(c) Explain what is meant by ‘Patents’ and why it is customary to write them off over a number of years.

Patents are a copyright or ownership of a trade mark, name, invention, procedure etc that you have discovered & wish to hold exclusive rights to. It is an intangible fixed Asset of a business & is usually written off as they are a “Transient asset”. They are subject to decreases in their value due to new processes being developed which would make yours obsolete & of less value.

• Turned around deficit of €45,000 last YR to profit €12,630 this year • Land & Building more than sufficient security for loan even after using Debentures. • Working capital/Current Ratio 1.2 shows it hasn’t got cash flow problems • 5% Investments can be sold if all else fails.

(c) Explain what is meant by term solvency and how it can be measured? Solvency is the ability of an organisation to pay its debts from available current assets. It shows if a firm has cash flow problems and can avoid the possibility of creditors forcing the business into liquidation. Solvency is measured by using the Current Ratio (Current Assets: Current Liabilities) which has to have a min. answer of 1, and a further more severe test of liquidity using the Acid Test (Current Assets less Closing stock: Current liabilities) to show ability to meet debts in the short term.

Report • Grocery dept. is making a profit of €236,910 which represents a 30% return on sales (Gross profit

margin 56%) • Hardware dept. returns a 17.6% net profit % on sales with a gross margin of 51% • While both are profit making and performing well in a difficult economic climate it would not be

inclined to close either dept. If however pressurised through cash flow problems or credit restrictions, Hardware would be the most likely to close down as a 17.6% return is over 40% less a return that the Grocery dept. of 30%.

(d) The Club intends to undertake Capital Expenditure of €80,000 in the year 2012. Would you anticipate any difficulties in the funding of such a project?

Funding for a Capital Expenditure Programme can be sourced as follows:

€Realisation/Sale of Investments: 37,000Term Loan 43,000Capital Required: 80,000

The Club should have no difficulty in obtaining the required funding for the following reasons: 1. Investment can be sold realising €37,000. 2. A Term Loan (€43,000), possibly over 3/5 years, should be easily obtained from any financial institution,

as Club is a profitable concern with excellent security in the form of its Land and Clubhouse. 3. Based on the financial results for the year 2012, the Club had a Profit/Excess of Income of €16,505.

When this is added to the Depreciation €18,800, a non-cash item, it would indicate a Cash Inflow from Operating Activities in the region of €35,305. This shows that the Club, based on existing performance, is even capable of repaying the Term Loan within 2 years.

on bank O/D facilities. O/D currently over 90,000, so surplus of 200,000 must be used immediately to alleviate cash flow problems. Repayment of O/D should solve liquidity problems and reduce accumulated interest on this loan.

128 Graded Accounting Questions – Solutions

(d) How might power improve the overall profitability of the farm? The sheep operation should be ceased and the five acres transferred to the other two enterprises. The Bedding Plants seems to be the most profitable, yielding a profit of €42,600 from only 35 acres. The

cattle and milk enterprise is profitable, yielding €152,200 but from 260 acres. The farmer, Donal Power, should investigate the possibility of expanding his bedding plant operation

contracting his cattle and milk operation. He might also consider agri-tourism for the five acres presently used in sheep production.

(e) Write a brief comment on the profitability of this business. The Return on Capital employed is not very high (i.e. the profit as a % of the resources invested in the

business.)Net Profit " Interest

This is much too low as risk free investment in the bank would yield a similar return.

(b) 1. Explain why earning profit does not always result in a corresponding increase in cash balances. Credit sales/purchases affect profit but do not affect cash. Non cash losses and gains affect profit but not cash Purchase and sale of fixed assets by cash affect cash but not profit Introduction or withdrawal of capital in cash affect cash but not profit.

2. Write a note on the Accounting Standards Board. The Accounting Standards Board issues new accounting standards called FRS ie. Financial Reporting

Standards. FRS requires large companies to prepare Cash Flow Statements for each activity period and that

individual cash flows be entered under the standard headings (ORTCEMF) according to the activity that gives rise to them.

e.g. Goodwill often omitted. • Shows external situation but does not show profit from different departments etc. • Emphasis on past results and present position changes by the time accounts are prepared. Different

methods of Asset valuation, finance structure etc. • Accounts can be shown to be unrepresentative of usual position, window dress balance sheet, create

secret reserves thereby reducing Net Profit.

