Find the assignment pattern that maximises the sales revenue (10 Marks)

2) You have been approached by a friend who is seeking your advice as to whether he should give up his

job as an engineer, with a current salary of `14,800 per month and go into business on his own assembling

and selling a component which he has invented. He can procure the parts required to manufacture the

component from a supplier.

It is very difficult to forecast the sales potential of the component, but after some research, your friend

has estimated the sales as follows:

(i) Between 600 to 900 components per month at a selling price of `250 per component

(ii) Between 901 to 1,250 components per month at a selling price of `220 per component for the entire lot

The costs of the parts required would be `140 for each completed component. However, if more than

1,000 components are produced in each month, a discount of 5% would be received from the supplier

of parts on all purchases.

Assembly costs would be `60,000 per month up to 750 components. Beyond this level of activity

assembly costs would increase to `70,000 per month

Your friend has already spent `30,000 on development , which he would write - off over the first 5 years

of the venture.

Required:

(i) Calculate for each of the possible sales levels at which your friend could expect to benefit by going

into the venture on his own

(ii) Calculate 'Break-even point' of the venture for each of the selling price

(iii) Advice your friend as to the viability of the venture (10 Marks)

3) A company has 4 zones and 4 marketing managers available for assignment. The ones are not equal in

sales potentials. It is estimated that a typical marketing manager operating in each zone would bring

in the following annual sales:

Zones `

East 240,000

West 192,000

North 144,000

South 120,000

The four marketing managers are also different in ability. It is estimated that working under the same

conditions, their yearly sales would be proportionately as under:

Manager M 8

Manager N 7

Manager O 5

Manager P 4

5) A Company can produce and sell at its maximum capacity of 20,000 units of a product. The sales price

per unit is `100. the present sale is 15,000 units. To produce over 20,000 units and up to another 10,000

units some balancing equipments are to be installed at a cost of `10 lakhs and the same will have a life span

of 10 years.

The current cost structure is as under

Direct material 30% of sales value

Direct labour 20% of sales value

Variable overheads `20 per unit

Profit `15 per unit

The present cost is estimated to go up due to price escalation as under:

10% in direct material from present level of 30%

25% in direct labour from present level of 20%

`50,000 in fixed overheads per year.

There is a concrete proposal from a party to take 10,000 units additionally over the present levels of output

on a long-term basis at a unit price of `90. Apart from the investment of `10 lakhs, as shown above, the

fixed overheads will increase by ` 50,000 due to additional administrative expenses.

The Company is in a dilemma as to whether to accept the order for 10,000 units or to use the present

unused capacity of 5,000 units for which there will be additional selling expenditure of ` 50,000.

Ignore financing charges and give your recommendation

SUGGESTED ANSWERS

PART - A

I.

1) Expected future costs which differ for alternative course. It is not essential that all variable

costs are relevant and all the fixed costs are irrelevant. Fixed, or variable costs that differ for

various alternatives are relevant costs. Relevant costs draw our attention to those elements of

costs which are relevant for the decision.

2) Eg. Direct labour under alternative I - `10/ hour; Direct labour under alternative II - `20/ hour;

Then, directlabour is relevant cost

3) Opportunity costs is a measure of benefit of opportunity foregone when various alternatives

are considered. In other words, it is the cost of sacrifice made by alternative action chosen.

For example, opportunity cost of funds invested in business is the interest that could have been

earned by investing the funds in bank deposits.

4) Marginal Cost represents the increase or decrease in total cost which occurs with a small

change in output say, a unit of output. In cost accounting variable costs represent marginal cost.

Differential cost is the change (increase or decrease) in the total cost (variable as well as fixed)

due to change in the level of activity, technology or production process or method of

production. In other words, it can be defined as the cost of one unit of product or service

which would be avoided if that unit was not produced or provided. The main point which

distinguishes marginal cost and differential costs is that change in fixed cost when volume of

production increases or decreases by a unit of production. In the case of differential cost

variable as well as fixed costs i.e. both costs change due to change in the level of activity,

whereas under marginal costing only variable cost changes due to change in the level of activity.

5)

(i) Whether the product or production line in question makes a contribution

(ii) Where a choice is to be made between two courses of action, the additional fixed

overhead, if any, should be taken into consideration

(iii) The continuity of demand after expansion or renovation or installation of the sophisticated

machine and its impact on the selling price should also be considered. For example, if the

selling price goes down when the supply increases the possible drop in profit should be

taken into account.

(iv) Cost is not the only criterion for decision making. Non-cost factors like the necessity to

retain the experienced employees etc. should also be considered.

6) Sunk costs are the costs that have been created by a decision made in the past and that cannot

be changed by any decision that will be made in future. For example, the written down value of

an asset previously purchased are sunk costs. Sunk costs are not relevant for decision making

because they are past costs. But not all irrelevant costs are sunk costs. For example, a

comparison of two alternative production methods may result in identical material costs for

both the alternatives. In this case, the direct material cost will remain the same whichever

alternative is chosen. In this situation, though direct material cost is the future cost to be

incurred in accordance with the production, it is irrelevant, but, it is not a sunk cost.

