1Within the AAT AMAC organisational planning process, which document translates the long-term strategic objectives into a quantified financial plan covering the next 12 months?
A.The annual budget
B.The mission statement
C.The mendelow matrix
D.The audit report
Explanation: The annual budget is the short-term quantified financial expression of an organisation's plans for the coming year, derived from its longer-term strategic objectives. It converts strategy into measurable targets that managers can be held accountable for.
2A business expects to sell 4,000 units, hold 300 units of closing finished goods inventory and start the period with 250 units. How many units must be produced?
A.3,950 units
B.4,050 units
C.4,300 units
D.3,700 units
Explanation: Production = sales + closing inventory - opening inventory = 4,000 + 300 - 250 = 4,050 units. The production budget adjusts the sales requirement for the planned change in finished goods inventory.
3Mendelow's stakeholder matrix recommends that an organisation should adopt which strategy toward a stakeholder group with HIGH power but LOW interest?
A.Minimal effort
B.Keep informed
C.Keep satisfied
D.Key player management
Explanation: Mendelow's matrix places high-power, low-interest stakeholders in the 'keep satisfied' quadrant. They can exert significant influence if their interest is aroused, so they must be kept content to avoid them moving into the key-player quadrant.
4Which budgeting approach starts each budget period from a base of zero, requiring every cost to be justified before it is included?
A.Incremental budgeting
B.Zero-based budgeting
C.Rolling budgeting
D.Flexible budgeting
Explanation: Zero-based budgeting (ZBB) builds each budget from a zero base, requiring managers to justify all expenditure rather than rolling forward prior figures. It avoids perpetuating past inefficiencies but is time-consuming to operate.
5A production process requires 0.75 labour hours per unit and the labour rate is GBP 14 per hour. For a production budget of 6,000 units, what is the budgeted direct labour cost?
A.GBP 45,000
B.GBP 90,000
C.GBP 63,000
D.GBP 84,000
Explanation: Labour cost = units x hours per unit x rate = 6,000 x 0.75 x GBP 14 = GBP 63,000. The labour budget multiplies the budgeted output by the standard hours and standard rate.
6In a system of budgetary control, which budget is normally the principal budget factor (limiting factor) that determines all other budgets for a typical commercial business?
A.Cash budget
B.Sales budget
C.Capital expenditure budget
D.Administration budget
Explanation: For most commercial organisations sales demand is the principal budget factor, so the sales budget is prepared first and constrains the production, materials, labour and overhead budgets. Budgeting must begin with the factor that limits activity.
7A budget that is continuously updated by adding a new accounting period as the most recent one expires, so that it always projects the same number of periods ahead, is called a:
A.Fixed budget
B.Rolling budget
C.Master budget
D.Functional budget
Explanation: A rolling (continuous) budget is kept up to date by adding a further period (e.g. a month or quarter) as each one ends, maintaining a constant planning horizon. This is useful when conditions change rapidly and forecasts quickly become outdated.
8When preparing a cash budget, which of the following items should be EXCLUDED because it is a non-cash item?
A.Payment to suppliers
B.Depreciation charge
C.Receipt from credit customers
D.Wages paid
Explanation: Depreciation is an accounting allocation of an asset's cost and involves no movement of cash, so it is never included in a cash budget. Cash budgets record only actual receipts and payments of money.
9A company budgets sales of GBP 200,000 in a month. Experience shows 30% of sales are collected in the month of sale and 70% in the following month. If the prior month's sales were GBP 150,000, what cash is collected this month?
A.GBP 200,000
B.GBP 60,000
C.GBP 245,000
D.GBP 165,000
Explanation: Cash received = 30% of this month's GBP 200,000 (GBP 60,000) plus 70% of last month's GBP 150,000 (GBP 105,000) = GBP 165,000. The receipts pattern lags collections according to the credit terms.
10Which of the following best describes a key benefit of participative (bottom-up) budgeting compared with imposed (top-down) budgeting?
A.It is always faster to complete
B.It improves manager motivation and goal congruence
C.It eliminates the risk of budgetary slack
D.It removes the need for senior review
Explanation: Participative budgeting involves the managers responsible for meeting targets in setting them, which typically improves motivation, ownership and goal congruence. People are more committed to targets they helped create.
