    This is a new question that has never been asked in the previous old EPSM

    Question 1

    Calculate and compare the forecast total accounting costs in the year following MEXIT under the restructured in-house option (A); to assess which option will be most economical for Telford Engineering in the future.

    Enter the accountancy department costs for Option A (to the nearest $M’000). For your answer only provide the first three numbers and do not include any symbols, for example, “543”.

    The way in which you can answer this question

    Total Accounting staff cost is $560

    Deduct the staff cost for the staff that will resign before MEXIT i.e
    -2 fully qualified staff at $45 each
    -2 Partially qualified at $30 each and
    -4 Technicians at $20 each

    Find the total accounting staff cost after MEXIT (exclusive the Head of Accountant)

    This cost will require a 10% increase
    The Total payroll cost after the initial increase require a 25% increase for overtime and temp workers

    The calculate the Total Accounting DEPARTMENT cost.
