Actual exam question for CIMA's CIMAPRO19-P02-1 exam

Question #: 30
Topic #: 3

The performance report for the production manager of a company for the last month included the following.

1,000 direct labor hours were worked at a basic rate of pay of $10 per hour. 200 of these hours were worked during overtime for which a 30% overtime premium was paid. 80 of these overtime hours were to fulfill a customer order that had originally been planned for manufacture next month. The sales manager had agreed to bring forward the delivery of this order at the request of the customer. The remaining overtime hours were due to unexpected inefficiency of the workforce; this has been traced to poor supervision by a junior manager.

Material costs included the following:

$5,300 of material

AMaterial A is a commodity and, due to changes on the global market, the actual unit cost of this material for last month was 6% higher than had been expected
$5,250 of material B. The usage of material B last month was 5% higher than it should have been due to faulty workmanship on the production line.

A$20,610

B$19,810

D$20,360

Overtime costs are definitely a big factor here.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The key seems to be getting the Cloud Router to properly advertise the subnet routes to the on-premises router. I'm leaning towards option D, creating a BGP route policy.

Ugh, I hate these statistical process control questions. They always trip me up. Let me see if I can work through this step-by-step and not overthink it.

Okay, let's see. I know the pkg info command gives you information about a specific package, but I'm not sure if that's the right approach here. Maybe the pkg contents command could help me find the package that owns this binary?

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll need to think through the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 to figure out the best answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the shell corporation setup. I'll need to review the details of that part of the scenario.
