Past exam questions are designated with the date of the exam in which they featured, although some have been amended to reflect subsequent changes to the syllabus or in the format of the exam. Prior to September 2018, Performance Management (PM) was known as F5 Performance Management. 过去的考试题目会标注其出现的考试日期,尽管有些题目已经根据后续教学大纲或考试格式的变化进行了修改。在 2018 年 9 月之前,绩效管理(PM)被称为 F5 绩效管理。
Since September 2015 there have been four exam sittings per year, but ACCA only publish two exams’ worth of questions per year. These releases are compiled from questions selected from the preceding sessions. These compilation exams are denoted as ‘Mar/Jun’ and ‘Sept/Dec’ in the index below. 自 2015 年 9 月以来,每年有四次考试,但 ACCA 每年只发布两次考试的题目。这些发布是从之前的考试中选出的题目汇编而成。这些汇编考试在下面的索引中标记为“3 月/6 月”和“9 月/12 月”。

Passing your PM exam 通过你的 PM 考试
Displaying the right qualities 展示正确的品质
You are expected to have a core of management accounting knowledge from your previous studies of MA. 你应该从之前的管理会计(MA)学习中掌握管理会计的核心知识。
You will be required to identify the requirements of multiple choice questions quickly, so that you can make your answers confidently within the available time. 您需要快速识别选择题的要求,以便在可用时间内自信地作答。

You must be able to apply your skills in a practical context. 你必须能够在实际环境中应用你的技能。
You must understand what numbers tell you about the performance of an organisation. 你必须理解数字告诉你关于组织绩效的信息。
Avoiding weaknesses 避免弱点
There is no choice in this exam all questions have to be answered. You must therefore study the entire syllabus, there are no short-cuts. 这次考试没有选择,所有问题都必须回答。因此,你必须学习整个教学大纲,没有捷径可走。
Ability to answer multiple choice questions and cases improves with practice. Try to get as much practice with these questions as you can. 回答选择题和案例分析的能力会随着练习而提高。尽量多做这些问题的练习。
The longer questions will be based on simple scenarios and answers must be focused and specific to the organisation. 较长的题目将基于简单的场景,答案必须具体且针对组织。
Section A Objective test questions (OTQs) 第一部分 客观测试题(OTQs)
Some OTQs are easier than others. Answer those that you feel fairly confident about as quickly as you can. Come back later to those you find more difficult. This could be a way of making use of the time in the examination most efficiently and effectively. Some questions are more timeconsuming than others. 有些客观测试题比其他题更容易。尽可能快速地回答那些你比较有把握的题目。稍后再回来处理那些你觉得较难的题目。这可能是最有效利用考试时间的方法。有些题目比其他题目更耗时。
The first more time-consuming OTQ will involve doing a computation. You will probably need to jot down a quick proforma to answer a computational question. If the OTQ is a multiple choice question, remember that the wrong answers will usually involve common errors so don’t assume that because you have the same answer as one of the options that your answer is necessarily correct! Double check to make sure you haven’t made any silly mistakes. If you haven’t got the same answer as any of the options, rework your computation, thinking carefully about what errors you could have made. If you still haven’t got one of the options, choose the one which is nearest to your answer. 第一个较耗时的客观测试题将涉及计算。你可能需要快速草拟一个表格来回答计算题。如果客观测试题是多项选择题,请记住,错误的答案通常会涉及常见的错误,所以不要因为你的答案与其中一个选项相同就认为你的答案一定是正确的!仔细检查以确保你没有犯任何愚蠢的错误。如果你的答案与任何选项都不相同,重新计算,仔细思考你可能犯了什么错误。如果你仍然没有得到任何一个选项,选择最接近你答案的选项。
The second more time-consuming OTQ is one where you are asked to consider a number of statements and identify which one (or more) of them is correct. Make sure that you read each statement at least twice before making your selection. Be careful to follow the requirements of the OTQ exactly, for example if you are asked to identify two correct statements. Make sure that you understand the wording of ‘written’ OTQs before selecting your answer. 第二种更耗时的 OTQ 是要求你考虑多个陈述并确定其中哪一个(或多个)是正确的。确保你在做出选择之前至少阅读每个陈述两遍。注意严格遵循 OTQ 的要求,例如如果要求你识别两个正确的陈述。在选择答案之前,确保你理解“书面”OTQ 的措辞。
Note that the exam software contains a ‘flag’ functionality, meaning that you can flag any questions that you want to return to and review, if you have spare time at the end. 请注意,考试软件包含“标记”功能,这意味着你可以标记任何你想返回并复习的问题,如果你在最后有剩余时间。
Section B Objective test questions (OTQs) B 部分 客观测试题(OTQs)
The general advice for Section A OTQs stands for Section B. Additional advice is to make sure that you read the whole case scenario. Note that the questions are independent of each other and can be answered in any order. 关于 A 部分 OTQ 的一般建议也适用于 B 部分。额外的建议是确保你阅读整个案例场景。请注意,这些问题彼此独立,可以按任何顺序回答。
Calculations in Section C questions C 部分问题中的计算
There will be some relatively straightforward calculations at the start of the question and they will then probably get progressively more difficult. If you get stuck, make an assumption, state it and move on. Do not miss out on easy marks by not learning your proformas properly. 问题开始时会有一些相对简单的计算,然后可能会逐渐变得困难。如果卡住了,做出一个假设,说明它并继续前进。不要因为没有正确掌握你的模板而错过容易的分数。
Discussions in Section CC questions CC 部分问题中的讨论
A Section C question may separate discussion requirements from calculations, so that you do not need to do the calculations first in order to answer the discussion part. This means that you should be able to gain marks from making sensible, practical comments without having to complete the calculations. C 部分问题可能会将讨论要求与计算分开,因此你不需要先进行计算来回答讨论部分。这意味着你应该能够通过提出合理、实际的评论来获得分数,而不必完成计算。
Discussions that are focused on the specific organisation in the question will gain more marks than regurgitation of knowledge. Read the question carefully and more than once, to ensure you are actually answering the specific requirements. 专注于问题中特定组织的讨论将比重复知识获得更多的分数。仔细阅读问题,并多次阅读,以确保你真正回答了具体的要求。
Pick out key words such as ‘describe’, ‘evaluate’ and ‘discuss’. These all mean something specific. 挑出关键词,如“描述”、“评估”和“讨论”。这些词都有特定的含义。
‘Describe’ means to communicate the key features of “描述”意味着传达关键特征
‘Evaluate’ means to assess the value of “评估”意味着评估价值
‘Discuss’ means to examine in detail by argument “讨论”意味着通过论证详细检查
Clearly label the points you make in discussions so that the marker can identify them all rather than getting lost in the detail. 在讨论中清晰地标注你的观点,以便评分者能够识别所有要点,而不是迷失在细节中。
Provide answers in the form requested. Use a report format if asked for and give recommendations if required. 按照要求的形式提供答案。如果要求使用报告格式,请使用报告格式,并在需要时提供建议。
The exam format will comprise three exam sections 考试格式将包含三个考试部分

Section AA and BB questions will be selected from the entire syllabus. The responses to each question or subpart in the case of OT cases are marked automatically as either correct or incorrect by computer. 第 AA 和第 BB 部分的题目将从整个教学大纲中选取。对于每个问题或子问题的回答,在 OT 案例中,将由计算机自动标记为正确或错误。
Section C questions will mainly focus on the following syllabus areas: 第 C 部分的题目将主要关注以下教学大纲领域:
Decision-making techniques (syllabus area C) 决策技术(教学大纲领域 C)
Budgeting and control (syllabus area D) 预算与控制(教学大纲区域 D)
Performance measurement and control (syllabus area E) 绩效评估与控制(教学大纲区域 E)

The structure of this Exam Practice Kit 本考试练习册的结构
We look at the dos and don’ts of revising for, and taking, ACCA exams 我们来看看复习和参加 ACCA 考试的注意事项
We focus on Performance Management; we discuss revising the syllabus, what to do (and what not to do) in the exam, how to approach different types of question and ways of obtaining easy marks 我们专注于绩效管理;讨论如何复习大纲、考试中该做和不该做的事情、如何处理不同类型的题目以及如何轻松得分
There are also four mock exams which provide you the opportunity to refine your knowledge and skills as part of your final exam preparations. 还有四套模拟考试,为你提供了在最终考试准备中完善知识和技能的机会
Question practice 问题练习
This is the most important thing to do if you want to get through. Many of the most up-to-date exam questions are in this Kit. Practise doing them under timed conditions, then go through the answers and go back to the Course Book for any topic you are really having trouble with. Come back to a question a week later and try it again - you will be surprised at how much better you are getting. Be very ruthless with yourself at this stage - you have to do the question in the time, without looking at the answer. This will really sharpen your wits and make the exam experience less worrying. Just keep doing this and you will get better at doing questions and you will really find out what you know and what you don’t know. 这是如果你想通过考试最重要的事情。许多最新的考试题目都在这个练习册中。在限时条件下练习这些题目,然后查看答案,并回到课程书中复习你真正有困难的主题。一周后再回来尝试同一个问题——你会惊讶于自己的进步。在这个阶段要对自己非常严格——你必须在规定时间内完成题目,不能看答案。这将真正磨练你的智慧,使考试体验不那么令人担忧。只要坚持这样做,你就会在答题方面变得越来越好,并且真正了解自己知道什么和不知道什么。

Selecting questions 选择题目
To help you plan your revision, we have provided a full topic index which maps the questions to topics in the syllabus (see page viii). We provide signposts to help you plan your revision. 为了帮助你规划复习,我们提供了一个完整的主题索引,将问题与教学大纲中的主题对应起来(见第 viii 页)。我们提供了一些指引,帮助你规划复习。
A full question index 完整的题目索引
A topic index listing all the questions that cover key topics, so that you can locate the questions that provide practice on these topics, and see the different ways in which they might be examined. 主题索引列出了所有涵盖关键主题的题目,以便您可以找到这些主题的练习题,并了解它们可能被考查的不同方式。
Making the most of question practice 充分利用练习题
At BPP Learning Media we realise that you need more than just questions and model answers to get the most from your question practice. 在 BPP Learning Media,我们意识到您需要的不仅仅是题目和标准答案,以便从练习中获得最大的收益。
Our top tips included for certain questions provide essential advice on tackling questions, presenting answers and the key points that answers need to include. 我们为某些问题提供的顶级技巧包括如何应对问题、展示答案以及答案需要包含的关键点。
We include marking guides to show you what the examining team rewards. 我们包含评分指南,向您展示考官团队所奖励的内容。
We include comments from the examining team to show you where students struggled or performed well in the actual exam. 我们包含了考官团队的评论,向您展示学生在实际考试中遇到困难或表现良好的地方。
Attempting mock exams 尝试模拟考试
There are four mock exams that provide practice at coping with the pressures of the exam day. We strongly recommend that you attempt them under exam conditions. All the mock exams reflect the question styles and syllabus coverage of the exam. 有四套模拟考试,帮助您练习应对考试当天的压力。我们强烈建议您在考试条件下进行尝试。所有模拟考试都反映了考试的题型和教学大纲覆盖范围。
Topics to revise 需要复习的主题
All questions are compulsory so you must revise the whole syllabus. Since the exam includes 15 objective test questions in Section A, you should expect questions to cover a large part of the syllabus. Selective revision will limit the number of questions you can answer and hence reduce your chances of passing. It is better to go into the exam knowing a reasonable amount about most of the syllabus rather than concentrating on a few topics to the exclusion of the rest. 所有问题都是必答题,因此你必须复习整个教学大纲。由于考试包括 A 部分的 15 道客观测试题,你应该预期问题会覆盖教学大纲的很大一部分。选择性复习会限制你能回答的问题数量,从而降低你通过考试的机会。最好在考试前对教学大纲的大部分内容有合理的了解,而不是集中复习少数主题而忽略其他内容。
Remote invigilated exams 远程监考考试
In certain geographical areas it may be possible for you to take your exam remotely. This option, which is subject to strict conditions, can offer increased flexibility and convenience under certain circumstances. Further guidance, including the detailed requirements and conditions for taking the exam by this method, is contained on ACCA’s website at https://www.accaglobal.com/an/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/about-our-exams/remote-exams/remote-session-exams.html. 在某些地理区域,你可能可以远程参加考试。这个选项在某些情况下可以提供更大的灵活性和便利性,但需遵守严格的条件。有关通过这种方式参加考试的详细要求和条件的进一步指导,请访问 ACCA 网站:https://www.accaglobal.com/an/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/about-our-exams/remote-exams/remote-session-exams.html。

Essential skill areas 必备技能领域
Exam success skill 1 考试成功技巧 1
Managing information 信息管理
Questions in the exam will present you with a lot of information. The skill is how you handle this information to make the best use of your time. The key is determining how you will approach the exam and then actively reading the questions. 考试中的问题会提供大量信息。关键在于你如何处理这些信息以充分利用时间。关键是要确定你将如何应对考试,然后主动阅读问题。
Advice on developing Managing information 关于发展信息管理的建议
Approach 方法
The exam is three hours long. There is no designated ‘reading’ time at the start of the exam. However, one approach that can work well is to start the exam by spending 10-15 minutes carefully reading through all of the questions to familiarise yourself with the exam. 考试时长为三个小时。考试开始时没有指定的“阅读”时间。然而,一种行之有效的方法是,在考试开始时花 10 到 15 分钟仔细阅读所有问题,以熟悉考试内容。
Once you feel familiar with the exam consider the order in which you will attempt the questions; always attempt them in your order of preference. For example, you may want to leave to last the question you consider to be the most difficult. 一旦你熟悉了考试内容,考虑你将以何种顺序答题;始终按照你的偏好顺序答题。例如,你可能想把你认为最难的问题留到最后。
If you do take this approach, remember to adjust the time available for each question appropriately - see Exam success skill 6: Good time management. 如果你采用这种方法,记得适当调整每个问题的时间分配——参见考试成功技巧 6:良好的时间管理。
If you find that this approach doesn’t work for you, don’t worry - you can develop your own technique. 如果你发现这种方法不适合你,别担心——你可以开发自己的技巧。
Active reading 主动阅读
You must take an active approach to reading each question. In Section CC questions in particular, focus on the requirement first, using the highlighting tool or scratch pad to make a note of key verbs such as ‘explain’ and ‘discuss’, to ensure you answer the question properly. Then read the rest of the question, highlighting or making scratch pad notes on important and relevant information you think you will need. 你必须采取主动的方法来阅读每个问题。特别是在第 CC 节的问题中,首先要关注问题的要求,使用高亮工具或草稿纸记录关键动词,如“解释”和“讨论”,以确保你正确回答问题。然后阅读问题的其余部分,高亮或在草稿纸上记录你认为需要的重要和相关信息。
Exam success skill 2 考试成功技巧 2
Correct interpretation of the requirements 正确理解要求
The active verb used often dictates the approach that written answers should take (eg ‘explain’, ‘discuss’). It is important you identify and use the verb to define your approach. The correct interpretation of the requirements skill means correctly producing only what is being asked for by a requirement. Anything not required will not earn marks. 使用的主动动词通常决定了书面答案应采取的方法(例如“解释”、“讨论”)。重要的是你要识别并使用该动词来定义你的方法。正确理解要求的能力意味着准确地只生成被要求的内容。任何不必要的内容都不会得分。
Advice on developing correct interpretation of the requirements 关于正确理解要求的建议
This skill can be developed by analysing question requirements and applying this process: 这种技能可以通过分析问题需求并应用以下过程来培养:
Step 1 Read the requirement 第一步 阅读要求
Firstly, read the requirement a couple of times slowly and carefully and use the highlighting tool to note the active verbs. Use the active verbs to define what you plan to do. Make sure you identify any sub-requirements. 首先,慢慢地仔细阅读要求几遍,并使用高亮工具标记出主动动词。使用这些主动动词来定义你计划做什么。确保你识别出任何子要求。
Step 2 Read the rest of the question 第二步 阅读问题的其余部分
By reading the requirement first, you will have an idea of what you are looking out for as you read through the scenario. This is a great time saver and means you don’t end up having to read the whole question in full twice. You should do this in an active way - see Exam success skill 1: Managing Information. 通过先阅读要求,你会在阅读场景时有一个明确的目标。这是一个很好的节省时间的方法,意味着你不必完整地阅读整个问题两次。你应该以主动的方式进行这一步骤——参见考试成功技巧 1:信息管理。
Step 3 Read the requirement again 第三步 再次阅读要求
Read the requirement again to remind yourself of the exact wording before starting your answer. This will capture any misinterpretation of the requirements or any missed requirements entirely. This should become a habit in your approach and, with repeated practice, you will find the focus, relevance and depth of your answer plan will improve. 在开始答题之前,再次阅读要求以提醒自己确切的措辞。这将捕捉到任何对要求的误解或完全遗漏的要求。这应该成为你答题方法中的一种习惯,通过反复练习,你会发现你的答题计划在重点、相关性和深度上都会有所提高。
Exam success skill 3 考试成功技巧 3
Answer planning: Priorities, structure and logic 答题计划:优先级、结构和逻辑
This skill requires the planning of the key aspects of an answer which accurately and completely responds to the requirement. 这项技能需要规划答案的关键方面,以准确且完整地回应要求。
Advice on developing Answer planning: Priorities, structure and logic 关于制定答案规划的建议:优先级、结构和逻辑
Everyone will have a preferred style for an answer plan. For example, it may be a mind map, bullet pointed lists or simply making some notes on the scratch pad. Choose the approach that you feel most comfortable with, or, if you are not sure, try out different approaches for different questions until you have found your preferred style. 每个人都有自己偏好的答案规划风格。例如,可能是思维导图、带项目符号的列表,或者只是在草稿纸上做一些笔记。选择你感觉最舒适的方法,或者如果你不确定,可以尝试用不同的方法回答不同的问题,直到找到你偏好的风格。
Exam success skill 4 考试成功技能 4
Efficient numerical analysis 高效的数值分析
This skill aims to maximise the marks awarded by making clear to the marker the process of arriving at your answer. This is achieved by laying out an answer such that, even if you make a few errors, you can still score subsequent marks for follow-on calculations. It is vital that you do not lose marks purely because the marker cannot follow what you have done. 该技能旨在通过向评分者清晰地展示得出答案的过程来最大化得分。这是通过布局答案来实现的,即使你犯了一些错误,你仍然可以在后续计算中获得分数。至关重要的是,不要仅仅因为评分者无法理解你所做的而失分。
Advice on developing Efficient numerical analysis 关于发展高效数值分析的建议
This skill can be developed by applying the following process: 该技能可以通过应用以下过程来发展:
Step 1 Use a standard proforma working where relevant 第一步 在相关情况下使用标准的工作表格
If answers can be laid out in a standard proforma then always plan to do so. This will help the marker to understand your working and allocate the marks easily. It will also help you to work through the figures in a methodical and time-efficient way. 如果答案可以用标准表格呈现,那么一定要计划这样做。这将帮助阅卷者理解你的工作过程,并轻松分配分数。它还将帮助你以有条理且高效的方式处理数据。
Step 2 Show your workings 第二步 展示你的计算过程
Keep your workings as clear and simple as possible and ensure they are cross referenced to the main part of your answer. Where it helps, provide brief narrative explanations to help the marker understand the steps in the calculation. This means that if a mistake is made you do not lose any subsequent marks for follow-on calculations. 保持你的计算过程尽可能清晰和简单,并确保它们与答案的主要部分相互参照。在有助于理解的地方,提供简短的文字解释,以帮助阅卷者理解计算的步骤。这意味着如果出现错误,你不会因为后续的计算而丢失任何分数。
Step 3 Keep moving! 第三步 继续前进!
It is important to remember that, in an exam situation, it can sometimes be difficult to get every number 100%100 \% correct. The key is therefore ensuring you do not spend too long on any single calculation. If you are struggling with a solution then make a sensible assumption, state it and move on. 重要的是要记住,在考试中,有时很难让每个数字都完全正确。因此,关键是要确保不要在任何单个计算上花费太多时间。如果你在某个问题上遇到困难,那么做一个合理的假设,说明它,然后继续前进。
Exam success skill 5 考试成功技巧 5
Effective writing and presentation 有效的写作和表达
Written answers should be presented so that the marker can clearly see the points you are making. The skill is to provide efficient written answers with sufficient breadth of points that answer the question, in the right depth, in the time available. 书面答案应呈现得让阅卷者清楚地看到你所提出的观点。关键在于在有限的时间内,以适当的深度提供高效的书面答案,涵盖足够广泛的要点以回答问题。
Advice on developing Effective writing and presentation 关于如何发展有效写作和演示的建议
Step 1 Use headings 第一步 使用标题
Using the headings and sub-headings from your answer plan will give your answer structure, order and logic. This will ensure your answer links back to the requirement and is clearly signposted, making it easier for the marker to understand the different points you are making. Making your headings bold will also help the marker. 使用你答题计划中的标题和副标题将给你的答案带来结构、顺序和逻辑。这将确保你的答案与要求相关联,并清晰地标注出来,使阅卷者更容易理解你所提出的不同观点。将你的标题加粗也有助于阅卷者。
Step 2 Type your answer in short, but full, sentences 第二步 用简短但完整的句子输入你的答案
Use short, punchy sentences with the aim that every sentence should say something different and generate marks. Type in full sentences, ensuring your style is professional. 使用简短有力的句子,确保每句话都表达不同的内容并能够得分。以完整的句子输入,确保你的风格专业。
Step 3 Do your calculations first and explanation second 第三步 先进行计算,再进行解释
Questions sometimes ask for a discussion or explanation with suitable calculations. The best approach is to prepare the calculation first then add the explanation. 问题有时会要求进行讨论或解释,并附上适当的计算。最佳方法是先准备计算,然后添加解释。
Performing the calculation first should enable you to explain what you have done. 首先进行计算应该能够让你解释你所做的事情。
Exam success skill 6 考试成功技巧 6
Good time management 良好的时间管理
This skill means planning your time across all the requirements so that all tasks have been attempted at the end of the 3 hours available and actively checking on time during your exam. This is so that you can flex your approach and prioritise requirements which, in your judgement, will generate the maximum marks in the available time remaining. 这项技能意味着在 3 小时的考试时间内规划好所有要求的时间,以便在考试结束时所有任务都已尝试,并在考试期间主动检查时间。这样你就可以灵活调整方法,并优先处理那些在你判断下能在剩余时间内获得最高分数的要求。
Advice on developing Good time management 关于发展良好时间管理的建议
The exam is 3 hours long, which translates to 1.8 minutes per mark. Therefore, a 10-mark requirement should be allocated a maximum of 18 minutes to complete your answer before you move on to the next task. At the beginning of a question, work out the amount of time you should be spending on each requirement. If you take the approach of spending 10-15 minutes reading and planning at the start of the exam, adjust the time allocated to each question accordingly. 考试时长为 3 小时,相当于每分 1.8 分钟。因此,10 分的题目应最多分配 18 分钟来完成答案,然后再进行下一题。在开始做题时,计算出每道题目应花费的时间。如果你在考试开始时花 10-15 分钟进行阅读和规划,请相应调整每道题目的时间分配。
Keep an eye on the clock 注意时间
Aim to attempt all requirements, but be ready to be ruthless and move on if your answer is not going as planned. The challenge for many is sticking to planned timings. Be aware this is difficult to achieve in the early stages of your studies and be ready to let this skill develop over time. 尽量完成所有题目,但如果答案不如预期,要果断并继续前进。许多人的挑战是坚持计划的时间安排。要意识到在学习的早期阶段很难做到这一点,并准备好让这项技能随着时间的推移而发展。
If you find yourself running short on time and know that a full answer is not possible in the time you have, consider recreating your plan in overview form and then add key terms and details as time allows. Remember, some marks may be available, for example, simply stating a conclusion which you don’t have time to justify in full. 如果你发现自己时间不够,无法完整作答,可以考虑以概述形式重新制定你的计划,然后根据时间添加关键词和细节。记住,有些分数可能只需要简单地陈述一个结论,而不需要时间充分论证。

