THE INSTITUTE OF COST AND MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTANTS OF BANGLADESH CMA DECEMBER - 2012 EXAMINATION PROFESSIONAL LEVEL-I SUBJECT: 101. INTERMEDIATE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING. MODEL SOLUTION Solution to Question No. 1(C)(i) A provision should be made if (a) (b) (c) There is an obligation A transfer is probable There is a reliable estimate The legal costs of Tk. 10,000 should therefore be provided for since they will have to be paid whatever the outcome of the case. However the claim is not likely to succeed and so no provision should be made. A disclosure note should be made for the potential loss of Tk. 100,000. (ii) (iii) IAS 37 states that an obligation can be legal or constructive: In this case the policy of refunds has created a constructive obligation. A provision for Tk. 6,000 should be made. As the success of the claim for damages of Tk. 2,00,000 is probable, it constitutes a present obligation as a result of a past obligating event and would therefore be accounted for as a provision.

The success of the counter claim of Tk. 100,000 is also considered probable and would therefore need to be considered as a contingent asset (reimbursement). Only if it were virtually certain would the counter claim be recognized as an asset in the balance sheet. (d) Sales of Inventory : Adjusting event: (i) Closing inventory must be valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The post year end sale provides evidence of the net realizable value. Therefore closing inventory must be adjusted reflect the reduction in value. Share Issue: Non-adjusting event: Fire in warehouse: Non-adjusting event; but if this is the only and main warehouse and the fire affects going concern, the event will be reclassified as adjusting. Bankruptcy of major customer: Adjusting event: The bankruptcy of the customer provides evidence of their ability to pay the debt at the year end. The amount outstanding from the customer at June 30, 2011 should therefore be written off in the year and accounts (v) Acquisition of Shayon Ltd. Non-adjusting event.

The capitalisation of borrowing costs should cease when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete. And an asset is normally ready for its intended use or sale when its physical construction or production is complete even though routine administrative work might still continue.

Solution to Question No. 5(a) (1) FYR Ltd. should increase its allowance for doubtful debts to Tk.900,000 because the customer's bankruptcy is indicative of a financial condition that existed at the balance sheet date. This is an "adjusting event." (2) IAS 33, Earnings Per Share, requires a disclosure of transactions as "stock splits" or "rights issue," which are of significant importance at the balance sheet. This is a non-adjusting event, and only disclosure is needed. (3) This is an adjusting event because it relates to an asset that was recognized at the balance sheet date. However, as the insurance company's liability is zero, FYR Ltd. must adjust its receivable on the claim to zero.

Solution to Question No. 5(b) The qualitative characteristics are attributes that improve the usefulness of information provided in financial statements. The framework suggests that the financial statements should observe and maintain the following four qualitative characteristics as far as possible within limits of reasonable cost/ benefit. 1. Understandability: The financial statements should present information in a manner as to be readily understandable by the users with reasonable knowledge of business and economic activities. It is not right to think that more disclosures are always better. A mass of irrelevant information creates confusion and can be even more harmful than non-disclosure. No relevant information can be however withheld on the grounds of complexity. 2. Relevance: The financial statements should contain relevant information only. Information, which is likely to influence the economic decisions by the users, is said to be relevant. Such information may help the users to evaluate past, present or future events or may help in confirming or correcting past evaluations. The relevance of a piece of information should be judged by its materiality. A piece of information is said to be material if its omission or misstatement can influence economic decisions of a user. 3. Reliability: To be useful, the information must be reliable; that is to say, they must be free from material error and bias. The information provided are not likely to be reliable unless: (a) Transactions and events reported are faithfully represented. (b) Transactions and events are reported in terms of their substance and economic reality not merely on the basis of their legal form. This principle is called the principle of 'substance over form'. (c) The reporting of transactions and events are neutral, i.e. free from bias. (d) Prudence is exercised in reporting uncertain outcome of transactions or events. 4. Comparability: Comparison of financial statements is one of the most frequently used and most effective tools of financial analysis. The financial statements should permit both inter-firm and intrafirm comparison. One essential requirement of comparability is disclosure of financial effect of change in accounting policies. 5. True and Fair View: Financial statements are required to show a true and fair view of the performance, financial position and cash flows of an enterprise. The conceptual framework does not deal directly with this concept of true and fair view, yet the application of the principal qualitative characteristics and of appropriate accounting standards normally results in financial statements portraying true and fair view of information about an enterprise.

