EXAM/2021 OF
Marks – 13 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
QUESTION 1 – MULTIPLE CHOICE (13 MARKS)
LABOUR (2 MARKS)
DOLLYPOPS (“DollyPops”) manufactures lollipops and other hard sweets. A single factory worker at
DollyPops works 40 hours a week for 48 weeks in a year. Factory workers are paid R75 per work
hour and are entitled to 4 weeks of paid leave in a year. There are 52 weeks in a year.
The best estimate of the annual cost of direct labour for a single factory worker that should have been
allocated to work in progress for the year ended October 2021 is nearest to:
A) R132 000
B) R144 000
C) R156 000
D) R187 200 (2)
OVERHEADS (4 MARKS)
BLINDSIDE (PTY) LIMITED (“Blindside”) manufactures standard sets of bamboo blinds. The following
cost data was obtained for the financial year ended 31 December 2021:
The direct labour cost to produce one standard set of bamboo blinds is R130. The direct labourers are
paid R58.50 per clock hour. They clock eight hours a day but are only productive for 90% of the time.
The fixed overheads are recovered based on work hours per single standard set of bamboo blinds.
The financial manager has correctly calculated the fixed overhead recovery rate at R162 per work
hour.
The best estimate of the fixed overhead amount to be allocated to one standard set of bamboo blinds
is nearest to:
A) R145.80
B) R162.00
C) R324.00
D) R360.00 (2)
Mr Nelson is the financial manager of BRAAIBOYS (PTY) LIMITED (“BB”). BB is a manufacturing entity
and the following cost data was obtained for the month ended 30 November 2021:
The bank statement reflected an amount of R3 131 140 in relation to the fixed manufacturing overhead
for the month. The recovery rate was R10.44 per unit and BB manufactured 250 000 units during the
month of November 2021. Mr Nelson incorrectly recorded an over-recovery of manufacturing
overheads in the fixed manufacturing overhead account for the month of November 2021. All
under/over-recoveries of manufacturing overheads impact cost of sales and are recorded in the fixed
manufacturing overhead account.
To correct Mr Nelson’s error, the required entry in the fixed manufacturing overhead account is closest
to:
A) Debit: R521 140
B) Credit: R521 140
C) Debit: R1 042 280
D) Credit: R1 042 280 (2)