Story is a well-established, global publishing conglomerate. The corporation is structured to allow each country of operation to function as an autonomous business unit, that reports back to head office. The data from each business unit is entered onto the mainframe computer at head office. Each business unit can make use of any service offered by other business units and can also offer services to the other units. The services include translation into different languages, typesetting, printing, storage and so forth. In each country of operation there is at least one, and usually several, retail outlets. Story 是一家历史悠久、全球化的出版集团。该公司的结构使得每个运营国家都能作为一个自治的业务单位运作,并向总部汇报。每个业务单位的数据都会被录入总部的主机中。每个业务单位都可以利用其他业务单位提供的任何服务,也可以向其他单位提供服务。这些服务包括翻译成不同语言、排版、印刷、存储等。在每个运营国家中,至少有一个,通常有多个零售店。
The core business was traditionally based upon the provision of fictional stories for the mass market. For the past decade Story has diversified into publishing textbooks and technical literature. The organisation currently enjoys a good reputation in both areas of the business and global sales are increasing annually at a rate of 5%5 \% for fictional books and 2%2 \% for textbooks. Last year 700 million fictional works and 25 million textbooks were sold. 核心业务传统上基于为大众市场提供虚构故事。过去十年,Story 已多元化发展,涉足出版教科书和技术文献。该组织目前在两个业务领域都享有良好声誉,全球销售额每年以 5%5 \% 的速度增长虚构书籍,以 2%2 \% 的速度增长教科书。去年售出了 7 亿本虚构作品和 2500 万本教科书。
The corporate management team wish to increase the growth in sales of textbooks but realise that they cannot afford to allocate significant resources to this task as the market, and profit margin, for textbooks is very much smaller than for fiction. They also wish to improve the sales performance of the fictional books. 公司管理团队希望增加教科书的销售增长,但他们意识到无法为此任务分配大量资源,因为教科书的市场和利润空间远小于小说。他们还希望提高虚构书籍的销售业绩。
Story is currently having trouble in maintaining a corporate image in some countries of operation. For example, several business units may be unaware of additions to the product range. Another example is that a price change in a book is not simultaneously altered by all the business units, leading to pricing discrepancies. Story 目前在维护一些运营国家的企业形象方面遇到困难。例如,一些业务单位可能不知道产品系列的补充。另一个例子是,一本书的价格变化并未被所有业务单位同时调整,导致价格差异。
Some members of the corporate management team see possible advantages to upgrading the existing computer system to one that is fully networked. Other members are more sceptical and are reluctant to consider enhancing the system. Some members have also wondered whether big data could provide useful information to aid decision-making for Story but others think there may be problems with actually using big data. 公司管理团队的一些成员认为升级现有计算机系统到完全联网的系统可能有一些优势。其他成员则更加怀疑,不愿意考虑增强系统。还有一些成员想知道大数据是否可以提供有用的信息来帮助 Story 做出决策,但也有人认为实际使用大数据可能会存在问题。

Brick by Brick 一砖一瓦
The following scenario relates to the next five questions. 以下情景与接下来的五个问题相关。
Brick by Brick ( BBB ) is a building business that provides a range of building services to the public. Recently it has been asked to quote for garage conversions (GC) and extensions to properties (EX) and has found that it is winning fewer GC contracts than expected. In addition, BBB also produces and sells different types of brick to the construction industry. The three types of brick produced are clay, concrete and reclaimed bricks. 一砖一瓦(BBB)是一家建筑公司,为公众提供各种建筑服务。最近,它被要求为车库改造(GC)和房产扩建(EX)报价,并发现它赢得的 GC 合同比预期的要少。此外,BBB 还生产和销售不同类型的砖块给建筑行业。生产的三种砖块是粘土砖、混凝土砖和再生砖。
BBB has a policy to price all jobs at budgeted total cost plus 50%50 \%. Overheads are currently absorbed on a labour hour basis. BBB thinks that a switch to activity based costing (ABC) to absorb overheads would reduce the costs associated with GC and hence make them more competitive. BBB 的政策是所有工程按预算总成本加上 50%50 \% 定价。目前,管理费用是按人工小时数分摊的。BBB 认为,如果改用基于活动的成本核算(ABC)来分摊管理费用,将减少与 GC 相关的成本,从而使它们更具竞争力。

The directors are concerned about the performance of the two books and are wondering what the impact would be of a switch to an activity based costing (ABC) approach to accounting for overheads. They currently use absorption costing, based on number of books produced for all overhead calculations. Overheads amount to $2,880,000\$ 2,880,000. 董事们对这两本书的表现感到担忧,并想知道如果切换到基于活动的成本核算(ABC)方法来核算间接费用会有什么影响。他们目前使用吸收成本法,基于生产的书籍数量来计算所有间接费用。间接费用总额为 $2,880,000\$ 2,880,000 。
The CB will be inspected on 180 occasions next year, whereas the TJ will be inspected just 20 times. CB 明年将被检查 180 次,而 TJ 仅被检查 20 次。
Machine time per unit is six minutes for the CBC B and ten minutes for the TJT J. 每单位机器时间为 CBC B 六分钟, TJT J 十分钟。

Racquetz Co (Mar/Jun 2023) 拉奎茨公司(2023 年 3 月/6 月)
The following scenario relates to the next five questions. 以下情景与接下来的五个问题相关。
Racquetz Co is based in the country of Eastland and currently makes and sells racquets for children for three different sports: badminton, tennis and squash. The company has recently been trying to forecast expected sales and costs for the next three years. 拉奎茨公司总部位于东兰国,目前生产并销售三种不同运动的儿童球拍:羽毛球、网球和壁球。该公司最近一直在尝试预测未来三年的预期销售和成本。
20X1 20X1 年
Sales demand for 20X1 is expected to be in the ratio 4:2:1 for badminton, tennis and squash racquets, respectively. 20X1 年的销售需求预计在羽毛球、网球和壁球拍之间的比例为 4:2:1。
At the end of 20X1, Racquetz Co will stop making squash racquets. 在 20X1 年底,Racquetz 公司将停止生产壁球拍。
20X2 20X2 年
The Tennis Association Foundation, funded partly by the government, is planning an investment in the sport in order to encourage more children to take up tennis. This funding will lead to an increased number of children’s tennis facilities being available in 20X2 and a corresponding rise in the sale of tennis racquets. The sales volume ratio for the year is expected to be 3:53: 5 for badminton and tennis racquets, respectively, with a weighted average contribution to sales (C/S) ratio of 52.21%. 由部分政府资助的网球协会基金会计划投资于这项运动,以鼓励更多儿童参与网球。这笔资金将导致 20X2 年儿童网球设施的增加,并相应提高网球拍的销售量。预计该年羽毛球拍和网球拍的销售比例分别为 3:53: 5 ,加权平均销售贡献率(C/S)为 52.21%。
Racquetz Co has budgeted to sell badminton racquets for $22\$ 22 per unit and tennis racquets for $32\$ 32 per unit. Fixed costs are expected to be $604,750\$ 604,750 for the year. Racquetz 公司预算以 $22\$ 22 每单位的价格销售羽毛球拍,以 $32\$ 32 每单位的价格销售网球拍。预计该年的固定成本为 $604,750\$ 604,750 。
20X3 20X3 年
The Badminton World Championships are held every two years in a different country. In 20X3, they will be held in Eastland and Racquetz Co will be selling its badminton racquets at the event. This means that the proportion of badminton racquet sales is expected to be higher than usual in 20X3. A profit volume graph for 20X3 has been drawn as follows: 世界羽毛球锦标赛每两年在不同的国家举行一次。20X3 年,锦标赛将在东地举行,Racquetz 公司将在赛事期间销售其羽毛球拍。这意味着 20X3 年羽毛球拍的销售比例预计将高于往常。20X3 年的利润量图如下:

TCo
The following scenario relates to the next five questions. 以下情景适用于接下来的五个问题。
The Telephone Co (TCo) is a company specialising in the provision of telephone systems for commercial clients. 电话公司(TCo)是一家专门为商业客户提供电话系统的公司。
T Co has been approached by a potential customer, Push Co, which wants to install a telephone system in new offices it is opening. While the job is not a particularly large one, TCo is hopeful of future business in the form of replacement systems and support contracts for Push Co. T Co is therefore keen to quote a competitive price for the job. The following information should be considered: TCo 被一家潜在客户 Push Co 接洽,Push Co 希望在其新开的办公室安装电话系统。虽然这项工作并不特别大,但 TCo 希望未来能获得 Push Co 的替换系统和维护合同。因此,TCo 希望为这项工作提供一个有竞争力的报价。以下信息应考虑:
(1) One of the company’s salesmen has already been to visit Push Co, to give them a demonstration of the new system, together with a complimentary lunch, the costs of which totalled $400\$ 400. (1)公司的一名销售人员已经拜访了 Push Co,向他们展示了新系统,并提供了免费的午餐,总成本为 $400\$ 400 。
(2) The installation is expected to take one week to complete and would require three engineers, each of whom is paid a monthly salary of $4,000\$ 4,000. The engineers have just had their annually renewable contract renewed with T Co. One of the three engineers has spare capacity to complete the work, but the other two would have to be moved from Contract XX in order to complete this one. Contract XX generates a contribution of $200\$ 200 per engineer per week. There are no other engineers available to continue with Contract XX if these two engineers are taken off the job. It would mean that T Co would miss its contractual completion deadline on Contract X by one week. As a result, T Co would have to pay a one-off penalty of $500\$ 500. Since there is no other work scheduled for their engineers in one week’s time, it will not be a problem for them to complete Contract XX at this point. (2)安装预计需要一周时间完成,并且需要三名工程师,每名工程师的月薪为 $4,000\$ 4,000 。这些工程师刚刚与 T 公司续签了每年可续签的合同。其中一名工程师有足够的时间来完成这项工作,但另外两名工程师需要从合同 XX 中调出以完成这项工作。合同 XX 每名工程师每周产生的贡献为 $200\$ 200 。如果这两名工程师被调离,将没有其他工程师可以继续执行合同 XX 。这意味着 T 公司将无法按时完成合同 X 的期限,并需要支付一次性罚款 $500\$ 500 。由于一周后工程师们没有其他工作安排,他们可以在此时完成合同 XX 。
(3) 120 telephone handsets would need to be supplied to Push Co. The current cost of these is $18.20\$ 18.20 each, although T Co already has 80 handsets in inventory. These were bought at a price of $16.80\$ 16.80 each. The handsets are the most popular model on the market and are frequently requested by T Co’s customers. 需要向 Push Co.供应 120 部电话机。这些电话机的当前成本为每部 $18.20\$ 18.20 ,尽管 T Co.已经有 80 部电话机在库存中。这些电话机是以每部 $16.80\$ 16.80 的价格购买的。这些电话机是市场上最受欢迎的型号,经常被 T Co.的客户要求。
(4) Push Co would also need a computerised control system called ‘Swipe 2’. The current market price of Swipe 2 is $10,800\$ 10,800, although T Co has an older version of the system, ‘Swipe 1’, in inventory, which could be modified at a cost of $4,600\$ 4,600. T Co paid $5,400\$ 5,400 for Swipe 1 when it ordered it in error two months ago and has no other use for it. The current market price of Swipe 1 is $5,450\$ 5,450, although if TT Co tried to sell the one it has, it would be deemed to be ‘used’ and therefore only worth $3,000\$ 3,000. (4) Push Co 还需要一个名为‘Swipe 2’的计算机化控制系统。目前 Swipe 2 的市场价格为 $10,800\$ 10,800 ,尽管 T Co 库存中有一个旧版本的系统‘Swipe 1’,可以以 $4,600\$ 4,600 的成本进行修改。T Co 在两个月前错误订购 Swipe 1 时支付了 $5,400\$ 5,400 ,并且没有其他用途。目前 Swipe 1 的市场价格为 $5,450\$ 5,450 ,尽管如果 TT Co 尝试出售其拥有的那一台,它将被视为‘二手’,因此只值 $3,000\$ 3,000 。

