BCG MATRIX:



The below table illustrates that an organization is composed of four divisions with annual sales ranging from $15,000 to $70,000. Division 2 has the greatest sales volume while on the other hand division 4 has the lowest sales volume.

You have been also given market share and growth rate of each division. By developing the BCG Matrix on your rough paper, you have to only identify which division falls in which quadrant (stars, question marks, cash cows and dogs)?

MGT402 Assignment # 2

Solution Question No. 1 
Part-1 
Delta Corporation 
Income Statement (Under Absorption Costing System) 
For the Quarter Ending ------------- 
(Rupees) 
Sales (20,000 * 30) 600,000 
Less: Cost of Goods Sold 
Opening Stock 0 
Add: Production Cost (15.50 * 24,000) 372,000 
Less: Closing Stock (15.50 * 4,000) (62,000) 310,000
Gross Profit 290,000 
Less: Operating Expenses 
Selling & Administrative Expenses (Fixed) 60,000
Net Profit 230,000 

Working: 
Production Cost (Total) = 80,000+100,000+120,000+72,000 = 372,000 
Per Unit Production Cost = 372,000/24,000 = 15.50 



Part-2Delta Corporation 
Income Statement (Under Direct Costing System) 
For the Quarter Ending ------------- 
(Rupees) 
Sales (20,000 * 30) 600,000 
Less: Variable Cost of Goods Sold 
Opening Stock 0 
Add: Variable Production Cost (12.50 * 24,000) 300,000 
Less: Closing Stock (12.50 * 4,000) (50,000) 250,000 
Gross Profit 350,000 Less: Fixed Expenses 
Factory Over Heads (Fixed) 72,000 
Selling & Administrative (Fixed) 60,000 132,000 
Net Profit 218,000 

Working: 
Total Variable Cost = 80,000+100,000+120,000 = 300,000 
Per Unit Cost (Variable) = 300,000/24,000 = 12.50 
Solution Question No. 2 

Net Profit Calculation (Contribution Margin Approach) 

a) Existing Plan 
(Rupees) 
Sales (100 * 100) 10,000 
Less: Variable Cost (70 * 100) (7,000) 
Contribution Margin 3,000 
Less: Fixed Cost (2,000) 
Net Profit 1,000 



b) New Plan (Increase Sales by 10 Units) 
(Rupees) 
Sales (90 * 110) 9,900 
Less: Variable Cost (70 * 110) (7,700) 
Contribution Margin 2,200 
Less: Fixed Cost (2,350) 
Net Profit / (Loss) (150) 

Working: 
10% of 100 Units = 100 * 10% = 10 
Per Unit Existing Sales Price = 100 
Per Unit Sales Price after 10% Decreased Sales Price = 100 – 10 = 90 

Advice by Management Accountant: 
In this case, the new plan will not be feasible for the company to adopt as if the company adopts the new plan, it will suffer the loss instead of making any profit.

ECO403 GDB Solution

“Consider IS curve and LM curve in an open economy as explained in a Mundell Flemming model. By having expansionary fiscal policy, there is an increase in government purchase and the IS curve shifts towards right. There is no change in LM curve and it remains vertical. Due to the shift of IS curve, the interest rate and income level remains same but the exchange rate varies”.

Required:

Keeping in view of open economy in the above scenario, if the government want to use expansionary fiscal policy to increase the income level then it cannot do that, why?

Solution:

If the govt. want to use expansionary fiscal policy to increase the income level then it cannot do that, because there is no change in the interest rate it is given and the LM is vertical LM curve, if use expansionary fiscal policy only the exchange rate become high and the income level remains fixed
