Question 1

THS produces two products from different combinations of the same resources. Details of the products are shown below:

Identify, using graphical linear programming, the optimal production plan for products E and R to maximize THS's profit in the month.

Options :

A : The solution (from the graph0 is to produce 675 units of E and 470 units of R.

B : The solution (from the graph0 is to produce 495 units of E and 670 units of R.

C : The solution (from the graph0 is to produce 475 units of E and 770 units of R.

D : The solution (from the graph0 is to produce 375 units of E and 750 units of R.

E : The solution (from the graph0 is to produce 375 units of E and 870 units of R.

F : The solution (from the graph0 is to produce 495 units of E and 470 units of R.

Answer: D

Question 2

A company is preparing its annual budget and is estimating the number of units of Product W that it will sell in each quarter of year 2. Past experience has shown that the trend for sales of the product is represented by the following relationship:

Calculate the expected unit sales of Product W for each quarter of year 2, after adjusting for seasonal variations using the multiplicative model.

Options :

A : The sales forecast for year 2 Quarter 4 = 35,100 units

B : The sales forecast for year 2 Quarter 4 = 25,100 units

C : The sales forecast for year 2 Quarter 4 = 22,600 units

D : The sales forecast for year 2 Quarter 4 = 38,100 units

Answer: A

Question 3

A company accountant is trying to determine the optimum production plan for the period using linear programming.
The accountant has correctly formulated the linear programming problem as follows:
Variables (products): x and y
Objective function: Maximise contribution, C = 10x + 15y
Material constraint: 4x + 6y 500 (kg)
Labour constraint: x + 2y 350 (hours)
Machine constraint: 10x + 4y 1,500 (hours)
x constraint: 50 x 200
y constraint: y 0
Which of the following statements is true?

Options :

A : The selling price of y is $15.

B : The maximum demand for product x is 50 units.

C : Product x requires twice as much labour time as Product y.

D : Product y requires 4 machine hours to manufacture.

Answer: D

Question 4

Some of the movements in a time series follow a pattern over time.
Which type of movement does NOT follow a pattern over time?

Options :

A : Trend

B : Cyclical variation

C : Random variation

D : Seasonal variation

Answer: C

Question 5

Which THREE of the following statements about different costing systems are correct?

Options :

A : Contribution per unit is the selling price per unit minus the variable costs per unit.

B : In a period during which finished goods inventory levels fall, profit using marginal costing will be higher than if absorption costing is used.

C : When valuing inventory using throughput costing, the direct labour cost is excluded.

D : Over-absorption of fixed production overhead is caused by actual sales exceeding budgeted sales.

E : Finished goods inventory will be assigned a higher value using throughput costing than absorption costing.