Skulpt Co (Sep/Dec 2022) Skulpt 公司(2022 年 9 月/12 月)
The following scenario relates to the next five questions. 以下情景适用于接下来的五个问题。
Skulpt Co is a manufacturer of electronic goods. One electronic device it produces and sells is the GSA. There are between 30 to 50 other suppliers of similar, but not identical, devices in Skulpt Co’s markets. Each producer enjoys varying levels of customer and brand loyalty. Skulpt 公司是一家电子产品的制造商。它生产并销售的一款电子设备是 GSA。在 Skulpt 公司的市场中,有 30 到 50 家其他供应商提供类似但不完全相同的设备。每个生产商都享有不同程度的客户和品牌忠诚度。
The current selling price for the GSA is $250\$ 250 and Skulpt Co’s directors are considering a reduction in price to $230\$ 230. Market research commissioned by the company has suggested that the price elasticity of demand for the GSA is 1.25 . GSA 的当前售价为 $250\$ 250 ,Skulpt Co 的董事们正在考虑将价格降低到 $230\$ 230 。公司委托的市场研究表明,GSA 的需求价格弹性为 1.25。
The same market research suggests that the price § schedule and marginal revenue (MR) schedule for the GSA in its current markets are as follows: 同样的市场研究表明,GSA 在当前市场中的价格§表和边际收益(MR)表如下: P=450-0.2 QP=450-0.2 Q
MR = 450-0.4Q
Production and selling costs for one GSA are as follows: 一台 GSA 的生产和销售成本如下:
New customer order 新客户订单
A new customer, LOK Co, has approached Skulpt Co with a bespoke, one-off order of 5,000 units of the GSA. The units will be produced in Skulpt Co’s factory along with all of its usual production and delivered to LOK Co using Skulpt Co’s usual distribution channels. The order is considered bespoke as LOK Co has requested some additional finishing in the production process which will generate an extra production cost of $6\$ 6 per unit. The units must also be delivered using a special packaging costing $2\$ 2 per unit. The special packaging will be paid for and supplied by LOK Co. 一家新客户 LOK Co 向 Skulpt Co 提出了一份定制的一次性订单,要求生产 5000 单位的 GSA。这些单位将在 Skulpt Co 的工厂中与其常规生产一起生产,并通过 Skulpt Co 的常规分销渠道交付给 LOK Co。由于 LOK Co 要求在生产过程中进行一些额外的精加工,这将产生每单位 $6\$ 6 的额外生产成本。这些单位还必须使用特殊的包装交付,每单位的包装成本为 $2\$ 2 。特殊包装将由 LOK Co 支付并提供。
The variable production cost of the GSA includes the current purchase price of $7 per unit for an electronic chip. As the GSA is a popular product the chips are in constant use and Skulpt Co has sufficient inventory of these chips to satisfy LOK Co’s order. The chips in inventory were purchased several months ago at a discounted rate of $5\$ 5 each. GSA 的变动生产成本包括每个电子芯片的当前采购价格$7。由于 GSA 是一种受欢迎的产品,这些芯片一直在使用,Skulpt Co 有足够的库存来满足 LOK Co 的订单。库存中的芯片是几个月前以每个 $5\$ 5 的折扣价购买的。
A mark-up of 20%20 \% is usually added for all one-off orders. 通常对所有一次性订单加价 20%20 \% 。
New market 新市场
Skulpt Co wants to sell to the country of Harekish, which now allows the sale of the GSA, following a change in its laws. Skulpt Co’s objectives are to: Skulpt Co 希望销售到 Harekish 国家,该国家现在允许销售 GSA,因为其法律发生了变化。Skulpt Co 的目标是:
Set a minimum acceptable price which is most likely to discourage new entrants; and 设定一个最有可能阻止新进入者的最低可接受价格;
Shorten the initial period of the product life cycle in Harekish to reach the growth and maturity stages quickly. 缩短 Harekish 国家产品生命周期的初始阶段,以快速进入增长和成熟阶段。

Health Nuts is a fitness centre, offering ‘pay as you go’ gym facilities. It has a fully fitted gym with the capacity to accommodate 200 users at one time. It also has 100 car parking spaces and an onsite café, both of which are only for customers using the gym. The fitness centre has shower facilities for customers and Health Nuts provides all customers with a clean towel to use on entry. It is open 360 days a year, from 7.00 am until 9.00 pm . 健康坚果是一家健身中心,提供“按次付费”的健身房设施。它拥有一个设备齐全的健身房,可同时容纳 200 名用户。它还拥有 100 个停车位和一个现场咖啡馆,这两者仅供使用健身房的顾客使用。健身中心为顾客提供淋浴设施,健康坚果在顾客进入时提供一条干净的毛巾。它每年开放 360 天,从早上 7:00 到晚上 9:00。
Customers pay $8.40\$ 8.40 for access to the gym for one hour plus unlimited time in the café. If customers want to use the car park, they have to pay an additional $1 per visit and 80%80 \% of visiting customers use the car park. Health Nuts has been monitoring the number of customers attending throughout each day for the month of June, which was considered to be an average month, and for which Health Nuts was open for 30 days. It has determined that the average number of customers per day is 330 with 40 of these customers attending during the time of 9.00 am to 5.00 pm . 顾客支付 $8.40\$ 8.40 以使用健身房一小时,并在咖啡馆无限时间停留。如果顾客想使用停车场,他们需要额外支付每次 1 美元,且 80%80 \% 的顾客使用停车场。健康坚果已经监测了整个 6 月每天的顾客数量,6 月被认为是一个平均月份,健康坚果在该月开放了 30 天。它确定平均每天有 330 名顾客,其中 40 名顾客在上午 9:00 到下午 5:00 之间到访。
The total costs of the fitness centre for June, excluding the café, have also been recorded and analysed as follows: 健身中心 6 月的总成本(不包括咖啡馆)也已记录并分析如下:
Fixed costs per month 每月固定成本
$48,000\$ 48,000
Variable cost per customer 每位客户的变动成本
$1.20\$ 1.20
Fixed costs per month $48,000
Variable cost per customer $1.20| Fixed costs per month | $\$ 48,000$ |
| :--- | :--- |
| Variable cost per customer | $\$ 1.20$ |
On average, half of the customers also used the café in June, with an average spend per customer of $2.20\$ 2.20. Of this spend, 60%60 \% related to drinks, which have a profit margin of 60%60 \%, and the remainder related to food items, which have a profit margin of 40%40 \%. The specific fixed costs associated with running the café are $3,600\$ 3,600 for the month. 平均而言,六月份有一半的客户也使用了咖啡馆,每位客户的平均消费为 $2.20\$ 2.20 。其中, 60%60 \% 与饮料相关,饮料的利润率为 60%60 \% ,其余部分与食品相关,食品的利润率为 40%40 \% 。咖啡馆运营的特定固定成本为 $3,600\$ 3,600 。
Crèche proposal 托儿所提案
After reviewing all of the above information, the manager of Health Nuts has put together a proposal to close the café at the fitness centre and convert it into a crèche for children. This would mean that parents could leave their children in the crèche whilst they use the fitness centre between the hours of 9.00 am and 5.00 pm only. The charge for the crèche would be $4\$ 4 per child, per hour. 在审查了上述所有信息后,Health Nuts 的经理提出了一个建议,关闭健身中心的咖啡馆,并将其改为儿童托儿所。这意味着父母可以在上午 9 点到下午 5 点之间将孩子留在托儿所,同时使用健身中心。托儿所的收费为每个孩子每小时 $4\$ 4 。
Initial research suggests that customers have an average of two children each. The crèche is expected to attract new customers and increase the average number of customers between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm by 300%300 \%. Only these new customers will use the crèche facilities. Car park usage is expected to continue to be 80%80 \%. The fixed costs associated with running the creche are estimated to be $8,000\$ 8,000 per month, with a variable cost of $0.50\$ 0.50 per child, per hour. 初步研究表明,每位顾客平均有两个孩子。预计托儿所将吸引新顾客,并在上午 9 点到下午 5 点之间增加平均顾客数量 300%300 \% 。只有这些新顾客会使用托儿所设施。预计停车场的使用率将继续为 80%80 \% 。运营托儿所的固定成本估计为每月 $8,000\$ 8,000 ,每个孩子每小时的变动成本为 $0.50\$ 0.50 。
Belton Park Resort is a new theme park resort located in the country of Beeland. The resort is made up of a theme park, a hotel and an indoor water park. The resort opened two months ago and is already very popular. 贝尔顿公园度假村是一个位于比兰国的新主题公园度假村。该度假村由主题公园、酒店和室内水上乐园组成。度假村两个月前开业,已经非常受欢迎。
As all theme parks in Beeland are required, by law, to shut down in the colder month of January because of the risk of accidents, Belton Park Resort must decide whether to shut down the whole resort or just the theme park. It could choose to keep open the hotel and/or the water park. 根据比兰国的法律规定,所有主题公园在寒冷的 1 月份必须关闭,以防止事故发生。贝尔顿公园度假村必须决定是关闭整个度假村还是仅关闭主题公园。它可以选择保持酒店和/或水上乐园的开放。
Since Belton Park Resort has not been open for long, there is limited historical data available about costs and revenues. However, based on the last two months, the following average monthly data is available: 由于贝尔顿公园度假村开业时间不长,关于成本和收入的可用历史数据有限。然而,基于过去两个月的数据,以下是可用的平均月度数据:
Hotel 酒店
Number of rooms … 120 房间数量 … 120
Average room rate per night … $100\$ 100 平均每晚房价 … $100\$ 100
Average occupancy rate per month … 90% 每月平均入住率…90%
Average nightly spend on ‘extras’ per room … $20 每间房每晚的“额外”消费平均…20 美元
Contribution margin for ‘extras’* … 60% “额外项目”的贡献毛利率* … 60%
Water park 水上乐园
Number of visitors per month … 12,000 每月访客数量 … 12,000
Admission price per visitor … $21 每位访客的入场价格 … $21
Average spend on ‘extras’ per visitor … $12 每位访客在“额外项目”上的平均花费 … $12
Contribution margin for ‘extras’* … 60% “额外项目”的贡献毛利率* … 60%
‘Extras’ includes anything purchased by the customer not included in the room rate or admission price. ‘额外费用’包括顾客购买的任何不包括在房费或门票价格中的项目。
Management estimates that, for January, the average room rate per night would need to decrease by 30%30 \% and the admission price for the water park by 20%20 \%. With such reductions, it is estimated that an occupancy rate of 50%50 \% would be achieved for the hotel and that the number of visitors to the water park would be 52%52 \% lower than current levels. The average nightly spend on ‘extras’ per room of $20 at the hotel and $12 per customer at the water park is expected to remain unchanged. 管理层估计,在一月份,每晚的平均房费需要减少 30%30 \% ,水上乐园的门票价格需要减少 20%20 \% 。在这样的降价情况下,预计酒店的入住率将达到 50%50 \% ,而水上乐园的游客数量将比当前水平低 52%52 \% 。酒店每间房每晚的‘额外费用’平均支出为 20 美元,水上乐园每位顾客的‘额外费用’平均支出为 12 美元,预计将保持不变。
The running costs for the hotel and water park for each of the last two months are as follows: 过去两个月酒店和水上乐园的运营成本如下:
Permanent staff Included in the staff costs for the hotel is the salary of $30,000\$ 30,000 per annum for the hotel manager and $24,000\$ 24,000 per annum for the head chef. These are both permanent members of staff who are paid for the full year regardless of their working hours. 酒店的员工成本中包括酒店经理的年薪 $30,000\$ 30,000 和主厨的年薪 $24,000\$ 24,000 。他们都是永久员工,无论工作时间如何,全年都会获得薪酬。
The water park employs one permanent member of staff, the manager, on a salary of $24,000 who is also paid for the full year regardless of their working hours. 水上乐园雇佣了一名永久员工,即经理,年薪为 24,000 美元,无论工作时间如何,全年都会获得薪酬。
Temporary staff 临时员工
The remaining staff costs relate to temporary staff who are only paid for the hours they work. If the hotel stays open in January, half of these staff members will continue to work their current hours because their jobs are largely unaffected by guest occupancy rates. However, the other half of the staff will work proportionately less hours to reflect the 50%50 \% occupancy rate in January as opposed to the 90%90 \% occupancy rate of the last two months. 剩余的员工成本与临时员工有关,他们只按工作时间获得报酬。如果酒店在一月份继续营业,其中一半的员工将继续按照当前的工作时间工作,因为他们的工作在很大程度上不受客人入住率的影响。然而,另一半员工的工作时间将按比例减少,以反映一月份的 50%50 \% 入住率,而不是过去两个月的 90%90 \% 入住率。
At the water park, the temporary staff’s working hours will fall according to the number of visitors, hence a fall of 52%52 \% would be expected for January. 在水上乐园,临时员工的工作时间将根据游客数量减少,因此预计一月份的工作时间将减少 52%52 \% 。
2 Maintenance costs 2 维护成本
Maintenance is undertaken by a local company, ‘Techworks’, which bills Belton Park Resort for all work carried out each month. If the hotel and water park are closed, Techworks will instead be paid a flat fee for the month of $4,000\$ 4,000 for the hotel and $2,000\$ 2,000 for the water park. 维护工作由当地公司“Techworks”负责,该公司每月为贝尔顿公园度假村进行的所有工作开具账单。如果酒店和水上乐园关闭,Techworks 将改为收取酒店 $4,000\$ 4,000 和水上乐园 $2,000\$ 2,000 的固定费用。
3 Power costs 3 电力成本
Electricity Belton 贝尔顿电力
Park Resort pays a fixed monthly charge for electricity of $8,000\$ 8,000 for the hotel and $7,000\$ 7,000 for the water park, all year round. 帕克度假村每年为酒店支付 $8,000\$ 8,000 的固定月电费,为水上乐园支付 $7,000\$ 7,000 的固定月电费。
Gas 天然气
The gas charges relate to heating and include a fixed charge of $2,200 per month for the hotel and $1,500\$ 1,500 per month for the water park. The remainder of the gas charges is based solely on usage and would be expected to increase by 50%50 \% in January because of the colder weather. 燃气费用与供暖相关,包括酒店每月固定费用 2200 美元和水乐园每月 $1,500\$ 1,500 。其余燃气费用仅基于使用量,并且由于天气变冷,预计一月份会增加 50%50 \% 。
4 Security costs 4 安全成本
If the hotel and water park close, no changes will be made to the current arrangements for security whilst the premises are empty. 如果酒店和水乐园关闭,在场所空置期间,当前的安保安排将不会发生变化。
5 Water costs 5 水费
It is estimated that water costs for the hotel would fall to $6,450\$ 6,450 for the month if it remains open in January. However, the water costs for the water park would be expected to remain at their current level. If the hotel and water park were closed, all water would be turned off and no charges would arise. 据估计,如果酒店在一月份保持开放,其水费将降至 $6,450\$ 6,450 。然而,水上乐园的水费预计将保持在当前水平。如果酒店和水上乐园关闭,所有供水将被关闭,不会产生任何费用。

Robber Co manufactures control panels for burglar alarms, a very profitable product. Every product comes with a one-year warranty offering free repairs if any faults arise in this period. Robber 公司生产防盗报警器的控制面板,这是一种非常盈利的产品。每个产品都附带一年的保修期,如果在此期间出现任何故障,将提供免费维修。
It currently produces and sells 80,000 units per annum, with production of them being restricted by the short supply of labour. Each control panel includes two main components - one key pad and one display screen. At present, Robber Co manufactures both of these components in-house. However, the company is currently considering outsourcing the production of keypads and/or display screens. A newly established company based in Burgistan is keen to secure a place in the market, and has offered to supply the keypads for the equivalent of $4.10\$ 4.10 per unit and the display screens for the equivalent of $4.30\$ 4.30 per unit. This price has been guaranteed for two years. 目前,公司每年生产和销售 80,000 台,生产受到劳动力短缺的限制。每个控制面板包括两个主要组件——一个键盘和一个显示屏。目前,Robber 公司自行生产这两个组件。然而,公司正在考虑将键盘和/或显示屏的生产外包。一家位于 Burgistan 的新成立公司渴望在市场上占据一席之地,并已提出以每台 $4.10\$ 4.10 的价格供应键盘,以每台 $4.30\$ 4.30 的价格供应显示屏。这个价格已经保证两年不变。
The current total annual costs of producing the keypads and the display screens are: 目前生产键盘和显示屏的年度总成本为:

Notes. 注释
1 Materials costs for keypads are expected to increase by 5% in six months’ time; materials costs for display screens are only expected to increase by 2%2 \%, but with immediate effect. 1 键盘的材料成本预计在六个月内增加 5%;显示屏的材料成本预计仅增加 2%2 \% ,但立即生效。
2 Direct labour costs are purely variable and not expected to change over the next year. 2 直接人工成本完全是可变的,预计在未来一年内不会发生变化。
3 Heat and power costs include an apportionment of the general factory overhead for heat and power as well as the costs of heat and power directly used for the production of keypads and display screens. The general apportionment included is calculated using 50% of the direct labour cost for each component and would be incurred irrespective of whether the components are manufactured in-house or not. 3 热力和电力成本包括一般工厂热力和电力的分摊成本,以及直接用于生产键盘和显示屏的热力和电力成本。包含的一般分摊成本是按每个组件的直接人工成本的 50%计算的,无论组件是否在内部制造,都会产生。
4 Machine costs are semi-variable; the variable element relates to set-up costs, which are based upon the number of batches made. The keypads’ machine has fixed costs of $4,000\$ 4,000 per annum and the display screens’ machine has fixed costs of $6,000\$ 6,000 per annum. Whilst both components are currently made in batches of 500 , this would need to change, with immediate effect, to batches of 400 . 机器成本是半变动的;变动部分与设置成本相关,设置成本基于生产的批次数量。键盘机器的固定成本为每年 $4,000\$ 4,000 ,显示屏机器的固定成本为每年 $6,000\$ 6,000 。虽然目前两种组件都是以 500 个为一批生产的,但需要立即改为以 400 个为一批。 560%560 \% of depreciation and insurance costs relate to an apportionment of the general factory depreciation and insurance costs; the remaining 40%40 \% is specific to the manufacture of keypads and display screens. 560%560 \% 的折旧和保险成本与工厂一般折旧和保险成本的分摊有关;剩余的 40%40 \% 是专门用于键盘和显示屏的生产。
Required 要求
(a) Advise Robber Co whether it should continue to manufacture the keypads and display screens in-house or whether it should outsource their manufacture to the supplier in Burgistan, assuming it continues to adopt a policy to limit manufacture and sales to 80,000 control panels in the coming year.

