an

7、d production volumes in November, the company also had to use additional temporary labour at the higher cost of $18 per hour. The total capacity of Carads permanent workforce is 2,200 hours production per month, assuming full efficiency. In the month of November, the permanent workforce were wholly

8、efficient, taking exactly 2 hours to complete each plasma TV and exactly 15 hours to produce each LCD TV. The total labour variance therefore relates solely to the temporary workers, who took twice as long as the permanent workers to complete their production. Required:（分数：20.00）(1).(a)Calculate the

9、 following for the month of November, showing all workings clearly: (i) The sales price variance and sales volume contribution variance; (6 marks) (ii) The material price planning variance and material price operational variance; (2 marks) (iii) The labour rate variance and the labour efficiency var

10、iance. (7 marks)（分数：10.00）_(2).(b)Explain the reasons why Carad Co would be interested in the material price planning variance and the material price operational variance. (5 marks)（分数：10.00）_1.The Accountancy Teaching Co (AT Co) is a company specialising in the provision of accountancy tuition cour

11、ses in the private sector. It makes up its accounts to 30 November each year. In the year ending 30 November 2009, it held 60% of market share. However, over the last twelve months, the accountancy tuition market in general has faced a 20% decline in demand for accountancy training leading to smalle

12、r class sizes on courses. In 2009 and before, AT Co suffered from an ongoing problem with staff retention, which had a knock-on effect on the quality of service provided to students. Following the completion of developments that have been ongoing for some time, in 2010 the company was able to offer

13、a far-improved service to students. The developments included: A new dedicated 24 hour student helpline An interactive website providing instant support to students A new training programme for staff An electronic student enrolment system An electronic marking system for the marking of students prog

14、ress tests. The costs of marking electronically were expected to be $4 million less in 2010 than marking on paper. Marking expenditure is always included in cost of sales Extracts from the management accounts for 2009 and 2010 are shown below: On 1 December 2009, management asked all freelance lectu

15、rers to reduce their fees by at least 10% with immediate effect (freelance lecturers are not employees of the company but are used to teach students when there are not enough of AT Cos own lecturers to meet tuition needs). All employees were also told that they would not receive a pay rise for at le

16、ast one year. Total lecture staff costs (including freelance lecturers) were $41663 million in 2009 and were included in cost of sales, as is always the case. Freelance lecturer costs represented 35% of these total lecture staff costs. In 2010 freelance lecture costs were $12394 million. No reductio

17、n was made to course prices in the year and the mix of trainees studying for the different qualifications remained the same. The same type and number of courses were run in both 2009 and 2010 and the percentage of these courses that was run by freelance lecturers as opposed to employed staff also re

18、mained the same. Due to the nature of the business, non-financial performance indicators are also used to assess performance, as detailed below. NOTE: Clearly state any assumptions and show all workings clearly. Your answer should be structured around the following main headings: turnover; cost of s

19、ales; gross profit; indirect expenses; net operating profit. However, in discussing each of these areas you should also refer to the non-financial performance indicators, where relevant. (20 marks)（分数：20.00）_The Cosmetic Co is a company producing a variety of cosmetic creams and lotions. The creams

20、and lotions are sold to a variety of retailers at a price of $2320 for each jar of face cream and $1680 for each bottle of body lotion. Each of the products has a variety of ingredients, with the key ones being silk powder, silk amino acids and aloe vera. Six months ago, silk worms were attacked by

21、disease causing a huge reduction in the availability of silk powder and silk amino acids. The Cosmetic Co had to dramatically reduce production and make part of its workforce, which it had trained over a number of years, redundant. The company now wants to increase production again by ensuring that

22、it uses the limited ingredients available to maximise profits by selling the optimum mix of creams and lotions. Due to the redundancies made earlier in the year, supply of skilled labour is now limited in the short-term to 160 hours (9,600 minutes) per week, although unskilled labour is unlimited. T

23、he purchasing manager is confident that they can obtain 5,000 grams of silk powder and 1,600 grams of silk amino acids per week. All other ingredients are unlimited. The following information is available for the two products: Cream Lotion Materials required: silk powder (at $220 per gram) 3 grams 2