(b) Profitability • ROCE for 2012 is 8.8% which is 3 to 4 times the return from risk free investment in the bank. However

this profitability has disimproved from 10% last year which shows a less efficient use of resources. • Gross margin has also fallen from 28% to 24.7% which is also a poor indicator. • While Artison is a profitable business able to generate profits for interest payments the trend of profits

declining by 12% would certainly worry debenture holders.

Dividend Policy • DPS for 2012 is 7.5 c up 50% from last years 5 c together with a real rate of return of 4.64% would not

please debenture holders. • The dividend cover is only 1.6 times which indicates that two thirds of the profits generated by the

company have been distributed to the ordinary shareholders with little or no provision for the repayment of debentures.

161Topic 11 Interpretation of a/c’s Solutions

Liquidity • Artisan is insolvent as the Current ratio of .96 (down from 1.2) indicates the co. is unable to pay its

debts for the year. This ratio is well down the recommended fig of 2:1. • The Acid test shows the company is illiquid and has only 54 c in every €1 available to pay short term

debts. This is significantly down from .75 of last year. • Artisan has serious cash flow problems with the ability to pay interest a very immediate worry.

Gearing • Company is lowly geared at 41.3%, improved from 44% which would please debenture holders. • Interest cover has also fallen from 6 times last year to 4.57 times this year. • Gearing/interest cover is satisfactory though not exceptional and debenture holders would be concerned

that not enough funds are being generated to provide for redemption of their loan.

Share Price/Stock exchange performance • Market price has fallen from €2.8 to €2.6 showing a lack of confidence in the company by the market.

When you factor in other indicators such as EPS falling from 14 c to 12 c this year and a very poor P/E ratio of 21.66 years prospects and market sentiment for Artisan are not positive.

Sector Competition from large multinational distributors will make for difficult market conditions in this sector.

Security Fixed assets of 570,000 provide adequate security for the debentures in the event of liquidation although

one would question the real value of the fixed asset, as no depreciation has been written off. The fact that Artisan only has €76,500 in Reserves available to pay back debentures in 2 years’ time is a major worry.

(c) 1. A rising liquidity ratio is not always a sign of good management. High liquidity indicates that it is easier to pay short term debts on time and avail of cash discounts.

However high liquidity means too much cash is tied up in liquid assets when they could be earning more profits. Extra cash could be invested wisely to gain a return.

2. Possible reasons for declining Gross Profit % • Unrecorded cash sales. • Closing stock undervalued/opening stock overvalued. • Price reduction. • Increase in purchase price. • More favourable terms offered to debtors e.g. increased cash discount. • Stock deterioration, pilferage, breakage etc.

(b) Profitability • ROCE for 2012 increased from 10.5% to 11.2% which is 3 to 4 times the return from risk free

investment in the bank. This shows a more efficient use of resources in 2012. • Return on Equity also increased from 12% to 14% in 2012. • Bocasan is a profitable business able to generate profits for interest payments the trend of profits

increasing would certainly please the bank. It is generating sufficient profit to meet interest payments from the bank.

Security • Fixed assets of €495,000 (€310,000 after secured debentures) are available as security for the loan

although the real value of these assets must be questioned as no depreciation has been written off. However Intangible assets of €285,000 although not realizable are a good sign of extra security.

Liquidity • Current ratio of 1.27 (down form 1.3) indicates the co. is solvent and able to pay its debts for the year.

This ratio of well down the recommended fig of 2:1. • The Acid test has also fallen form .9 to .83 and shows the company is illiquid and has only 83 c in every

€1 available to pay short term debts. • Bocasan has cash flow problems with the ability to pay interest a very immediate worry, notwithstanding

their ability to meet the extra €20,000 interest on the new loan.