IFRS 5 requires that, immediately before the initial classification of the disposal group as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the disposal group be measured in accordance with applicable IFRS and any profit or loss dealt with under those IFRS. The reduction in the carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment will be dealt with in accordance with IAS 16; the inventory will be dealt with in accordance with IAS 2. After the remeasurement, the entity will recognize an impairment loss of Tk.90,00,000. This loss is allocate in accordance with IAS 36. Thus goodwill will be reduced to zero and property, plant, and equipment to Tk. 130,00,000. The loss will be charged against profit or loss. If not separately presented on the face of the income statement, the caption in the income statement that includes the loss should be disclosed.

Model Solution
Model Solution Question No. 1. (a) The critic is right in saying that cost allocation is arbitrary. However it may be difficult to avoid this problem by simply not allocating any common costs to other cost objects. This is because cost allocation may be required in one or more of the following cases: * * * (b) Apportioning fixed costs to products for inventory valuation purposes in conformity with IFRSs and External Reporting requirements. Costs may be apportioned to departments or responsibility centers for performance evaluation purposes. Cost plus contracts and cost-based regulations require allocations of common costs.

The two options available to T Company are: A. Sell 80,000 units to the outside market and 20,000 units to the chain store: This option would require T Company to manufacture 80,000 units and the cost of 20,000 units would be irrelevant being a sunk cost. Sell 80,000 units to the outside market and nothing to the chain store: This option would require T Company to manufacture 60,000 units and the cost of 20,000 would be irrelevant being a sunk cost. Tk. 280,000 Tk. 320,000 Tk. 40,000

B.

On the assumption that Option A is chosen, the relevant revenues and costs are: Additional Revenue from 20,000 units sold to the chain store: 20,000 x Tk. 14 = Additional cost to manufacture 20,000 units 20,000 x Tk. 16 =

Option B. i.e. 20,000 units should not be sold to the Chain store and the full 80,000 units should be sold to the outside market. Model Solution Question No. 2. Particulars X Y (i) Offer price Tk. 22 Tk. 28 Variable cost 15 18 Contribution margin Tk. 7 Tk. 10 Machine hours 6 10 CM per Machine hour Tk. 1.1666 Tk. 1 Therefore, Y should be bought from outside due to its lowest CM per machine hour. Total machine hours per table = (6+10+12) or 28 hours. * Current production: 28,000/28 = 1,000 tables Increased production (with 50% more) 1,500 tables Additional production (50%) 500 tables Machine hours required for X Machine hours required for Z Machine hours available for Y Machine hours required for Y Less: Machine hours available Outside purchase of Y 1,500 x 10 6 x 1,500 = 12 x 1,500 =

(ii)

Assuming X and Z are used at full capacity, the maximum possible production would be 28,000 / 18 = 1,555 As tables are made in batches of 20, the maximum possible production is 1,540 units. Machine hours required for X 6 x 1,540 = 9,240 Machine hours required for Z 12 x 1,540 = 18,480 27,720 Machine hours available for Y (28,000 27,720) 280 Equivalent units 28 units * The increased production requirement is 1,000 x 175% = 1,750 units The equivalent in batches of 20 1,740 units Required purchase of X and Z (1,740 1,540) 200 units Required purchase of Y (1,740 28) 1,712 units

Model Solution Question No. 3. (a) Sales budget is the detailed schedule showing the expected sales for the budget period expressed in terms of taka and units. On the other hand, in determining the sales budget the sale forecast is required. Budget is prepared on the basis of past sales information, pricing, policy, marketing plan, industry trends, inflation etc. A sales forecast is a technical projection of the potential customers demand for a specified time horizon and with specified underlying assumptions. A sales forecast is connected to a sales plan when management has brought to bear on its judgment, planned strategy, commitments of resources, and managerial commitment to aggressive actions to attain the sales goals. Typically, sales forecasts are prepared at the staff level by technically trained individuals employing numerous sophisticated analyses, such as trend fitting, correlation, mathematical models, exponential smoothing and other operation research techniques. Sales forecasting takes into consideration of the both financial and nonfinancial information. Based on the sales forecast, the budget for the sales are prepared. As such the sales budget is the quantified estimated sales as per the sales forecast. Accordingly, the more accurate the sales forecast, the more accurate is the sales budget. As we know, in the whole budgeting process, the first step is the sales budget, the more accurate the sales budget, the more accurate is the master budget.

