Hi Folks,

I was really shocked looking at ye're posts about this years accounting being really hard so, being involved in the whole accounting game myself, I had a look at the paper for myself.

I did the leaving a few years back so the predictions were rife then too (but our predictions were right:pac:)

I'm sick today so to pass the time I did the paper and I might as well share my answers with ye to cheer ye up. Really though, if ye have wrote anything they will give ye marks for it so don't give up all hope of A's yet!

All in all, yes some of the theory was a bit cat but the Q's themselves weren't as much hard but long.

I did Q1,Q6,Q7,Q8.

Question 8: Marginal Costing

The observant Slashman X has spotted a stupid mistake I made:
Corrections
FC = 122500
VC = 339500
VCPU = 24.25
Contribution PU = 40 - 24.25 = 15.75
All corrected now


(a) Marginal Costing Statement
Sales P.U. 40
VC....P.U. 24.25
Con...P.U. 15.75

(i) BEP = 122500/15.75 = 7778 units

MOS = 14000 - 7778 = 6222 units

(ii)
Sales - VC - FC = Profit
34000(38) - 34000(24.25) - 122500 = P
P = €345,000

(iii)
Sales - VC - FC = Profit
36n - 24.25n - 122500 = 20%(36n)
36n - 24.25n - 7.2n = 122500
n = 26924 units

(iv)
Increase in SPU = +2
=> Increase in VCPU = 5%(2) = 0.1

New VCPU = 24.25 + 0.1 + 1 (Packaging) = 25.35

Sales - VC - FC = Profit
42(19000) - 25.35(19000) - 122500 = 193,850

(v) Contribution Sales Ratio used for breakeven analysis

(b)
(i) Using Hi-Lo
Variable Cost of 8000 units is 48000 => VCPU = 6

=> Fixed Cost using 90% output = 114000 - 18000(6) = 6000

(ii)Using Hi-Lo
Variable Cost of 8000 units is 42000 => VCPU = 5.25

=> Fixed Cost using 90% output = 99000 - 18000(5.25) = 4500

(iii)
flexible Budget
Sales 19000 units............785000......41.32 PU
Less VC.........................631750......33.25 PU
Contribution...................153330........8.07 PU
Fixed Costs.....................35500
Net Profit......................117830

Where SPU found by:
Sales - VC - FC = Profit
19000S - 631750 - 35500 = 15%(19000S)
S = 41.32

Well Folks that's all I have for ye.

If ye've questions or you want a break down of where the numbers came from fire away or PM me

postalservice

Haha
These answers look familiar enough!( as in some )
Thanks

drunknmunky_69

aw sweet...i was really unsure about the first suspense working.i actually got it right.Thanks for the solutions

Slashman X

How did you get 62500 for the Fixed Costs in Marginal?

I think you forgot to add the 60,000 from the factory overheads

Arrrrrrrrrrrhhh

I guess we can't always get things perfect.

Fixed Costs in Marginal is of course the 62500 I said earlier and a 2 thirds of the Factory Overheads = 60000

=> Total Fixed Costs = 62500 + 60000 = 122500

=>VC = 339500...... => VCPU = 339500/14000 = 24.25

This of course has knock on effects on all the other answers but there's no way i'm doing it again (I already got my A1 )

Edit: Ok, though I swore I wouldn't I've corrected the answers anyway. I did it quickly so there still may be some errors left, but just ignore those, it's the method that counts

BEP is 7777 or something like that I believe

I hope you rounded the units up to 7778 (our teacher used to correct and went nuts at a fella once for not doing this, apparently you lose a mark if you round down, so I was told anyway!)

Of course I did

I just remembered the 7777.7777 on the calculator

alan4cult

I did too!

Just a quick look at some of the theory. :eek:;)

Q2:Adv of Control Accounts
1) Check on Accuracy
2) More speedily check and detect errors
3) used for incomplete records
4) can find totals of creditors/debtors quickly.

Q3: Use of special purpose P&L
- used to localise profit/loss making activities to enable better managment and control of different profit centres.

Q4: Contingent Liability:
NOt recorded in the accounts but included in the notes

Regulations: Companies Acts, EU directives, Stock Market regulations, Professional Standards.

Q6: Cash Flows
Profit vs Cash: Credit Sales/Purchases
Withdrawing Capital
Purchase A Fixed Asset
Depreciation/Timing Differences

Accounting Standards board: (I'd say this one really caught ye!)
-Part of the Financial Reporting Council with sole responsibility for setting accounting standards.
-Issues FRS's on differnent aspects of accounting practice to enable greater reliability and comparability between accounts.
-It has influenced the preparation of Cash Flow statements through FRS 1 (revised) which has introduced standard headings and methods for preparing such statements.

Q7: Suspense
Commission: Correct Side of the Wrong Account: e.g. Debtor A.Allen instead of B.Allen
Principle: Correct side of the wrond class of Account. e.g. Revenue Expenses e.g. Repairs recorded instead in an asset account.

Q8: Done already

Q9: Budgeting
Capital Budget used for making investment decisions. Aids the planning, decision making, and controlling of such investments. e.g. whether to start a new production line

Principal Budget Factor:
Availability of Raw Materials
Cash.


I'd say most of the theory will be worth very little to keep the grades in line with previous years. I bet those of you who think you've lost your A1's will still find yourselves with them in August.

That's hardly a definition... Plus contingent liabilities can be included in the accounts if they're likely to be incurred by the firm...

Question states:
State how the company would deal with a Contingent Liabilility which is possible but unlikely.
Note I was taking a shortcut when I titled it 'contingent liability' just so that you'd get the gist.

No definition required.

There's nothing wrong with what you said but the question said unlikely. Hence it is just included in the notes. I can quote you the standard if you wish.

Edit: Woo 600th Post!

Again if ye've any q's just ask:)

SimpleLogic

how did you get Investment……………………..……24000
for club account?

johnnyq

Grand,

There is no investment amount listed in the starting list but yet we have investment interest due there at the start, so we have to figure out what the investment is to include in the accumulated fund.

The €400 investment interest due refers to last year's interest and in total we were paid interest of €1600.

Since there is no interest outstanding at the end of the year we take it that the €1600 is the combination of the €400 at the start of the year and the interest payable in this year. i.e. €1200

If €1200 if the amount of interest we're due this year from the 5% return investment then €1200 = 5%
=> €24000 = 100%.

Slashman X

From Memory:

5% = 1600 (Interest)
100% = 24000

Those figures are probably wrong btw

SimpleLogic

alright kewl missed that 400 due bummer...

armbruster

Fair play to you for doing out all these accounts. Thanks, you've put my mind at rest concerning the published accounts!
I'm guessing your doing accounting/business in college?