TR Co is a pharmaceutical company which researches, develops and manufactures a wide range of drugs. One of these drugs, ‘Parapain’, is a pain relief drug used for the treatment of headaches and until last month TR Co had a patent on Parapain which prevented other companies from manufacturing it. The patent has now expired and several competitors have already entered the market with similar versions of Parapain, which are made using the same active ingredients. TR Co 是一家制药公司,研究、开发和制造多种药物。其中一种药物“Parapain”是一种用于治疗头痛的止痛药,直到上个月,TR Co 还拥有 Parapain 的专利,防止其他公司制造它。该专利现已到期,几家竞争对手已经进入市场,推出了使用相同活性成分的类似版本的 Parapain。
TR Co is reviewing its pricing policy in light of the changing market. It has carried out some market research in an attempt to establish an optimum price for Parapain. The research has established that for every $2\$ 2 decrease in price, demand would be expected to increase by 5,000 batches, with maximum demand for Parapain being one million batches. TR Co 正在根据市场变化审查其定价策略。它进行了一些市场调研,试图为 Parapain 确定一个最佳价格。调研表明,每降低 $2\$ 2 的价格,需求预计将增加 5,000 批,Parapain 的最大需求为一百万批。
Each batch of Parapain is currently made using the following materials: 目前每批 Parapain 使用以下材料制成:
Material Z: 500 grams at $0.10\$ 0.10 per gram 材料 Z:500 克,每克 $0.10\$ 0.10
Material Y: 300 grams at $0.50\$ 0.50 per gram 材料 Y:300 克,每克 $0.50\$ 0.50
Each batch of Parapain requires 20 minutes of machine time to make and the variable running costs for machine time are $6\$ 6 per hour. The fixed production overhead cost is expected to be $2\$ 2 per batch for the period, based on a budgeted production level of 250,000 batches. 每批 Parapain 需要 20 分钟的机器时间制作,机器时间的可变运行成本为每小时 $6\$ 6 。预计本期的固定生产间接费用为每批 $2\$ 2 ,基于预算生产水平为 250,000 批。
The skilled workers who have been working on Parapain until now are being moved onto the production of TR Co’s new and unique anti-malaria drug which cost millions of dollars to develop. TR Co has obtained a patent for this revolutionary drug and it is expected to save millions of lives. No other similar drug exists and, whilst demand levels are unknown, the launch of the drug is eagerly anticipated all over the world. 一直在生产 Parapain 的熟练工人现在被调去生产 TR 公司新研发的独特抗疟疾药物,该药物的研发耗资数百万美元。TR 公司已获得这项革命性药物的专利,预计将拯救数百万人的生命。目前没有其他类似的药物存在,虽然需求水平尚不明确,但全世界都在热切期待这款药物的推出。
Agency staff, who are completely new to the production of Parapain and cost $18\$ 18 per hour, will be brought in to produce Parapain for the foreseeable future. Experience has shown there will be a significant learning curve involved in making Parapain as it is extremely difficult to handle. The first batch of Parapain made using one of the agency workers took five hours to make. However, it is believed that an 80%80 \% learning curve exists, in relation to production of the drug, and this will continue until the first 1,000 batches have been completed. TR Co’s management has said that any pricing decisions about Parapain should be based on the time it takes to make the 1,000th batch of the drug. 临时员工,他们对 Parapain 的生产完全陌生,每小时成本为 $18\$ 18 ,将在可预见的未来被引入来生产 Parapain。经验表明,由于 Parapain 极其难以处理,生产过程中将涉及显著的学习曲线。使用其中一名临时员工制作的第一批 Parapain 花费了五个小时。然而,据信存在 80%80 \% 的学习曲线,与药物的生产相关,并且这种情况将持续到完成前 1,000 批次。TR Co 的管理层表示,关于 Parapain 的任何定价决策都应基于制作第 1,000 批次药物所需的时间。
Note. The learning co-efficient, b=-0.321928b=-0.321928 注意。学习系数, b=-0.321928b=-0.321928
Required 要求
(a) Calculate the optimum (profit-maximising) selling price for Parapain and the resulting annual profit which TR Co will make from charging this price. (a) 计算 Parapain 的最佳(利润最大化)销售价格以及 TR Co 通过收取此价格将获得的年度利润。

(b) Discuss and recommend whether market penetration or market skimming would be the most suitable pricing strategy for TR Co when launching the new anti-malaria drug. (b) 讨论并推荐市场渗透或市场撇脂策略是否最适合 TR 公司在推出新型抗疟疾药物时采用。
173 The Alka Hotel (Mar/Jun 2018) 173 阿尔卡酒店(2018 年 3 月/6 月)
The Alka Hotel is situated in a major city close to many theatres and restaurants. 阿尔卡酒店位于一座主要城市,靠近许多剧院和餐厅。
The Alka Hotel has 25 double bedrooms and it charges guests $180\$ 180 per room per night, regardless of single or double occupancy. The hotel’s variable cost is $60\$ 60 per occupied room per night. 阿尔卡酒店有 25 间双人卧室,无论单人还是双人入住,每间房每晚收费 $180\$ 180 。酒店每间入住房间的每晚可变成本为 $60\$ 60 。
The Alka Hotel is open for 365 days a year and has a 70%70 \% budgeted occupancy rate. Fixed costs are budgeted at $600,000\$ 600,000 a year and accrue evenly throughout the year. 阿尔卡酒店全年开放 365 天,预算入住率为 70%70 \% 。固定成本预算为每年 $600,000\$ 600,000 ,并且在全年内均匀分摊。
During the first quarter (Q1) of the year the room occupancy rates are significantly below the levels expected at other times of the year with the Alka Hotel expecting to sell 900 occupied room nights during Q1. Options to improve profitability are being considered, including closing the hotel for the duration of Q1 or adopting one of two possible projects as follows: 在第一季度(Q1),房间入住率显著低于其他时间段的预期水平,阿尔卡酒店预计在 Q1 期间售出 900 个入住房间夜。正在考虑提高盈利能力的选项,包括在 Q1 期间关闭酒店或采用以下两个可能的项目之一:
Project 1 - Theatre package 项目 1 - 剧院套餐
For Q1 only the Alka Hotel management would offer guests a ‘theatre package’. Couples who pay for two consecutive nights at a special rate of $67.50\$ 67.50 per room night will also receive a pair of theatre tickets for a payment of $100\$ 100. The theatre tickets are very good value and are the result of long negotiation between the Alka Hotel management and the local theatre. The theatre tickets cost the Alka Hotel $95 a pair. The Alka Hotel’s fixed costs specific to this project (marketing and administration) are budgeted at $20,000\$ 20,000. 仅在 Q1 期间,阿尔卡酒店管理层将为客人提供“剧院套餐”。以每晚 $67.50\$ 67.50 的特殊价格连续入住两晚的夫妇还将获得一对剧院门票,价格为 $100\$ 100 。剧院门票非常划算,这是阿尔卡酒店管理层与当地剧院长期谈判的结果。剧院门票每对成本为 95 美元。阿尔卡酒店此项目的固定成本(营销和行政管理)预算为 $20,000\$ 20,000 。
The hotel’s management believes that the ‘theatre package’ will have no effect on their usual Q1 customers, who are all business travellers and who have no interest in theatre tickets, but will still require their usual rooms. 酒店管理层认为,“剧院套餐”不会影响他们第一季度的常客,这些客人都是商务旅行者,对剧院门票没有兴趣,但仍需要他们通常的房间。
Project 2 - Restaurant 项目 2 - 餐厅
There is scope to extend the Alka Hotel and create enough space to operate a restaurant for the benefit of its guests. The annual costs, revenues and volumes for the combined restaurant and hotel are illustrated in the following graph: 有机会扩建阿尔卡酒店,并创造足够的空间来运营一家餐厅,以惠及其客人。以下图表展示了餐厅和酒店合并后的年度成本、收入和客流量:

Keytone Co is a recently established business specialising in the manufacture of a range of products for the fitness and health food market. It has recently developed a new product, ‘Protein Power’, which it is almost ready to launch. Keytone Co estimates that demand will be between 3,000 and 4,000 units per month, but Protein Power can only be manufactured in batches of 500 units. Therefore, Keytone Co must decide whether to manufacture 3,000, 3,500 or 4,000 units. Given the short shelf life of Protein Power, any units remaining unsold at the end of each month must be thrown away and have no scrap value. Keytone 公司是一家新成立的企业,专注于健身和健康食品市场的一系列产品制造。该公司最近开发了一款新产品“蛋白质力量”,并准备推出。Keytone 公司估计每月的需求量在 3,000 到 4,000 单位之间,但“蛋白质力量”只能以 500 单位为一组进行生产。因此,Keytone 公司必须决定是生产 3,000、3,500 还是 4,000 单位。由于“蛋白质力量”的保质期较短,每月末未售出的单位必须丢弃,且没有残值。
The variable production cost of making one unit of Protein Power is as follows: 生产一单位“蛋白质力量”的变动成本如下:

Protein Power will be processed on Machine X. Every time the machine is set up for a new batch of 500 units, it must be cleaned and inspected at a total cost of $240\$ 240. 蛋白质能量将在机器 X 上进行加工。每次机器为新的 500 单位批次进行设置时,必须进行清洁和检查,总成本为 $240\$ 240 。
In addition to the above production costs, Keytone Co incurs selling and distribution costs of $0.90 for every unit sold. 除了上述生产成本外,Keytone 公司每销售一单位产品还会产生 0.90 美元的销售和分销成本。
Keytone Co has launched only one other similar product and, based on the information from that launch, has estimated that the probabilities associated with each demand level for Protein Power are as follows: Keytone 公司只推出过一种类似产品,根据该产品的推出信息,公司估计蛋白质能量在不同需求水平下的概率如下:
However, whilst Keytone Co believes that it could achieve a selling price of $35\$ 35 per unit of Protein Power to sell up to 3,500 units, it would need to charge a lower selling price of $33\$ 33 per unit, for ALL units sold, to achieve a sales volume above this. 然而,尽管 Keytone 公司认为它可以以 $35\$ 35 每单位的价格销售 Protein Power,以销售多达 3,500 单位,但如果要实现超过这一数量的销售量,它需要以 $33\$ 33 每单位的价格销售所有单位。
The managing director is very risk averse and is concerned that the probabilities noted above may not be accurate. They have been in discussions with a local market research company who has offered to provide, for a fee, 100%100 \% accurate information about the actual demand level for Protein Power. 总经理非常厌恶风险,担心上述概率可能不准确。他们一直在与当地一家市场研究公司讨论,该公司愿意提供 100%100 \% 关于 Protein Power 实际需求水平的准确信息,但需要收取费用。

Elm Co 埃尔姆公司
The following scenario relates to the next five questions. 以下情景与接下来的五个问题相关。
Elm Co is a company which operates in Sealand. Elm Co budgeted to sell 25,000 units of a new product during the year. The budgeted sales price was $8\$ 8 per unit, and the variable cost $4\$ 4 per unit. 艾姆公司是一家在西兰岛运营的公司。艾姆公司预算在年内销售 25,000 件新产品。预算销售价格为每件 $8\$ 8 ,可变成本为每件 $4\$ 4 。
Actual sales during the year were 22,000 units and variable costs of sales were $88,000\$ 88,000. Sales revenue was only $9\$ 9 per unit. With the benefit of hindsight, it is realised that the budgeted sales price of $8\$ 8 was too low, and a price of $10\$ 10 per unit would have been much more realistic. 实际年销售量为 22,000 件,销售可变成本为 $88,000\$ 88,000 。每件销售收入仅为 $9\$ 9 。事后看来,预算销售价格 $8\$ 8 确实太低了,而每件 $10\$ 10 的价格会更加现实。

271 Mic Co (December 2013) 271 Mic Co(2013 年 12 月)
Mic Co prodkappauces microphones for mobile phones and operates a standard costing system. Before production commenced, the standard labour time per batch for its latest microphone was estimated to be 200 hours. The standard labour cost per hour is $12\$ 12 and resource allocation and cost data were therefore initially prepared on this basis. Mic Co 为手机生产麦克风,并采用标准成本制度。在生产开始之前,其最新麦克风的每批标准工时估计为 200 小时。每小时的标准人工成本为 $12\$ 12 ,因此资源分配和成本数据最初都是基于此准备的。
Production of the microphone started in July and the number of batches assembled and sold each month was as follows: 麦克风的生产于 7 月开始,每月组装和销售的批次数量如下:

The first batch took 200 hours to make, as anticipated, but, during the first four months of production, a learning effect of 88%88 \% was observed, although this finished at the end of October. The learning formula is shown on the formula sheet and at the 88%88 \% learning rate the value of bb is -0.1844245 . 第一批产品的生产耗时 200 小时,如预期所示,但在前四个月的生产过程中,观察到了 88%88 \% 的学习效应,尽管这一效应在十月底结束。学习公式显示在公式表上,在 88%88 \% 的学习率下, bb 的值为-0.1844245。
Mic Co uses ‘cost plus’ pricing to establish selling prices for all its products. Sales of its new microphone in the first five months have been disappointing. The sales manager has blamed the production department for getting the labour cost so wrong, as this, in turn, caused the price to be too high. The production manager has disclaimed all responsibility, saying that, ‘as usual, the managing director prepared the budgets alone and didn’t consult me and, had they bothered to do so, I would have told them that a learning curve was expected.’ Mic Co 公司使用“成本加成”定价法来为所有产品设定销售价格。其新麦克风在前五个月的销售情况令人失望。销售经理将责任归咎于生产部门,认为他们错误地计算了人工成本,这反过来导致了价格过高。生产经理则推卸了所有责任,称“像往常一样,总经理独自制定了预算,没有咨询我,如果他们这么做了,我会告诉他们预计会出现学习曲线。”

Notes. 注释
1 Rent, rates and other overheads are apportioned to its restaurants by Yumi Co’s head office, based on a fixed annual charge. 租金、税率和其他管理费用由 Yumi 公司的总部根据固定的年度费用分摊到其餐厅。
2 All other budgeted costs are treated as variable costs, based on the expected number of customers. 所有其他预算成本被视为可变成本,基于预期的顾客数量。
Yumi Co currently adopts an incremental approach to budgeting, with the annual budget figures for each year being based on the previous year’s figures. However, a new finance director has recently joined the company, and has questioned whether this is suitable for all Yumi Co’s restaurants. Yumi 公司目前采用增量预算方法,每年的预算数据基于上一年的数据。然而,一位新的财务总监最近加入公司,并质疑这是否适合 Yumi 公司的所有餐厅。
The new finance director has also suggested that the company should adopt a more participative approach to budgeting. 新财务总监还建议公司应采用更参与式的预算方法。
Crumbly Cakes makes cakes, which are sold directly to the public. The new production manager (a celebrity chef) has argued that the business should use only organic ingredients in its cake production. Organic ingredients are more expensive but should produce a product with an improved flavour and give health benefits for the customers. It was hoped that this would stimulate demand and enable an immediate price increase for the cakes. Crumbly Cakes 生产蛋糕,直接销售给公众。新的生产经理(一位名人厨师)认为,企业应该只使用有机成分来生产蛋糕。有机成分更昂贵,但应该能生产出风味更佳的产品,并为顾客带来健康益处。希望这能刺激需求,并能够立即提高蛋糕的价格。
Crumbly Cakes operates a responsibility-based standard costing system which allocates variances to specific individuals. The individual managers are paid a bonus only when net favourable variances are allocated to them. Crumbly Cakes 采用基于责任的标准成本核算系统,将差异分配给特定的个人。只有当净有利差异分配给他们时,这些经理才能获得奖金。
The new organic cake production approach was adopted at the start of March 20X9, following a decision by the new production manager. No change was made at that time to the standard costs card. The variance reports for February and March are shown below (Fav = Favourable and Adv = Adverse). 新的有机蛋糕生产方法在 20X9 年 3 月初被采纳,这是由新的生产经理决定的。当时没有对标准成本卡进行任何更改。二月和三月的差异报告如下所示(Fav = 有利,Adv = 不利)。

The production manager is upset that they seem to have lost all hope of a bonus under the new system. The sales manager thinks the new organic cakes are excellent and is very pleased with the progress made. 生产经理对新制度下似乎已经失去所有奖金希望感到沮丧。销售经理认为新的有机蛋糕非常出色,并对取得的进展感到非常满意。
Crumbly Cakes operates a JIT inventory system and holds virtually no inventory. Crumbly Cakes 采用准时制(JIT)库存系统,几乎不持有库存。

274 Medical Temp Co (Mar/Jun 2021) 274 医疗临时公司 (2021 年 3 月/6 月)
Medical Temp Co (MTC) is one of several agencies in Sictopia supplying medical staff, both nurses and doctors, under temporary weekly contracts to local hospitals. 医疗临时公司(MTC)是 Sictopia 地区多家提供医疗人员的机构之一,为当地医院提供临时每周合同的护士和医生。

The increase in the national market for the supply of temporary nurses is due to a shortage of fulltime nurses in Sictopia. 临时护士全国市场供应的增加是由于 Sictopia 全职护士的短缺。
All agencies in Sictopia, including MTC, charge a single market rate for the supply of each type of staff: $1,000\$ 1,000 per week for supplying a nurse and $2,000\$ 2,000 per week for supplying a doctor. In quarter 1, MTC held 30%30 \% of the market for the supply of temporary nurses and 40%40 \% for the supply of temporary doctors. Sictopia 的所有机构,包括 MTC,对每种类型员工的供应收取单一市场费率:每周供应护士的费用为 $1,000\$ 1,000 ,每周供应医生的费用为 $2,000\$ 2,000 。在第一季度,MTC 在临时护士供应市场占有 30%30 \% 的份额,在临时医生供应市场占有 40%40 \% 的份额。
MTC uses quarterly rolling budgets. At the end of quarter 1, it prepared its budgeted revenue figures for quarter 2. It based these budgeted figures on the assumption that the company would continue to maintain the market share it had in quarter 1. It also assumed that it would maintain its standard contribution margin of 80%80 \% for both nurses and doctors. MTC 使用季度滚动预算。在第一季度末,它准备了第二季度的预算收入数字。这些预算数字基于公司将继续保持第一季度市场份额的假设。它还假设它将保持其标准的贡献毛利率 80%80 \% ,无论是护士还是医生。
MTC’s actual figures for quarter 2 are as follows: MTC 第二季度的实际数据如下:

