Valet Co is a car valeting (cleaning) company. It operates in the country of Strappia, which has been badly affected by the global financial crisis. Petrol and food prices have increased substantially in the last year and the average disposable household income has decreased by 30%. Recent studies have shown that the average car owner keeps their car for five years before replacing it, rather than three years as was previously the case. Figures over recent years also show that car sales in Strappia are declining whilst business for car repairs is on the increase.
Valet Co offers two types of valet – a full valet and a mini valet. A full valet is an extensive clean of the vehicle, inside and out; a mini valet is a more basic clean of the vehicle. Until recently, four similar businesses operated in Valet Co’s local area, but one of these closed down three months ago after a serious fire on its premises. Valet Co charges customers $50 for each full valet and $30 for each mini valet and this price never changes. Their budget and actual figures for the last year were as follows:
The budgeted contribution to sales ratios for the two types of valet are 44·6% for full valets and 55% for mini valets.
Required:
(a) Using the data provided for full valets and mini valets, calculate:
(i) The total sales mix contribution variance; (4 marks)
(ii) The total sales quantity contribution variance. (4 marks)
(b) Briefly describe the sales mix contribution variance and the sales quantity contribution variance. (2 marks)
(c) Discuss the SALES performance of the business for the period, taking into account your calculations from part (a) AND the information provided in the scenario. (10 marks)

The Rotech group comprises two companies, W Co and C Co.
W Co is a trading company with two divisions: The Design division, which designs wind turbines and supplies the designs to customers under licences and the Gearbox division, which manufactures gearboxes for the car industry.
C Co manufactures components for gearboxes. It sells the components globally and also supplies W Co with components for its Gearbox manufacturing division.
The financial results for the two companies for the year ended 31 May 2014 are as follows:
Required:
(a) Discuss the performance of C Co and each division of W Co, calculating and using the following three performance measures:
(i) Return on capital employed (ROCE)
(ii) Asset turnover
(iii) Operating profit margin
Note: There are 4·5 marks available for calculations and 5·5 marks available for discussion. (10 marks)
(b) C Co is currently working to full capacity. The Rotech group’s policy is that group companies and divisions must always make internal sales first before selling outside the group. Similarly, purchases must be made from within the group wherever possible. However, the group divisions and companies are allowed to negotiate their own transfer prices without interference from Head Office.
C Co has always charged the same price to the Gearbox division as it does to its external customers. However, after being offered a 5% lower price for similar components from an external supplier, the manager of the Gearbox division feels strongly that the transfer price is too high and should be reduced. C Co currently satisfies 60% of the external demand for its components. Its variable costs represent 40% of revenue.
Required: Advise, using suitable calculations, the total transfer price or prices at which the components should be supplied to the Gearbox division from C Co. (10 marks)

Budgeted production and sales volumes for X, Y and Z for the next year are 20,000 units, 16,000 units and 22,000 units respectively.
The budgeted direct costs of the three products are shown below:
In the next year, Duff Co also expects to incur indirect production costs of $1,377,400, which are analysed as follows:
Duff Co wants to boost sales revenue in order to increase profits but its capacity to do this is limited because of its use of cost plus pricing and the application of the standard mark-up. The finance director has suggested using activity based costing (ABC) instead of full absorption costing, since this will alter the cost of the products and may therefore enable a different price to be charged.
Required:
(a) Calculate the budgeted full production cost per unit of each product using Duff Co’s current method of absorption costing. All workings should be to two decimal places. (3 marks)
(b) Calculate the budgeted full production cost per unit of each product using activity based costing. All workings should be to two decimal places. (11 marks)
(c) Discuss the impact on the selling prices and the sales volumes OF EACH PRODUCT which a change to activity based costing would be expected to bring about. (6 marks)