1) In order to convert this maximization problem into a minimization problem to be able to

apply the assignment algorithm we subtract each element from the highest, 41 and obtain

the following loss matrix

9 3 1 13 1

1 17 13 20 5

0 14 8 11 4

19 3 0 5 5

12 8 1 6 2

Applying step 1 to the loss matrix we derive the following matrix, in which 4 lines are drawn

to cover all zeroes

8 0 0 7 0

0 14 12 14 4

0 12 8 6 4

19 1 0 0 5

11 5 0 0 1

The minimum uncovered element is 4 and that is subtracted from all elements and added to

all elements at intersections. This yields the following matrix in which 5 lines are needed to

cover all zeros

12 0 0 7 0

0 10 8 10 0

0 8 4 2 0

23 1 0 0 5

15 5 0 0 1

Step 5(A) and (B) is applied below to obtain the optimal assignment

12 0 0 7 0

0 10 8 10 0

0 8 4 2 0

23 1 0 0 5

15 5 0 0 1

Condition (ii) of Step B arises above; therefore cell (2,1) is arbitrarily chosen and put around

it and a line is also drawn in the second row

12 0 0 7 0

0 10 8 10 0

0 8 4 2 0

23 1 0 0 5

15 5 0 0 1

PRIME/42nd PT/FINAL 3

This process is repeated by putting around cell (3,4) arbritrarily chosen. Therefore 2 lines

are drawn to cover 4th row and 3rd column

12 0 0 7 0

0 10 8 10 0

0 8 4 2 0

23 1 0 0 5

15 5 0 0 1

The same process is continued to yield the optimal pattern as shown below

12 0 0 7 0

0 10 8 10 0

0 8 4 2 0

23 1 0 0 5

15 5 0 0 1

Optimal assignment then is

1 ----->B, 2------->A, 3------->E, 4-------->C, and 5-------->D

The maximum assignment profit is given by Z = 38+40+37+41+35=191 thousand rupees

2) The salary of `14,800 per month is a benefit foregone by going into the business. It should

therefore be considered as a minimum profit which must be earned p.m. from the new

venture in order to be not-worse off than before. Sum of `30,000 spent on the development

work of the new venture cannot be recovered irrespective of the decision and thus it should be

ignored.

At a selling price of `250

Contribution per unit (`250 - `140) `110

Minimum sales (units) to recover assembly costs of `60,000 per month and earn a profit of

`14,800 p.m. (BE sales level)

(`60,000+`14,800) = 680 units

`110

Note that 600 units and up to 679 units i.e. units below the break even level the loss would be

`110 per unit. From 680 units up to 750 units i.e. on additional 70 units the total profit would be

`7,700 (70 units X `110)

Minimum sales (units) to recover assembly costs of `70,000 per month and earn a profit of

`14,800 p.m. (BE sales level)

(`70,000+`14,800) = 770.909 units

`110

If the sales units are more than 770.909 units and up to 900 units, profit would be made. The

total amount of profit comes to `14,200 [(900 units - 770.909 units) X `110]

It is not worthwhile to proceed if the demand of components is less than 680 units or between

750 to 770.909 units. At a selling price of 220

Minimum sales (units) to recover assembly cost of `70,000 p.m. and earn a profit of `14,800 p.m.

`220 - `140

Minimum sales (units) to recover assembly cost of `70,000 p.m. and earn a profit of `14,800 p.m;

after availing a discount of 5% on the purchase of all parts.

(`70,000+`14,800) = 974.712 units

`220 - [`140-(5/100) X`140]

Or 975 units

Conclusion:

It is not worthwhile to sell between 900 to 1,000 units when no discount is available. Also, it is

worthwhile selling at `220 if sales units are in excess of 1,000 units and a discount of 5% is

available on the purchase of all components-parts

Profit on the sale (1,250 units) `23,950 (1,250 units X `87 - `84,800)

Advice on the viability of the venture

At a selling price of `250 he will not be at a loss if the demand of the component exceeds 680

units to 750 units and

770.909 units to 900 units

At a selling price of `220, it is not worthwhile to sell if the demand is less than 1,000 components

without availing a discount of 5%

At 8,000 level of output the total sales revenue is `760,000 and the total cost is `592,000 leaving

a profit of `168,000. The fact that this level of output leaves a profit means that the fixed

expenses have been recovered already. Hence we have to take only the incremental cost for

further levels of output. For an additional sales of 2,000 units the incremental cost is

` 710,000 - `592,000 = `1,180,000. The cost per unit, therefore, is `118,000/ 2,000 units =

`59 for which the price quoted is `70 per unit. The offer is therefore, acceptable.

who continues to carry on that business or profession, then, the predecessor will be assessed from the 1st day of previous year to the date of succession and the successor will be assessed from the date of succession to the end of the previous year.

However, ICDS 2 provides for valuation of stock at market price, in the event of dissolution of firm / AOP / BOI, even if the business is continued.

10. Computation of tax of AOP is governed by section 167B of the Income -tax Act.

Tax on total income of AOP is computed as follows: (i) If individual share of a member is known, and the total income of any member exceeds the basic

exemption limit, then the AOP will pay tax at the maximum marginal rate. (ii) If individual share of a member is known and no member has total income exceeding the basic

exemption limit, then the AOP will pay tax at the rates applicable to an individual. Section 86 provides for assessment of share in the hands of members of AOP as follows: A member’s share in the total income of AOP will be treated as follows:-

(i) If an AOP has paid tax at the maximum marginal rate or a higher rate, the member’s share in the total income of AOP will not be included in his total income and will be exempt.

(ii) If the AOP has paid tax at regular rates applicable to an individual, the member’s share in the income of AOP will be included in his total income and he will be allowed rebate at the average rate of tax in respect of such share.

Tax Liability of J K Associates, AOP (i) As K’s income, other than that from the AOP, exceeds the basic exemption limit, the AOP shall pay

tax at maximum marginal rate of 33.99% (i.e. 30% plus10 % Surcharge Plus education cess@2% plus secondary and higher education cess@1%). Thus the tax payable by AOP = `6,00,000 x 33.99% = `2,03,940.

(ii) Since none of the members have income, other than income from the AOP, exceeding the basic exemption limit, the AOP would be taxed at the rates applicable to an individual. Therefore, the AOP’s tax liability = `25,000 + `20,000 =`45,000 + Education cess @ 3 % of 45,000 = 1,350 Total tax payable = 46,350.