Cheat Co holds the same percentage of each market as MTC. It also uses rolling budgets and prepares its budgeted revenue figures using exactly the same assumptions as MTC. However, when Cheat Co’s sales director had to provide the market size figures for quarter 2 to the accounts department, they deliberately reported these figures 30%30 \% lower by excluding the market segment relating to maternity units. The accounts department were unaware of this. Cheat Co 与 MTC 在每个市场中持有相同的百分比。它也使用滚动预算,并使用与 MTC 完全相同的假设来准备其预算收入数字。然而,当 Cheat Co 的销售总监必须向会计部门提供第二季度的市场规模数据时,他们故意通过排除与产科病房相关的市场细分来将这些数据报告为 30%30 \% 更低。会计部门对此并不知情。
Required 要求
Discuss the actions of the sales director at Cheat Co and how this may have impacted on the variances which have been calculated. 讨论作弊公司销售总监的行为,以及这可能如何影响已计算的差异。
Clear Co is an eye treatment specialist, founded in 20X4, which runs five clinics nationwide. It is based in Zeeland, a country in which 20%20 \% of the population is over 65 years old, compared to only 15%15 \% ten years ago. Clear Co 是一家眼科治疗专家,成立于 20X4 年,在全国范围内运营五家诊所。它位于 Zeeland,该国 20%20 \% 的人口年龄超过 65 岁,而十年前只有 15%15 \% 。
Clear Co offers two eye treatment procedures: laser treatment and lens treatment. Laser treatment is the less complex of the two procedures. Technology changes rapidly in this industry and as a result 90%90 \% of patients now qualify for laser treatment, compared to only 80%80 \% five years ago. Clear Co 提供两种眼科治疗程序:激光治疗和镜片治疗。激光治疗是两者中较为简单的程序。该行业技术变化迅速,因此现在有 90%90 \% 的患者有资格接受激光治疗,而五年前只有 80%80 \% 。
The remaining 10%10 \% of patients are only able to have lens treatment, of which there are two types: ‘refractive lens exchange’ (RLE) and ‘implantable contact lenses’ (ICL). Clear Co started providing RLE, a treatment most effective for patients aged 40 or older, in 20X4 when it was founded. Two years ago, it also began providing ICL, a treatment recommended for patients under the age of 40. 剩余的 10%10 \% 患者只能接受镜片治疗,其中有两种类型:“屈光镜片交换”(RLE)和“可植入隐形眼镜”(ICL)。Clear Co 在 20X4 年成立时开始提供 RLE,这是一种对 40 岁或以上患者最有效的治疗方法。两年前,它还开始提供 ICL,这是一种推荐给 40 岁以下患者的治疗方法。
The market for eye treatment procedures in Zeeland is dominated by a few main suppliers, of which Clear Co is one. Until two years ago, Clear Co was the largest supplier but, following the merger of two other companies, it is now the second largest. The merged company, Eos Co, has recently released its financial statements for the year, showing profits which were 10%10 \% higher than forecast. Eos Co’s press release stated that it has achieved this despite offering reduced prices for 泽兰的眼科治疗市场由几家主要供应商主导,其中 Clear Co 是其中之一。直到两年前,Clear Co 还是最大的供应商,但在另外两家公司合并后,它现在是第二大供应商。合并后的公司 Eos Co 最近发布了其年度财务报表,显示利润比预测高出 10%10 \% 。Eos Co 的新闻稿称,尽管降低了价格,它仍实现了这一目标。
the ICL treatment. It has been able to offer reduced prices because of the economies of scale achieved by the merger. ICL 治疗的价格。由于合并带来的规模经济效应,它能够提供更低的价格。
The following information relates to the two types of lens treatments offered by Clear Co for the year just ended: 以下信息与 Clear Co 在刚刚结束的年度中提供的两种镜片治疗相关:
Truffle Co makes high quality, hand-made chocolate truffles which it sells to a local retailer. All chocolates are made in batches of 16 , to fit the standard boxes supplied by the retailer. The standard cost of labour for each batch is $6.00\$ 6.00 and the standard labour time for each batch is half an hour. In November, Truffle Co had budgeted production of 24,000 batches; actual production was only 20,500 batches. 12,000 labour hours were used to complete the work and there was no idle time. All workers were paid for their actual hours worked. The actual total labour cost for November was $136,800\$ 136,800. The production manager at Truffle Co has no input into the budgeting process. Truffle Co 生产高质量的手工巧克力松露,并将其销售给当地零售商。所有巧克力都是每批 16 个制作的,以适应零售商提供的标准盒子。每批的标准人工成本为 $6.00\$ 6.00 ,每批的标准人工时间为半小时。在 11 月,Truffle Co 的预算产量为 24,000 批;实际产量仅为 20,500 批。完成工作使用了 12,000 个工时,没有闲置时间。所有工人都按实际工作时间支付工资。11 月的实际总人工成本为 $136,800\$ 136,800 。Truffle Co 的生产经理对预算过程没有参与权。
At the end of October, the managing director decided to hold a meeting and offer staff the choice of either accepting a 5%5 \% pay cut or facing a certain number of redundancies. All staff subsequently agreed to accept the 5%5 \% pay cut with immediate effect. 在 10 月底,总经理决定召开一次会议,并让员工选择接受 5%5 \% 的减薪或面临一定数量的裁员。所有员工随后同意立即接受 5%5 \% 的减薪。
At the same time, the retailer requested that the truffles be made slightly softer. This change was implemented immediately and made the chocolates more difficult to shape. When recipe changes such as these are made, it takes time before the workers become used to working with the new ingredient mix, making the process 20%20 \% slower for at least the first month of the new operation. 与此同时,零售商要求松露巧克力稍微软一些。这一改动立即实施,使得巧克力更难成型。当进行此类配方调整时,工人需要一段时间才能适应新的配料混合,这使得在新操作的前至少一个月内,过程变得更慢。
The standard costing system is only updated once a year, in June, and no changes are ever made to the system outside of this. 标准成本系统每年仅在六月更新一次,除此之外,系统不会进行任何更改。
Block Co operates an absorption costing system and sells three types of product - Commodity 1, Commodity 2 and Commodity 3. Like other competitors operating in the same market, Block Co is struggling to maintain revenues and profits in face of the economic recession which has engulfed the country over the last two years. Sales prices fluctuate in the market in which Block Co operates. Consequently, at the beginning of each quarter, a market specialist, who works on a consultancy basis for Block Co, sets a budgeted sales price for each product for the quarter, based on their expectations of the market. This then becomes the ‘standard selling price’ for the quarter. The sales department itself is run by the company’s sales manager, who negotiates the actual sales prices with customers. The following budgeted figures are available for the quarter ended 31 May 20X3. Block Co 采用吸收成本法,并销售三种产品——商品 1、商品 2 和商品 3。与在同一市场运营的其他竞争对手一样,Block Co 在过去两年中一直努力在经济衰退的背景下维持收入和利润。Block Co 所在市场的销售价格波动较大。因此,在每季度初,一位为 Block Co 提供咨询服务的市场专家会根据他们对市场的预期为每种产品设定一个预算销售价格,这随后成为该季度的“标准销售价格”。销售部门由公司的销售经理负责,他与客户协商实际销售价格。以下是截至 20X3 年 5 月 31 日的季度的预算数据。

278 Newtown School (June 2013) 278 纽敦学校(2013 年 6 月)
Newtown School’s head teacher has prepared the budget for the year ending 31 May 20X4. The government pays the school $1,050\$ 1,050 for each child registered at the beginning of the school year, which is June 1, and $900\$ 900 for any child joining the school part-way through the year. The school does not have to refund the money to the government if a child leaves the school part-way through the year. The number of pupils registered at the school on 1 June 20X3 is 690, which is 10%10 \% lower than the previous year. Based on past experience, the probabilities for the number of pupils starting the school part-way through the year are as follows: 牛顿学校的校长已经为截至 20X4 年 5 月 31 日的年度编制了预算。政府为每个在学年开始时(即 6 月 1 日)注册的孩子支付 $1,050\$ 1,050 ,为任何在学年中途加入学校的孩子支付 $900\$ 900 。如果孩子中途离开学校,学校不需要向政府退款。20X3 年 6 月 1 日在学校注册的学生人数为 690 人,比上一年减少了 10%10 \% 。根据过去的经验,中途加入学校的学生的概率如下:

The head teacher admits to being ‘poor with numbers’ and does not understand probabilities so, when calculating budgeted revenue, they just calculate a simple average for the number of pupils expected to join late. Their budgeted revenue for the year ending 31 May 20X4 is therefore as follows: 校长承认自己“不擅长数字”,也不懂概率,因此在计算预算收入时,他们只是简单地计算了预计晚入学学生的平均数。因此,截至 20X4 年 5 月 31 日的年度预算收入如下:

Notes. 笔记。 1$30,0001 \$ 30,000 of the costs for the year ended 31 May 20X3 related to standard maintenance checks and repairs that have to be carried out by the school every year in order to comply with government health and safety standards. These are expected to increase by 3%3 \% in the coming year. In the year ended 31 May 20X3, $14,000\$ 14,000 was also spent on redecorating some of the classrooms. No redecorating is planned for the coming year. 1$30,0001 \$ 30,000 的成本与截至 20X3 年 5 月 31 日的年度相关的标准维护检查和维修费用,这些是学校每年必须进行的,以符合政府的健康和安全标准。预计这些费用将在来年增加 3%3 \% 。在截至 20X3 年 5 月 31 日的年度中, $14,000\$ 14,000 还用于重新装饰一些教室。来年没有计划进行重新装饰。
2 One teacher earning a salary of $26,000 left the school on 31 May 20X3 and there are no plans to replace them. However, a 2%2 \% pay rise will be given to all staff with effect from 1 December 20 xx320 \times 3. 2 一位年薪$26,000 的教师于 20X3 年 5 月 31 日离开学校,且没有替换计划。然而,所有员工将从 20 xx320 \times 3 年 12 月 1 日起获得 2%2 \% 的加薪。
3 The full $65,000\$ 65,000 actual costs for the year ended 31 May 20X3 related to improvements made to the school gym. This year, the canteen is going to be substantially improved, although the extent of the improvements and level of service to be offered to pupils is still under discussion. There is a 0.7 probability that the cost will be $145,000\$ 145,000 and a 0.3 probability that it will be $80,000\$ 80,000. These costs must be paid in full before the end of the year ending 31 May 20 xx420 \times 4. 截至 20X3 年 5 月 31 日的年度, $65,000\$ 65,000 的实际成本与学校体育馆的改善有关。今年,食堂将进行大幅改善,尽管改善的程度和向学生提供的服务水平仍在讨论中。有 0.7 的概率成本为 $145,000\$ 145,000 ,0.3 的概率成本为 $80,000\$ 80,000 。这些成本必须在 20 xx420 \times 4 年 5 月 31 日之前全额支付。
The school’s board of governors, who review the budget, are concerned that the budget surplus has been calculated incorrectly. They believe that it should have been calculated using expected income, based on the probabilities provided, and using expected expenditure, based on the information provided in Notes 1 to 3. They believe that incremental budgeting is not proving a reliable tool for budget setting in the school since, for the last three years, there have been shortfalls of cash despite a budget surplus being predicted. Since the school has no other source of funding available to it, these shortfalls have had serious consequences, such as the closure of the school kitchen for a considerable period in the last school year, meaning that no hot meals were available to pupils. This is thought to have been the cause of the 10%10 \% fall in the number of pupils registered at the school on 1 June 20 xx320 \times 3. 学校董事会负责审查预算,他们担心预算盈余的计算有误。他们认为应该根据提供的概率使用预期收入,并根据注释 1 至 3 中提供的信息使用预期支出来计算。他们认为增量预算在学校预算设定中并不可靠,因为在过去三年中,尽管预测有预算盈余,但现金仍然短缺。由于学校没有其他资金来源,这些短缺已经造成了严重后果,例如在上一个学年中,学校厨房关闭了相当长的一段时间,导致学生无法获得热餐。这被认为是 10%10 \% 年 6 月 1 日学校注册学生人数下降 20 xx320 \times 3 的原因。
Vegan Co is based in Zeeland and manufactures a wide range of non-meat and non-dairy products, which it supplies to retailers. Its mission is: Vegan Co 总部位于泽兰,生产各种非肉类和非乳制品,供应给零售商。其使命是:
‘To produce high quality, cruelty-free products sourced from local ingredients.’ ‘生产高质量、无残忍的产品,原料来自本地。’
Vegan Co uses a just-in-time system and holds no inventories. Its best-selling product is soya milk and for the month of November, production levels were as follows: Vegan Co 采用准时生产系统,不持有库存。其最畅销的产品是豆奶,11 月份的生产水平如下:

Vegan Co used 94,000kg94,000 \mathrm{~kg} of soybeans and 5,280kg5,280 \mathrm{~kg} of sugar in its actual production of soya milk in November. The actual cost to Vegan Co of soybeans in November was $5.70\$ 5.70 per kg and the Vegan Co 在 11 月份的实际生产中使用 94,000kg94,000 \mathrm{~kg} 大豆和 5,280kg5,280 \mathrm{~kg} 糖来生产豆奶。11 月份大豆的实际成本为每公斤 $5.70\$ 5.70 ,
actual cost of sugar was $1.90\$ 1.90 per kg . The market price in Zeeland for soybeans decreased by 10%10 \% in November, but for sugar it increased by 20%20 \%. This was due to an unusually cooler winter, which had a positive effect on soybean crops but a negative one on sugar crops. The purchasing manager is responsible for negotiating prices with suppliers. 糖的实际成本为每公斤 $1.90\$ 1.90 。在 Zeeland,大豆的市场价格在 11 月份下降了 10%10 \% ,而糖的价格则上涨了 20%20 \% 。这是由于异常寒冷的冬季,这对大豆作物有积极影响,但对糖作物有负面影响。采购经理负责与供应商谈判价格。
Vegan Co made a change to the standard mix at the beginning of November, reducing sugar to 10 grams per unit in order to comply with new government legislation. To try to maintain the consistency of the milk, Vegan Co also decreased the soybeans content from 200 grams per unit to 190 grams per unit at the same time. The production manager is responsible for the product mix at Vegan Co. Vegan Co 在 11 月初对标准配方进行了调整,将糖的含量减少到每单位 10 克,以符合新的政府法规。为了尽量保持牛奶的稠度,Vegan Co 同时将大豆的含量从每单位 200 克减少到 190 克。生产经理负责 Vegan Co 的产品配方。
None of the above changes to prices and quantities were reflected in the standard cost card for November, which is prepared by the accounts department and updated twice a year, despite both the purchasing and production managers stating that this is not frequent enough. 以上价格和数量的变化均未反映在 11 月份的标准成本卡中,该成本卡由财务部门编制,每年更新两次,尽管采购和生产经理都表示这不够频繁。

280 Valet Co (June 2014) 280 代客公司(2014 年 6 月)
Valet Co is a car valeting (cleaning) company. It operates in the country of Strappia, which has been badly affected by the global financial crisis. Petrol and food prices have increased substantially in the last year and the average disposable household income has decreased by 30%30 \%. Recent studies have shown that the average car owner keeps their car for five years before replacing it, rather than three years as was previously the case. Figures over recent years also show that car sales in Strappia are declining, while business for car repairs is on the increase. Valet Co 是一家汽车清洗公司。它在受全球金融危机严重影响的 Strappia 国家运营。过去一年中,汽油和食品价格大幅上涨,家庭平均可支配收入下降了 30%30 \% 。最近的研究表明,车主平均将汽车保留五年才更换,而以前是三年。近年来的数据还显示,Strappia 的汽车销量在下降,而汽车维修业务却在增加。
Valet Co offers two types of valet - a full valet and a mini valet. A full valet is an extensive clean of the vehicle, inside and out; a mini valet is a more basic clean of the vehicle. Until recently, four similar businesses operated in Valet Co’s local area, but one of these closed down three months ago after a serious fire on its premises. Valet Co charges customers $50\$ 50 for each full valet and $30\$ 30 for each mini valet and this price never changes. Their budget and actual figures for the last year were as follows: Valet Co 提供两种类型的代客服务——全车代客和迷你代客。全车代客是对车辆内外进行彻底清洁;迷你代客是对车辆进行更基本的清洁。直到最近,Valet Co 所在地区有四家类似的商家在运营,但其中一家在三个月前因严重火灾而关闭。Valet Co 对每位顾客的全车代客收费 $50\$ 50 ,迷你代客收费 $30\$ 30 ,且价格从未改变。他们去年的预算和实际数据如下:
The budgeted contribution to sales ratios for the two types of valet are 44.6%44.6 \% for full valets and 55%55 \% for mini valets. 两种类型洗车的预算贡献销售比率分别为 44.6%44.6 \% (全洗)和 55%55 \% (迷你洗)。
Glove Co makes high quality, hand-made gloves which it sells for an average of $180\$ 180 per pair. The standard cost of labour for each pair is $42\$ 42 and the standard labour time for each pair is three hours. In the last quarter, Glove Co had budgeted production of 12,000 pairs, although actual production was 12,600 pairs in order to meet demand. 37,000 hours were used to complete the work and there was no idle time. The total labour cost for the quarter was $531,930\$ 531,930. Glove Co 生产高品质的手工手套,每双平均售价为 $180\$ 180 。每双手套的标准人工成本为 $42\$ 42 ,每双手套的标准工时为三小时。在上个季度,Glove Co 的预算产量为 12,000 双,但实际产量为 12,600 双以满足需求。完成工作共使用了 37,000 小时,且没有闲置时间。该季度的总人工成本为 $531,930\$ 531,930 。
At the beginning of the last quarter, the design of the gloves was changed slightly. The new design required workers to sew the company’s logo onto the back of every glove made and the estimated time to do this was 15 minutes for each pair. However, no-one told the accountant responsible for updating standard costs that the standard time per pair of gloves needed to be changed. Similarly, although all workers were given a 2%2 \% pay rise at the beginning of the last quarter, the accountant was not told about this either. Consequently, the standard was not updated to reflect these changes. 在上个季度初,手套的设计略有改变。新设计要求工人在每双手套的背面缝上公司的标志,估计每双手套需要 15 分钟来完成这一步骤。然而,没有人告诉负责更新标准成本的会计师,每双手套的标准时间需要进行调整。同样,尽管所有工人在上个季度初都获得了 2%2 \% 的加薪,但会计师也没有被告知这一情况。因此,标准成本并未更新以反映这些变化。
When overtime is required, workers are paid 25%25 \% more than their usual hourly rate. 当需要加班时,工人的工资比他们通常的小时工资高出 25%25 \% 。
282 SU Co (Mar/Jun 2017) 282 SU 公司 (2017 年 3 月/6 月)
The School Uniform Company (SU Co) manufactures school uniforms. One of its largest contracts is with the Girls’ Private School Trust (GPST), which has 35 schools across the country, all with the same school uniform. 学校制服公司(SU Co)生产学校制服。其最大的合同之一是与全国拥有 35 所学校的私立女子学校信托基金(GPST)签订的,所有学校都使用相同的校服。
After a recent review of the uniform at the GPST schools, the school’s spring/summer dress has been re-designed to incorporate a dropped waistband. Each new dress now requires 2.2 metres of material, which is 10%10 \% more material than the previous style of dress required. However, a new material has also been chosen by the GPST which costs only $2.85\$ 2.85 per metre which is 5%5 \% cheaper than the material used on the previous dresses. In February, the total amount of material used and purchased at this price was 54,560 metres. 在最近对 GPST 学校校服的审查后,学校的春夏连衣裙被重新设计,加入了低腰设计。每件新连衣裙现在需要 2.2 米布料,这比之前的款式多用了 10%10 \% 米布料。然而,GPST 还选择了一种新布料,每米仅需 $2.85\$ 2.85 元,比之前使用的布料便宜 5%5 \% 元。二月份,以这个价格购买和使用的布料总量为 54,560 米。
The design of the new dresses has meant that a complicated new sewing technique needed to be used. Consequently, all staff required training before they could begin production. The manager of the sewing department expected each of the new dresses to take ten minutes to make as compared to eight minutes per dress for the old style. SU Co has 24 staff, each of whom works 160 hours per month and is paid a wage of $12\$ 12 per hour. All staff worked all of their contracted hours in February on production of the GPST dresses and there was no idle time. No labour rate variance arose in February. 新连衣裙的设计意味着需要使用一种复杂的新缝纫技术。因此,所有员工在开始生产之前都需要接受培训。缝纫部门经理预计每件新连衣裙的制作时间为十分钟,而旧款式的每件制作时间为八分钟。SU 公司有 24 名员工,每人每月工作 160 小时,每小时工资为 $12\$ 12 。所有员工在二月份都按合同工作时间生产 GPST 连衣裙,没有闲置时间。二月份没有产生人工费率差异。
Activity levels for February were as follows: 二月份的活动水平如下:
Budgeted production and sales (units) 30,000 预算生产和销售(单位)30,000
Actual production and sales (units) 24,000 实际生产和销售(单位)24,000
The production manager at SU Co is responsible for all purchasing and production issues which occur. SU Co uses standard costing and usually, every time a design change takes place, the standard cost card is updated prior to production commencing. However, the company accountant responsible for updating the standards has been off sick for the last two months. Consequently, the standard cost card for the new dress has not yet been updated. SU 公司的生产经理负责处理所有采购和生产问题。SU 公司使用标准成本法,通常每次设计变更时,标准成本卡会在生产开始前更新。然而,负责更新标准的公司会计师在过去两个月里因病请假。因此,新裙子的标准成本卡尚未更新。

