B is most plausible because it makes a limited claim that values can replace rules: think of health and safety or financial controls, however, to disprove the claim. Ways in: You could rule out two of the statements because they are dogmatic (so that just one counter-example wouldmake them untrue).11. 单选题 Which of the following statements concerning administration is correct?A A liquidation order may be granted against the company if the company is in administrationB To commence administration always requires a court orderC The official receiver is put in charge of a company subject to an administration orderD If the company cannot be rescued as a going concern, the next objective of administration is toachieve a better result for creditors than an immediate liquidation would考点 Chapter21Insolvencyandadministration解析 If a company cannot be rescued as a going concern then the next objective of administration is toachieve a better result for creditors than an immediate liquidation.

Mr. Green makes salads. The standard plate of salad has 30 g of lettuce (L), 50 g of peppers(P) and 80 g of beetroot (B). The standard prices of the three ingredients are $0.2/kg,0.4/kg and 0.8/kg respectively. The actual prices were $0.22/kg, $0.38/kg and $0.82/kg. Mr. Green has been experimenting and so in July he changed the mix of vegetables on theplate thus: 1,500 plates contained 62,000 grams of lettuce, 81,000 grams of peppers and102,000 grams of beetroot. What is the cost difference between the actual mix and the standard mix to the nearestcent? 考点 Chapter11Varianceanalysis解析 16. 材料题 If there had been a normal process loss of 10% of input during the month what would the value of this loss have been?A NilB $450C $600D $1,050考点 考点:Chapter11Processcosting解析 There is no scrap value available for any losses therefore the normal loss would have a zero value.

Joanne is Dianes supervisor. Lesley is trying to decide how many staff will be needed if some proposed new technology is implemented.

Which of the statements shown follow from this?(i) High levels of car ownership cause high levels of road deaths(ii) There is a strong relationship between the level of car ownership and the number of road deaths(iii) 53% of the variation in the level of road deaths from one country to the next can be explained by the corresponding variation in the level of car ownership(iv) 73% of the variation in the level of road deaths from one country to the next can be explained by the corresponding variation in the level of car ownershipA (i) and (ii) onlyB (i) and (iii) onlyC (ii) and (iii) onlyD (ii) and (iv) only考点 Chapter14Forecasting解析 (i)High levels of correlation do not prove that there is cause and effect.(ii)A correlation coefficient of 0.73 would generally be regarded as indicating a strong linear relationship between the variables.(iii)The coefficient of determination provides this information and is given by squaring the correlation coefficient, resulting in 53% in this case.(iv)The coefficient of determination provides this information and not the correlation coefficient. Remember that you must square the correlation coefficient in order to obtain the coefficient of determination.Statements (ii) and (iii) are relevant and the correct answer is therefore C.19. 单选题 In the context of data security controls, are records showing who has accessed a computer system and what operations he or she has performed.Which word or phrase correctly completes this definition?A PasswordsB Audit trailsC Archives考点 Chapter9Control,securityandaudit解析 Rationale: Audit trails enable system administrators to maintain security, check transactions (in order to identify errors and fraud), recover lost transactions and monitor the use of network resources.

Required Explain the potential benefits of operating a transfer pricing system within a divisionalised company. 考点 Chapter17Divisionalperformanceandtransferpricing解析 Potential benefits of operating a transfer pricing system within a divisionalised company include thefollowing.(a) It can lead to goal congruence by motivating divisional managers to make decisions, whichimprove divisional profit and improve profit of the organisation as a whole.(b) It can prevent dysfunctional decision-making so that decisions taken by a divisional manager arein the best interests of their own part of the business, other divisions and the organisation as awhole.(c) Transfer prices can be set at a level that enables divisional performance to be measuredcommercially. A transfer pricing system should therefore report a level of divisional profit that is areasonable measure of the managerial performance of the division.(d) It should ensure that divisional autonomy is not undermined. A well-run transfer pricing systemhelps to ensure that a balance is kept between divisional autonomy to provide incentives andmotivation, and centralised authority to ensure that the divisions are all working towards the sametarget; the benefit of the organisation as a whole.21. 单选题 A fire on 30 September 20X2 destroyed some of a companys inventory and its inventory records.

Required Recalculate any variances necessary and produce an operating statement. 考点 Chapter11Varianceanalysis解析 (a) There is no fixed overhead volume variance.(b) The standard contribution per unit is $(20 6.60) = $13.40, therefore the sales volume variance of250 units (A) is valued at ( $13.40) = $3,350 (A).The other variances are unchanged, therefore an operating statement might appear as follows.Note. The profit here is the same as the profit calculated by standard absorption costing because therewere no changes in inventory levels. Absorption costing and marginal costing do not always produce anidentical profit figure.24. 论述题 An investment centre with capital employed of $570,000 is budgeted to earn a profit of $119,700 nextyear. A proposed fixed asset investment of $50,000, not included in the budget at present, will earn aprofit next year of $8,500 after depreciation. The companys cost of capital is 15%.
