What about the maximum price for element in target costing Mcq?
March 8, 2017 at 9:25 pm #376844After reading this I’m fairly sure I got 100% in the exam π
March 8, 2017 at 9:36 pm #376846One more question, how did you structure q32? I just went through all the lines compared to targets and then stated if it was a key deliverable/core value?
March 8, 2017 at 10:10 pm #37685331qc. price variance 8190 favourable, material usage 19800 adverse, labour efficiency 8640 adverse. did somebody has the same?
March 8, 2017 at 10:11 pm #376854sorry, material price 8190 favourable
March 8, 2017 at 10:56 pm #376858Any one remember Section C question regarding balance scorecard advantage and performance measurement. Does anyone remember the mark allocation for the question?
March 8, 2017 at 11:02 pm #3768591st part 4 marks, 2nd 16
March 8, 2017 at 11:22 pm #376862I’m confused about the 2nd question section A. Was there answer Profit? I thought u chose that thinking it is a profit line. Or there was not such answer? I’m confused.
March 8, 2017 at 11:28 pm #376864Sorry I was meaning I chose not u..
What do you think guys? Or is it Fixed costs?March 8, 2017 at 11:32 pm #376865q31 was difficult for me compared to MCQ. I panicked when I couldn’t find actual rate per labour hour! I still don’t know how to do this question. I think I did maybe 20% of it. So I’m not sure if I pass… can anyone write how they did it all material and all labout variances.. please.
March 8, 2017 at 11:36 pm #376866I thought is 3 mark for the 1st part and 7 mark for the second requirement.
Best wishes for all of Acca opentution studentsMarch 8, 2017 at 11:44 pm #376869Thatgirl: 100 % agree I spent too much time trying to figure out what is budget and what is actual and couldn’t find any!
I really hate questions with all data scattered between lines! That was the challenge! I end up writing the names of variances only with no calculations! I remember that labour variance was only about operational and planning. Hope I get mark for my writing!March 9, 2017 at 12:08 am #376870Yeah I wrote something like material price variance is favourable in 2nd part of the question and material usage adverse just because I could see logically that price fell from 3 to 2.85 per 1 dress and usage increased from 2 meters to 2.2. But I don’t think I have done correct calculations.
I also didn’t know how to calculate tpar in MCQ section B because I couldn’t understand how to ca lculate factory cost ratio = factory costs/ limited resource hours. How to absorb factory costs ?
While writing this I think I just realized how I should have done it… instead of absorbing I should have calculated return on throughput = (sales – direct material )/limited resource hours by not taking per unit but in total!
Is it correct?March 9, 2017 at 12:11 am #376871Does anyone remember question 8, which asked which costs were the indirect costs?
I ran out of time and had to have a quick guess, first I had 45 then I changed it to 36.March 9, 2017 at 12:13 am #376873For MCQ 2, I don’t think it’s fixed costs. Because fixed costs is a constant horizontal line on the graph, just checked the books to reconfirm. It should be either profit or revenue – fixed cost. I think revenue- fixed cost made most sense to me at the time
March 9, 2017 at 12:13 am #376874Lolabun,
There were 2 costs. 36 and 9 and I think in total it was 45. I might be wrong though.March 9, 2017 at 12:15 am #376875Lolabun, I wasn’t sure about that one so I had to guess. Didn’t include the clerk’s salary because it was directly related to collecting and collating the information so chose the apportionment of the insurance cost only,9….I’m probably mistaken
March 9, 2017 at 12:16 am #376876Q re only indirect cost I think was 9000 did anyone else get that. All other costs were direct??
March 9, 2017 at 12:18 am #376877pmon4, that’s what i got

What about the maximum price for element in target costing Mcq?I got 75 for the target cost. I think it was 130 and 30 (target price) and gross profit margin for the total was 64 and for the food alone was 9, so the gross profit margin desired on the accomodation was 55. So 130 – 55 = 75
March 9, 2017 at 12:24 am #376880Rohvj,
Ok yeah that makes sense now. I chose profit.
If revenue – fixed costs = $0 (where it crosses X axiz at N number of units) then revenue must be equal to fixed costs right? And if there is any revenue (due to production of N number of units) there must be some variable cost involved again because N number of units were produced. Therefore the costs can’t be $0 at N number of units. It should be negative due to variable cost.March 9, 2017 at 12:26 am #376881I got 75 too
March 9, 2017 at 12:30 am #376882I included clerks salary 36 to indirect costs because in the note it said it is fixed costs..meaning that it should be absorbed.. that’s why I thought it is indirect then.. I don’t know if that’s right logic
March 9, 2017 at 12:30 am #376883thatgirl,
yeah that might be right, I’m not sure. Cause the way I did it was to identify the breakeven point on the chart and the point where the line z met the x-axis… thought at the point, it looked to me like revenue was lesser than total cost, so it should have been a loss but since the line was at 0. I assumed it was revenue-fixed cost. It’s quite confusing because I can’t seem to find a reference graph
March 9, 2017 at 12:35 am #376884Actually, I think it’s the profit line