Jamair is one of a growing number of low-cost airlines in the country of Shania. Jamair 是 Shania 国家日益增多的低成本航空公司之一。
Jamair’s strategy is to operate as a low-cost, high-efficiency airline. Jamair 的战略是作为一家低成本、高效率的航空公司运营。
The airline was given an ‘on time arrival’ ranking of seventh best by the country’s aviation authority, which ranks all 50 of the country’s airlines based on the number of flights which arrive on time at their destinations. 该航空公司在该国航空管理局的“准时到达”排名中位列第七,该排名基于所有 50 家航空公司航班准时到达目的地的数量。
The average ‘ground turnaround time’ for airlines in Shania is 50 minutes, meaning that, on average, planes are on the ground for cleaning, refuelling, etc for 50 minutes before departing again. Shania 国家航空公司的平均“地面周转时间”为 50 分钟,这意味着飞机在起飞前平均需要在地面进行清洁、加油等操作 50 分钟。
The number of passengers carried by the airline has grown from 300,000 passengers on a total of 3,428 flights in 2007 to 920,000 passengers on 7,650 flights in 2013. 该航空公司承运的乘客数量从 2007 年的 3428 次航班上的 30 万名乘客增长到 2013 年的 7650 次航班上的 92 万名乘客。
The overall growth of the airline has been helped by the limited route licensing policy of the Shanian government, which has given Jamair almost monopoly status on some of its routes. However, the government is now set to change this policy with almost immediate effect, and it has become more important than ever to monitor performance effectively. 航空公司的整体增长得益于沙尼亚政府的有限航线许可政策,该政策使 Jamair 在其部分航线上几乎拥有垄断地位。然而,政府现在即将立即改变这一政策,因此比以往任何时候都更有效地监控绩效变得尤为重要。

The following scenario relates to the next five questions. 以下情景适用于接下来的五个问题。
Squarize is a large company which started as a pay-TV broadcaster and then started offering broadband and telephone services to its pay-TV customers. Customers could take advantage of discounts for ‘bundle’ packages of all three services. Squarize 是一家大公司,最初是一家付费电视广播公司,后来开始为其付费电视客户提供宽带和电话服务。客户可以享受“捆绑”所有三项服务的折扣套餐。
All contracts to customers of Squarize are for a minimum three-month period. The pay-TV box is sold to the customer at the beginning of the contract; however, the broadband and telephone equipment is only rented to them. 所有与 Squarize 签订的客户合同最短期限为三个月。付费电视机顶盒在合同开始时出售给客户;然而,宽带和电话设备只是租借给他们。
In the first few years after product bundling was introduced, the company saw a steady increase in profits. Then, Squarize saw its revenues and operating profits fall. Several reasons were identified for the deterioration of results: 在引入产品捆绑的最初几年,公司利润稳步增长。随后,Squarize 的收入和营业利润开始下降。业绩恶化的原因有以下几个:
(1) In a bid to save cash, many pay-TV customers were cancelling their contracts after the minimum three-month period as they were then able to keep the pay-TV box. The box comes with a number of free channels, which the customer can continue to receive free of charge, even after the cancellation of their contract. (1)为了节省现金,许多付费电视客户在最短三个月合同期后取消了合同,因为他们可以保留付费电视机顶盒。该机顶盒附带一些免费频道,客户即使取消合同后仍可免费接收这些频道。
(2) Some bundle customers found that the broadband service that they had subscribed to did not work. As a result, they were immediately cancelling their contracts for all services within the 14 -day cancellation period permitted under the contracts. (2) 一些捆绑客户发现他们订阅的宽带服务无法使用。因此,他们在合同允许的 14 天取消期内立即取消了所有服务的合同。
In a response to the above problems and in an attempt to increase revenues and profits, Squarize made the following changes to the business: 针对上述问题,并为了增加收入和利润,Squarize 对业务做出了以下调整:
(1) It made a strategic decision to withdraw the bundle package from the market and, instead, offer each service as a standalone product. (1) 它做出了战略决策,将捆绑套餐从市场上撤下,转而将每项服务作为独立产品提供。
(2) It investigated and resolved the problem with customers’ broadband service. (2) 它调查并解决了客户宽带服务的问题。
It is now one year since the changes were made and the finance director wants to use a balanced scorecard to assess the extent to which the changes have been successful in improving the performance of the business. 自变更实施以来已过去一年,财务总监希望使用平衡计分卡来评估这些变更在提高企业绩效方面的成功程度。

The following scenario relates to the next five questions. 以下情景与接下来的五个问题相关。
An investment centre with capital employed of $600,000\$ 600,000 is budgeted to earn a profit of $100,000\$ 100,000 next year. A proposed fixed asset investment of $150,000\$ 150,000, not included in the budget at present, will earn a profit next year of $23,000\$ 23,000 after depreciation. The company’s cost of capital is 13%13 \%. 一个投资中心,资本使用额为 $600,000\$ 600,000 ,预计明年将获得 $100,000\$ 100,000 的利润。目前未包含在预算中的一项固定资产投资 $150,000\$ 150,000 ,将在明年折旧后获得 $23,000\$ 23,000 的利润。公司的资本成本为 13%13 \% 。
349 What is the budgeted return on investment (ROI) for next year, both before and after the investment is made (to the nearest %)? 349 明年的预算投资回报率(ROI)是多少,包括投资前后的情况(四舍五入到最近的百分比)?
350 What is the residual income (RI) for next year, both before and after the investment is made? 350 明年的剩余收益(RI)是多少,包括投资前后的情况? $◻\$ \square

351 Due to its size, Willow Co operates a divisionalised structure. One of the manager’s area of responsibility is ‘decisions over costs, revenues, and assets’. The typical financial performance measures used by this manager is return on investment and residual income. 351 由于其规模,Willow Co 采用了部门化结构。其中一位经理的职责范围是“成本、收入和资产的决策”。该经理通常使用的财务绩效指标是投资回报率和剩余收益。
Which of the following centres best describes the manager’s responsibility area? 以下哪个中心最能描述该经理的职责范围?
O Profit centre 利润中心
O Responsibility centre 责任中心
O Cost centre 成本中心
O Investment centre 投资中心
352 Two of the divisional managers in Willow Co disagree on the performance measure which should be used to determine their bonus for the year. Manager 1 is the manager of a large division, while manager 2 is manager of a small division. Manager 1 prefers to use residual income and has given the following examples of limitations of ROI to support this decision. 352 Willow 公司的两位部门经理在确定他们年度奖金的绩效指标上存在分歧。经理 1 是一个大部门的经理,而经理 2 是一个小部门的经理。经理 1 倾向于使用剩余收益,并给出了以下 ROI 的局限性例子来支持这一决定。
Which of the following is a valid reason for Willow Co choosing to use RI and not ROI? 以下哪一项是 Willow Co 选择使用 RI 而非 ROI 的有效理由?
O ROI requires an estimate of the cost of capital, a figure which can be difficult to calculate. ROI 需要估计资本成本,这个数字可能难以计算。
O ROI can over-emphasise short-term performance at the expense of long-term performance. ROI 可能过度强调短期表现,而牺牲长期表现。
O If assets are valued at carrying value, ROI figures generally improve as assets get older. This can encourage managers to retain outdated plant and machinery. 如果资产按账面价值计价,ROI 通常会随着资产老化而提高。这可能会鼓励经理保留过时的工厂和机器。
O ROI is a relative measure, therefore small investments with a high rate of return may appear preferable to a larger investment with lower ROI. However, the larger investment may be worth more in absolute terms. ROI 是一个相对指标,因此具有高回报率的小额投资可能看起来比具有较低 ROI 的较大投资更可取。然而,较大投资在绝对价值上可能更值得。

Manager 2 wishes to use ROI as a performance measure. 经理 2 希望使用投资回报率(ROI)作为绩效衡量标准。
Which of the following reasons is a valid reason for Willow Co choosing to use ROI and not RI? 以下哪个理由是 Willow 公司选择使用 ROI 而不是剩余收益(RI)的有效理由?
O Identifying controllable (traceable) profits and investment can be difficult 识别可控(可追溯)利润和投资可能很困难
O Rl attempts to measure divisional performance in a single figure RI 试图用一个单一数字来衡量部门绩效
O ROI ties in with NPV, theoretically the best way to make investment decisions ROI 与 NPV 相关,理论上这是做出投资决策的最佳方式
O Manager 1 will show a higher RI because of the size of the division rather than superior managerial performance 经理 1 将显示出更高的 RI,这是因为部门的规模而不是卓越的管理绩效
Tread Co manufactures sports shoes and clothing. It is a relatively small company and has a good reputation for producing high quality products. In recent months, however, there have been an increasing number of customer complaints about quality problems with Tread Co’s sports shoes. Tread Co 生产运动鞋和运动服装。它是一家相对较小的公司,以生产高质量产品而享有良好声誉。然而,最近几个月,关于 Tread Co 运动鞋质量问题的客户投诉越来越多。
Tread Co is profitable, but its finance director, who joined the company last year, believes there are inefficiencies in its operations and consequently it isn’t as profitable as it could be. Tread Co 是盈利的,但其财务总监(去年加入公司)认为其运营中存在效率低下的问题,因此它的盈利能力并未达到应有的水平。
The finance director believes that Tread Co’s budgeting system is partly to blame for this. The company currently uses an incremental approach to budgeting, but the finance director believes activity-based budgeting would be more appropriate. They are analysing the production process for sports shoes to support their suggestion, and has asked for your help in connection with this. 财务总监认为,Tread Co 的预算系统部分导致了这一问题。公司目前使用增量预算方法,但财务总监认为基于活动的预算方法更为合适。他们正在分析运动鞋的生产流程以支持他们的建议,并已请求你在这方面提供帮助。
Tread Co produces two different styles of sports shoe, the Deluxe and the Standard, and it has contracts to supply these to several large retail chains. Much of the production process is automated, and production occurs in batches. Similarly goods are shipped to customers in batches. Demand is relatively constant throughout the year. Tread Co 生产两种不同风格的运动鞋,Deluxe 和 Standard,并与几家大型零售连锁店签订了供应合同。大部分生产过程是自动化的,生产以批次进行。同样,货物也是以批次运送给客户。全年需求相对稳定。

The production line for sports shoes has a capacity of 175 production machine hours per month after allowing for set-up time. 运动鞋的生产线在考虑设置时间后,每月有 175 个生产机器小时的产能。
In addition to the staff who work on the production line, Tread Co also employs two quality control inspectors and two shipping administrators. Each of these employees is contracted to work 150 hours per month, and their salaries are treated as overheads. 除了生产线上的员工,Tread 公司还雇佣了两名质量检查员和两名发货管理员。这些员工每月合同工作 150 小时,他们的工资被视为间接费用。
The quality control staff inspect a sample of sports shoes from each batch produced and the standard inspection time is 2.5 hours per batch produced. 质量检查员对每批生产的运动鞋进行抽样检查,标准检查时间为每批生产 2.5 小时。
The shipping administrators prepare the batches to be despatched to customers and arrange the paperwork for the shipments. In total, this takes 0.75 hours per batch shipped. 发货管理员准备要发送给客户的批次,并安排发货的文书工作。总共每批发货需要 0.75 小时。

Hammer is a large garden equipment supplier with retail stores throughout Toolland. Many of the products it sells are bought in from outside suppliers but some are currently manufactured by Hammer’s own manufacturing division ‘Nail’. Hammer 是一家大型园艺设备供应商,在 Toolland 各地设有零售店。它销售的许多产品是从外部供应商购买的,但有些产品目前由 Hammer 自己的制造部门‘Nail’生产。
The prices (a transfer price) that Nail charges to the retail stores are set by head office and have been the subject of some discussion. The current policy is for Nail to calculate the total variable cost of production and delivery and add 30%30 \% for profit. Nail argues that all costs should be taken into consideration, offering to reduce the mark-up on costs to 10%10 \% in this case. The retail stores are unhappy with the current pricing policy arguing that it results in prices that are often higher than comparable products available on the market. Nail 向零售店收取的价格(转移价格)由总部设定,并一直是讨论的主题。目前的政策是 Nail 计算生产和交付的总可变成本,并加上 30%30 \% 的利润。Nail 认为所有成本都应考虑在内,并提议在这种情况下将成本加成减少到 10%10 \% 。零售店对当前的定价政策不满,认为这导致价格往往高于市场上可比的同类产品。
Nail has provided the following information to enable a price comparison to be made of the two possible pricing policies for one of its products. Nail 提供了以下信息,以便对其产品的两种可能定价政策进行价格比较。
Garden shears 园艺剪刀
Steel: the shears have 0.4 kg of high quality steel in the final product. The manufacturing process loses 5%5 \% of all steel put in. Steel costs $4,000\$ 4,000 per tonne ( 1 tonne =1,000kg=1,000 \mathrm{~kg} ) 钢材:剪刀的最终产品中含有 0.4 公斤的高质量钢材。制造过程中会损失所有投入钢材的 5%5 \% 。钢材成本为每吨 $4,000\$ 4,000 (1 吨 =1,000kg=1,000 \mathrm{~kg} )。
Other materials: Other materials are bought in and have a list price of $3\$ 3 per kg although Hammer secures a 10%10 \% volume discount on all purchases. The shears require 0.1 kg of these materials. 其他材料:其他材料的采购价格为每公斤 $3\$ 3 ,尽管 Hammer 对所有采购享有 10%10 \% 的批量折扣。每把剪刀需要 0.1 公斤的这些材料。
The labour time to produce shears is 0.25 hours per unit and labour costs $10\$ 10 per hour. 生产每把剪刀的工时是 0.25 小时,劳动力成本为每小时 $10\$ 10 。
Variable overheads are absorbed at the rate of 150%150 \% of labour rates and fixed overheads are 80%80 \% of the variable overheads. 可变间接费用按劳动力成本的 150%150 \% 吸收,固定间接费用为可变间接费用的 80%80 \% 。
Delivery is made by an outsourced distributor that charges Nail $0.5 per garden shear for delivery. 配送由外包的配送商完成,每把花园剪刀的配送费用为 0.5 美元。

The country of Jayland has two airlines, Flag Co, its national airline, and Budget Co, a recent entrant into the market. 杰兰国有两家航空公司,国家航空公司 Flag Co 和最近进入市场的 Budget Co。
Flag Co
Flag Co was government owned until ten years ago but is now operated as a private company. Its mission is ‘to be the airline of choice for long distance travellers’. It charges premium fares and operates routes from Jayland’s capital city to the major airports serving the largest cities around the world. Many of its flights have durations greater than 12 hours. The majority of its passengers are travelling on business and are prepared to pay high prices, however the demand for business travel is very sensitive to economic conditions. Its fleet of aircraft is regarded as ‘ageing’ by industry analysts. Flag Co 十年前还是政府所有,但现在作为一家私营公司运营。其使命是“成为长途旅行者的首选航空公司”。它收取高价机票,并运营从杰兰首都到世界各地主要机场的航线。许多航班的飞行时间超过 12 小时。大多数乘客是商务旅行者,他们愿意支付高额票价,但商务旅行的需求对经济状况非常敏感。其机队被行业分析师认为“老化”。
Budget Co
Budget Co was founded by a wealthy entrepreneur who invested their personal fortune in the company’s equity. Its mission is ‘to be the lowest fare airline on any route we serve’. It offers flights to destinations up to three hours travel from Jayland. Its fleet of aircraft are generally less than two years old. Most of its passengers are holiday-makers and the demand for its flights appears to be relatively insensitive to economic conditions. Budget Co 由一位富有的企业家创立,他将其个人财富投资于公司股权。其使命是“成为我们所服务航线上票价最低的航空公司”。它提供飞往距离 Jayland 三小时航程内的目的地的航班。其机队中的飞机通常不到两年。大多数乘客是度假者,对其航班的需求似乎对经济条件相对不敏感。
The following information is available for both companies. 以下信息适用于两家公司。

