P2 Exam Dumps : Advanced Management Accounting

A company has a cost of capital of 12% and a maximum of $20 million to invest. It has identified three possible investment projects, none of which is divisible, as follows.

Which project(s) should the company invest in?

A company operates a divisional structure. The manager of division D receives a bonus based on the division's annual return on capital employed (ROCE).

A minimum ROCE of 20% must be achieved to receive any bonus and thereafter the bonus increases in line with increases in ROCE.

This year division D achieved a ROCE of 24% and the divisional manager received a large bonus.

The manager is considering an investment in a new machine for next year. The incremental ROCE earned by the machine is expected to be 19% although the ROCE for the division as a whole with the machine is expected to be 22%. Without the machine, ROCE is likely to be stable at 24%.

The cost of capital for the company as a whole is 18% per year.

The same test has a 95% probability of classifying a defective item correctly and a 5% probability of classifying a defective item as non-defective.
