Q. No. 1.
(a) Prime Oceanic Water (POW) desalinates and bottles sea water. The desalinated water is in high
demand from a large group of environmentally conscious people on the west coast of the
Country. During March, POW processes 1,000 gallons of sea water and obtains 800 gallons of
drinking water and 50 pounds of sea salt (the rest of the sea water evaporates in the
desalinization process). Processing the 1,000 gallons of water costs POW Tk.1,500. POW sells
600 gallons of the desalinated water in 2 gallon containers for Tk.8 per container. In addition
POW sells 40 pounds of sea salt for Tk.1.20 per pound. Due to the relatively small proportion
of sea salt, POW has decided to treat it as a byproduct.
Required
1. Assuming POW accounts for the byproduct using the production method, what is the
inventoriable cost for each product and POWs gross margin?
2. Assuming POW accounts for the byproduct using the sales method, what is the
inventoriable cost for each product and POWs gross margin?
3. Discuss the difference between the two methods of accounting for byproducts.
(b) Padma Sawmill Inc. (PSI), purchases logs from independent timber contractors and processes
the logs into three types of lumber products:
Studs for residential buildings (walls, ceilings)
Decorative pieces (fireplace mantels, beams for cathedral ceilings)
Posts used as support braces (mine support braces, braces for exterior fences on ranch
properties)
These products are the result of a joint sawmill process that involves removal of bark from the
logs, cutting the logs into a workable size (ranging from 8 to 16 feet in length), and then cutting
the individual products from the logs.
The joint process results in the following costs of products for a typical month:
Direct materials (rough timber togs)
Tk. 500,000
Debarking (labor and overhead)
50,000
Sizing (labor and overhead)
200,000
Product cutting (labor and overhead)
250,000
Total joint costs
Tk.1,000,000
Product yields and average sales values on a per-unit basis from the joint process are as follows:
Monthly Output of Materials at
Split off Point
Fully processed Selling Price
Studs
75,000 units
Tk. 8
Decorative pieces
5,000 units
100
Posts
20,000 units
20
The studs are sold as rough-cut lumber after emerging from the sawmill operation without
further processing by PSI. Also, the posts require no further processing beyond the split off
point. The decorative pieces must be planed and further sized after emerging from the sawmill.
This additional processing costs Tk.100,000 per month and normally results in a loss of 10% of
the units entering the process. Without this planning and sizing process, there is still an active
intermediate market for the unfinished decorative pieces in which the selling price averages
Tk.60 per unit.
Product
Page 38 of 54

Q. No. 1. (Contd..)
Required
(1) Based on the information given for Padma Sawmill, allocate the joint processing costs of
Tk.1,000,000 to the three products using:
(a) Sales value at split off method
(b) Physical-measure method (volume in units)
(c) NRV method
(2) Prepare an analysis for Padma Sawmill that compares processing the decorative pieces further
as they currently do, with selling them as a rough-cut product immediately at split off.
(3) Assume Padma Sawmill announced that in six months it will sell the unfinished
decorative pieces at split off due to increasing competitive pressure. Identify at least three
types of likely behavior that will be demonstrated by the skilled labor in the planning and
sizing process as a result of this announcement. Include in your discussing how this
behavior could be influenced by management.

Q. No. 1.
You are the finance director of Xylo Phone Ltd. a Bangladeshi Company that imports mainly from
Europe and export to the US. Xylo Phone is partly financed by a Taka loan and usually hedges its
foreign currency exposure by using the forward or money markets. Most customers are allowed 3
months credit. The company has recently sold equipment to a customer in the US for $ 2 million.
The following information are available:

A recent economic fore-cast suggested that annual inflation over the next 12 month in Europe is
expected to be 1% while in the USA it is expected to be 2.7%.
Required:
Comment on the interest rate parity and the purchasing power parity methods for estimating future
exchange rates and answer each of the following questions including appropriate calculations, where
relevant to aid your discussion.
(i)
As interest rates are higher in Bangladesh than Europe, should the euro be depreciating against
the Taka, hence trading at a discount?
(ii) What 3 months dollar forward rate of exchange is implied by the information given, and
therefore what Taka receipts can the Company expect in 3 months time from the US customer?
(iii) If the Company buys euros on the spot market as and when needed to pay for their imports
rather than taking out forward contracts would it save them money?
(iv) Would a sensible policy be to buy euros on the spot market now and place them on deposit until
Xylo Phone needs them?
(v) Would it be in Xylo Phones interests to borrow euros and pay off their Taka loan? Would this
save money on interest payments?

Q. No. 4.
Assume today is 1 October 2011.
CIP is a manufacturing company and its board is evaluating a potential project which involves the
launch of a new product that has a limited life of six years and which will require an initial investment
in specialized machinery.
Project cash flows:
The specialized machinery will cost Tk. 6.5 million and will be installed and paid for on 1 January
2012. The Finance Manager has forecast that the net after tax cash flows associated with the new
product will be as follows:
Year to 31 December
2012
2013
2014
2015 - 7
Net after tax cash flows(000)
750
950
1,400
2,100
The project will have no residual value as the specialized machinery cannot be used elsewhere or sold
at the end of the project. The net after tax cash flows can be assumed to arise at the end of the year to
which they relate.
Financing the project
The proposed investment is in a development region of the country and the local government is
offering subsidized borrowing for 40% of the initial capital investment at an annual interest rate of 1%
to encourage investment.
A further 20% of the capital required will be raised by bank borrowing, at an annual interest rate of
6%, which is the same as CIPs pre-tax cost of debt.
The duration of the borrowings will match the duration of the investment with the full amount of the
borrowings repayable at the end of the six year term. The corporate income tax rate is 30% and tax is
payable or recoverable at the end of the year to which it relates. There are sufficient taxable profits
within CIP to benefit in full from the tax relief available on interest payments. CIP has sufficient cash
to fund the remaining 40% of the capital expenditure.
Page 46 of 54

