NEW QUESTION # 97
A procurement manager is requested to source a major component. She needs information on sup-pliers' direct and indirect cost, fixed and variable costs to prepare for negotiations. Therefore, she collects 17 annual reports from potential suppliers who are competing in the same industry. In order to estimate an approximate value of fixed and variable costs in that industry, which of the following technique should be adopted by the procurement manager?
Answer: D
Explanation:
Public annual reports can be a source of information that helps the procurement professional to analyse an industry's cost and revenue using the line of best fit. Line of best fit is one of the most important outputs of regression analysis. Regression refers to a quantitative measure of the relationship between one or more independent variables and a resulting dependent variable. Regression is of use to professionals in a wide range of fields from science and public service to financial analysis.
In this case, by collecting and analysing 17 annual reports, the procurement manager can find the line of best fit which goes approximately through the middle of the data points with an equal num-ber of data points above and below it.
The slope of the line of best fit is the approximate variable costs the industry. The easiest way to calculate it is to take a point at the right-hand end of the line of best fit and note its cost and output levels. Divide the cost by the output and this gives and approximate figure for the cost per unit of output or variable cost. This gives an approximate value for the industry fixed and variable costs.
NEW QUESTION # 98
Ranjit is purchasing a large piece of laboratory equipment which is brand new to the market. Can this be classified as a straight re-buy?
Answer: C
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (paraphrased from CIPS L4M2 content) CIPS uses the classic buying situation model:
* New buy - first time the item is purchased; high information need and perceived risk.
* Straight re-buy - routine repurchase of a product that has been bought before and is well-known.
* Modified re-buy - a repeat purchase with some changes (e.g. spec, price, supplier).
Here, the equipment is brand new to market, meaning:
* It has not been purchased before by the organisation.
* There is no previous sourcing history for this specific product, so it cannot be a straight re-buy.
Thus:
* Option D is correct - it is not a straight re-buy because it has not been specified or sourced before.
* Option A is incorrect - even if the supplier has been used before, the product is new.
* Option B - there cannot be an "existing specification" for something new to the market; if there is, it would be a modified or straight re-buy, not a new product situation.
* Option C - a standing purchase agreement would imply established purchasing arrangements: that contradicts "brand new to market".
Relevant CIPS L4M2 areas:
* Buying situations: new buy, straight re-buy, modified re-buy
* Implications for information gathering, evaluation and risk
* How new products affect sourcing and market management

NEW QUESTION # 101
Which of these are variable costs?
* Staff overtime
* Premises costs
* Insurance costs
* Material costs
Answer: C
Explanation:
Variable costs are those that fluctuate based on production levels, usage, or business activity. Understanding these is essential when developing a business case, as they affect operational cost planning.
The CIPS L4M2 Study Guide, Chapter 3: Whole-life costing and cost management, defines:
"Variable costs change with the level of output or activity. These include costs such as raw materials, fuel, energy based on usage, and overtime wages." Analysis:
* 1. Staff overtime - Variable. Incurred based on workload or production requirements.
* 2. Premises costs - Fixed. Rent or lease payments do not vary with production.
* 3. Insurance costs - Fixed. Usually a set annual premium.
* 4. Material costs - Variable. Directly linked to the amount of goods produced.
Correct answer: B (1 and 4 only)
CIPS Study Guide Reference:
* Module: L4M2 - Defining Business Needs
* Chapter 3: Cost Types
* Section: Fixed and Variable Costs
