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

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

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
Q
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
A

Neg .91
Cuz you want opposite to protect, indirect relationship
Coefficients go -1 to 1

26
Q

What measures volatility of an investment?

  • Expected return
  • Standard Deviation
  • Graphical Evaluation Technique
  • Coefficient of Variation
A

-Standard Deviation

27
Q

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
A

-Market risk

28
Q

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
A

-Behavioral finance theory
NOT, for stocks
All others have to do with yields and affect yield curves

29
Q

Project Mgmt: 5 Processes

A

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
Q

Project Mgmt: 4 Basic Elements

A

Resources- personnel, material
Time- how long
Money- $
Scope- proj size/goals

31
Q

Which of the following are involved in project management? (any combo)
I. Proj reporting
II. Proj planning
III. Proj funding

A

II. Proj planning ONLY

Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitor/Control, Closure

32
Q

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
A

-6 hour difference between the time to be completed and the time it will avoid delay

33
Q

Derivatives

A

Investment that derives its value from something else, to hedge against risk. Enter for speculation, hedge

34
Q

Derivative: NUNS

A
  • NO net investment
  • UNDERLYING (price) and NOTIONAL (hypothetical) amt
  • net SETTLEMENT amt
35
Q

Types of Derivatives

A

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
Q

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
A

-It has an original maturity of 3 months or less

IT IS NOT!! All others true

37
Q

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
A

-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
Q

Company wants an int rate swap but thinks the other party won’t perform. This is:

  • Performance risk
  • Legal risk
  • Market risk
  • Credit risk
A

-Credit risk
Legal = law invalidated, so not option
Performance= not for derivatives

39
Q

Theory of constraints (bottleneck)

A

Capacity is less than demand (can’t put stuff out fast enough)

40
Q

Prevention is cheaper than….

A

Failure

41
Q

Costs of Quality

A

Prevention- use good mat, inspection, quality focused
Detection- before production is complete
Internal Failure- after production, before shipping
External Failure- consumer

42
Q

Business Process Management

A

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
