3. (a) On scrutinising the overall productivity factors, you have found out a dismal performance in the Material Productivity area. You are to find methods/techniques for improving Material Productivity. State briefly your line of action. (b) M/s. EPC Ltd., has a manufacturing capacity of 1,00,000 units of Product 5+5=10 'A' per month. The selling price varies with volume as given below:
Volume in units per mopnth Selling price per unit (Rs.) (i) Up to 50,000 1.80 (ii) 50,001 to 80,000 1.70 (iii) 80,001 to 90,000 1.60 (iv) Above 90,000 1.50 Fixed costs work out to Rs. 80,000 per month. But, for achieving a production beyond 60,000 units per month, three additional workers and beyond 80,000 units per month, five additional workers would be required. Variable cost is Re. 0.30 per unit. Average salary of a worker is Rs. 2,000 per month. Find out the production volume at which profit will be the highest. Also calculate the maximum profit. 4. Write short notes on any four of the following:5x4=20 (i) Methods used in Job Evaluation; (ii) Retraining; (iii) Line of Balance; (iv) Plant Layout; (v) Performance appraisal. Role of Cost and Management Accountant in Operations Management (vi) and Control. SECTION II 5. Competent Automobile is an authorised service centre of Maruti Cars. A new 5+3+2 manager employed wants to analyse the efficiency of work and service personnel. To facilitate his analysis, he has classified the service procedure into the following seven activities: Activity Duration (Hrs.) Precedence Activity A 8 — B 4 — C 6 A D 9 B E 11 A F 3 C G 1 D,E,F. Help him by— (a) Drawing the network diagram 6 (b) Finding the critical path. 4 (c) Calculating the expected time for service of a car. 3 (d) Amount of slack time for the technician in each activity. 3 (e) Computing the Earliest Starting and Finishing Time. 1+1=2 (f) Computing the Latest Finishing and Starting Time. 1+1=2 6. (a) Briefly bring out the basic differences between commercial calculation 8 and social cost benefit computation in Project Analysis. The answer may be put up in a tabular format only.
(b) A Project requires an initial cash outlay of Rs. 50,000 and offers an annual expected cash inflow of Rs. 40,000 for three years and has no salvage value. The risk coefficients for three years are estimated to be 0.80, 0.70, and 0.65 respectively. The risk free rate of interest is estimated to be 15%.

Given the PV factor @ 15% as 0.870 for 1st year, 0.756 for 2nd year, 0.658 for 3rd year. Calculate the NPV of the Project. 7. (a) The following data pertains to a project— 10 Activity Normal time (days) Crash time (days) Cost slope (Rs.) 1-2 3 2 700 1-3 7 4 200 2-3 5 3 100 2-4 8 6 200 3-4 4 2 400 It is desired to compress the project to the least possible duration day by day. You are required to compress the project day by day and estimate the total extra cost at each stage of the crashing. (b) An investor is willing to start a project in India. As a Cost Accountant, you 10 are required to guide him for selection of projects. 8.