163Topic 11 Interpretation of a/c’s Solutions

Gearing • Gearing has improved from 49% to 47% this year which shows the company is lowly geared. This would

increase to 57% after the loan and make Bocasan highly geared. • Interest cover has increased from 4.8 times to 4.9 but this would fall to only 3 times after loan is granted. • Gearing/interest cover is satisfactory though not exceptional and the bank would be concerned that these

fig are not strong enough to warrant granting the loan.

Share Price/Stock exchange performance The share price increased from €2.60 to €2.85 this year and with EPS of 20 c shows market confidence in

the company even though it has a poor PE ratio of 40 years.

Sector The tourist industry is going through difficulties at the moment as Ireland is perceived as being expensive. The increased value of the € has also worsened Ireland’s competitiveness.

Redemption Debentures will be redeemed in 2015 and there is no Debenture Redemption Reserve set aside for this

purpose. Because of poor gearing, profitability and liquidity a bank loan would not be recommended.

(c) What action would you advise Bocasan to take? 1. Issue further ordinary shares to raise finance rather than borrow from bank. (200,000 ordinary shares

available). 2. Reduce dividend on order to improve liquidity. 3. Improve gross profit % by reducing cost of sales or increasing selling price. 4. Sale and leaseback of fixed assets to raise finance. This could possibly generate over €400,000.

(b) Profitability • ROCE for 2012 at 10.3% is 3 times the return from risk free investment in the bank. Profitability has disimproved from 12% last year-less efficient use of resources. • Gross margin fallen from 32.5 to 29.7% which is also a poor indicator. • While condor is a profitable business able to generate profit to meet dividends the trend of profits

declining by 14% would certainly worry ordinary shareholders.

Dividend Policy • DPS of 6.1 for 2012 up from last years 5 c shows a generous dividend policy as markets now paying less

than 3 c per share. • The Dividend cover of 2.8 times with the dividend yield of 1.69% and real of return 4.7% represent

good practice. • Dividend policy is generous but would be questioned as they have serious liquidity problems.

165Topic 11 Interpretation of a/c’s Solutions

Liquidity • Condor is insolvent as the Current ratio of .6 indicates the co. is unable to pay its debts for the year. The

ratio is well down the rec. fig of 2:1. • The Acid test show the company is illiquid and has only 26 c every €1 available to pay short term debts. • Condor has serious cash flow problems and could face liquidation if creditors €135,000 apply to have

debts paid immediately. With a further €39,500 due in dividends it is difficult to know it is going to get the cash from keep the business operating.

Creditors could demand a receiver be appointed.

Sector Any business currently supplying the construction sector is struggling at present with the severe downturn

in this industry through oversupply and overpricing.

Gearing • Company was lowly geared at 44% last year but has risen to 50% i.e. capital employed from outside

sources this year. • Interest cover, i.e. ability to meet debt charges, excellent at 7 times although down on last year’s figure of

8.8 times. • The company is close to being highly geared which adds to liquidity problems of too much outside debt

and the cost of service. It also increases the likelihood of a receiver being appointed.

Share Price Stock exchange performance Share price has not increased from €3.60 even through EPS went up 13 c to 17 c and DPS 5 c to 6.1 c.

Together with a poor P.E. ratio of 20.7 shows lack of market confidence in this company on the stock market.

(c) Advise the bank manager as to whether a loan of €150,000 at 10% interest should be granted to Condor for further expansion.

• Debentures of €300,000 are due to be repaid within 3 to 4 year and Condor will struggle to find this cash for redemption of Debentures.

• Security of fixed assets €830,000 after Debentures €530,000 seems sufficient although one would question the accuracy of these figures as no depreciation has been provided on these.

• Company will be highly geared after the loan at 56% which carries many risk also interest cover will fall to 4 times.

• Liquidity ratio .26 will worsen further as a result of extra interest of €15,000 p.a. • Purpose for which loan is required had to be income generating. • Construction industry is possibly the worse area to be involved in at the present as prices are falling due

to oversupply of units. Recommendation: Refuse loan application.

(b) Profitability • ROCE has fallen from 13.4% last year to 11.46% this year which is still 3 to 4 times the return from

risk free investment in the bank. However this profitability has disimproved from 10% last year which shows a less efficient use of resources.

