Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

Telephone, television, radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an　election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set.News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a　flood can bring help from distant countries within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast.

How has this speed of communication changed the world？ To many people,the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago,communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America.This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, one battle, or fight, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed.They would not have died if news had come in time.In the past,communication took much time than it does now.

There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.

The Hi Life Co (HL Co) makes sofas. It has recently received a request from a customer to provide a one-off order of sofas, in excess of normal budgeted production. The order would need to be completed within two weeks. The following cost estimate has already been prepared:

Notes

1 The fabric is regularly used by HL Co. There are currently 300 m2 in inventory, which cost $17 per m2. The current purchase price of the fabric is $17·50 per m2.

2 This type of wood is regularly used by HL Co and usually costs $8·20 per m2. However, the company’s current supplier’s earliest delivery time for the wood is in three weeks’ time. An alternative supplier could deliver immediately but they would charge $8·50 per m2. HL Co already has 500 m2 in inventory but 480 m2 of this is needed to complete other existing orders in the next two weeks. The remaining 20 m2 is not going to be needed until four weeks’ time.

3 The skilled labour force is employed under permanent contracts of employment under which they must be paid for 40 hours’ per week’s labour, even if their time is idle due to absence of orders. Their rate of pay is $16 per hour, although any overtime is paid at time and a half. In the next two weeks, there is spare capacity of 150 labour hours.

4 There is no spare capacity for semi-skilled workers. They are currently paid $12 per hour or time and a half for overtime. However, a local agency can provide additional semi-skilled workers for $14 per hour.

5 The $3 absorption rate is HL Co’s standard factory overhead absorption rate; $1·50 per hour reflects the cost of the factory supervisor’s salary and the other $1·50 per hour reflects general factory costs. The supervisor is paid an annual salary and is also paid $15 per hour for any overtime he works. He will need to work 20 hours’ overtime if this order is accepted.

6 This is an apportionment of the general administration overheads incurred by HL Co. Required: Prepare, on a relevant cost basis, the lowest cost estimate which could be used as the basis for the quotation. Explain briefly your reasons for including or excluding each of the costs in your estimate.
