Q. No. 5. (a) Why is the constant gross-margin percentage NRV method sometimes called a “joint-cost-

allocation and a profit-allocation” method? (b) Walton Bangladesh produces car seats for children from newborn to 2 years old. The company is

worried because one of its competitors has recently come under public scrutiny because of product failure. Historically, Walton’s only problem with its car seats was stitching in the straps. The problem can usually be detected and repaired during an internal inspection. The unit cost of the inspection is Tk. 50, and the repair cost is Tk. 10. All 100,000 car seats were inspected last year and 5% were found to have problems with the stitching in the straps during the internal inspection. Another 2% of the 100,000 car seats had problems with the stitching but the internal inspection did not discover them. Defective units that were skid and transported to customers needed to be transported back to Walton and repaired. Transporting cost per unit are Tk. 100, and repair cost are Tk. 10. However, the out-of-pocket costs (transporting and repair) are not the only costs of defects not discovered in the internal inspection. For 20% of the external failure, negative word of month will result in a loss of sales, lowering year’s sales by Tk. 5,000 for each of the 20% of units with external failures.

Required: (1) Determine the costs of quality by identifying (a) appraisal cost (b) internal failure cost (c) external

failure cost (both out-of-pocket and opportunity cost) for Walton Bangladesh. (2) Walton is concerned with the high up-front cost of inspecting all 100,000 units. It is considering an

alternative internal inspection plan that will cost only Tk. 15 per car seat inspected. During the internal inspection, the alternative technique will detect only 2.5% of the 100,000 car seats that have stitching problems. The other 4.5% will be detected after the car seats are sold and shipped. What are the total costs of quality for the alternative technique?

(3) What factors other than cost should Walton consider before changing inspection techniques? [Marks: (4+5+6+5) = 20]

Q. No. 4. (Contd……) (c) Black Cat Ltd. is considering diversifying its operations away from its main area of business (food

manufacturing) in to the plastic business. It wishes to evaluate an investment project, which involves the purchase of a moulding machine that Cost Tk. 450,000. The project is expected to produce net annual operating cash flows of Tk. 2,20,000 for each of the three years of its life. At the end of this time its scarp value will be zero.

The asset of the project will support debt finance of 40% of its initial cost (including issue cost). The loan to be repaid in three equal annual installments. The balance of finance will be provided

by a placing of new equity issue. Cost will be 5% of fund raised for the equity placing and 2% for the loan. The issue costs are allowable for corporate income tax.

The plastic business industry has an average equity beta of 1.368 and an average debt equity ratio of 1:5 at market values. Black Cat’s current equity beta is 1.8, and 20% of its long term capital is represented by debt which is generally regarded as to be risk free. The risk free is 10% p.a. and the expected return on an average market portfolio is 15%. Corporate income tax rate is 30%, payable one year in arrears. The machine will attract a 70% initial capital allowance and the balance is to be written off evenly over the three years and is allowable against tax. The firm is certain that it will earn sufficient profits against which to offset these allowances. Required: (i) Calculate the adjusted present value (APV) and determine whether the project is worthwhile. (ii) Explain why the adjusted present value technique is sometimes advocated as being a more

appropriate way of evaluating a project than net present value. [Marks: (4+6+7+3) = 20]

Q. No. 2. (Contd……)

City Bank receives 2.0% of the purchase amount from retail merchants when the AMEX card is used. Bad debts of the AMEX card in 2010 were 0.5% of the total purchases at retail merchants. Thus, City Bank nets 1.5% of the total purchases made using the AMEX card. City Bank had an interest spread of 9% in 2010 on the average outstanding balance on which interest is paid by its credit card holders. An interest spread is the difference between what City Bank receives from card holders on outstanding balances and what it pays to obtain the fund so used. Thus, on a Tk. 500 average annual outstanding balance in 2010, City Bank would receive Tk. 45 in interest revenues (9% of Tk. 500). Required: (i) Compute the customer profitability of the four representative credit card users of the AMEX card

for 2010. (ii) Develop profiles of the (a) profitable card holders, and (b) unprofitable card holders for the City

Bank. (iii) Should the City Bank charge its credit card holders for making enquiries (such as outstanding

balances of disputed charges) or for replacing lost or stolen cards? (iv) Mr. Mario, FCMA has an internal proposal that the City Bank should discontinue a sizeable

number of the low volume credit card customers. What factors should he consider in evaluating and responding to this proposal?

(v) Mr. Mario seeks your advice on an ethical issue he is facing. A chain of gambling casinos (Lucky Roller) has offered to provide AMEX card holders with money advances of up to Tk. 500 at its casinos. Mr. Mario observes that from a strict financial perspective, providing money advances to its customers would be highly profitable. Should AMEX card holders be able to obtain money advances at Lucky Roller gambling casinos? Explain briefly.

Q. No. 3.

Division L of the NAW Group is based in Farland. The management of Division L purchases products from various sources, including other divisions of the group, for subsequent resale. The manager of Division L has requested two alternative quotations from Division O in respect of the year ended 31 May 2013:

1. Quotation 1– Purchasing five million packs of ‘Awaysafe’.

2. Quotation 2– Purchasing nine million packs of ‘Awaysafe’.

The management of the NAW Group has made a decision that a minimum of 15 million packs of ‘Awaysafe’ must be reserved for Homeland customers in order to ensure that customer demand can be satisfied and the product’s competitive position is further established in the Homeland market.

The management of the NAW Group is willing, if necessary, to reduce the budgeted sales quantities of other products in order to satisfy the requirements of Division L. They wish, however, to minimize the loss of contribution to the group.

The management of Division L is aware of the availability of another product that competes with ‘Awaysafe’ which could be purchased at a local currency price that is equivalent to Tk.5·50 per pack. The NAW Group’s policy is that all divisions are allowed the autonomy to set transfer prices and purchase from whatever sources they choose. The management of Division O intend to use market price of Tk. 8.00 less 30% as the basis for each of the quotations.

Division O has the capacity to produce 15 million packs of unbranded “Painfree” which has the lowest contribution of Tk. 0.30 per pack with a marginal cost of Tk. 3.20 per pack. But currently Division O has been selling 11 million packs of unbranded “Painfree”.

Required:

(i) From the viewpoint of the NAW Group, comment on the appropriateness of the decision by the management of Division O to use an adjusted market price as a basis for the preparation of Quotations 1 and 2, and the implications of the likely decision by the management of Division L.

Q. No. 3. (Contd……)

(ii) Recommend the prices that should be quoted by Division O for ‘Awaysafe’, in respect of Quotations 1 and 2, which will ensure that the profitability of the NAW Group as a whole is not adversely affected by the decision of the management of Division L.

(iii) Discuss the proposition that transfer prices should be based on opportunity costs.

(iv) After much internal discussion concerning Quotation 2 by the management of the NAW Group, Division O is not prepared to supply nine million packs of ‘Awaysafe’ to Division L at a price lower than market price less 30%. All profits earned in Farland are subject to taxation at a rate of 20%. Division O pays tax in Homeland at a rate of 40% on all profits.

Advise the management of the NAW Group whether the management of Division L should be directed to purchase ‘Awaysafe’ from Division O, or purchase a similar product from a local supplier. Supporting calculations should be provided.