• Return on Equity also down from 15.6% to 15% although higher than Pref. 8% # Debentures 9%. • While Artison is a profitable business able to generate profits for interest payments the trend of profits

declining by 12% would certainly worry ordinary shareholders.

Dividend Policy • DPS for 2012 is 6 c down from 12.2c in 2011, a major disimprovement. • The dividend cover is 2.76 times which indicates that one third of the profits generated by the company

have been distributed to the ordinary shareholders. • Dividend yield is 4.3 % and real rate of return is 12%, both of which are very favourable returns.

Liquidity • Current ratio has fallen from 1.45 to 1.16 shows the business to be barely solvent and well down on

recommended fig of 2:1. • The Acid test shows the company is illiquid and has only 55 c in every €1 available to pay short term

debts. This is significantly down from 1.1 of last year. • Delgado has serious cash flow problems in the short term with the ability to pay creditors a very

immediate worry. With the risk of a receiver being appointed if creditors demand immediate payment.

Gearing • Company is lowly geared at 34%, not overly committed to outside finance. • Interest cover is 9.56 times showing Delgado is able to meet its debt charges very easily. • Gearing/interest cover are both very healthy with little outside debt commitments and charges.

Share Price/Stock exchange performance • Market price has fallen from €1.58 to €1.45 showing a lack of confidence in the company by the market.

Although EPS of 17 c and PE of 8.5 are very good and may reassure investors on the stock market.

Investments These are now only worth €115,000, a drop of 12% from cost price of €131,000. This indicates poor

management decision.

(c) The Net Profit percentage was 12.5% in 2010. Calculate the percentage figure for Net

Profit percentage 117,500 $ 100 _____________ 975,000 ! 12.05%, and give 3 reasons for any change. 1. Cash/stock losses 2. Mark down of prices e.g. sale 3. Incorrect stock valuation 4. Increase in expenses 5. Change in sales mix

How can a falling net profit percentage be corrected? 1. Record all cash transactions 2. Control expenses 3. No Price reductions

(b) Profitability • ROCE for 2012 is 7% which is almost twice the return from risk free investment in the bank. However

the projected profitability of 8.9% for next year shows a more efficient use of resources. • Return on Equity is a very poor 4.5% which compares unfavourably with Debentures return of 8%. • Ordinary shareholders would be unhappy with current but encouraged by projected profitability.

Dividend Policy • DPS for 2012 is 3 c and expected to decrease to 2.4 c for next year. • The dividend cover is only 1.12 times which indicates that two thirds of the profits generated by the

company have been distributed to the ordinary shareholders and a very small % of profits are being retained.

• Dividend yield is a disappointing 2.5% less than the 3 to 4% available in the banks.

Liquidity • Eliza is solvent with a Current ratio of 1.41 indicates the co. is able to pay its debts for the year. This

ratio is well down the recommended fig of 2:1. • The Acid test shows the company is barely liquid and has 95 c in every €1 available to pay short term

debts. Projected cash flow problems ahead for Eliza as Acid test is to fall to 0.8 for next year.

Gearing • Company is highly geared at 58% which would worry ordinary shareholders especially as it will only

worsen to 66% for next year. • Interest cover due to disimprove from 2.4 to 1.4 times which is a major worry. • The trend in Gearing is unsatisfactory as ordinary shareholders will be concerned with the dilution of

control and the burden of high debt.

Share Price/Stock exchange performance • Market price is €1.20 but projected to fall by over 20% to 96 c next year. • Market confidence in Eliza is weak as EPS is projected to go down from 5 to 4. c and PE Ratio very poor

showing company profits taking 40 years to accumulate the worth of the share.

Sector Competition from large multinational distributors will make for difficult market conditions in this sector.

Investments Shareholders would be disappointed with the loss on investments down from €168,000 to €130,000.

(c) Limitations of Final Accounts as a means of presentation 1. Based on historical costs rather than current market value. Only monetary aspects displayed e.g.