(c) Importance of EPS Comments should include reference to use EPS as an input for both Price Earning and Earning Yield and which quoted regularly on the business pages in respect of listed companies. The dangers of comparing P/E ratios with other companies where alternative accounting approaches are permitted for the same transactions example IAS 23 alternative treatment for borrowing costs Differences in P.E ratio of similar type and scale of companies arising because one entity is listed and the other is private. The need for other ratios and other factors to be incorporated in any assessment for example the current cash squeeze the greater emphasis may be on liquidity and the need to meet day to day commitments Solution of Question No. 4. (a) A share option is an instrument giving the holder the right to buy or sell a set number of shares in the company by a set date at a set price. Options can be issued for a price or at no cost to the recipient. If issued for a price, an options ledger account is used. On expiry of the exercise date, this account balance is transferred to share capital (for the number of options exercised x the options price) and to lapsed options reserve (for the number of options lapsed x the options price). Where options are issued at a cost, then the amount received is disclosed in the balance sheet as an increase in equity and shown below the companys share capital. (b) On issuing the options Cash Share Options (Being the issue of 36,000 options at Tk.5 each) At the time of exercising options: Cash Tk. 450,000 Tk. 450,000 Tk. 180,000 Tk. 180,000

Facts: Kurashiki Ltd holds 1/3 of ordinary shares of Saga Ltd Sasebo Ltdholds 1/3 of ordinary shares of Saga Ltd Kanzawa Ltd holds 1/3 of ordinary shares of Saga Ltd Kurashiki Ltd owns call options that would give it 100% of the voting rights of Saga Ltd. Management do not intend to exercise the options The existence of the potential voting rights, as well as the other factors described in paragraph 13 of BAS 27 and paragraphs 6 and 7 of IAS 28, are considered and it is determined that Kurashiki Ltd controls Saga Ltd. The intention of Kurashiki Ltds management does not influence the assessment. However, there is some debate over whether this is the correct answer. Kurashiki Ltd has not at balance date exercise the options Kurashiki Ltd may never exercise the options It may not be in Kurashiki Ltds economic interest to exercise the options There may be no parent of Saga Ltd

The performance of the production director could be looked at considering each decision in turn. The new wood supplier: The wood was certainly cheaper than the standard saving Tk. 5,100 on the standard the concern though might be poor quality. The usage variance shows that the waste levels of wood are worse than standard. It is possible that the lower grade labour could have contributed to the waste level but since both decisions rest with the same person the performance consequences are the same. The overall effect of this is an adverse variance of Tk. 2,400, so taking the two variances together it looks like a poor decision. As the new labour is trained it could be that the wood usage improves and so we will have to wait to be sure. The impact that the new wood might have had on sales cannot be ignored. No one department within a business can be viewed in isolation to another. Sales are down and returns are up. This could easily be due to poor quality wood inputs. If SW operates at the high quality end of the market then sourcing cheaper wood is risky if the quality reduces as a result. The lower grade of labour used: Reebok uses traditional manual techniques and this would normally require skilled labour. The labour was certainly paid less, saving the company Tk. 43,600 in wages. However, with adverse efficiency and idle time of a total of Tk. 54,200 they actually cost the business money overall in the first month. The effi ciency variance tells us that it took longer to produce the bats than expected. The new labour was being trained in April 2012 and so it is possible that the situation will improve next month. The learning curve principle would probably apply here and so we could expect the average time per bat to be less in May 2010 than it was in April 2012.

Model solution of question no. 04. (a) If the analysis focuses on the gross margin the Country Wear appears most profitable under the conventional approach in terms of net profit and return on sale. However the promotion and distribution cost can be traced to each product and after taking these costs into account the Country Wear still appears most profitable, although the Evening Wear has a higher return on sales.