358 Best Night Co (Mar/Jun 2019) 358 最佳之夜公司(2019 年 3 月/6 月)
(36 mins) (36 分钟)
Best Night Co operates a chain of 30 hotels across the country of Essland. It prides itself on the comfort of the rooms in its hotels and the quality of service it offers to guests. 最佳之夜公司在埃斯兰德全国经营着 30 家酒店连锁。它以酒店客房的舒适性和为客人提供的高质量服务为荣。
The majority of Best Night Co’s hotels are located in major cities and have previously been successful in attracting business customers. In recent years, however, the number of business customers has started to decline as a result of tough economic conditions in Essland. 最佳之夜公司的大多数酒店都位于主要城市,过去一直成功吸引商务客户。然而,近年来,由于埃斯兰德严峻的经济形势,商务客户的数量开始下降。
Best Night Co’s policy is to set standard prices for the rooms in each of its hotels, with that price reflecting the hotel’s location and taking account of competitors’ prices. However, hotel managers have the authority to offer discounts to regular customers, and to reduce prices when occupancy rates in their hotel are expected to be low. The average standard price per night, across all the hotels, was $140 in 20X7, compared to $135 in 20X6. 最佳之夜公司的政策是为每家酒店的客房设定标准价格,该价格反映酒店的位置并考虑竞争对手的价格。然而,酒店经理有权为常客提供折扣,并在预计入住率较低时降低价格。20X7 年所有酒店的平均标准价格为每晚 140 美元,而 20X6 年为 135 美元。
In addition to room bookings, the hotels also generate revenue from the additional services available to customers, such as restaurants and bars. 除了客房预订外,酒店还通过向客户提供的额外服务(如餐厅和酒吧)产生收入。

Notes. 注释
1 Capital employed is calculated using the depreciated cost of non-current assets at all Best Night Co’s hotels. 资本投入是使用 Best Night Co 所有酒店的非流动资产折旧成本计算的。
2 Occupancy rates for the year ended 30 June 20X7 were budgeted to be 72%72 \%. 截至 20X7 年 6 月 30 日的年度,入住率预算为 72%72 \% 。
3 Customer satisfaction scores are graded on a scale of 1-51-5 where ’ 5 ’ represents ‘Excellent’. On average, in any given town in Essland, the top 10% of hotels earn a score of 4.5 or above and the top 25%25 \% of hotels earn a score of 4.2 or above. 客户满意度评分采用 1-51-5 的评分标准,其中“5”代表“优秀”。在 Essland 的任何城镇中,前 10%的酒店平均得分为 4.5 或以上,前 25%25 \% 的酒店平均得分为 4.2 或以上。
Two themes are becoming increasingly frequent in the comments Best Night Co’s customers make alongside the scores: 在 Best Night Co 的客户评分旁边的评论中,有两个主题越来越频繁地出现:
(1) Repeat customers have said that the standard of service in recent visits has not been as good as in previous visits. (1) 回头客表示,最近几次访问的服务水平不如以前的好。
(2) The rooms need redecorating, and the fixtures and fittings need replacing. For example, the beds need new mattresses to improve the level of comfort they provide. (2) 房间需要重新装修,设备和配件也需要更换。例如,床需要新的床垫以提高舒适度。
Best Night Co had planned a two-year refurbishment programme beginning in 20X7 of all the rooms in each hotel. However, this programme has been put on hold, due to the current economic conditions, and in order to reduce expenditure. Best Night Co 曾计划从 20X7 年开始对所有酒店的每个房间进行为期两年的翻新计划。然而,由于当前的经济状况,为了减少支出,该计划已被搁置。

359 Jump (June 2010) 359 跳跃(2010 年 6 月)
Jump has a network of sports clubs which are managed by local managers reporting to the main board. The local managers have a lot of autonomy and are able to vary employment contracts with staff and offer discounts for membership fees and personal training sessions. They also control their own maintenance budget, but do not have control over large amounts of capital expenditure. Jump 拥有一个由本地经理管理的体育俱乐部网络,这些经理向总部汇报。本地经理拥有很大的自主权,可以调整员工合同,并提供会员费和个人培训课程的折扣。他们还控制自己的维护预算,但对大额资本支出没有控制权。
A local manager’s performance and bonus is assessed relative to three targets. For every one of these three targets that is reached in an individual quarter, $400\$ 400 is added to the manager’s bonus, which is paid at the end of the year. The maximum bonus per year is therefore based on 12 targets (three targets in each of the four quarters of the year). Accordingly, the maximum bonus that could be earned is 12 xx$400=$4,80012 \times \$ 400=\$ 4,800, which represents 40%40 \% of the basic salary of a local manager. Jump has a 31 March year end. 本地经理的绩效和奖金是根据三个目标来评估的。在每一个季度中,每达成一个目标,经理的奖金就会增加 $400\$ 400 ,奖金在年底支付。因此,每年的最大奖金基于 12 个目标(每年四个季度中的三个目标)。相应地,可以获得的最高奖金为 12 xx$400=$4,80012 \times \$ 400=\$ 4,800 ,这代表了本地经理基本工资的 40%40 \% 。Jump 的财年截止日期为 3 月 31 日。
The performance data for one of the sports clubs for the last four quarters is as follows. 其中一个体育俱乐部过去四个季度的表现数据如下。

Bridgewater Co provides training courses for many of the mainstream software packages on the market. Bridgewater 公司为市场上许多主流软件包提供培训课程。
The business has many divisions within Waterland, the one country in which it operates. The senior managers of Bridgewater Co have very clear objectives for the divisions and these are communicated to divisional managers on appointment and subsequently in quarterly and annual reviews. These are: 该公司在运营的 Waterland 国家内有许多部门。Bridgewater 公司的高级经理们对各部门有非常明确的目标,这些目标在任命时以及在季度和年度审查中传达给部门经理。这些目标是:
Each quarter, sales should grow and annual sales should exceed budget 每季度销售额应增长,年度销售额应超过预算
Trainer (lecture staff) costs should not exceed $180\$ 180 per teaching day 培训师(讲师)费用不应超过每个教学日 $180\$ 180
Room hire costs should not exceed $90\$ 90 per teaching day 教室租赁费用不应超过每个教学日 $90\$ 90
Each division should meet its budget for profit per quarter and annually 每个部门应达到每季度和年度的利润预算
It is known that managers will be promoted based on their ability to meet these targets. A member of the senior management is to retire after Quarter 2 of the current financial year, which has just begun. The divisional managers anticipate that one of them may be promoted at the beginning of Quarter 3 if their performance is good enough. 众所周知,经理的晋升将基于他们实现这些目标的能力。一位高级管理人员将在当前财年的第二季度结束后退休,而当前财年刚刚开始。部门经理们预计,如果他们的表现足够好,其中一位可能在第三季度初获得晋升。
The manager of the Northwest division is concerned that their chances of promotion could be damaged by the expected performance of their division. They are a firm believer in quality and they think that if a business gets this right, growth and success will eventually follow. 西北部门的经理担心他们部门的预期表现可能会损害他们的晋升机会。他们坚信质量,认为如果企业在这方面做得好,增长和成功最终会随之而来。
The current quarterly forecasts, along with the original budgeted profit for the Northwest division, are as follows: 当前季度预测,以及西北部门最初的预算利润如下:
(a) Assess the financial performance of the Northwest division against its targets and reach a conclusion as to the promotion prospects of the divisional manager. (a) 评估西北分部的财务表现与其目标的对比,并就分部经理的晋升前景得出结论。
(8 marks) (8 分)
(b) The manager of the Northwest division has been considering a few steps to improve the performance of their division. 西北分部的经理一直在考虑采取一些措施来提高他们分部的业绩。
Voucher scheme 优惠券计划
As a sales promotion, vouchers will be sold for $125\$ 125 each, a substantial discount on normal prices. These vouchers will entitle the holder to attend four training sessions on software of their choice. They can attend when they want to but are advised that one training session per quarter is sensible. The manager is confident that, if the promotion took place immediately, they could sell 80 vouchers and that customers would follow the advice given to attend one session per quarter. All voucher holders would attend planned existing courses and all will be new customers. 作为销售促销活动,优惠券将以 $125\$ 125 的价格出售,这是对正常价格的大幅折扣。这些优惠券将使持有者能够参加四次他们选择的软件培训课程。他们可以随时参加,但建议每季度参加一次培训课程是明智的。经理确信,如果促销活动立即进行,他们可以卖出 80 张优惠券,并且客户会遵循建议每季度参加一次课程。所有优惠券持有者都将参加计划中的现有课程,并且所有客户都是新客户。
Software upgrade 软件升级
A new important software programme has recently been launched for which there could be a market for training courses. Demonstration programs can be bought for $1,800 in Quarter 1. Staff training would be needed, costing $500\$ 500 in each of Quarters 1 and 2 but in Quarters 3 and 4 extra courses could be offered selling this training. Assuming similar class sizes and the usual sales prices, extra sales revenue amounting to 20%20 \% of normal sales are expected (measured before the voucher promotion above). The manager is keen to run these courses at the same tutorial and room standards as they normally provide. Software expenditure is written off in the income statement as incurred. 最近推出了一款重要的新软件程序,可能会有培训课程的市场。演示程序可以在第一季度以 1,800 美元的价格购买。员工培训是必要的,在第一季度和第二季度分别需要花费 $500\$ 500 ,但在第三季度和第四季度可以额外提供这些培训课程。假设班级规模和通常的销售价格相似,预计额外销售收入将达到正常销售额的 20%20 \% (在上述优惠券促销之前衡量)。经理热衷于以他们通常提供的教程和教室标准来运行这些课程。软件支出在发生时计入损益表。
Delaying payments to trainers 延迟支付培训师费用
The manager is considering delaying payment to the trainers. They think that, since their commitment to quality could cause them to miss out on a well-deserved promotion, the trainers owe them a favour. They intend to delay payment on 50%50 \% of all invoices received from the trainers in the first two quarters, paying them one month later than is usual. 经理正在考虑延迟支付培训师费用。他们认为,由于他们对质量的承诺可能会使他们错过应得的晋升,培训师欠他们一个人情。他们打算在前两个季度收到的所有培训师发票中延迟支付 50%50 \% ,比通常晚一个月支付。

Trot Co is an owner-managed travel company operating in the country of Veeland, where the domestic currency is Veeland $(V$)\$(V \$). It offers a range of package holidays to customers and the holiday price it charges to customers includes flights, transfers to and from resorts and accommodation costs. Trot Co 是一家由业主管理的旅游公司,在维兰国运营,国内货币为维兰币。它为客户提供一系列套餐假期,向客户收取的假期价格包括航班、往返度假村的接送和住宿费用。
The market is extremely competitive. Until recently, the company only offered holidays to Europe. However, following a consistent 5% annual decline in the European holiday market over the last two years, Trot Co decided to extend its coverage to North America from the beginning of 20X7. Flights to North America from Veeland are longer than flights to Europe from Veeland. 市场竞争非常激烈。直到最近,该公司仅提供前往欧洲的假期。然而,由于过去两年欧洲假期市场每年持续下降 5%,Trot Co 决定从 20X7 年初开始将业务扩展到北美。从维兰到北美的航班比从维兰到欧洲的航班更长。
It is now the end of 20X7 and the following information is available: 现在是 20X7 年底,以下信息可用:
At the beginning of 20X7, following the company’s expansion into North America, Trot Co made an arrangement with a North American television station to place an advert every month. Each advert costs V$600\mathrm{V} \$ 600. At the same time, Trot Co reduced its level of advertising in Veeland. 在 20X7 年初,随着公司扩展到北美市场,Trot Co 与一家北美电视台达成协议,每月投放一次广告。每次广告的费用为维兰币。与此同时,Trot Co 减少了在维兰的广告投放量。
Six months ago, political unrest in Veeland caused the V$ to fall in value by an average of 25%25 \% against all other currencies. Trot Co pays for all flights, immediately when the customer makes a booking, in V$. 六个月前,维兰的政治动荡导致 V$对所有其他货币的平均价值下降了 25%25 \% 。Trot Co 在客户预订时立即以 V$支付所有航班费用。
During the year, it also began using a new booking agent for flights who promised more competitive prices. Customers usually book their holidays at least six months in advance of their departure and are required to pay for their holidays in full at the time of booking in V$. The costs of accommodation and transfers are always paid by Trot Co in the currency of the country being visited and these costs are paid once the customer’s holiday is complete. 在这一年中,它还开始使用一个新的预订代理来预订航班,该代理承诺提供更具竞争力的价格。客户通常在出发前至少六个月预订假期,并需要在预订时以 V$全额支付假期费用。住宿和接送费用始终由 Trot Co 以访问国家的货币支付,这些费用在客户假期结束后支付。
Midway through 20X7, one of Trot Co’s employees was awarded a V$22,000 compensation payment after a court decided that she was unfairly dismissed. All remaining staff were given a 10%10 \% pay rise with immediate effect in an attempt to reassure them. 在 20X7 年年中,Trot Co 的一名员工在法院裁定她被不公平解雇后获得了 V$22,000 的赔偿金。所有剩余员工立即获得了 10%10 \% 的加薪,以试图安抚他们。
Trot Co is financed partly by medium-term loans. One of the loans came to an end three months ago and the company therefore had to renegotiate a new loan. The new loan incurred a V$3,000\mathrm{V} \$ 3,000 finance fee and a higher interest rate than the old loan. The new loan also covered the purchase of a new V$2,000\mathrm{V} \$ 2,000 computerised billing system, which was expected to reduce administration costs by 50%50 \%. Trot Co 部分通过中期贷款融资。其中一笔贷款在三个月前到期,因此公司不得不重新协商一笔新贷款。新贷款产生了 V$3,000\mathrm{V} \$ 3,000 的财务费用,并且利率高于旧贷款。新贷款还用于购买新的 V$2,000\mathrm{V} \$ 2,000 计算机化账单系统,预计这将减少 50%50 \% 的管理成本。
The results of Trot Co for the last two years are as follows: Trot Co 过去两年的业绩如下:
The owner of Trot Co has looked at 20X7’s results and is extremely disappointed. Having seen that the business has made a loss, he feels like the whole expansion into North America was a bad idea. Trot Co 的老板查看了 20X7 年的业绩,感到非常失望。看到公司出现了亏损,他觉得整个进军北美市场的计划是个坏主意。
Required 必需
Discuss the performance of Trot Co for 20X7. 讨论 Trot Co 在 20X7 年的表现。
Note. There are 6 marks for calculations and 14 marks for discussion. 注意:计算部分占 6 分,讨论部分占 14 分。
Protect Against Fire Co (PAF Co) manufactures and sells fire safety equipment and also provides fire risk assessments and fire safety courses to businesses. It has been trading for many years in the country of Calana, where it is the market leader. Protect Against Fire Co(PAF Co)制造和销售消防安全设备,并为企业提供火灾风险评估和消防安全课程。该公司在卡拉纳国家经营多年,是该市场的领导者。
Five years ago, the directors of PAF Co established a similar operation in its neighbouring country, Sista, renting business premises at various locations across the country. The fire safety market in Sista has always been dominated by two other companies, and when PAF Co opened the Sista division, its plan was to become market leader there within five years. Both the Calana division (Division C) and the Sista division (Division S) usually restrict themselves to a marketing budget of $0.5\$ 0.5 million per annum but in 20X3, Division S launched a $2\$ 2 million advertising campaign in a final push to increase market share. It also left its prices for products and services unchanged in 20X3 rather than increasing them in line with its competitors. 五年前,PAF Co 的董事会在邻国 Sista 建立了类似业务,在全国各地租赁了商业场所。Sista 的消防安全市场一直由另外两家公司主导,当 PAF Co 开设 Sista 分部时,其计划是在五年内成为该市场的领导者。Calana 分部(Division C)和 Sista 分部(Division S)通常将每年的营销预算限制在 $0.5\$ 0.5 百万,但在 20X3 年,Division S 发起了一项 $2\$ 2 百万的广告活动,以最终推动市场份额的增长。此外,20X3 年其产品和服务价格保持不变,而不是像其竞争对手那样提高价格。
Although the populations of both countries are similar, geographically, the country of Sista is twice as large as Calana and its customers are evenly spread across the country. The products and services offered by the two divisions to their customers require skilled staff, demand for which is particularly high in Sista. Following the appointment of a new government in Sista at the end of 20X2, stricter fire safety regulations were immediately introduced for all companies. At the same time, the government introduced a substantial tax on business property rents which landlords passed on to their tenants. 尽管两国的人口相似,但从地理上看,西斯塔国家的面积是卡拉纳的两倍,其客户均匀分布在全国各地。两个部门向客户提供的产品和服务需要熟练的员工,而西斯塔对这类员工的需求特别高。在 20X2 年底西斯塔新政府上任后,立即对所有公司实施了更严格的消防安全法规。同时,政府对商业物业租金征收了大幅税收,房东将这部分税收转嫁给了租户。
International shortages of fuel have led to a 20%20 \% increase in fuel prices in both countries in the last year. 国际燃料短缺导致去年两国燃料价格 20%20 \% 上涨。
Summary statements of profit or loss for the two divisions for the two years ended 30 November 20 xx220 \times 2 and 30 November 20X3 are shown below. 截至 20 xx220 \times 2 年 11 月 30 日和 20X3 年 11 月 30 日的两个年度的两个部门的汇总损益表如下所示。

Clean Feet Co is a large supplier of environmentally-friendly products. The company is split into two divisions: the Household Goods division (Division HG) and the Personal Care division (Division PC). The two divisional managers are responsible for generating revenues and controlling costs. Both of them make all of their sales and purchases on credit, having negotiated 30-day credit terms with both customers and suppliers. Whilst the divisional managers can authorise capital expenditure up to $50,000\$ 50,000, any expenditure over this amount is controlled by Head Office. All of the Head Office running costs are shared equally between the two divisions and are included in their ‘indirect costs’ below. Clean Feet Co 是一家大型环保产品供应商。公司分为两个部门:家居用品部门(Division HG)和个人护理部门(Division PC)。两位部门经理负责创造收入和控制成本。他们所有的销售和采购都是通过信用进行的,并与客户和供应商协商了 30 天的信用期限。虽然部门经理可以授权资本支出高达 $50,000\$ 50,000 ,但超过此金额的任何支出都由总部控制。所有总部的运营成本由两个部门平均分摊,并计入其“间接成本”中。
The performance of each division is assessed by Head Office using return on investment (ROI) based on net assets. Each of the divisional managers is paid an annual salary of $180,000\$ 180,000 plus an annual bonus based on the ROI achieved by their division. Each division is expected to achieve a minimum ROI of 15%15 \% for which no bonus is payable, however, for every whole percentage point 每个部门的绩效由总部根据基于净资产的回报率(ROI)进行评估。每个部门的经理每年获得 $180,000\$ 180,000 的薪水,并根据其部门实现的 ROI 获得年度奖金。每个部门预期实现的最低 ROI 为 15%15 \% ,达到此目标时无奖金,然而,每超过一个百分点
above this that the divisions achieve, the managers accrue a bonus of 3%3 \% of the annual salary. The maximum bonus which can be earned is 10%10 \% of the annual salary. 经理将获得年度薪水的 3%3 \% 作为奖金。可获得的最高奖金为年度薪水的 10%10 \% 。
During the year ending 31 August 20X9, Head Office decided to invest $2m\$ 2 m in a new computer system in Division HG. This was against the advice of the divisional manager and caused a lot of disruption to customer orders. Due to these issues, Head Office decided that a similar planned installation would not take place at Division PC. 在截至 20X9 年 8 月 31 日的年度中,总部决定在 HG 分部投资 $2m\$ 2 m 用于新的计算机系统。这与分部经理的建议相悖,并导致客户订单的大量中断。由于这些问题,总部决定在 PC 分部不会进行类似的安装计划。

However, the group divisions and companies are allowed to negotiate their own transfer prices without interference from Head Office. (b) C 公司目前处于满负荷运转状态。Rotech 集团的政策是,集团公司和部门必须首先进行内部销售,然后再向集团外部销售。同样,采购也应尽可能从集团内部进行。然而,集团各部门和公司可以自行协商转移价格,总部不会干预。
C Co has always charged the same price to the Gearbox division as it does to its external customers.