Goodwill often omitted. 2. Shows external situation but does not show profit from different departments etc. 3. Emphasis on past results and present position changes by the time accounts are prepared. Different

methods of Asset valuation, finance structure etc. 4. Accounts can be shown to be unrepresentative of usual position. Eliza can window dress the balance

sheet and create secret reserves thereby reducing Net Profit.

(b) Liquidity • Current Ratio 1.67, solvent, able to pay debts for year but down on recommended ratio of 2:1 • Acid increased .9 to 1.1, liquid in short term, able to pay €1.09 in every €1 owed. • No cash flow problems, new shareholders confident they will receive dividends and be able to pay debts

when they fall due.

Profitability • Return on Investment 9.2% last year up to 11.2% this year. This is approx 4 times the return on risk free

investment available in banks of 2–3%. Real rate of return is also a very acceptable 9%. • Return on Equity 8% last year up to 12.5% this year compares very favourably with a Debenture return

of 9% and Preference return of 10% in this company. • These very satisfactory returns will ensure shareholders of the company’s ability to pay dividends at year

end.

Dividend Policy • DPS increased 9.4 c which is way above industrial average of 2–3 cent per share. • Dividend cover 3.6 shows ability to pay dividends and also sufficient retained earnings to create reserves. • Generous dividend policy would encourage prospective shareholders to buy these shares as would

dividend yield of 6% Real Rate of Return of 21.8%.

Gearing • Lowly geared 44.2% a slight improvement from last year 45% shows less dilution of control. • A 7.7 times interest cover (10 last year) shows Fulcum’s ability to take on more debt if desired. • Low interest charges would reassure shareholders of high dividends, low debt service charges and greater

control of the company.

Performance/Share price • Share price €1.55 up from €1.20 last year, EPS 14.3 c and PE 10.8 are all excellent stock exchange

indicators which will enhance share price though increased demand.

Sector • Tourism in Ireland is still very strong and this provides the opportunity to prospective shareholders of

getting involved in a very vibrant industry. However one would be concerned with (i) Ireland being described as expensive also (ii) a growing no. of Irish holiday abroad (iii) a strong €makes Ireland less attractive.

Return • 200,000 shares @ 20 c ! €40,000 profit gross would be made if shares bought are disposed of

immediately. • 200,000 shares represents a 29% ownership in Fulcum which could yield control and a possible

directorship if shareholder decides to hold shares. I would recommend the purchase of shares.

(c) Dangers associated with High Gearing 1. Dilution of control away from the ordinary shareholders 2. High debt charges i.e. interest on debentures and preference dividend which must be paid 3. Poor credit rating in the event of a loan application

(b) Debenture holders 1. Liquidity • Current Ratio 1.5 shows Gable is solvent & able to pay debts for year but down on Rec. fig of 2:1. • Add Test shows business is illiquid and only able to pay 69 c in every € owed & expected to worsen to

59 c for next year. • Debenture holders worried they will not receive their interest as business has cash flow problems. 2. Profitability • Return or capital employed 23% is excellent but expected to fall to 18.9% next year. Still 5–6 times

return you would get on risk free investment in bank. • Gross Profit % to fall from 60% to 40% next year is of major concern to debenture holders. • Projected profit decreases are a worry even in a depressed economic climate as it limits Gable’s ablility

to meet debt payments. 3. Gearing stands at 38% i.e. lowly geared. Very positive sign although to increase to 44% still makes co. a

low risk especially as if is able to cover interest 8 times for next year. 4. Reserves.

Co. has set aside 40,000 in reserves to pay back Debentures in 3/4 yrs times. Although this is reassuring, it is only 28% of total Debentures.

5. Sector. Transport haulage is a very competitive & increasingly expensive business to run with the spiralling costs

of diesel & oil rising. 6. Performance on stock exchange is excellent with EPS 44, P/E 4.6 although market confidence set to

decline as share price & EPS projected to fall to €1.90 & 36 c. respectively. 7. Dividend Policy is generous to ordinary shareholder with DPS 10.5 (8.2. next year) Div Cover 3.3 times

and a Real Rate of Return an excellent 21.35%.(c) When is a company highly geared? 1. Co. is highly geared when Debt as a % of Total capital employed is greater than 50% 2. What are the associated problems? • Dilution of ownership & control. • High debt charges must be paid. • Greater Risk of liquidation as creditors demand payment. • Redemption of Debt & provision made thereon. • Poor Credit Rating for bank loan.

