Glad to see it, but a bit chilling!!!
Anyone know when the model answers will come up?
Or will that have to wait until after the result?blockquote> @manjula93 said:

Thanks.@4152marky said:
Sorry to say mate. But there was no slack as the optimum point was the intersection of the labour and material constraints, That will explain your stange results for the shadow price.Yes, the question said ‘manipulate’, which implys that he would do something like hold a new membership rather that something fraudulent or illegal.

Well… actual changing the data in the computer is not only unethical but straightforward fraud.
I think the exeminer (Pami Bahl) was thinking in a different line.
I have given an example that in the 4th qtr the manager was only one training short from his target to get his bonus for that period. He can give that lesson away for free and get his money. It is unethical since it will incur cost for the company without having a corresponding income. It would not be done to boost sale but only watching his own interest.Thats funny! I said the opposite. I said that the PM was acting for short term and individual gain and that he was putting in jeopardy the whole ethos of the company which stood for quality goods made in a traditional way, as proved by the other manager walking out.

I never thought about it like that, doh!!!!I aslso said that he should have used the cheaper supplier to renegoiate with his existing supplier.
As said you could take this paper any way you want. There were a lot of questions that without further detail you could interpret it whatever way you want.
I was happy enough with the the paper until I read all these comments.
I said the shadow price of tailors time was nil because there was slack – the line was outside the optimum.
I also go a really wierd shadow price for material.I go confuses with the idle time in the variance question and the different figures for production and sales.
Even the ABC question seems to have gone wrong as I stupidly sugested ways other than costs + instead of talking about skimming, penetration etc. How could I have done something so stupid.
Q5 is a blur as I was out of time and my writing was crazy.
Glad I looked at this – otherwise I would have spent the summer thinking I passed and would be bitterly disappointed in August.
Overall, it looked easy on the surface, but there were some curve balls.
