CIMAPRA17-BA2-1 Exam - Topic 1 Question 64 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIMA's CIMAPRA17-BA2-1 exam
Question #: 64
Topic #: 1
[All CIMAPRA17-BA2-1 Questions]

A company has two production departments and two service departments (Maintenance and Stores). The overhead costs of each of the departments are as follows.

The following equations represent the reapportionment of each of the service department overheads to the other.

M = 4,700 + 0.1S

S = 5,800 + 0.2M

Where M = total Maintenance overhead after reapportionment from Stores

S = total Stores overhead after reapportionment from Maintenance

60% of the total Maintenance overhead and 50% of the total Stores overhead are to be apportioned to Production Department 1.

The total production overhead for Production Department 1 after reapportionment of the service departments' overhead costs is closest to:

I feel like the answer is going to be around $71,000 based on my calculations, but I’m not completely confident. I hope I didn’t make a mistake!

I’m a bit uncertain about how to apply the percentages for the overheads after reapportionment. Does anyone remember how we handled that in practice?

I think we need to solve those equations for M and S first before we can find the total overhead for Production Department 1, right?

I remember we did a similar question on reapportionment last week, but I’m not sure how to set up the equations correctly for this one.

I've seen similar problems before, so I think I have a good strategy. I'll set up the equations, plug in the given values, and then calculate the final overhead for Department 1.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. First, I need to calculate the total Maintenance and Stores overhead after the reapportionment. Then I can figure out how much of that gets allocated to Department 1.

The key here is to configure the restriction tables to block the specific trunk access codes for both phone system integrations. Option A seems like the best way to address the toll fraud prevention requirement.

This is a tricky one. Compromising accounts could potentially assist with multiple types of attacks, so I think the answer is E - all of the above. I'll double-check my work, but that's my best guess.

This seems straightforward. The Postfix configuration file is typically located in the /etc/postfix directory, and the main configuration file is called 'main.cf'. Option A is the correct answer.