(b) State and explain four important accounting concepts1. Going concern – means the firm is being kept in its present trading use. i.e. continuity. i.e. accounts are prepared on this basis.2. Accruals – income/expenses that should have been received/paid. Dues and prepaids.3. Consistency – using the same accounting systems, standard presentation.4. Prudence – the firm should overstate its losses and understate its gains, conservative accounting.Other concepts5. Entity – the business is separate from the person.6. Money measurement – monetary transactions only are included in the account.7. Realisation – when a sale occurs is important and not when we are paid.8. Double entry – assets # liabilities ! capital.9. Objectivity – accountant should not use personal bias.

alternative Dr. or Cr. entry in other ledger a/c’s. A Trial Balance would authenticate the accuracy of these figures.

(c) Explain the term Accounting Concept These are the accounting practices or rules that are applied by accountants in the preparation of

financial statements. Name 2 fundamental accounting concepts– The Accruals Concept and The Prudence Concept. Illustrate an accounting concept– The accruals concept states that all expenses incurred in a particular period are recorded in that period

regardless of whether they are paid or not. All incomes earned must be included in the accounts of that period whether received or not. For example in the year ending 31 Dec 2012 rent due of 8,700 must be recorded in the accounts of 2012 even though it wont be paid until 2013.

(c) Assess the performance of Henshaw under the following headings: (i) Liquidity (ii) Probability

Liquidity A current ratio of 4:1 shows Henshaw is easily capable of paying debts for the year. He is also able to pay

debts 3.4 times (Acid Test) in the short run, so Henshaw has no cash flow problems so liquidity/solvency is very solid.

Profitability A gross profit margin of 40% initially looks promising but the net profit % is only 1% which indicates a

problem with expenses, wages & general expenses of €49,580 in particular. The return on capital employed is a very poor 0.3% but consideration must be given to the fact that this is his first year of trading and returns are generally poor in the initial years.

(c) Advice in relation to management of funds • Current Ratio 5.15 shows too much funds tied up in current Assets. • Bank fig € 177,620 particularly high, earning little or no return so should be used more effectively. • Firm carrying very high Debtors fig € 70,000 which could be very risky for bad debts. • Reduce loan fig of € 450,000 to decrease interest payments.

(c) Would you recommend a loan of €50,000 to Ann O’Loughlin? Yes, based on the following: • No borrowing exists i.e. gearing is zero • No cash flow problems as Current Ratio of 3:1 & Acid Test 2:1 are very strong & with extra interest of

€5000 would only reduce these marginally • Security of fixed Assets € 170,000 covers the loan over 3 times • Return on capital is low at 4.1% but this is understandable in the first year of trading • Loan to be given for expansion / purchase of fixed Assets & not for current expenditure.

(d) Why do firm prepaid budgets? (i) Objectives of Budgeting 1. Control: The budget provides a system of control which actual result can be compared with planned

result and corrective action can be taken in areas where variances occur. 2. Decision-Making: The budget provides a basis for decision-making e.g. forecasting sales provides a

basis for deciding on the amount of materials that need to be bought, how much labour needs to be hired and so on.

3. Communication: Through the budget all the objectives of the company are communicated downwards to staff at all level. Departments communicate and are in harmony in achieving the objective of the company and so on.

4. Planning for the future. (ii) Advantages of Budgeting 1. The budget acts as a motivator to staff at all levels to achieve their targets. The budget should not be

imposed and should be agreed by all and be realistic. 2. Budgeting ensures that the organisation’s resources are used as efficiently as possible and that strict

control of cost are achieved. 3. The budget defines areas of responsibility and people work much better in a company where each

individual knows exactly what they are responsible for. 4. Budgeting ensures that planning takes place and that there is good communication between all

sections of the company.

(e) Explain what is meant by the accruals principle in accounting. Each year is responsible its own expenses whether paid for or not and also for its own gains whether actually

Received or not i.e. add amounts due 31/12/12. All revenue earned by the year’s activities is to be included also even if not received until next year.