It could also require information on the volume of production and sales. (c) The life cycle cost will be more useful as it ensures that products cover all their costs over their (often short) life cycles. In order to undertake a complete profitability analysis for the two product lines, a complete list of revenues and costs for each year of the products life is required. It could also require information on the volume of production and sales. In addition, a more accurate analysis recognising time value of money can be performed by discounting three years estimated cash flows using the firms required rate of return.

SUBJECT: 302. ADVANCED COST ACCOUNTING Model solution of question no. 05(a).

Target costing process Target costing begins by specifying a product an organisation wishes to sell. This will involve extensive customer analysis, considering which features customers value and which they do not. Ideally only those features valued by customers will be included in the product design. The price at which the product can be sold at is then considered. This will take in to account the competitor products and the market conditions expected at the time that the product will be launched. Hence a heavy emphasis is placed on external analysis before any consideration is made of the internal cost of the product. From the above price a desired margin is deducted. This can be a gross or a net margin. This leaves the cost target. An organisation will need to meet this target if their desired margin is to be met. Costs for the product are then calculated and compared to the cost target mentioned above. If it appears that this cost cannot be achieved then the difference (shortfall) is called a cost gap. This gap would have to be closed, by some form of cost reduction, if the desired margin is to be achieved.
05(b) a Cost per check-in: Total cost No. of passengers processed Cost per check-in b International $42 000 3 500 $12 Domestic $99 000 11 000 $9

Although the domestic terminal has the higher cost level, it also has a higher throughput. Many of the costs are fixed, and they are also the most significant ones: managerial and staff salaries, depreciation on various types of equipment and allocated rent. As these fixed costs are spread over a larger number of passengers, their impact becomes less. Also, the check-in procedures for domestic passengers will be simpler than those for international passengers. They have no passports to check, they frequently have only cabin baggage (especially business passengers) and there are no complications of passengers who are disembarking at different locations along the way most domestic flights are direct and one-stop. Process costing is used (and is relatively accurate) when products or services are homogeneous. While mass service entities such as the one under consideration display some of the characteristics of homogeneity, it is almost certain that the check-in processes differ between passengers. The services described in (2) above, such as the number of locations and the amount of luggage, may vary from one passenger to the next. Anybody who has ever stood in an airport check-in queue has observed that some passengers have a highly-developed capacity for creating problems at check-in for a variety of reasons! The cost per check-in calculated above has limited value for Airport Services Ltd management. It cannot be used for setting fees or determining profitability, since there are no fees charged. The service cannot be promoted or withdrawn as it is an essential component of the entire service of passenger transport. It may have some use in controlling costs by comparing actual costs with budgeted costs, or similar costs from previous periods, or for benchmarking with other airports.

Answer to the Question No.2(b)


Requirement-(i). Differential return as per Jensen ratio is calculated as
p = R p E (R p ) The expected return of the portfolio E(R p ) can be calculated using the CAPM formula: E(R p ) = R f + p (R m R f ) Expected Return of Gold Fund: 5+0.72 (10 -5) = 5+3.60 = 8.60 per cent Expected Return of Platinum Fund: 5+1.33 (10-5) = 5+6.65 = 11.65 percent

Differential return Gold Fund : P = 7-8.60= - 1.60 percent Platinum Fund : P = 16-11.65 = 4.35 percent Requirement-(ii). We have the following information with respect to Platinum Fund (P) and others. R P = 16 percent R m = 10 percent R f = 5 percent P = 35 percent m = 24 percent = 1.33

Famas decomposition may be stated as R P = R f + R 1 +R 2 +R 3 R f = 5 percent R 1 = P (R m R f ) = 1.33 (10-5) = 6.65 percent R 2 = [( P / m ) P ] ( R m R f ) = [(35/24) -1.33] (10-5) = (1.46 -1.33) (5) = 0.65 R 3 = net selectivity = R P (R + R 1 + R 2 ) = 16 (5+6.65+0.65) = 16-12.3 = 3.70 percent Thus, R P = 5+6.65+0.65 + 3.70 = 16 percent Alternatively, Famas net selectivity can be directly calculated as follows: Famas net selectivity = R P [R f + ( P / m ) ( R m R f ) = 16 [5+(35/24) (10-5) = 16 (5+7.30) = 16 12.30 = 3.70 percent

