I worked out the variable costs of producing the laptops (material costs and labour) think it came to £230 then took that away from the £350 and commented that the gross profit would be £120 a laptop and multiplied it up to give a profit figure on the year and said they should go for it.
I had a v random RONA figure for my reworked P&L - 139.23%! Not sure that was right...0 -

then showed 10000@ £350 the difference between 2 were the answer
then gave 2 reason why he should accept this offer
I said that they should accept the deal because it will increase the turnover and that they could produce more units since the current production capacity was for 60,000 units and they only were producing 50,000 at that stage before the deal.0 -
task 2.2 was no doubt a tough question if a lot of people struggled there will some adjustment in marking i hope so atleast0

Does it make sense? Anyone thought the same?
There was a favourable usage variance, meaning the quality of the material couldn't have been the only factor for the failure of the covers. I said the purchases manager may have bought lower quality materials, but the favourable usage meant the failure also had something to do with the workforce0 -

i almost commented the same thing that they have some capacity available so they should go for it0 -

Well.. yes but the favourable variance on the usage could have lead in not using enought material required for each unit... I think I said that as well. I do not know.0 -

I done something similar but worked out the contributionI had a v random RONA figure for my reworked P&L - 139.23%! Not sure that was right...
For the redrafted P&L I got 130.38%0 -
does nobody thinks that the time was too little for all these questions? you need time to think first about the situation in order to then reply correctly!
I noticed almost everybody where still there when the 3 hour were out!!0 -
i really struggeled to redraft the profit and loss account nd made a terrible mess of it a part from that rest of the questions i did well0

hmm i know it was bit shot on time ... plus task 1.1 and 1.2 really consumed a lot of my time0 -

I did the same, and with variable expenses being as low as I worked them out to be it was an obvious goer!LondonMatt wrote: »For the redrafted P&L I got 130.38%
Yeah - I got something similar. It seemed wrong.
I didn't want to be the first person to wonder if there was a mistake in the question in case everyone else said that the sponsorship cut profit or something like that, but...0 -
any body reckon the passing rate will go down ?0

That exam was HORRIBLE!
2.2, I said that they shouldn't take the Orange contract as they couldn't produce enough! Guessing that was wrong?! I thought they were already making 45,000 a year and this increased by 5,000 a month, so 60,000 more a year?! Did it actually say 5,000 a year?
Really don't think I've passed

That's my only hope!0 -
if some thing technically gets wrong with task 2.2 ... means there will be some adjustment in passing marks0

I do remember that was a small figure though probably less than £10,000 for the gross profit0 -

What did you do about the change in stock?0
-
-
yes thats what I worked out for unit costs. I was unsure about the closing stock so knocked 5000 units off of my production to reduce the closing stock figure by half. Think I made a mis-calculation somewhere along the way!LondonMatt wrote: »What price did you use for the labour and material cost per unit? £20 and £150 I think I used?0 -
