8、l price. For volume side, as calculated above, the budget volume is 6400kg; the actual volume is 5600kg. So there is 800kg variance which is favorable and each unit variance is 0.5kg. The likely reason causing the variance comes from three aspects. First of all, the company upgraded the production m
9、achinery recently, and new machine may use materials efficiently, so it reduced the waste of materials. Secondly, the company switched suppliers and using higher-grade materials can decrease waste of materials too. Finally, the company has concluded a higher-than-expected wage settlement for product
10、ion operatives, which will maintain employees with higher skills as well as decrease turnover of employees, and it also can increase efficiency in using materials. For price aspect, the budget price is 10 per kg, and the actual price is 11per kg, it is adverse that one pound over the budget price. T
11、he company switching suppliers may cause the increase of negotiation cost. There may be a long-term relationship between Tricol plc and its old suppliers, so the suppliers may take lots of discounts to the firm. After changing suppliers, the discount may disappear. Furthermore, higher grade material
12、s increased unit price. Overall, the total material variance is favorable. 8,000 5,600=2,400. Direct labour varianceThe direct labour total variance is composed of direct labour efficiency variance and direct labour rate variance. The budget direct labour hours are 3,200hrs and the actual labour hou
13、rs are 3,520 hrs. There are more 320hrs needed than the budget, and each unit is 0.2hrs, which it is obviously adverse. The company upgrading the production machinery may need time for employees to adopt it. Also, employees need training time. The rebuild process of machinery consumed time too. In a
14、 word, the chargeable hours have increased. The budget direct laour hours rate is 9 per hour, the actual hours rate is 10 per hour. It is adverse that one pound higher than budgeted. It is possible caused by both internal and external factors. Higher-than-expected wage settlement may be internal rea
15、son for the variance, and new machinery may be needed to recruit new employees to operate the machinery, which also can increase the expense. For external factors, the changing of labour market may increase labour cost; the government legislation also can increase the labour cost, for example minimu
16、m pay. Both direct labour efficiency and direct labour rate variances are adverse, so the direct labour total variance is adverse. Overhead varianceAs calculated above, total overhead variance is caused by administration and insurance. Each factor has 200 variance, so the total overhead variance is
17、400 and it is adverse. During the process of changing supplier, the company needed more expense on public relationship or negotiation, in addition, in order to maintain the new machinery, administration cost will be increased too. For insurance aside, the improvement of machinery will need more insu
18、rance fees to cover, which also contributes to the increase of insurance fee of new employees. Part Bu Selection and application of two investment appraisal techniquesAs the company is keen to recoup the cost of the investment within five years, I will choose Payback period and Net Present Value to
19、help me complete the appraisal. In order to fulfill the appraisal easily, there are some assumptions listed below should be considered before the appraisal. All revenue and inflow are assumed cash flow All investment cost incurred in year 0 No uncertainty is considered Do not consider inflation and
20、taxation Market rate of return is expected rate of return Rate of return is varying along with time Tricol plc Payback period for project distribution arm Year Net cash flowCumulative Cash FlowCash FlowYear 0(1,000,000)(1,000,000)Cash InflowYear 1160,000(840,000)Year 2160,000(680,000)Year 3320,000(3

In other words, t
23、he period is under companys expectation. The project can be executed. However, according to Net Present Value analysis, in terms of present value, within five years, what the NPV will bring net result is net cash loss but not net cash surplus. In general, the company should consider time value and o
24、ther factors, so the project should not be executed.u Factors impact on the investment should be consideredVarious factors will impact on result of investment. I will outline factors should be considered when the management reviewing my recommendation in financial and non-financial factors. Financia
25、l factor As distribution arm is financial long-term beneficial project, it can be used inlong-term period and bring benefits continuous. The investment cost is 1,000,000, which can be considered a large investment. So it more likely needs long period payback period. The management should focus on lo
26、nger cash flows for longer period of future. On the other hand, Net Present Value in year five is (28,000) only take 2.8% percents of the investment cost, it is more likely surplus in year six. Another financial factor is source of million pounds. If it is internal source, the management mainly conc
27、entrate on opportunities cost. If it is cost of capital or cost of capital taking much weight of the source, the management must pay cost of the source firstly, the marketing rate of return likely low for the company, in addition, the management should use higher discounted cash flow. Non-financial
28、factorThe investment must be consistence with companys strategic plan. As Tricol is a plc, it must take social responsibility such as obeying government policy, minimizing impact on environment and minimizing impact on natives. ConclusionFor real competition is more complex and fierce, in order to make accurate decisions, management should consider more factors during the decision-making; furthermore, the management should use more tools to help them such as IRR, DCF.
