of trading it is having problems valuing inventories.
You ascertain the following information:
(1) Raw material:
(i) The process needs at least 100,000 kgs of clay to continue working, but a
physical inventory count reveals that the machinery contains 108,000 kgs.
(ii) The original cost of the initial 100,000 kgs to set up the process was 30p per kg
and you find an invoice to show that the last consignment of 20,000 kgs cost 31p
per kg. All other consignments in the year (a total of 200,000 kgs) cost 32p per kg.
(2) Work in progress:
(i) The work in progress is currently all 60% complete and you discover that there are
50,000 units currently going through the process.
(ii) The total number of complete units for the period was, as anticipated, 800,000.
(iii) The costs for the process for the period were as follows.
Tk.000
Raw materials
200
Direct labour
242
Factory overheads
191
Administrative expenses attributable to production
114
Distribution costs

(3) Finished Goods:
(i) There were 70,000 units in inventories.
(ii) Of (i) above, it was intended to sell 20,000 units at 75p per unit, a discount of one
third on normal selling price, in a future promotional campaign (a further 10p per
unit distribution costs is to be incurred).
Required:
(a) Explain how BAS 2 Inventories applies the accrual and the going concern bases of
accounting.
(b) For each of the above categories of inventory, suggest a method of valuation and show
the value as it would appear in the balance sheet.

assets that may form a cash generating unit.
Note: you are NOT required to describe the indicators of an impairment or how impairment
losses are allocated against assets.

produce and package pharmaceutical pills. The plant had an estimated residual value of
$50,000 and an estimated life of five years, neither of which has changed. Telepath uses
straight-line depreciation. On 31 March 2012, Telepath was informed by a major customer
(who buys products produced by the plant) that it would no longer be placing orders with
Telepath. Even before this information was known, Telepath had been having difficulty

The explosion destroyed (to the point of no further use) an item of plant that had a carrying
amount of $500,000.
Tilda has an open offer from a competitor of $1 million for its patent. The receivables and
cash are already stated at their fair values less costs to sell (net realisable values).
Required:

Two products are called Standard Kiwi and Giant Kiwi. They require 0.2 kg and 0.4 kg of
materials, respectively, at a material cost of Tk. 5.3 per kg for standard kiwi and Tk. 8.2 per kg
for giant kiwi. One computer-controlled assembly line makes all products. When a production
run of a different product is started, a set-up procedure is required to reprogram the computers
and make other changes in the process. Normally, 600 standard kiwis are produced per set-up,
but only 240 giant kiwis are produced per set-up. Products are packed and shipped separately,
so a request from a customer for, say, three different products is considered as three different
orders. The Auckland Zoo Gift Shop just placed an order for 100 standard kiwi and 50 giant
kiwis.

SUBJECT : 402. STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING.
Question No. 3.(contd..)
The transfer price charged by Division B to Division A was negotiated some years ago between
the previous divisional managers, who have now both been replaced by new managers. Head
Office only allows Division A to purchase its fittings from Division B, although the new manager
of Division A believes that he could obtain fittings of the same quality and appearance for Taka
65 per set, if he was given the autonomy to purchase from outside the company. Division B
makes no cost savings from supplying internally to Division A.
Required:
a) Under the current transfer pricing system, prepare a profit statement showing the profit for
each of the divisions and for Aromatic Co as a whole. Your sales and costs figures should
be split into external sales and inter-divisional transfers, where appropriate.
b) Head Office is considering changing the transfer pricing policy to ensure maximization of
company profits without de-motivating either of the divisional managers. Division A will be
given autonomy to buy from external suppliers and Division B to supply external customers
in priority to supplying to Division A.
Calculate the maximum profit that could be earned by Aromatic Co if transfer pricing is
optimized.

Question No. 4.
Farm Fresh Ltd. is a manufacturer of farm equipment that is sold by a network of distributors
across Canada. The Service Division manufactures spare parts for the various models of farm
equipment and sells these through the distribution centres. In January last year, a JIT system
was implemented in the Service Division to reduce inventory costs. This has now been in place
for a year, and the results are as follows:
(i)
(ii)

The average inventory of spare parts has now reduced from $1,100,000 to $300,000.
Projected annual insurance costs of $160,000 have declined by 60 per cent due to the
lower average cost of inventory.
(iii) A leased 8,000 square metre warehouse, previously used for inventory storage, was not
used all year. The division paid $22,400 annual rent for the warehouse and was able to
sub-let three-quarters of the building to several tenants at $5 per square metre. The
remainder of the space was not used.
(iii) Two warehouse employees whose services were no longer needed were transferred to
the purchasing department of the Service Division in January last year at the start of the
JIT implementation, to assist in the coordination of the JIT program. Their total annual cost
was $76,000, which continued to be charged to the indirect labour portion of the fixed
overhead.
(iv) Even though employees needed to work overtime to manufacture 7,500 spare parts, lost
sales due to stock-out totaled 3,800 spare parts. The overtime premium amounted to $12
per part manufactured. The use of overtime to manufacture spare parts was virtually nonexistent prior to the introduction of JIT.
Prior to the decision to implement JIT, the Service Division of Farm Fresh had completed its
budget. The budgeted income statement, without any adjustments for the JIT system, is as
follows. Farm Freshs incremental cost of borrowing is 15 per cent per annum.
