Question 2 View Details
Case Stimulus
Viana Nig. Oil palm processing Plant is planning annual turnaround maintenance of the facility that will require facility shut down every three months. The plant management has decided to engage an expert maintenance outfit that will carry out the routine inspection and maintenance every three months. During the first year's operation, the costs of shut- down have been as follows: Quarter Shut-Down Cost I N720,000 2 N576,000 3 N540,000 4 N540,000 The management accountant attempts to forecast maintenance costs for the coming year and on examining the above data, it appears that these costs have been steadily decreasing. The plant engineers have suggested that this is probably due to the fact that the maintenance engineers are becoming more used to the procedures involved and also the fact that the plant itself is gradually settling down, after initial operational problems. If this is the case, an appropriate learning curve could explain the situation which has been observed.
Requirements
(a)
Explain the concept of learning curve.
(b)
Estimate the rate of learning which is inherent in the data. Explain the meaning of the value you have calculated.
(c)
Using the learning rate that you have determined, forecast the total cost of shut down for routine maintenance during the coming year.
(d)
Assume that learning ceases at the end of the second year, forecast the total cost of shut-down for routine maintenance during the third year.
(e)
State TWO specific reasons why this forecast may be wrong.

Question 4 View Details
Case Stimulus
Oforma Nigeria Limited has two operating divisions, Lagos division and Enugu division that are treated as profit centres for the purpose of performance reporting. Lagos division makes two products, Gat-R and Mat-R. Gat-R is sold to external customers for ₦620 per unit. Mat-R is a part-finished item that is sold only to Enugu division. Enugu division can obtain the part-finished item from either Lagos division or from an external supplier. The external supplier charges a price of ₦550 per unit. The production capacity of Lagos division is measured in total units of output of Gat-R and Mat-R. Each unit requires the same direct labour time. The costs of production in Lagos division are as follows: Gat- R ₦ Mat-R ₦ Variable cost 460 480 Fixed cost 190 190 Full cost 650 670.
Requirements
(a)
What is an optimal transfer price?
(b)
What would be the optimal transfer price for Mat-R if there is spare production capacity in Lagos division?
(c)
What would be the optimal transfer price for Mat-R if Lagos division is operating at full capacity due to a limited availability of direct labour, and there is unsatisfied external demand for Gat-R?
(d)
Discuss two methods that can be used to evaluate performance of divisions that operate as investment centres.
