Question 4 View Details
Case Stimulus
Large service organisations, such as banks and hospitals, used to be noted for their lack of management accounting techniques and their relatively unsophisticated budgeting and control systems compared with large manufacturing organisations. But this is changing and many large service organisations are now revising their use of management accounting techniques, especially as it relates to activity-based approach.
Requirements
(a)
Explain which features of large-scale service organisations encourage the application of activity-based approaches to the analysis of cost information.
(b)
Explain which features of service organisations may create problems for the application of activity-based costing.
(c)
Explain the uses for activity-based cost information in service industries.
(d)
Many large service organisations were at one time state-owned, but have been privatised. Examples in some countries include electricity supply and telecommunications. They are often regulated. Similar systems of regulation of prices by an independent authority exist in many countries, and are designed to act as a surrogate for market competition in industries where it is difficult to ensure a genuinely competitive market. Explain which aspects of cost information and systems in service organisations would particularly interest a regulator, and why these features would be of interest.

Eko Limited is a small manufacturing company producing two high quality products called ‘Kay’ and ‘Lay’. Both products use a raw material Tee (costing ₦30 per kg) in their manufacture. The Directors are reviewing the company’s stock management policies for the forthcoming year as part of the annual budget preparation cycle. Due to the product specification, quality is an important factor and a quality control inspection takes place immediately after the production cycle has ended. At this point, any inferior products are rejected and only good production becomes available for sale. In addition to these losses, a certain quantity of waste is unavoidable from material Tee due to the cutting process for both products. The following forecast information has been extracted from departmental estimates for the year ending 31st December 2020 (the budget period). Sales (quality approved units) Product Kay: 23,000 Product Lay: 10,000 Finished goods stock increase by year-end Product Kay: 275 Product Lay: 185 Post-production rejection rate (%): Product Kay: 2 Product Lay: 3 Material Tee usage (per completed unit, net of wastage): Product Kay: 2kg Product Lay: 3kg Material Tee wastage (%): Product Kay: 5 Product Lay: 10