Solution to Q. No. 5.
Requirement (a): If the companies merge: Recession Show growth Rapid growth Expected value Probability 0.15 0.65 0.20 Total value 105 135 195 142.5 Of which Equity 50 80 140 87.50 Debt 55 55 55 55.00 Without merger: PENDEN: Total value 42 55 75 57.05 Of which Equity 0 10 30 12.50 Debt 42 45 45 44.55 TULEN: Total value 63 80 120 85.45 Of which Equity 53 70 110 75.45 Debt 10 10 10 10.00 In the case of recession, the shares of Penden are expected to be worthless and the value of the company insufficient to repay all of the debt. The merger will eliminate the risk that full repayment to the debt holders will not made through what is known as the Coinsurance effect. In the absence of any operational synergy, that value of the companies remains uncharged but the wealth of the debt holders of Penden will increase Tk.0.45 million at the expense of the shareholders of the two companies. The merger might also result in a gain for shareholders and bond holders if the merged companys cash flow are perceived to be less risky. This might lead to small reduction in both the cost of equity and make it easier for the company to raise new external finance. Requirement (b): Features of growth by acquisition versus organic growth: The advantages of growth by acquisition or merger are: Much quicker method of increasing market share than growing originally If the two companies do not have perfectly correlated cash flows, combining them together will offer diversification opportunity and a reduction in the cost of capital. This should increase the value of the group and therefore increase shareholders wealth. Buying out or merging with ones competitors reduce the competition faced in the market, thereby strengthening ones price setting ability.

The disadvantages of growth by acquisition or merger are: Acquisition is usually more expensive for the purchasing company. Research continually shows that in contested acquisition it is the shareholders of the target company who gain the greatest share of the benefits arising. Many acquisitions and mergers are planned in anticipation of generating synergistic cost savings, but in practice these synergies often fail to appear. There may be cultural clashes following the acquisition or merger between the two sets of employees. If skilled employees become demotivated and leave, then much of the skill sets have been lost.

Solution
Solution to Question No.1
(a) The performance of a business unit manager should be assessed differently from the performance of a business unit, because there are revenues and costs that are attributable to a business unit but uncontrollable by a business unit manager. The performance measurement of a business unit manager is meaningful only if the manager has influence and control over the revenues and costs affecting his or her performance or else the managers would not be motivated to achieve the performance target. For example, the corporate advertising expenses and senior level personnel salaries may be decided at the corporate level and allocated to business units, but it might be considered unreasonable to hold business unit managers accountable for these expense. Three performance measures are used: throughput, inventory and operating expense. Throughput is defined as the rate at which a business generates money through sales. Inventory is defined as all the money that the business spends in buying things that it intends to sell. Operating expense covers all the money that the business spends in turning inventory into throughput. Advantages: These measures help managers to identify and eliminate constraints. Because of their clearly defined relationship with profitability, these measures can be used to guide decision-making and assess performance. The problem of linking operational measures to business profitability does not exist because the operational measures are financial. Disadvantages: Throughput accounting concentrates on the short term. Performance should not be guided and assessed solely by short-term considerations. To survive, a business must identify strategic objectives, which should form the basis for identifying key success factors and related performance measures.

In a post-completion audit of an investment project, the management accountant gathers information about the actual cash flows generated by the project and compares these with the cash flows projected in the capital budget proposal. Then the projects actual NPV or IRR is computed. Finally, the projections made for the project are compared with the actual results. If the project has not met expectations, an investigation may be made to consider the reasons. Was the estimated life too short? Were cash flows too optimistic? Were some important cash flows omitted? Not all businesses actually undertake post-completion audits of their capital expenditure decisions. One reason is that it is difficult to isolate the actual cash flows that relate to specific projects. Another reason is that there may be little incentive for management to review the quality of the initial analysis and subsequent implementation of the project. However, in situations where there are massive cost overruns or other negative outcomes then the audit can provide valuable learning for management.

