Yeh BSC through me off what I did was
1.write general info about bsc and how it was so much better than the current PMR in reaching goals

2.how each of the 2 CSF/measure heading, now supported business goals and example KPI’s for each.
(One was customer satisfaction &the other learning and innovation or something like that.)

3.The 2 CSF\ measure headings had 3 metrics each under them essentially they weren’t detailed enough to be KPI’s. Like one just said customer surveys, so for each one basically added KPI, and said how it supports the business objectives

4 I read the question as you can add only 2 additional measure headings/CSF and then KPi these. I think the bar in new suggestions was mentioned , so you couldn’t rattleUp marks just suggesting new measures/CSF/kpis and had to critique the existing CSF/measure headings and come up with KPI to help align with business goals

Could be totally off but as was so many marks was the only logical way I could think to get that much marks

I don’t think that’s wrong. I still wrote how it’s helps in principal, as the earlier part of the question did show a more accurate allocation of overheads, when you had to do abc vs absorption costing

If you had fair reasoning you still get marks, others seem to have wrote of other solutions to still help them other than ABM, so assuming that’s all valid as well

As I couldn’t understand why they went into so much detail about just how terrible the company was set up “, but suggesting other ways does seem like what it may have been asking for but not sure either

Hi, I wrote basically What ABM is and where it’s most uselfel for, (business with higher overheads and wide product lines, helps makes decisions on each product etc.

said with only two products, the boots, it was overkill, and iis crucial needs good systems to identify the cost drivers . It’s needs a lot of time to put in etc and no staff have the time yada yada

And basically linking it to the scenario but saying all the various Failures show the company isn’t ready for ABM and the fact it had no spare cash to update its systems ABM simply wouldn’t work. if expanded further the warehouse cost I think it was

a lot of data the company already has is incorrect as a lot of manual intervention etc, basically so how can in handle a new implementation of ABM, they have bigger issues to solve long story short

This is in reply to your question hopeful, but might not be the same question, this one was about a winter boots company, one that only
Had two boots as it’s products and a whole range of issues with their business

Agree, some odd questions and some normal ones! For The odd ones the scenario kinda helped. Q1 was a full disposal, no? As lost control and went to singnificant influence (equity accounting)

Was this the one with a period of 16 months?

You had to split it up into two corp tax calcsl I’m sure. And watch how the adjustments affected each calc, one being 12 months and one being 4 months.

Correct me if I’m wrong though
