(ii) The ROI of Beetown is currently 13·96%. In order to obtain an ROI of 20%, operating profit would need to increase to
(20% x $3,160,000) = $632,000, based on the current level of net assets. Three alternative ways in which a target
ROI of 20% could be achieved for the Beetown centre are as follows:
(1) Attempts could be made to increase revenue by attracting more clients while keeping invested capital and operating
profit per $ of revenue constant. Revenue would have to increase to $2,361,644, assuming that the current level
of profitability is maintained and fixed costs remain unchanged. The current rate of contribution to revenue is
$2,100,000 – $567,000 = $1,533,000/$2,100,000 = 73%. Operating profit needs to increase by $191,000
in order to achieve an ROI of 20%. Therefore, revenue needs to increase by $191,000/0·73 = $261,644 =
12·46%.
(2) Attempts could be made to decrease the level of operating costs by, for example, increasing the efficiency of
maintenance operations. This would have the effect of increasing operating profit per $ of revenue. This would
require that revenue and invested capital were kept constant. Total operating costs would need to fall by $191,000
in order to obtain an ROI of 20%. This represents a percentage decrease of 191,000/1,659,000 = 11·5%. If fixed
costs were truly fixed, then variable costs would need to fall to a level of $376,000, which represents a decrease
of 33·7%.
(3) Attempts could be made to decrease the net asset base of HFG by, for example, reducing debtor balances and/or
increasing creditor balances, while keeping turnover and operating profit per $ of revenue constant. Net assets
would need to fall to a level of ($441,000/0·2) = $2,205,000, which represents a percentage decrease
amounting to $3,160,000 – $2,205,000 = 955,000/3,160,000 = 30·2%.

正确答案：
6 To get the best out of people, managers need to have effective communication skills. Professional accountants as managers need to understand the difference between aggressive and assertive behaviour. Often an exchange of communication can be interpreted as a belligerent response from an employee. However, a slight difference in approach can communicate different feelings and achieve a more positive result.
(a) Aggressive behaviour is competitive and directed at defeating someone else. It is standing up for oneself at the expense of other people. It is defending one’s rights but doing so in such a way that violates the rights of other people. Aggressive behaviour ignores or dismisses the needs, wants, opinions, feelings or beliefs of others.
Characteristics of aggressive behaviour include excessive ‘I’ statements, boastfulness, and the individual’s opinions expressed as fact, threatening questions or postures from the individual, sarcasm and other throw-away remarks and a constant blaming of others.
Aggressive behaviour can be self defeating. It may cause such antagonism in the others in the organisation that they will refuse to co-operate or work with the person showing aggressive behaviour.

正确答案：
(b) (i) The directors of GWCC might consider any of the following specific actions in order to improve the return on the
investment:
– Attempt to raise the selling price of the Mighty Ben cake to Superstores plc. Much will depend on the nature of the
relationship in terms of mutuality of trust and co-operation between the parties. If Superstores plc are insistent on
a launch price of ￡20·25 and a mark-up of 35% on its purchase price from GWCC then this is likely to be
unsuccessful.
– Attempt to reduce the material losses in the first 600 batches of production via improved process control.
– Attempt to negotiate a retrospective rebate based on volumes of packaging purchased.
– Improve the rate of learning of the hand-skilled cake decorators via a more intensive training programme and/or
altering the flow of production.
– Undertake a thorough review of all variable overheads which have been absorbed on the basis of direct labour
hours. It might well be the case that labour is not the only ‘cost driver’ in which case variable overheads might be
overstated.
– Undertake a thorough review of all fixed overheads to ensure that they are specific to the production of the Mighty
Ben cake.
– Adopt a ‘value engineering’ approach in order to identify ‘non value added’ features/aspects of the product or
processes used to produce it. This would have to be done in conjunction with Superstores plc, but might end in a
‘win-win’ scenario.
– Ensure that all overhead expenditure will be incurred in the most ‘economic’ manner.
