identification of the future risks which are associated with project. Such early
identification of uncertainties helps in preparation of contingency provisions and risk is
minimised through effective management.
Different types of management accounting systems
 Job costing system: It helps in assigning manufacturing cost to each products which are
produced by UCK Furniture. It is considered as one of the important cost controlling
method. This method helps in tracking of their actual expenses. This method is used only
when different types of goods are manufactured by organisation. The procedure which is
followed during use of this accounting system is mentioned below:
- Receiving enquiry: It includes the process of receiving the views of customers about quality,
price and time period of completion.
- Estimation of price: It can be done on the basis of tastes and preferences of customers.
- Order receiving: Orders are placed after assurance of customer about prices.

- Production order: It is placed in the beginning of production process.
- Cost recording: Recording each and every cost which is incurred during production process.
- Completion of job: Report is provided to accountant for final costing and its comparison with
estimated.
 Price optimisation system: It is considered as mathematical analysis done by the

number of profits.
1.3 Benefits of management accounting systems
Management accounting system enable in taking beneficial judgement on the basis of
short period consideration. It is really important to understand such facts and things which reflect
by the MAS so that effectiveness and efficiency could be maintain. Every management
accounting system have several benefits which need to evaluate in appropriate and suitable
frame. Following are several benefits which need to underpin by UKC Furnitures so that better
and appropriate working could be promoted:

 Job costing system: A major benefit which could be gain through implementing
appropriate job costing system is that individual and separately profit margin could be
assess with high frequency accuracy in various operations of business. It also support in
crafting employees benchmarking so that better and effective outcome could be drawn in
working towards effective manufacturing. It is flexible in nature which derive another
benefit which further suppose to enable in evaluating particular indirect cost or
manufacturing process cost. Hence, effective production and manufacturing will lead to
take place under such stances.
 Inventory management system: Inventory and stock need to manage at manufacturing
place properly so that efficacy in operations could be manage and maintain properly. One
of a most appropriate benefits which could be drawn by managing inventory is that it will
support an association to become successful by minimising the cost and wastage as well.
Along with this, this section will lead to improved cash flow of a company so that profit
could be generated in better associated manner. This benefits in manufacturing such
products and services only which highly demanded so that appropriate and optimal level

management accounting reporting whose relationship with organisational process is essential for
facilitating better and supported working. UKC Furniture required to integrate their management
accounting report with organisational process for assigning suitable outcome and better
productivity:

 Inventory and manufacturing reports enable in preparing such records of production
which need to take place on regular basis. It is really important to maintain appropriate
relationship with such aspects. This could be interlinked with organisational process of
production department whom need to produce only such quantity which demanded from
market world. This will assist in utilising all resources properly so that effective gains
and beneficial outcome possibility get enhance in order to maximise appropriateness in
working and operations with target accomplishment (Goyal, 2014).
 Another integration of organisational process and management accounting report concern
with operational budget report under which there is a need to set some benchmark related
with performance of various employees so that better and suitable operation and target
accomplishment get done. This will enable in gaining better outcome as well as better
associated frame could be sustain. Hence, with meeting of budget requirement
association become able to sustain into keen competitive world for more and better way.
Integration such process with reports is essential so that effective operations could take

INTRODUCTION
Principles of management accounting are used by the manager of organisation to drive
success in their business operations. This data which is gathered from different accounting
systems assists manager in business decision making and control. Different benefits which are
achieved through implementation of accounting systems are analysis of cost and revenue,
provides insight into business performance, work of cost reduction projects, helps in variance
analysis and strategic planning. This system consists different planning tools which is used for
forecasting future actions and accomplishment of desired targets. UCK Furniture is
manufacturing organisation provides tables and drawers (Christ and Burritt, 2013).
In the present report explain about, application of different cost analysis techniques,
merits and demerits of marginal and absorption costing, advantages and disadvantage of
planning tools. Also, adaptation of management accounting systems to respond financial issues
and use of planning tools to achieve success.
TASK 1
1.1 Application of cost analysis techniques for formulation of income statement
Cost: It is the monetary value which is paid by the management of UCK Furniture
regarding production of tables and drawers. While calculating the actual cost different aspects
which are considered includes efforts, resources, time and utilities, opportunity foregone etc.
There are different types of cost which are defined below:
Fixed and variable cost: Fixed cost remains constant and not fluctuated with the change
in production units. This cost will decrease with the increase in the number of units of
production. On other hand, variable cost means which is incurred by organisation regarding
production of products. This cost is directly related to production of number of units.
Opportunity and outlay costs: Outlay costs are considered as actual expenses which is
incurred by organisation on plant and machinery, labour, material etc. On the other hand,
opportunity cost means the cost in terms of earning which is foregone due to selection of next
alternative.
Difference between marginal and absorption costing

Marginal costing: This method is used by UCK Furniture to enhance their short term
decision making. This method is used to ascertain increase or decrease in total cost due to
production of one extra unit. It is calculated in the situation of no profit and loss. It considers
only variable cost which is incurred on labour and material (Macintosh and Quattrone, 2010).
Absorption costing: It is also known as full costing method because component of fixed
cost is also included while calculating total cost of product. It also used by the organisation for
valuation of their inventories. This method helps in long term decision making.