Solution to Question No. 2. Canarias Group Ltd. Part (a): Full cost per unit in LZ Ltd. = Tk.27 + (Tk.100,000 / 12,500) = Tk.35 per unit. Transfer price = Tk.35 * 140% = Tk.49. Net revenue to TR Ltd. (before cost of transfer) = Tk.60 - Tk.15 = Tk.45. LZ would agree to the transfer: Tk.49 > Tk.27. The transfer would benefit Canarias Group Ltd.: Tk.60 > (Tk.27 + Tk.15). However, TR would not agree to the transfer: Tk.45 < Tk.49. The proposed transfer pricing rule can allow sub-optimisation, since the divisions are autonomous and are therefore free to reject transfers which would impact negatively on their reported profits. In this case, the transfer would benefit Canarias Group Ltd. However, the transfer will not take place because TR Ltd. will reject it. Marginal cost up to the point of transfer = Tk.27. Opportunity cost of making the point of transfer = Zero. Hence: Transfer price = Tk.27. TR would agree to the transfer: Tk.45 > Tk.27. As shown in part (a), the transfer would benefit Canarias Group Ltd.: Tk.60 > (Tk.27 + Tk.15). However, the problem is that LZ Ltd. would be indifferent to the transfer and therefore could not be relied upon to take part in it. The price offered would only equal the marginal cost.

Part (c): One possible solution is two-step transfer pricing: Step 1: For each unit transferred, the buying division pays a transfer price to the selling division equal to the standard marginal cost of production. Step 2: Each month, the buying division pays a lump sum to the selling division to cover As a constant fair share of the latters fixed costs (e.g., Tk.100,000 in the case of the transfer in part [a]) plus a profit element. This two-step transfer pricing system is likely to be goal congruent, since the buying division has an incentive to request transfers. The marginal cost of the transferred item to the buying division is the same as the marginal cost of the transferred item to Canarias Group Ltd. as a whole, so there is a significant likelihood of goal congruence. Also, the buying division will recognize that, to earn a profit, it must earn sufficient net revenues to cover all fixed costs (including fixed costs transferred to it from the selling division). The selling division is able to make a profit through its markup on the monthly fixed costs transfer. The proportion of the selling divisions capacity which is reserved for meeting the buying divisions needs must be fixed. Otherwise, it would be impossible to arrive at the applicable fixed costs figure for Step 2 above. A second possible solution is dual-rate transfer pricing: Description: The selling division is credited with the external selling price of the finished product; The buying division is charged with the standard cost of the transferred product;

The difference is eliminated on consolidation in preparing the company financial statements. Advantages: Ensures that the division managers take goal-congruent decisions about whether to make transfers. Provides proper information for performance evaluation purposes. Disadvantages: Company Profits < Combined Business Unit Profits division managers must be told that their reported division profit significantly overstates how much profit they are earning for the company as a whole. Business units can come to regard internal transfers as sheltered markets, instead of focusing on doing business in the real world. For performance evaluation purposes, one solution is to use a composite performance measure in which each Tk.1 of profits from external transactions is weighted more heavily than Tk.1 of profits from intra-company sales.

3 Tk. 1,014,430 98,389

4 Tk. 268,333 366,722

Discounted payback period = 2 + (916,041/1,014,430) = 2 + 0.9 = 2.9 years M The investment proposal has a positive net present value (NPV) of Tk. 366,722 and is therefore financially acceptable. The results of the other investment appraisal methods do not alter this financial acceptability, as the NPV decision rule will always offer the correct investment advice. The internal rate of return (IRR) method also recommends accepting the investment proposal, since the IRR of 18.2% is greater than the 10% return required by PV Co. If the advice offered by the IRR method differed from that offered by the NPV method, the advice offered by the NPV method would be preferred. The calculated return on capital employed of 25% is less than the target return of 30%, but as indicated earlier, the investment proposal is financially acceptable as it has a positive NPV. The reason why PV Co has a target return on capital employed of 30% should be investigated. This may be an out-of-date hurdle rate that has not been updated for changed economic circumstances. The discounted payback period of 2.9 years is a significant proportion of the forecast life of the investment proposal of four years, a time period which the information provided suggests is limited by technological change. The sensitivity of the investment proposal to changes in demand and life-cycle period should be

