Q

Basic difference between master and flexible budget is:

  • Flexible can be prepared at any production level in a relevant range, master is static
  • Flexible is only used after the budget period, master is before
A

-Flexible can be prepared at any production level in a relevant range, master is static

Q

Budget data:
COGS= $300k, AP 1/1= 20k
Inv- 1/1 - 30k, Inv-12/31- 42k
Purchases will be made in twelve equal monthly amounts and paid the following month. What are the budgeted cash pmts?

A
$306,000
PAID IN THE FOLLOWING MONTH:
Beg + Purch = Avail - End = COGS
30 + P = 342 (from->) - 42 = 300
P = 312 div by 12 mth = 26
But have 20 a month from old AP as Jan. So (20 x 1) + (26 x 11) = $306,000

Q

Correlation Analysis

A

Find best cost driver
Range between 1 and -1, pos = strong direct relationship ($/dates) (superior/normal good), then neg = strong inverse relationship (study/fun) (inferior good), Zero is no relationship

Q

Coefficient of Determination

A

Used for line of best fit after Correlation Analysis

Zero to 1, closer to 1 is line works better

Q

Service Dept Costs

A

ex) support center, not adding real revenues
1. Direct allocation- allocate all service dept costs directly to production depts
2. Step method- trickle down, service to service to production

Q

Probability analysis

A

Revenue ($) x Probability (%) = Weighted value ($)
Probability sections must total 100%
Sum of weighted values is your est value of the project

Q

When production levels increase with a flexible budget what would the effect be on these costs:

1) Fixed per unit, 2) Var per unit:
- down, down
- no change, no change
- no change, down
- down, no change

A

-down, no change
Production increases = more units to spread cost over so fixed per unit goes down since var/unit, variable per unit stays same cuz its fixed per unit

a) -9
b) -.93
c) +.93
d) +9

Q

Controllable revenue would be included in a performance center report for: (I, II, neither, both)
I. Cost center
II. Profit center

A

II. Profit center only

cost only deals with cost, profit is cost and revenue

Q

In ABCosting cost reduction is accomplished by identifying and eliminating: (I, II, neither, both)
I. All cost drivers
II. Non-value adding activities

A

II. Non-value adding activities
It increases cost drivers actually, by grouping activities instead of just using depts
It tries to remove non-value added activities to lower cost

Q

Gordon Growth Model

A

[Dividend yield (aka next divid / stk price)] + growth rate

18
Q

Average return: arithmetic (ST) and geometric (LT)

A

arithmetic- just averages

geometric- compounds, always lower rate

19
Q

Standard Deviation

A

Higher SD, higher risk (measures volatility)

Uses sigma, shown as %

20
Q

Coefficient of Variation

A

how much does it vary
-1 to 1
Positive= direct (but riskier), Neg= indirect (balanced portfolio) (negs are hedge-like)

21
Q

Risk: unsystematic, systematic

A

UNsystematic- avoidable

Systematic- unavoidable, market factors (inflation, int rate)

22
Q

CAPM

A

Risk free int rate + (expected mkt rate - risk free) x Beta

Beta= 2.0 is double risk, 1 is normal risk/reward

23
Q

Risks

A

Credit: risk that borrowers will default
Sector: ex) tech, risky, avoidable, diversify to avoid
Concentration of credit: only loaning to one sector, could hurt you in crash
Market risk: that market crashes
Int rate risk: value of bond down cuz of int rate increase in mkt

24
Q

Yield Curve

A

Interest rate changes:
normal (steady increase)
inverted (down, then up more LT)
Flat (similar across line)

25
``` A company is trying to hedge the risk of a current investment. What coefficient of variation should the hedge be? Pos .91 Neg .91 Neg .19 Post .19 ```
Neg .91 Cuz you want opposite to protect, indirect relationship Coefficients go -1 to 1
26
What measures volatility of an investment? - Expected return - Standard Deviation - Graphical Evaluation Technique - Coefficient of Variation
-Standard Deviation
27
Which is a risk taken by a lender that the value of the loan will decline as a result of a general economic decline? - Credit risk - Economy risk - Market risk - Concentration of credit risk
-Market risk
28
Which is not a theory that describes the reasons for differences in the yields associated with int rates? - Expectations - Mkt segmentation - Behavioral finance theory - Liquidity preference
-Behavioral finance theory NOT, for stocks All others have to do with yields and affect yield curves
29
Project Mgmt: 5 Processes
Proj: -Initiation- choice of goals/proj - Planning- tasks, when, who. Stmt of Work (what to do), Prgrm Eval & Review Technique (scheduling/time is realist, determines slack time) - Execution- continue, direct activities - Monitor & Control- check on, see how its going, make adjustments - Closure- all accomplished, finalize $/paperwork
30
Project Mgmt: 4 Basic Elements
Resources- personnel, material Time- how long Money- $ Scope- proj size/goals
31
Which of the following are involved in project management? (any combo) I. Proj reporting II. Proj planning III. Proj funding
II. Proj planning ONLY | Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitor/Control, Closure
32
A company determined that there is a total of 6 hours slack time on a proj. This means: - It will be completed in 6 hours less than expected - 6 hours of down time is included in budgeted hours - 6 hour difference between the time to be completed and the time it will avoid delay - The process can be shortened by 6 hours with maximum worker capacity
-6 hour difference between the time to be completed and the time it will avoid delay
33
Derivatives
Investment that derives its value from something else, to hedge against risk. Enter for speculation, hedge
34
Derivative: NUNS
- NO net investment - UNDERLYING (price) and NOTIONAL (hypothetical) amt - net SETTLEMENT amt
35
Types of Derivatives
Option: able but not req to take contract, buy/call (expect prices up) and sell/put (thinking price drop) Forward: agree to purch/sell in future, unregulated Future: forward thats regulated (standardized amts) Swap: Currency, int rate (fixed/var)
36
Which is not a characteristic of derivatives? - It can be settled in its net amount for cash or other liquid assets - It has an original maturity of 3 months or less - There is an underlying and notional amount - There is either no intitial payment or an insignificant amount in comparison with the cost of the investment
-It has an original maturity of 3 months or less | IT IS NOT!! All others true
37
Cash flow hedge that increased by $60k. The hedge is highly effective, 95% offsets future $ flows. How is the $60k increase reported? - 57k gain in Other comprehensive income, remainder in income - 57k gain in income, remainder in OCI
-57k gain in Other comprehensive income, remainder in income 60k x 95% = 57k Cash flow goes to Other comprehensive income, the remaining 3k goes to income stmt immediately
38
Company wants an int rate swap but thinks the other party won't perform. This is: - Performance risk - Legal risk - Market risk - Credit risk
-Credit risk Legal = law invalidated, so not option Performance= not for derivatives
39
Theory of constraints (bottleneck)
Capacity is less than demand (can't put stuff out fast enough)
40
Prevention is cheaper than....
Failure
41
Costs of Quality
Prevention- use good mat, inspection, quality focused Detection- before production is complete Internal Failure- after production, before shipping External Failure- consumer
42
Business Process Management
Design- look and improve Modeling- what ifs? before production Execution- start implementing, everything good to move forward Monitoring- see if everything is working well Optimization- remove bottlenecks, improve process and product
