Task 1 – Learning Outcome 3.1
Explain the financial planning process in an engineering business
Q1: In order to achieve its objectives and profit targets, an engineering business must have in place an adequate financial plan. Explain the main steps in forming a financial plan for a typical engineering company.
(350 words)
Task 2 – Learning Outcome 3.2
Examine the factors influencing the decision-making process during financial planning

(300 words)
Task 3 – Learning Outcome 3.3
Analyse standard costing techniques
Q3: Mega Widgets Ltd have designed a new Super Widget which may revolutionise inter-stellar sandwich making.
Production costs:
Variable, material, labour etc: £10 per item
Fixed, machinery, tolling heating etc £20,000 per year
Administration + selling overheads:
Fixed: £35,000
The company have to decide whether to make the widgets and sell them. Calculate the selling price based on absorption and marginal costing techniques. The company wish to make a 40% profit on each unit.
Analyse the most appropriate costing method if production is at a rate of 100 widgets per hour and sales are predicted to be 20,000 per year.
(300 words + calculations)
For the following three tasks, use the following information:
You have been passed some notes from an initial project planning meeting after a design breakthrough. You have been tasked with preparing the feasibility study.
Super Widget Manufacturing Project
To manufacture the new super widget requires 3 manufacturing processes and a packing process. Quotations for the machinery have been obtained.
1. Squidging machine, £10k, 2 operators, 50 units per hour, maintenance 6 month intervals @ 4hours, running cost £25/ hour
2. Banging machine, £20k, 1 operator, 100 units per hour, maintenance yearly @ 8hours, running cost £30/ hour
3. Thumping machine, £5k, automated, 200 per hour, maintenance monthly @ 1hour, running cost £10/ hour
4. Packing process, current equipment can be used, 1 operator, 20 units per hour, maintenance by operators daily @ 30 minutes.
Installing the machines takes 1 half day each and requires 1 electrical and 1 mechanical fitter.
Training takes 1 hour per operator and requires the machine being available.
Commissioning each machine takes 2 days, requires both fitters and 1 operator.
Production is to be spread evenly across the year, with batches produced in a single run, once per week.
Labour costs are £10 per hour per operator, £15 per hour for fitters.
Task 4 – Learning Outcomes 4.1
Establish the project resources and requirements
Q4:List the total resources and associated costs required to complete the whole project for a 2 year production run.
Task 5 – Learning Outcomes 4.2
Produce a plan with appropriate time-scales for completing the project
Q5: Produce a project plan covering installation, commissioning, training and operating production for the two years.
Task 6 – Learning Outcomes 4.3
Plan the human resource requirement and costs associated with each stage of the project
Q6:Plan the human resources required listing the requirements on a weekly basis and costs on a monthly basis.
