Section 1 (50% of marks)
Scenario:
You are the assistant to the Finance Director of Bespoke Wedding Gowns Ltd, a company which commenced to trade on 1 January 2014. It manufactures one specialist product, very expensive wedding dresses. Although every gown is different and individually designed, the cost of buying in materials and manufacture are so similar for each gown that standard costing techniques can be applied.
The major shareholder of the company, Mr Satin, is a non-executive director who is not involved in the day to day running of the company. He is very interested in any financial information presented at Board meetings, which he always attends.
The Finance Director, Mrs Silk, has given you the task of preparing the budgets for next financial year (i.e. year ended 31 December 2015). Mrs Silk has told you that the directors wish to avoid the use of an overdraft facility because of the costs involved, and the budgets should incorporate a 10% increase in profits on last year (after tax). An overall gross profit percentage of 55% for the year is required.