1.2 Application of management accounting techniques regarding financial reporting
The two different cost techniques are used regarding production of financial reports. As
per marginal costing method, it is observed that in month of January and February the net
income which is earned by UCK Furniture is 7000 and 133500. On other hand, by use of
Absorption costing method, the net income of January and February month is ascertained as
8980 and 134210 (Nandan, 2010).
1.3 Merits and Demerits of Marginal and Absorption costing
Marginal costing
Merits
 It provides the information about relationship between cost, price and volume.
 The valuation of stock is not get affected due to present year fixed costs
 Impact of production and sales policies is clearly visible and understood with the helps of
marginal costing technique
Demerits
 The major limitation of this method that it uses past data and decisions are taken for
future period of time
 It is not effective method for long term decision making
 It ignores the component of fixed cost
Absorption costing
Merits
 It fulfils the requirements of GAAP Compliant and helps in reporting to internal revenue
services
 It considers all cost which are incurred during production means both fixed and variable
Demerits

 It shows the profitability of organisation more better from actual
 This information mislead management and investors
TASK 2
2.1 Advantages and disadvantages of different planning tools used for budgetary control
Budget: It is being considered for financial plan and has to be developed for particular
period of time too. This concept is that which include various theories like assets, liabilities and
income with expenditure with cash flow etc. Budget is that which is divided according to the
different department in company and analyse which division is taking more fund and how they
are using such, if any wastage is seen then Budget has to be adjusted according to that only
(Burritt and et. al., 2011).
Budgetary control: This is that which specifically make a comparison in between the
actual budget used with budget prepared. It is be like which help in determining the problems
and deviation is being faced by organisation. Moreover, entity work hard toward minimising the
wastage made of resources and convert them to attain the sustainability in their different
operations as well. Although, it provide the direction to employees as in which direction they
have to perform in right context which help in improving skills and knowledge which is related
with performance and of various functions in organisation.
Several steps used to control the budget.
Manager of UCK furniture has many responsibility and they even work hard to control
their budget as well and for such few steps needs to be followed and here they as:
 Establishment of plan: First step, it is such which include the forecasting of future with
event and somehow it is required and necessary to have achievement by company. This is
such which help in coordination among various actions of employees in great manner.
 Actual performance: Moreover, it is required to analyse the actual performance of
employees in regards to set standard and thus record it to bring effectiveness in their
working too (Chen and et. al., 2011).
 Comparison with budget: A comparison is required at such stage so that is any
discrepancies found then they can make proper policy and working can be done in right
context too.

 Identification of variances: Step is too collect information related to variance received
in performance of employees. UCK furniture will bring method to improve such scenario
and make powerful come back with effective performance.
 Solution to everything: Last step is to provide better solution to issues in company as
this help in bringing effective work in different activity and manipulate firm to earn
higher profit as well (Goyal, 2014).
Planning tools
They are of various kind and provide better working in organisation as because this help
in having systematic working in company.
Contingency tool: Such concept is being used to monitor the different functions which
somewhere help in making plans. It help in dealing with external factors in proper way.
 Advantage: It is such which help in reduction of risk and expenditure with having
achievement in control too.
 Disadvantage: Many hurdles are there which come in between the working and thus it
also affect the productivity of organisation.
Forecasting tools: This is being used to identify the issues with external factor. It is
something which aid in planning for future purposes in effective manner and execution of
business operation are also there too.
 Advantages: Organisation make themselves to face hindrances and although also expand
their actions in company to have perfect working. Disadvantages: Moreover, decision and strategies are such which is mainly made on the
base of assumption in right format (Van der Stede, 2011).
PEST Analysis:
Political: There are various political factors such as tax rates, interest rates, political
instability etc. that put negative impact on operations and activities of company. So, firm
requires to consider these in order to perform its operations in better way.
Economical: Inflation, deflation, exchange rates, imports, exports etc. are the economic
variables that affects function of business. In order to perform activities appropriately, manager
requires to consider these.

Social: Tastes and preferences of customers are changing on regular basis or very
frequently. So, firms are require to understand these and develop their product and services
accordingly so that their needs can be meet.
Legal: Firms are require to follow all the laws and regulations made by government so
that operations and activities of business can be run in proper way. Compliance with all laws and
legislations of respective country helps in effective expansion of business.
SWOT: This tool is use by manager to ascertain strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats
of firm. One of the main benefit of this is that it helps in take better decision and
Porter's five force analysis:
This is useful, because, when you understand the forces in your environment or industry
that can affect your profitability, you'll be able to adjust your strategy accordingly. For example,
you could take fair advantage of a strong position or improve a weak one, and avoid taking
wrong steps in future.
Competition in the Industry
The importance of this force is the number of competitors and their ability to threaten a
company. The larger the number of competitors, along with the number of equivalent products
and services they offer, the lesser the power of a company. Suppliers and buyers seek out a
company's competition if they are unable to receive a suitable deal.
Potential of New Entrants Into an Industry
A company's power is also affected by the force of new entrants into its market. The less time
and money it costs for a competitor to enter a company's market and be an effective competitor,
the more a company's position may be significantly weakened.
Power of Suppliers
This force addresses how easily suppliers can drive up the price of goods and services. It is
affected by the number of suppliers of key aspects of a good or service, how unique these aspects
are, and how much it would cost a company to switch from one supplier to another.
Power of Customers
This specifically deals with the ability customers have to drive prices down. It is affected by how
many buyers or customers a company has, how significant each customer is, and how much it
would cost a customer to switch from one company to another.
Threat of Substitutes

Competitor substitutes that can be used in place of a company's products or services pose a
threat. For example, if customers rely on a company to provide a tool or service that can be
substituted with another tool or service or by performing the task manually, and if this
substitution is fairly easy and of low cost, a company's power can be weakened.
2.2 Estimation of expenses if change in number of hours
Calculation of variable cost per unit using identified high and low activity level:
Total cost= (Expenses of high activity- expenses of low activity)/(Highest activity hours spent -
lowest hours spent)
Total expense per units = (9820-7410)/(795-505)=8.31
Total expenses for July:
650*8.31=5401.5
For August:
750*8.31= 6232.5
2.3 Preparation of cash budget
