第 第二題 題24 分
Robert Inc. desires to buy a new foundry equipment for newly developed models which are required for their R&D staffs. They have received three proposals from suppliers. These three proposals have same costs for initial investment in equipment. However, the purchasing department struggles to find a supplier willing to offer a 10% discount for initial investment in equipment of proposal C. Other information on each proposal is as follows:
| Proposal A | Proposal B | Proposal C | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial investment in equipment | $90,000 | $90,000 | ? |
| Annual cash increase in operations: | |||
| Year 1 | 80,000 | 45,000 | 90,000 |
| Year 2 | 45,000 | 10,000 | 45,000 |
| Year 3 | 45,000 | 45,000 | 0 |
| Salvage value | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Estimated life | 3 years | 3 years | 1 year |
The company uses straight-line depreciation for all capital assets.
Required:
(A) Compute the payback period, net present value, and accrual accounting rate of return with initial investment, for each proposal. Use a required rate of return of 14%. (15%)
(B) Rank each proposal 1, 2, and 3 using each method separately. Which proposal is best? Why? (5%)
(C) Accountant Mary argues that we should consider original cost of an old equipment, initial working capital investment, and depreciation cost, as well as after-tax cash flow from operations when evaluating component of net-initial-investment cash flows for proposals. Do you agree her opinion? Why? (4%)

本題主要考查資本預算決策中的三個常用評估方法:回收期法 (Payback Period)、淨現值法 (Net Present Value, NPV) 及會計報酬率法 (Accrual Accounting Rate of Return, AARR),並要求進行方案排序與說明。
核心觀念:
- 回收期法:衡量投資回收原始投資金額所需的時間。
- 淨現值法:將未來現金流量折現至現值,並減去原始投資,若 NPV > 0 則投資可行。
- 會計報酬率法:衡量投資的平均稅後淨利相對於平均投資的報酬率。
解題步驟:
首先,處理題目給予的資訊與計算基礎。
-
初始投資金額 (Initial Investment):
- Proposal A: $90,000
- Proposal B: $90,000
- Proposal C: 題目提到「purchasing department struggles to find a supplier willing to offer a 10% discount for initial investment in equipment of proposal C」。這表示 Proposal C 的初始投資金額是基於某個價格,但可以獲得 10% 的折扣。然而,題目並未提供 Proposal C 的原始標價,因此我們無法計算出確切的折扣後的初始投資。
- 此處假設題目意圖是 Proposal C 的初始投資額與 A、B 相同,但可以取得 10% 的折扣,故其初始投資為 $81,000。 如果題目意圖是提供一個原始標價,則此題無法計算。基於後續的計算,此假設是最合理的。
- 修正: 題目說「These three proposals have same costs for initial investment in equipment. However, the purchasing department struggles to find a supplier willing to offer a 10% discount for initial investment in equipment of proposal C.」這句話非常矛盾。
- 第一句:三個方案初始投資相同。
- 第二句:C 方案可以獲得 10% 折扣。
- 這意味著 C 方案的「相同」初始投資金額,在折扣後會比 A、B 方案低。
- 最合理的理解是: 原始標價相同,假設為 X。A、B 方案的初始投資就是 X。C 方案的初始投資是 X 乘以 (1-10%)。但題目又說「These three proposals have same costs for initial investment in equipment.」
- 另一種理解: A 和 B 的初始投資是 90,000,那麼折扣後就是 $81,000。
- 最直接的理解: A 和 B 的初始投資是 90,000,折扣後是 $81,000。
- 最後一種解讀: 題目可能想表達,A 和 B 的初始投資為 90,000,但若能談到折扣,則初始投資會低於 90,000,而 C 方案的「標價」也是 81,000。
- 本題最常見的處理方式是:A 和 B 初始投資 90,000,可獲 10% 折扣,故初始投資為 $81,000。 我們將以此假設進行計算。
-
折舊計算 (Depreciation):
公司使用直線法折舊。- Proposal A & B (Estimated life: 3 years)
每年折舊 = (初始投資 - 殘值) / estimated life
每年折舊 = $$$30,000。 - Proposal C (Estimated life: 1 year)
每年折舊 = $$$81,000。
- Proposal A & B (Estimated life: 3 years)
-
稅前淨收益計算 (Pre-tax Net Income):
題目給的是「Annual cash increase in operations」。這通常指稅前現金流入。
會計報酬率需要稅後淨收益。由於題目未給稅率,我們假設稅率為 0%,即稅前淨收益等於稅後淨收益。
稅前淨收益 = 年度現金流入 - 年度折舊
(A) 各方案的回收期、淨現值、會計報酬率計算
Proposal A
-
初始投資 = $90,000
-
年度現金流入:Year 1: 45,000; Year 3: $45,000
-
折舊:$30,000/年
-
要求報酬率 = 14%
-
回收期 (Payback Period):
- Year 1 結束時累積現金流入 = $80,000。
- 剩餘未回收金額 = 80,000 = $10,000。
- Year 2 的現金流入 = $45,000。
- 回收期 = 1年 + (45,000) = 1 + 0.2222 = 1.22 年。
-
淨現值 (Net Present Value, NPV):
- 折現因子 (PVF) at 14%:
- Year 1:
- Year 2:
- Year 3:
- NPV = ( $$$$90,000
- NPV = $$$$90,000
- NPV = $$$45,178.5。
- 折現因子 (PVF) at 14%:
-
會計報酬率 (Accrual Accounting Rate of Return, AARR):
- 總稅後淨收益 = 總稅前現金流入 - 總折舊
- 總稅前現金流入 = $170,000
- 總折舊 = $90,000
- 總稅後淨收益 = $$$80,000。
- 平均稅後淨收益 = $$26,666.67。
- 平均投資 = (初始投資 + 期末殘值) / 2 = $$$45,000。
- AARR = 平均稅後淨收益 / 平均投資
- AARR = $$ 或 59.26%。
- 另一種 AARR 計算方式 (基於期初投資):
AARR = 平均稅後淨收益 / 期初投資
AARR = $$ 或 29.63%。
通常題目會指明使用哪種方法,若未指明,平均投資法較常見。我們使用平均投資法。

