its a really long question i’ll just mention the name. STATIC CO (DECEMBER 2016)
q) (a) Prepare Static Co’s rolling budget for the next four quarters. ? (8 marks) i understand that in answer key they have used budgeted figures to calculate sales volume growth $13,694/13,425 x 100= 102% so 2% growth
but for gross profit they have used actual figure : GPM = $5,356/14,096 = 38% . why? i calculated it as 5370/13425 x 100= 40% whats the logic? same for distribution cost
Note (2) of the question says that the gross profit % will remain stable each quarter. That means that it will stay at the same % as it actually is currently.
Similarly, notes (3) says that the distribution cost will remain a fixed % of revenue – so it will remain the same % as currently.
