Amachine is no longer used by a company. It could be sold now for net proceeds of$300. Its only other use is on a short-term contract which is underconsideration. The variable running costs of the machine during the period ofthe contract would be $400. On completion of the contract the machine would haveno realisable value and would cost $150 to dismantle and remove. (|'w$

官方解释:The correct answer was D. This question tested Sections F2(b)and (c) in the Study Guide, which require candidates to be able to calculaterelevant costs for overheads and those for non-current assets. c~5#)AXMT
By not selling the machine now there isan opportunity cost of $300, the variable running cost ($400) are relevant andat the end of the contract the dismantling and removal cost ($150) is alsorelevant. This gives a total relevant cost of $850. }(ay(
Answer B was chosen by more than 50% ofthe candidates. This wrong answer could have been obtained in two ways. First as$300 + $400 – $150, the mistake here is to treat the dismantling cost as revenuefrom the sale of the machine. Second as $400 + $150, the mistake here is toregard the realisable value now as being non-relevant. d%t]:41=Z
解释:这是一道考核固定资产相关成本的考题。如果现在卖出则获利$300。如果继续使用一段时间,则这段时间需要的投入的成本是$400,并且丢弃时需要用处置成本$150。那如果选择不卖出那需要花费是成本一共是$400+$150=$550,相对应所放弃的机会成本就是$300。所以这个固定资产的相关成本是$300+$550=$850 C:

官方解释:The correct answerwas D. This question tested Sections D3 (g) of the Study Guide, which requirescandidates to be able to explain, as well as calculate, the under and overabsorption of overheads. ~<v{CBq[
Answer Bwas the most popular of the wrong answers, which suggests that candidatesunderstood that situation (i) leads to over absorption and that it was situation(ii) that caused the problem. If actual hours worked are below budget then byapplying the predetermined absorption rate (which is based on budgeted hours) tothis lower number of actual hours will lead to under absorption. Pu/0<