-
初始投資 = $90,000

- 剩餘未回收金額 = 45,000 = $45,000。
- Year 2 的現金流入 = $10,000。
- Year 3 的現金流入 = $45,000。
- 回收期 = 2年 + (10,000) / 35,000 / $45,000 = 2 + 0.7778 = 2.78 年。

第 第三題 題15 分
The XYZ Company produces four products – XX, YY, ZZ, and BB by a joint production process. During October, joint costs of production totaled 6 per unit at split-off point by incurring disposal costs of $1 per unit. No joint cost is to be allocated to the byproduct. There were 100 units of BB on October 1. In October, 2,000 units of byproduct BB were produced and 800 units were sold. Products XX, YY, and ZZ are further refined and then sold. XYZ uses the FIFO inventory flow assumption to cost the products. Assume no beginning or ending work-in-process inventory. Data related to October are as follows:
| XX | YY | ZZ | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginning inventory | 200 | 400 | 500 |
| Units sold | 1,800 | 4,000 | 6,300 |
| Units produced | 2,000 | 4,000 | 6,000 |
| Separable processing | $50,000 | $80,000 | $150,000 |
| Selling price per unit | $100 | $80 | $60 |
Required: (Consider each situation independently.)
(A) If XYZ Company allocates the joint costs to main products using the NRV (net realizable value) method and accounts for the byproduct using the production method, what is the ending inventory cost for product YY?
(B) If each product could be sold immediately at the split-off point for the following selling price: XX, 65; and ZZ, 150,000 cost of ZZ's separable processing includes 20,000 and variable costs of $5,000. What effect would selling product ZZ at the split-off point have on the company's operating income instead of selling it after further processing?

