Decision making produce or buy 2. Target costing 3. Seasonal variation 4. Variances 5. ROI and RI

Here are some discussions.
1. Decision making make or buy. Is the answer to make ?
and how many to make given the constrain, is it to make 100,000 screens and 50,000 keypads and outsource 50,000 keypads ?
2. For variation , are you supposed to use regressions ? are the data points the centred points or the original points ?

For the time series one I think I got 1150 and 1560? :-/

Yes i got 100000 screens make, 50000 keypad make & 50000 outsource :)

I thought the target costing question 2 was tricky.

I find it odd that i didnt use it :(

And we had to forecast sales for Q3 & Q4.

For theory, the topics tested were: steps to set target cost, Standard cost vs. TQM, behavioral aspects of budgeting, effect of using solely ROI for decision-making, difference between service & manufacturing.. A few more i cant remember

They really made you work for every mark!

I got make 100k of whichever took 0.5 labour hrs, 66.667k of whichever took 0.75 labour hours = all labour hours used. Then out
source the remainder. I just went on common sense and use efficiency of the limiting resource, but I thing we were supposed to calculate variable cost for both (K + S, in house and outsourced) to help answer the question.

Q3) Totally messed up the seasonal variation bit, and ran out of time for that lovely part B on budgets for 10marks.

I know/think I answered the other three questions 1,2,4 well, so hopefully it’s evened out for a pass… :s

Forecast – did not touch it …. ,wrote a lot for the theory parts… , the varainces were giving me a difference of 480 …..and overall NIGHTMARE!good luck guys to pass.