analysed, since an earlier onset of technological obsolescence may have a significant impact on its financial acceptability. (c) NPV is still a valid method for evaluating projects of strategic significance. However, attempts should be made, to include seemingly 'non-quantifiable' factors into the analysis, or greater weight should be placed on strategic aspects of the investment.
Solution of Q. No. 4. (a) The market for color laser printers is competitive. HPs strategy is to produce and sell high quality laser printers at a low cost. The key to achieving higher quality is reducing defects in its manufacturing operations. The key to managing costs is dealing with the high fixed costs of HPs automated manufacturing facility. To reduce costs per unit, HP would have to either produce more units or eliminate excess capacity. The scorecard correctly measures and evaluates HPs broad strategy of growth through productivity gains and cost leadership. There are some deficiencies, of course, that subsequent assignment questions will consider. It appears from the scorecard that HP was not successful in implementing its strategy in 2011. Although it achieved targeted performance in the learning and growth and internal business process perspectives, it significantly missed its targets in the customer and financial perspectives. HP has not had the success it targeted in the market and has not been able to reduce fixed costs. (b) HPs scorecard does not provide any explanation of why the target market share was not met in 2011. Was it due to poor quality? Higher prices? Poor post-sales service? Inadequate supply of products? Poor distribution? Aggressive competitors? The scorecard is not helpful for understanding the reasons underlying the poor market share. HP may want to include some measures in the customer perspective (and internal business process perspective) that get at these issues. These measures would then serve as leading indicators (based on cause-and-effect relationships) for lower market share. For example, HP should measure customer satisfaction with its printers on various dimensions of product features, quality, price, service, and availability. It should measure how well its printers match up against other color laser printers on the market. This is critical information for HP to successfully implement its strategy. (c) HP should include a measure of employee satisfaction to the learning and growth perspective and a measure of new product development to the internal business process perspective. The focus of its current scorecard measures is on processes and not on people and innovation. HP considers training and empowering workers as important for implementing its high-quality, lowcost strategy. Therefore employee training and employee satisfaction should appear in the learning and growth perspective of the scorecard. HP can then evaluate if improving employee-related measures results in improved internal-business process measures, market share and financial performance. Adding new product development measures to internal business processes is also important. As HP reduces defects, HPs costs will not automatically decrease because many of HPs costs are fixed. Instead, HP will have more capacity available to it. The key question is how HP will obtain value from this capacity. One important way is to use the capacity to produce and sell new models of its products. Of course if this strategy is to work, HP must develop new products at the same time that it is improving quality. Hence, the scorecard should contain some measure to monitor progress in new product development. Improving quality without developing and selling new products (or downsizing) will result in weak financial performance. (d) Improving quality and significantly downsizing to eliminate unused capacity is difficult. Recall that the key to improving quality at HP Corporation is training and empowering workers. As quality improvements occur, capacity will be freed up, but because costs are fixed, quality improvements will not automatically lead to lower costs. To reduce costs, HPs management must take actions such as selling equipment and laying off employees. But how can management lay off the very employees whose hard work and skills led to improved quality? If it did lay off employees now, will the

remaining employees ever work hard to improve quality in the future? For these reasons, HPs management should first focus on using the newly available capacity to sell more products. If it cannot do so and must downsize, management should try to downsize in a way that would not hurt employee morale, such as through retirements and voluntary severance.

Part (c): Division A extra project Likely to be accepted by the divisional manager. In both 2010 and 2011, this project has a return higher than the divisions existing projected ROI, and would thus increase average divisional ROI. To determine whether this decision would be in the shareholders interests, we would need to know the companys cost of capital. However, assuming that the companys existing ROI (11%) equals or exceeds the cost of capital, this investment seems to be in the shareholders interests. Likely to be rejected by the divisional manager, since in both 2010 and 2011 this project has a return less than the divisions existing projected ROI (and would thus reduce average divisional ROI). However, the effect of the depreciation will be to increase ROI further in future years, so if the divisional manager has a very decision making long time horizon then he may wish to accept the project. As with Division As project, to determine whether this decision would be in the shareholders interests, we would need to know the companys cost of capital. This has an ROI which is substantially below the divisions existing ROI in 2010 and substantially above it in 2011 (and subsequent years) because of the effect of the diminishing balance depreciation. Hence, the divisional managers decision is likely to depend on his time horizon e.g., if he plans to leave his existing job before the end of 2011 then he is unlikely to accept the project. As with Division A and Bs projects, to determine whether this decision would be in the shareholders interests, we would need to know the companys cost of capital.
