Exports are either raw materials or manufactured goods. Raw materials are products of the land, such as cotton, timber or rubber. Some raw materials such as iron ore, come from mines. These raw materials are often exported by the countries that produce them to other countries where they are made into manufactured goods.

Some countries produce food for export, for example, meat, sugar, or cereals such as wheat and maize. These countries are agricultural countries. An agricultural county needs fertile land and a good climate. A cold, dry climate is not suitable for agriculture.

A country which produces manufactured goods is known as an industrialized country. An industrialized country cannot always produce enough food for its own needs. In this case, it does not export foodstuffs. Instead it has to import them. It relies on exports of manufactured products and pays for imports with the money it earns from the exported goods.

A. two

B. three

C. four

22. Raw materials are often exported by the countries that produce them to other countries where().

Hair Co manufactures three types of electrical goods for hair: curlers (C), straightening irons (S) and dryers (D.) The budgeted sales prices and volumes for the next year are as follows:

Each product is made using a different mix of the same materials and labour. Product S also uses new revolutionary technology for which the company obtained a ten-year patent two years ago. The budgeted sales volumes for all the products have been calculated by adding 10% to last year’s sales.

The standard cost card for each product is shown below.

Both skilled and unskilled labour costs are variable.

The general fixed overheads are expected to be $640,000 for the next year.

Required:

(a) Calculate the weighted average contribution to sales ratio for Hair Co.

Note: round all workings to 2 decimal places. (6 marks)

(b) Calculate the total break-even sales revenue for the next year for Hair Co.

Note: round all workings to 2 decimal places. (2 marks)

(c) Using the graph paper provided, draw a multi-product profit-volume (PV) chart showing clearly the profit/loss lines assuming:

(i) you are able to sell the products in order of the ones with the highest ranking contribution to sales ratios first; and

(ii) you sell the products in a constant mix.

Note: only one graph is required. (9 marks)

(d) Briefly comment on your findings in (c). (3 marks)

5 The directors of Blaina Packaging Co (BPC), a well-established manufacturer of cardboard boxes, are currently

considering whether to enter the cardboard tube market. Cardboard tubes are purchased by customers whose

products are wound around tubes of various sizes ranging from large tubes on which carpets are wound, to small

tubes around which films and paper products are wound. The cardboard tubes are usually purchased in very large

quantities by customers. On average, the cardboard tubes comprise between 1% and 2% of the total cost of the

customers’ finished product.

The directors have gathered the following information:

(1) The cardboard tubes are manufactured on machines which vary in size and speed. The lowest cost machine is

priced at $30,000 and requires only one operative for its operation. A one-day training course is required in order

that an unskilled person can then operate such a machine in an efficient and effective manner.

(2) The cardboard tubes are made from specially formulated paper which, at times during recent years, has been in

short supply.

(3) At present, four major manufacturers of cardboard tubes have an aggregate market share of 80%. The current

market leader has a 26% market share. The market shares of the other three major manufacturers, one of which

is JOL Co, are equal in size. The product ranges offered by the four major manufacturers are similar in terms of

size and quality. The market has grown by 2% per annum during recent years.

(4) A recent report on the activities of a foreign-based multinational company revealed that consideration was being

given to expanding operations in their packaging division overseas. The division possesses large-scale automated

machinery for the manufacture of cardboard tubes of any size.

(5) Another company, Plastic Tubes Co (PTC) produces a narrow, but increasing, range of plastic tubes which are

capable of housing small products such as film and paper-based products. At present, these tubes are on average

30% more expensive than the equivalent sized cardboard tubes sold in the marketplace.

Required:

(a) Using Porter’s five forces model, assess the attractiveness of the option to enter the market for cardboard

tubes as a performance improvement strategy for BPC. (10 marks)
