Section B
5    Case Study

X Ltd has been offered a contract to manufacture six special machines for the Government. Manufacture would take a total of three years at the rate of two machines per year. Payment would be in two installments, Rs.3,50,000 at the start f manufacture and another Rs.3,50,000 upon completion.
 The company is now evaluating the contract to see if it is worthwhile undertaking and its management accounting department has produced the following estimates about the resources required to produce the special machines: 
(a)    Materials:
Type of material   Quantity per   Amount in        Original cost of.    Current purchase   Current realizable
  M/c   ton        stock now          stock per ton           price per ton           value per ton
                                               Rs.                            Rs.                          Rs.
Copper            20        60           700              1000                800
Radium           10         20              500                 750         See below
 
 Copper is used regularly by the company on many contracts. Radium is used rarely and if the existing stock is not applied to this contract it will have to be disposed immediately at a net cost of Rs.100 per ton. Materials required for the contract must be purchased and paid for annually in advance. Replacement cost of copper and radium and the realizable value of copper are expected to increase at an annual compound rate of 20%. 
(b) Labour:
Each of the six machines will require 3,000 hours of skilled electronic engineering and 5,000 hours of unskilled labour. Current wage rate are Rs.4 per hour for skilled electronic staff and Rs.3 per hour for unskilled labour. 
X Ltd expects to suffer a shortage of skilled staff during the firs year so that acceptance of the contract would make it necessary for the firm to give up ‘other work’ on which a contribution of Rs. 7 per hour would be earned (the other work would require no unskilled labour.)
In the contract’s first year only, the company expects to have 20,000 surplus unskilled labour hours. the company has an agreement with the in-house trade union whereby it lays off employees for whom there is work and pays them two-thirds of their normal wages during the lay-off period. All wage rates are expected to increase at an annual compound rate of 15%. 
(c) Overheads:
Overhead costs are currently allocated to contracts at a rate of Rs.14 per skilled labour hour calculated as follows:
Fixed overhead (including equipment depreciation of Rs.5)     11
Variable overhead                      3
Special equipment will be required to undertake this contract and will be purchases at Rs.2,00,000/-  payable immediately. It will be sold once the contract is completed for Rs.50,000/- both fixed and variable overheads are expected to increase in line with the Retail Price Index. 
The special equipment will be financed with the first contract installment paid by Government.
The company believes that a return of 20% would be acceptable for the project. The Retail Price Index is expected to increase by 15% per year over the life of the contract.  
All current prices will hold for the next 1 month, before increasing in line with inflation.
Therefore material cost for the second year’s production will be 20% higher than the current market prices.
Analyze and comment whether the project can be acceptable. Ignore Tax.