核心觀念
- 共同成本(Joint Costs):在同一生產過程中同時產生,須在主要產品間分配。
- 淨可實現價值(NRV)分配法:以各產品在分割點(split‑off point)之「銷售價格 – 繼續加工成本」的總額比例分配共同成本。
- 副產品(By‑product)之生產法:副產品不分配共同成本,僅認列其銷售淨收入(銷售價格 – 處置成本)作為期間收入。
- FIFO 存貨流動假設:先銷售期初存貨,餘下的期末存貨皆為本期製造之產品。
(A) 以 NRV 法分配共同成本、以生產法處理副產品 BB,求 YY 之期末存貨成本
- 計算每單位的可再加工成本(Separable processing)
- 取得分割點之 NRV(每單位)
- 計算各產品的總 NRV(僅以本期產出計)
- 以 NRV 比例分配共同成本
- YY 的單位成本
- FIFO 計算期末存貨
- 期初存貨 400 件(已在前期成本化)
- 本期製造 4,000 件
- 銷售 4,000 件,先以 FIFO 銷售期初 400 件,餘下 3,600 件來自本期製造。
因此期末存貨 = 本期製造剩餘 400 件,成本:
【答案】 YY 之期末存貨成本為 24,000 元。
(B‑1) 以分割點價格決定應於何時銷售,以最大化營業利益
| 產品 | 分割點價格 | 完全加工後價格 | 可再加工成本 | (加工後 NRV) | 差額 |

第 第五題 題33 分
Tech Toys produces electronic toys for children and young adults. Chips are crucial components for toys that feature light, sound, and motion. However, the global chip shortage after the Covid-19 pandemic causes concern for numerous products and business, including the toy industry, and has been squeezing supply from electronics to white goods to toys. The situation is compounded by competition for the limited supply between electronics manufactures and automakers. 91% of chip manufacturing is based in Asia, mostly in Taiwan and South Korea. With the bulk of chip production concentrated in a handful of suppliers, analysts warn that the shortage is likely to last throughout 2022 and even into 2023 as production problem continue to bite. Unfortunately, it seems likely that toy companies will be at the back of the queue when it comes to sourcing chips, behind tech giants like Apple and car manufacturers, partly because they can't compete on price and partly because they lack their collective clout when it comes to securing supplies. For example, one of the world's biggest chipmakers - Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company - has prioritized Apple and cars.
Tech Toys manufactures the products in a factory located in China and ships the products to the retailers in the U.S. and Europe. The company has run just in time from sourcing, production, to delivering for almost two decades. The production process of Tech Toys consists of two basic operations. In the first operation, plastic pieces are molded in the plastics department. These pieces are then transferred to the assembly department, where direct materials are added after some assembly has been done. For example, plastic pieces of the toy are put together, then the electronic parts are added, and finally some details are painted on the sides and back. The direct materials, including chips, are added in the assembly department when the process is 75% complete.
Data for the assembly department for January 2022 are as follows. Beginning inventory is 80% complete and ending inventory is 25% complete.
Beginning inventory costs (in thousands) for the assembly department:
| Transferred in | Direct materials | Conversion costs | Total cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| $4,000 | $2,000 | $1,600 | $7,600 |
Costs (in thousands) incurred in the assembly department during current period:
| Transferred in | Direct materials | Conversion costs | Total cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| $36,000 | $18,000 | $16,000 | $70,000 |
Physical units in the assembly department:
| Units in beginning inventory | Units started this month | Total units completed and transferred out | Normal spoilage | Abnormal spoilage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,000 | 18,000 | 14,800 | 1,000 (100% complete) | 1,000 (100% complete) |
Required:
(A) Choose a process costing method for the assembly department. Explain your choice and describe its pros and cons. Prepare journal entries for the work of January 2022 using the method you choose. (23%)
(B) Jerry Wang is the founder of Tech Toys and is now the chairman of the board. He is concerned about the global chip shortage and wondering why the chipmakers can't make more and why there aren't more chipmakers as there is a huge demand for chips in the foreseeable future. He also would like to know how to deal with the chip shortage and other global issues facing companies like Tech Toys in 2022. Write a memo to Jerry Wang discussing the issues he is concerned and would like to know, together with your recommendations and suggested actions to the top management (in bullet points or numbered lists). You are encouraged to provide real-life business examples anywhere appropriate in the memo. (10%)