Expenses due at the end of the year are added on while expenses prepaid at year end are subtracted as they have been paid this year but relate to next year. Gains/Profits are treated similarly.

(e) 1. Capital Budget: This budget deals with any planned capital expenditure e.g. purchase of fixed assets and

planned capital receipts such as the sale of the fixed assets. Decision relating to these items would be the responsibility of the board of directors. The carrying out of the capital budget is the responsibility of the financial controller.

2. Controllable Costs: Are costs that can be controlled by the manager of a cost centre. She/he will make the decision about the amount of the cost or if the cost should be incurred and can be held responsible for variances in these costs. E.g.- all variable costs are controllable.

Uncontrollable Costs: Are costs over which the manager of a cost centre has no control and therefore cannot be held responsible for variances in these costs. E.g.- rates to the local authority are uncontrollable.

(d) Step-Fixed Costs Fixed costs remain the same but only up to the point of maximum production from a particular factory

size. If the company wishes to increase production beyond this level it must hire extra factory space so the fixed costs step upwards and so on.

example: Rent for factory space to produce • 5,000 units is €12,000 p.a., • 10,000 units is €20,000 p.a., • 15,000 units is €30,000 p.a.

(e) Marginal Absorption Costing There is a different profit figure because closing stock is valued differently. Marginal costing does not include fixed costs when costing a product whereas absorption costing does

include the fixed costs. Therefore closing stock under marginal costing is valued lower than under absorption costing because

a share of fixed costs is included in the value of stock under absorption costing but not included under marginal costing.

(e.g.) Under absorption costing, closing stock is valued at a ¼ of e.g. production cost of 17,400. Under marginal costing, closing stock is valued at ¼ of e.g. production cost of 14,400.

Closing stock – Absorption costing 4,350Closing stock – Marginal costing (3,600)Difference 750The profit difference is 22,950 # 22,200 ! 750

Absorption costing should be used a it agrees with standard accounting practice and concepts and matches costs with revenues.

(b) Outline the differences between marginal and absorption costing. Indicate which method should be used for financial accounting purposes and why.

There is a different profit figure because closing stock is valued differently. Marginal costing does not include fixed costs when costing a product whereas absorption costing does

include the fixed costs. Therefore closing stock under marginal costing is valued lower than under absorption costing because

a share of fixed costs is included in the value of stock under absorption costing but not included under marginal costing.

Under absorption costing, closing stock is valued at a 1/5 of the production cost of 50,500. Under marginal costing, closing stock is valued at 1/5 of the production cost of 33,000.

Closing stock – Absorption costing 10,100Closing stock – Marginal costing 6,600Difference 3,500

The profit difference is 55,600 ! 52,100 # €3,500 Absorption costing should be used as it agrees with standard accounting practice and concepts and matches

costs with revenues.

(i) Fixed Costs: Remain the same where output level changes e.g. Rent i.e. fixed costs are independent of the level of production.

Variable Costs: The amount of the cost changes directly with the level of production e.q. raw materials i.e. variable costs vary with the level of production.

(ii) Direct Costs: Are costs that are directly linked to a product/service e.g. raw materials, direct lab direct expenses e.g. hire of special equipment. Total direct costs are also known as PRIME COST.

Indirect Costs: Not directly linked to product/service, but must be included as part of the cost e factory rent and rates, factory light and heat, production supervisors salary.

(iii) Controllable Costs: Costs that can be controlled by a manager in a Centre. The manager can make a decision about the amount of the cost and can be held responsible if a variance occurs e.g. raw materials.

Uncontrollable Costs: Costs over which a manager has no control and cannot be held responsible for variances in these costs e.g. rates to the local authority.

(iv)1. Cost Allocation: When a cost can be charged in total to a cost centre without

being dividend into smaller parts, it is said to be allocated.2. Cost Absorption: Means that the fixed overhead costs are absorbed into the

cost of the Product. 3 Methods of doing this:(1) Amount per Unit(2) Amount per direct Labour hour(3) Rate per direct Machine Hour.
