As part of CIE’s continual commitment to maintaining best practice in assessment, CIE uses
different variants of some question papers for our most popular assessments with large and
widespread candidature. The question papers are closely related and the relationships between
them have been thoroughly established using our assessment expertise. All versions of the
paper give assessment of equal standard.

The content assessed by the examination papers and the type of questions is unchanged.

This change means that for this component there are now two variant Question Papers, Mark
Schemes and Principal Examiner’s Reports where previously there was only one. For any
individual country, it is intended that only one variant is used. This document contains both
variants which will give all Centres access to even more past examination material than is usually
the case.

The diagram shows the relationship between the Question Papers, Mark Schemes and Principal
Examiners’ Reports that are available.

REQUIRED

(a) Calculate one year's total profit or loss.

[7]

The sales manager believes that if the selling price could be reduced to $75 per unit, an
additional 50 000 units would be sold.

The existing production of 150 000 units is based on a single day shift working a full day
without overtime. The sales manager believes that an evening shift might also be
introduced, using one-third of the number of workers employed on the day shift. This would
mean that an annual total of 200 000 units could be produced.

As a result of the changes, the following would take place:

1 To compensate for unsocial hours, evening shift workers will be paid an additional $2
per unit.

2 Variable overheads for the evening shift increase by 10 %.

3 Economies of scale mean that a discount of 15 % will be received on purchase of all


direct materials.

4 Fixed costs increase by $1 000 000.

All production will continue to be sold.

3 Garth Vader is a wholesaler who sells specialist cabinets. His fixed costs are $8 million. For
Examiner’s
He buys in cabinet 1 for $400 and sells it for $500. Use

As an alternative he is considering manufacturing the cabinets and has studied two methods
of production.

The manufacture of cabinet 2 relies more on labour whilst cabinet 3 relies more on machinery.
The costs would be as follows:

Cabinet 2 Cabinet 3
Variable costs per cabinet $240 $220
Additional fixed costs per production line $36 million $79.2 million

Proposed selling price per cabinet $480 $520

The additional fixed costs for cabinet 3 are higher as more expensive machinery has to be
leased and additional factory rent will be paid.

It is assumed, whichever option is chosen, that all production will be sold.

Only one type of cabinet will be sold.

REQUIRED

(a) (i) Calculate for cabinet 2 the number to be sold so that the total annual costs equal
the total purchase costs for cabinet 1.

3 Bilanben Ltd manufactures grass-cutting equipment. The following was the cost of
production for the year ended 31 December 2003, based on a normal capacity of 4500 units.

$
Direct Materials 157 500
Direct Labour 270 000
Variable Overheads 54 000
Fixed Overheads 125 000
606 500

There are 30 production workers who each work a 30-hour week and have two weeks
unpaid holiday per annum.

Additional costs, based on a production of 5000 units, are administrative overheads of


$140 000, of which 50% are fixed, and $150 000 for advertising.
Selling price is $250 per unit.

The Sales Director has suggested that during 2004 he can sell 5000 units at $250 each.
There are three options to fulfil this requirement.

Option 1
To introduce overtime. This would require a pay rise of 50% per hour after the normal
30 hours. There would also be an additional cash payment of $1.50 for each extra hour
worked.

Option 2
To hire new machinery for one year at a cost of $50 000. This would leave all variable costs
unchanged. This was already under consideration and $17 500 had been spent on market
research.

Option 3
To buy in the extra units at a cost of $200 each.

REQUIRED

(a) Calculate the net profit on the 2003 production of 4500 units, assuming all were sold.

2 Depreciation may be thought of as the difference between the cost of an asset and the For
amount received from it on disposal. Examiner’s
Use

The following extract from the schedule of non-current (fixed) assets applies to the year
ended 30 April 2009.

Non-current (fixed) assets Machinery Motor vehicles


$000 $000
Cost at 1 May 2008 4200 3200
Additions during year 1200 800
Disposals during year (700) (1000)
Cost at 30 April 2009 4700 3000

Depreciation at 1 May 2008 1560 840


Add charge for year 470 750
Less disposals for year (520) (800)
Depreciation at 30 April 2009 1510 790

Net book value at 30 April 2009 3190 2210

During the year ended 30 April 2010 the following took place:

1 New machinery costing $900 000 was purchased on 1 November 2009. Machinery,
which had cost $400 000 on 1 July 2005, was sold for $200 000 in December 2009.

2 Three new motor vehicles were purchased on 1 April 2010 for $280 000 each. Two motor
vehicles, which had been purchased on 1 March 2007, for $200 000 each, were taken in
part-exchange. The part-exchange allowance for each vehicle was $60 000.

3 One vehicle which had been purchased for $360 000 on 31 January 2009 was involved
in an accident on 2 December 2009. The insurance company decided that it could not
be repaired and gave compensation of $210 000.

Depreciation is charged for the full year on all non-current (fixed) assets held at the year-
end, using the straight-line method.

No depreciation is charged on a non-current (fixed) asset in the year of disposal.

Rates of depreciation have remained constant since the business began trading.

1 John, Georgina and Paul are in partnership but have no written partnership agreement.
The partners wish to expand the partnership, and require additional funds.

Their capital accounts at 1 May 2005 were as follows.

$
John 60 000
Georgina 45 000
Paul 45 000

Under the existing circumstances, profit of $67 500 is anticipated for the year ended
30 April 2006. There are two options for expanding the business, either of which is acceptable
to all three partners. The selected option would take effect from 1 May 2005.

The two options are:

(i) Borrow $75 000 from the bank at 12% interest per annum. The bank would require
repayment of $6750 at the end of each financial year, in addition to interest.
A manager would have to be employed at a wage of $15 000 per annum and profits
should increase by $27 000 before taking into account bank interest and the manager’s
salary.

(ii) Bring Ringo in as a partner. He would take on the role of manager and would provide
$75 000 of capital. Ringo would join the partnership, provided an agreement was drawn
up requiring interest on capital to be paid at 7.5% per annum.
Remaining profits would be split in the ratio 3:3:2:2, with John and Ringo receiving the
larger shares. Goodwill would be ignored and net profit would increase by $27 000.

REQUIRED

(a) For the year ended 30 April 2006, calculate the profit to be received by each partner
under option (i).

tables at $1100 each. However, his works manager has already produced the following Examiner's
Use
figures for 2009 based on the factory's current production of 8000 tables per annum.

$ $
Sales (8000 x $1100) 8 800 000

Direct materials 1 024 000


Direct wages 5 000 000
Production overhead 640 000
Sales overhead 480 000 7 144 000
Profit 1 656 000

All overheads are 50 % fixed, 50 % variable.

250 000 labour hours are worked.

There are 3 options under consideration which allow sales to increase to 10 000 tables.

Option 1
Purchase 2000 tables from another manufacturer at $920 each.

Option 2
Lease new and improved machinery at a cost of $260 000 for the year. This would allow
production of 10 000 tables per annum with no change in unit variable costs. This was
previously under consideration and $40 000 had been spent on a feasibility study.

Option 3
Using the existing machinery, introduce an evening shift thus providing an additional 62 500
labour hours. Wage rates for this shift would have to increase by 15 % to take into account
unsocial hours to be worked. Also the additional staff needed would have to be trained at a
cost of $50 000 - this cost to be absorbed in 2009.