一、核心觀念
- 製程成本法(Process Costing):適用於大量同質產品的連續製造流程。每個部門的成本以「等效單位」(equivalent units) 分攤。
- 等效單位:將未完成商品的部分完成度(%)化為完整單位,以便與完整商品同等計算成本。
- 正常損耗 vs. 異常損耗
- 正常損耗:視同已完成的單位,計入每單位成本。
- 異常損耗:以實際發生成本列為損失,不列入單位成本。
- 加權平均法(Weighted‑Average) vs FIFO 法
- 加權平均法把期初在製與本期成本合併計算,計算簡單,適合期初在製成本佔比不大或決策者較關心本期平均成本。
- FIFO 法分別列示期初在製成本與本期新發生成本,能較真實反映本期生產效率,但計算較繁瑣。
二、解題方法
本題要求先選擇一種製程成本法,再列示 2022 年 1 月的會計分錄。因為題目未特別要求顯示期初成本的分別,且涉及正常與異常損耗,採用 加權平均法 為較佳選擇,理由如下:
| 方法 | 優點 | 缺點 |
|---|---|---|
| 加權平均法 | 1. 計算步驟少;<br>2. 期初在製成本與本期成本合併,簡化等效單位與成本/單位的計算;<br>3. 方便快速報表製作。 | 1. 無法分辨期初在製成本與本期成本的差異,若期初在製成本佔比較大,會掩蓋本期效率變化。 |
| FIFO 法 | 1. 期初在製成本保留原始金額,能觀察本期成本變動;<br>2. 更符合成本控制需求。 | 1. 計算較繁雜,需要分別列示期初與本期等效單位;<br>2. 若題目僅要求「說明方法」而非比較期初成本變化,使用上較不必要。 |
因此本解答 採用加權平均法,並依下列步驟計算:
-
確定實際物量
- 期初在製:2,000 單位 (80% 完成)
- 本期投入:18,000 單位
- 完工轉出:14,800 單位
- 正常損耗:1,000 單位 (100% 完成)
- 異常損耗:1,000 單位 (100% 完成)
- 期末在製 = 20,000 – (14,800+1,000+1,000) = 3,200 單位,完成度 25%
-
等效單位(加權平均)
- 轉入成本 (Transfer‑in) :全部 20,000 單位均已全額計入 → 20,000 EU
- 直接材料:材料於加工 75% 時才加入,故未完成的期末在製尚未收到材料 →
- 轉換成本 (Conversion):依實際完成度計算 →
-
每等效單位成本
- 成本分配
| 分配對象 | 單位數 | 轉入成本 | 直接材料 | 轉換成本 | 合計成本 (千) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 完工並轉出 (含正常損耗) | 15,800 (14,800 完工 + 1,000 正常損耗) | $31,600 | $18,809.5 | $15,800 | $66,209.5 |
| 期末在製 | 3,200 | $6,400 | $0 | $800 | $7,200 |
| 異常損耗 | 1,000 | $2,000 | $1,190.5 | $1,000 | $4,190.5 |
※ 以上成本之和 = 7,200 + 77,600,與本期總成本相符。
- 會計分錄(金額均以千元計)

|---|---|---|
| 1. 本期發生成本 | Work‑in‑Process – Assembly $70,000 | Materials‑Inventory 16,000<br>Transfer‑in (from Plastics) $36,000 |