Q. No. 4. (Contd..)
Other information:
CIPs current market debt: equity ratio is 1:3.
CIPs current WACC (weighted average cost of capital), which is typically uses for investment
appraisal, is 10%. The proposed project is in a market which is expected to be riskier than its
normal operations and therefore some of the board of CIP is unsure whether 10% is an
appropriate rate at which to appraise the investment. The Finance Manager has suggested that
either a risk adjusted WACC should be used as a discount rate (based upon a cost of equity
reflecting the business risk of the project and CIPs existing gearing) in an NPV (net present
value) evaluation or, alternatively, an APV (adjusted present value) approach should be adopted.
He has identified PPP as a company that operates exclusively in the market of the proposed
project. PPPs equity beta is 1.95 and it has a current market debt: equity ratio of 1:4. The post-tax
risk free rate of return and market rate of return are expected to be 4% and 9% respectively for the
foreseeable future.
Administrative costs of arranging the two borrowings are expected to be 1% of the amounts
raised.
Required: Calculate, as at 1 January 2012:
(i)
The NPV of the project at CIPs existing WACC of 10%.
(ii) The NPV of the project at a risk adjusted WACC using PPP as a proxy company in respect
of business risk.
(iii) The APV of the project.

Q. No. 1.
Sonangol Limited currently subsidizes cafeteria services at its corporate head office at Banani for its
200 employees. Sonangol is in the process of reviewing the cafeteria services as cost cutting measures
are needed throughout the organization to keep the prices of its products competitive. Two
alternatives are being evaluated: (i) downsizing the cafeteria staff and offer a reduced menu or (ii)
contract with an outside vendor.
The current cafeteria operation has four employees with a combined base annual salary of BDT
110,000 plus additional employees benefits at 25% of salary. The cafeteria operates 250 days each
year, and the cost for utilities and equipment maintenance average BDT 30,000 annually. The daily
sales include 100 entres at BDT 4.00 each, 80 sandwiches or salads at an average price of BDT 3.00
each, plus an additional BDT 200 for beverages and desserts. The cost of all cafeteria supplies is 60%
of revenue.
The plan for downsizing the current operations envisions retaining two of the current employees
whose combined base annual salaries total BDT 65,000. An entre would no longer be offered, and
price of the remaining items would be increased slightly. Under this arrangement, Sonangol expects
daily sales of 150 sandwiches or salads at a higher average price of BDT 3.60 each. The additional
revenue of beverage and desserts is expected to increase to BDT 230 each day. Because of the
elimination of the entre, the cost of all cafeteria supplies is expected to decline to 50% of revenues.
All other conditions of operation would remain the same. Sonangol is willing to continue to subsidize
this reduced operation but will not spend more than 20% of the current subsidy.
A proposal has been received from Bongos Foods, an outside vendor who is willing to supply
cafeteria services. Bongos has proposed to pay Sonangol BDT 1,000 per month for the use of the
cafeteria and utilities. Sonangol would be expected to cover equipment repair costs. In addition,
Bongos would pay Sonangol 4% of all revenue received above the breakeven point. This payment
would be made at the end of the year. All other costs incurred by Bongos to supply the cafeteria
services are variable and equal 75% of revenues. Bongos plans to charge BDT 5.00 for an entre and
the average price of sandwiches or salads would be BDT 4.00. All other daily sales are expected to
average BDT 300. Bongos expects daily sales of 66 entres and 94 sandwiches or salads.
Required:
(i)
Determine whether the plan for downsizing the current cafeteria operation would be acceptable
to Sonangol Limited. Please show your calculation.
(ii) Is the Bongos Foods proposal more advantages to Sonangol Limited than the downsizing plan?
Please show your calculation.

Note 1: Staff costs include call handling staff and supervisory staff. Each call handling employee
deals with six calls per hour. Projected staff costs are based on the assumption that call
handling staff are operational for 32 hours per week and for 45 weeks per year. Supervisory
staffs are directly employed by each division and the related costs are fixed costs.
Note 2: These are fixed costs. The total for each division includes both directly attributable costs and
an apportionment of central costs. Total central costs are Tk35 million, and are apportioned
to divisions in proportion to revenue generated (the proportion being in percentage up to two
decimals).
In advance of the next meeting, the Managing Director has circulated the memo shown below:
It has been suggested that as division A is loss making, it should be closed. This may be a
simplistic analysis. There may be arguments for retaining all of the divisions.
The human resource director has advised me that if we close the division, we will have to pay
Tk100,000 to staff in severance costs.
We also need to ensure that we have contingency plans in place. Our projections are based on the
assumption that we can obtain sufficient staff. However, it is possible that the supply of call handling
staff will be in short supply in the short term, and could be 10% less than included in our projections.
We can easily transfer call handling staff between divisions, so we should ensure that these employees
are deployed to maximize profit. Another possibility is to use an agency to provide additional staff in
the short term. I am advised that we can obtain additional staff for up to 14,400 hours at a cost of
Tk40 per hour. If we decide to take up this option, we will be required to sign a contract for a
specified number of hours in advance.

the firm used 75,000 pounds of alloy TPX-45 at $7.20 per pound and spent 10,000 direct laborhours at an hourly wage rate of $30. In 2010, the firm used 89,000 pounds of alloy TPx-45 at
$6.80 per pound and spent 10,847 direct labor-hours at an hourly wage rate of $32. The total
amount of all expenses remains the same at $450,000 each year. Jerry Olson, CEO, was
disappointed that although the total sales increased in 2010, the $195,616 operating income
earned in 2010 is only 93 percent of the amount earned in 2009, which was $210,000.