367 Wyeland (Sep/Dec 2022) 怀兰(2022 年 9 月/12 月)
The government of Wyeland is trying to reduce spending on public services as part of its effort to reduce the country’s overall budget deficit. As a result, the government has announced plans to reduce the total budget for Wyeland’s police forces by 3% for the year ended 30 June 20X8. 怀兰政府正在努力减少公共服务支出,作为其减少国家整体预算赤字的一部分。因此,政府已宣布计划在截至 20X8 年 6 月 30 日的年度内将怀兰警察部队的总预算减少 3%。
The Chief Police Officer, the most senior police officer in Wyeland, has reacted angrily to this announcement. They have stated that funding cuts like this will inevitably lead to a reduction in the number of police officers and a reduction in the level of service which the police forces across the country can provide. 怀兰最高级别的警察官员——警察总长对这一宣布表示愤怒。他们表示,像这样的资金削减将不可避免地导致警察数量的减少以及全国警察部队所能提供的服务水平下降。
Police forces in Wyeland are organised on a regional basis, but the overall aim of all the police forces in the country is ‘to provide a value for money service to ensure the safety and security of communities across the country’. 怀兰的警察部队是按地区组织的,但全国所有警察部队的总体目标是“提供物有所值的服务,以确保全国社区的安全和保障”。
In support of this overall aim, all of the police forces also have the following three objectives: 为了支持这一总体目标,所有警察部队还有以下三个目标:
(1) To reduce rates of crime. (1) 降低犯罪率。
(2) To identify offenders (those who carry out crimes) and bring them to justice. (2) 识别罪犯(实施犯罪的人)并将其绳之以法。
(3) To provide the best possible protection and support for individuals and communities. (3) 为个人和社区提供最佳的保护和支持。
There is a national target that 50%50 \% of crimes should be solved within one year of being reported. 国家目标是 50%50 \% 的犯罪应在报案后一年内得到解决。
At the end of the year, the performance of all the police forces is reviewed, and this review process is currently underway. Selected performance data for three of the regions for the year ended 30 June 20X8 is as follows: 在年底,所有警察部队的表现都会进行审查,目前这一审查过程正在进行中。截至 20X8 年 6 月 30 日的年度,三个地区的选定表现数据如下:

369 Sports Co (Sep/Dec 2017) 体育公司(2017 年 9 月/12 月)
Sports Co is a large manufacturing company specialising in the manufacture of a wide range of sports clothing and equipment. The company has two divisions: Clothing (Division C) and Equipment (Division E). Each division operates with little intervention from Head Office and divisional managers have autonomy to make decisions about long-term investments. Sports Co 是一家大型制造公司,专门生产各种运动服装和器材。公司有两个部门:服装部(部门 C)和器材部(部门 E)。每个部门在总部很少干预的情况下运营,部门经理有权决定长期投资。
Sports Co measures the performance of its divisions using return on investment (ROI), calculated using controllable profit and average divisional net assets. The target ROI for each of the divisions is 18%18 \%. If the divisions meet or exceed this target the divisional managers receive a bonus. Sports Co 使用投资回报率(ROI)来衡量其部门的绩效,ROI 通过可控利润和部门平均净资产计算。每个部门的目标 ROI 为 18%18 \% 。如果部门达到或超过这一目标,部门经理将获得奖金。
Last year, an investment which was expected to meet the target ROI was rejected by one of the divisional managers because it would have reduced the division’s overall ROI. Consequently, Sports Co is considering the introduction of a new performance measure, residual income (RI), in order to discourage this dysfunctional behaviour in the future. Like ROI, this would be calculated using controllable profit and average divisional net assets. 去年,一项预计会达到目标 ROI 的投资被一位部门经理拒绝,因为它会降低部门的整体 ROI。因此,Sports Co 正在考虑引入一种新的绩效衡量指标——剩余收益(RI),以在未来阻止这种功能失调的行为。与 ROI 一样,RI 也将通过可控利润和部门平均净资产计算。

Notes. 注释
1 Included in the fixed costs are depreciation costs of $165,000\$ 165,000 and $460,000\$ 460,000 for Divisions CC and E respectively. 30%30 \% of the depreciation costs in each division relates to assets controlled but not owned by Head Office. Division E invested $2m in plant and machinery at the beginning of the year, which is included in the net assets figures above, and uses the reducing balance method to depreciate assets. Division C , which uses the straight-line method, made no significant additions to non-current assets. It is the policy of both divisions to charge a full year’s depreciation in the year of acquisition. 1 固定成本中包括 $165,000\$ 165,000 和 $460,000\$ 460,000 的折旧费用,分别对应 CC 部门和 E 部门。每个部门的折旧费用中有 30%30 \% 与总部控制但不拥有的资产相关。E 部门在年初投资了 200 万美元用于购置厂房和设备,这些已包含在上述净资产数字中,并使用余额递减法对资产进行折旧。C 部门采用直线法折旧,未对非流动资产进行重大投资。两个部门的政策都是在购置当年计提全年折旧。
2 Head Office recharges all of its costs to the two divisions. These have been included in the fixed costs and amount to $620,000\$ 620,000 for Division C and $700,000\$ 700,000 for Division E. 2 总部将其所有成本分摊到两个部门。这些成本已包含在固定成本中,C 部门为 $620,000\$ 620,000 ,E 部门为 $700,000\$ 700,000 。

The Portable Garage Co (PGC) is a company specialising in the manufacture and sale of a range of products for motorists. It is split into two divisions: the battery division (Division B) and the adaptor division (Division A). Division B sells one product - portable battery chargers for motorists which can be attached to a car’s own battery and used to start up the engine when the car’s own battery fails. Division A sells adaptors which are used by customers to charge mobile devices and laptops by attaching them to the car’s internal power source. 便携式车库公司(PGC)是一家专门生产和销售一系列汽车用品的公司。它分为两个部门:电池部门(B 部门)和适配器部门(A 部门)。B 部门销售一种产品——便携式汽车电池充电器,可以连接到汽车自身的电池上,当汽车电池失效时用于启动发动机。A 部门销售适配器,客户可以通过将适配器连接到汽车内部电源来为移动设备和笔记本电脑充电。
Recently, Division B has upgraded its portable battery so it can also be used to rapidly charge mobile devices and laptops. The mobile device or laptop must be attached to the battery using a special adaptor which is supplied to the customer with the battery. Division B currently buys the adaptors from Division A , which also sells them externally to other companies. 最近,B 部门升级了其便携式电池,使其也可以用于快速为移动设备和笔记本电脑充电。移动设备或笔记本电脑必须使用随电池提供给客户的特殊适配器连接到电池上。B 部门目前从 A 部门购买适配器,A 部门也向其他公司外部销售这些适配器。

any more than the current level of adaptors it supplies to it. The manager of Division B is unhappy. They have a special industry contact who they could buy the adaptors from at exactly the same price charged by Division A if they were given the autonomy to purchase from outside the group. After discussions with both of the divisional managers and to ensure that the managers are not demotivated, Head Office has now agreed to change the purchasing policy to allow Division B to buy externally, provided that it optimises the profits of the group as a whole. 任何超过当前供应水平的适配器。B 部门的经理对此感到不满。他们有一个特殊的行业联系人,如果获得自主权,可以从集团外部以与 A 部门相同的价格购买适配器。在与两位部门经理讨论后,为了确保经理们不会失去动力,总部现在同意改变采购政策,允许 B 部门从外部购买,前提是这能优化整个集团的利润。
Calculate and discuss what the minimum transfer price per unit would be for any additional adaptors supplied above the current level by Division A to Division B so that Division B can meet its maximum annual demand for the new portable batteries. 计算并讨论 A 部门向 B 部门提供超过当前水平的任何额外适配器的最低单位转移价格,以便 B 部门能够满足其新型便携式电池的最大年度需求。

In 20X5, Robinholt University won the ‘Green Environmental’ award for their campuses, which all have extensive recycling facilities. Students were also involved in a local ‘Grow to Give’ food sharing project that year, which provided thousands of pounds worth of fresh produce to food banks offering food to poorer residents. Due to staff shortages, the university was not involved in this project in 20X6. The recycling bins have also been abandoned because of the cost of using them. 20X5 年,Robinholt 大学因其校园内广泛的回收设施而获得了“绿色环保”奖。当年,学生们还参与了一个名为“种植与分享”的本地食物共享项目,该项目为食品银行提供了价值数千英镑的新鲜农产品,帮助了较贫困的居民。由于人员短缺,大学在 20X6 年没有参与该项目。回收箱也因使用成本过高而被废弃。
Every year, the University Research Council issues a range of prestigious awards for contributions to research. One of Robinholt University’s main competitors in the area won an award in 20X5 for their contribution to some pioneering research on genetics. Robinholt University has yet to win an award for research. However, in 20X5 it did win an ‘Innovation’ award for its new, innovative conference facilities which have attracted a number of new clients in the last year. 每年,大学研究委员会都会颁发一系列享有盛誉的研究贡献奖。20X5 年,Robinholt 大学在该地区的主要竞争对手因其在基因学领域的开创性研究而获奖。Robinholt 大学尚未获得研究类奖项。然而,20X5 年,它因其新颖、创新的会议设施而获得了“创新”奖,这些设施在过去一年中吸引了许多新客户。

Hammocks Co own and operate a small chain of four luxury vacation resorts. All four resorts are located on islands that enjoy a hot, sunny climate for nine months of the year. Each resort has gourmet restaurants, water sports and spa facilities, as well as sun terraces and pools. Hammocks Co 拥有并经营着四家豪华度假村的小型连锁店。所有四家度假村都位于一年中有九个月享受炎热、阳光明媚气候的岛屿上。每个度假村都设有美食餐厅、水上运动和 spa 设施,以及阳光露台和游泳池。
Hammocks Co’s management currently focus on two distinct stakeholder groups: shareholders and customers, and has two objectives: 吊床公司的管理层目前专注于两个不同的利益相关者群体:股东和客户,并有两个目标:
(1) To make a profit long term; and (1)实现长期盈利;以及
(2) To create customer loyalty. (2)建立客户忠诚度。
All operational (non-management) staff at the resorts receive comprehensive training and are employed in secure, long-term contracts, which is unusual in this industry. 度假村的所有运营(非管理)员工都接受了全面的培训,并签订了长期稳定的合同,这在这个行业中是不常见的。
Guests who visit the resorts pay one upfront fee and then enjoy unlimited food, drink and use of the resort facilities. When a guest arrives at a resort they are personally greeted by a concierge, offered a drink and cold towel while their luggage is transferred to their luxury room. All rooms are scrupulously clean and contain complimentary drinks, snacks, toiletries, bathrobes and slippers. The rooms are all equipped with appliances, which Hammock Co’s management believe that guests need during their stay, including satellite television, coffee-maker, refrigerator and hairdryer. If a guest requests something that is not available in the room, a call to the reception ensures that it arrives within ten minutes. 到访度假村的客人支付一次预付费用后,即可享受无限量的食物、饮品和度假村设施的使用。当客人到达度假村时,他们会受到礼宾人员的亲自迎接,并被提供饮品和冷毛巾,同时他们的行李会被转运到豪华客房。所有房间都一尘不染,并配有免费的饮品、零食、洗浴用品、浴袍和拖鞋。所有房间都配备了 Hammock Co 管理层认为客人在入住期间所需的电器,包括卫星电视、咖啡机、冰箱和吹风机。如果客人需要房间内没有的物品,只需致电前台,确保在十分钟内送达。

Extracts from TripEvent, an influential online customer forum: 摘录自 TripEvent,一个有影响力的在线客户论坛:
‘I love Hammocks Co; the service and attention to detail is exemplary and the resorts are always pristine. However, their competitor “Loungers” has full body dryers, ionised water taps and a range of professional haircare equipment in all their rooms.’ ‘我喜欢 Hammocks Co;他们的服务和细节处理堪称典范,度假村总是保持得一尘不染。然而,他们的竞争对手“Loungers”在所有房间都配备了全身烘干机、离子水龙头和一系列专业护发设备。’
‘Our third time back to Hammocks Co this year and we continue to be amazed by the wonderful level of service. One thing though is the menus don’t seem to have changed much from one visit to the next.’ ‘这是我们今年第三次回到 Hammocks Co,我们继续对这里的出色服务感到惊叹。不过有一点是,菜单似乎从一次访问到下一次没有太大变化。’
‘We booked Hammocks Co on the spur of the moment but then found that we couldn’t get a flight. We called Hammocks Co’s administrative centre to change our booking to another resort where we could get a flight to and were told that it would not be a problem. However, it took two more calls and three emails to get confirmation and then our credit card was charged twice in error. Of course it was eventually all resolved, the incorrect charge refunded, a complimentary limousine provided to and from the airport and we received the most amazing customer service at the resort, but it was frustrating at the time.’ ‘我们一时兴起预订了 Hammocks Co,但后来发现我们无法买到机票。我们打电话给 Hammocks Co 的行政中心,要求将我们的预订更改为另一个可以买到机票的度假村,并被告知不会有问题。然而,我们又打了两次电话,发了三封邮件才得到确认,然后我们的信用卡被错误地扣了两次款。当然,最终一切都解决了,错误的扣款被退还,我们还得到了往返机场的免费豪华轿车服务,在度假村也享受到了最令人惊叹的客户服务,但当时确实很令人沮丧。’
‘When I made my booking I was assured that my bed would be made with the special antiallergenic bedding which I need for a good night’s sleep and that my favourite blend of tea would be available.

Medcomp is a charity based in Ceeland. It provides medical treatment to prevent and cure blindness caused by cataracts, to thousands of people in less developed countries. This disease is relatively easy to cure when treatment is available, but the majority of people who need treatment cannot afford to pay for it. For over 10 years Medcomp has provided free treatment from 12 treatment centres based in fixed locations worldwide. Medcomp 是位于 Ceeland 的一家慈善机构。它为数千名在欠发达国家中因白内障导致失明的人提供预防和治疗服务。这种疾病在治疗可得的情况下相对容易治愈,但大多数需要治疗的人无法负担治疗费用。十多年来,Medcomp 通过全球 12 个固定地点的治疗中心提供免费治疗。
Medcomp employs a small number of paid permanent staff who consist of medical practitioners, medical administrators and fundraisers, but the majority of its workforce is voluntary. The charity has built relationships with several teaching hospitals in Ceeland, from where it recruits newly qualified doctors and nurses. These doctors and nurses volunteer to work unpaid for a year in Medcomp’s treatment centres before returning home to work in one of Ceeland’s many hospitals. Mecomp believes that using newly qualified medical staff will promote the use of the most effective and up-to-date techniques and procedures. Medcomp 雇佣了少量的带薪固定员工,包括医疗从业者、医疗管理人员和筹款人员,但其大部分员工是志愿者。该慈善机构与 Ceeland 的几家教学医院建立了关系,并从那里招募新毕业的医生和护士。这些医生和护士自愿在 Medcomp 的治疗中心无偿工作一年,然后回国在 Ceeland 的众多医院之一工作。Medcomp 认为,使用新毕业的医务人员将促进最有效和最新技术和程序的使用。
Financial donations are sourced from large businesses in Ceeland and most of the equipment and other medical supplies needed are donated by hospitals and manufacturers. Thus, it is rare for the treatment centres to run short of supplies. 财务捐赠来自 Ceeland 的大型企业,大部分所需的设备和其他医疗用品由医院和制造商捐赠。因此,治疗中心很少出现物资短缺的情况。
Medcomp keeps accounts with a year end of 31 August as well as detailed operating data. Data extracts from its management accounts for the current year (20X8) and from 20X7 and 20X6 are as follows: Medcomp 的会计年度截止日期为 8 月 31 日,并保留了详细的运营数据。以下是其管理账户中当前年度(20X8 年)以及 20X7 年和 20X6 年的数据摘录:
