(SWOT analysis) After considering all above questions at minimum, Organizational Objectives are set and strategies are decided to achieve those objectives as part of planning process. Everything considered during the planning process should be recorded and updated each time plan is revised. 3.1.1 Objectives Objectives are long term SMART (specific, measureable, attainable, relevant and time bounded) targets set by the organization. Examples: Increase Profitability (specific) of the organization (relevant) by 10% (measureable, attainable) in two years (time bounded). This can be an objective of profit motive organization. Increase number of users (specific) of the golf club (relevant) by 20% (measurable, attainable) in five years (time bounded). This can be an objective of Not for profit organization.

1 Sources of Data & Information Learning Objective: Describe sources of information from within and outside the organization (K). 1.1 Sources Outside the Organization Newspaper, magazines and published books. Work done by government departments such as monetary policy and fiscal policy. References from other organizations. These can be competitors, suppliers and customers. Tele communication media such as television and internet. Labour unions, trade associations and shareholders through general meetings both annual & extraordinary. Academic and professional education providers. External market research. 1.2 Sources Inside the Organization Invoice, GRN, Vouchers and other internal documents. Informal gossip (grapevine) around the organization. Formal team meetings. Memo and reports. Intranet and e-mails. Surveys in the form of questionnaires to employees. Observing employees attitudes and morale.

2 Uses & Limitations of Published Information/Data Learning Objective: Explain the uses and limitations of published information/data (K). 2.1 Uses of Published Information Published information is used as cost effective way of gathering information for initial planning. Published information is used for those areas where information gathering by organization is not possible due to lack of expertise or cost associated with obtaining information. It is used where information is immediately needed. 2.2 Limitations of Published Information Published information may not be available in a format and medium organization wants.

Published information can be too general and not precisely applicable to the type of organization in question. Published information can create information overload such as lengthy books. Information from media such as internet may not be reliable unless we have the information on knowledge and experience of publisher. They take no responsibility for information provided as opposed to in-house employees who can be held accountable.

3 Impact of Economic Environment on Cost & Revenue Learning Objective: Describe the impact of general economic environment on costs/revenue. Economic environment decides the demand for goods or services. Business cycle such as recession or growth can influence what and how much organization produce. Economic environment decides the price for goods or services. If economy is prospering, higher pricing can be charged to customer than economy is contracting. Economic environment affects the investment decision. If inflation increases, it will affect the net present value (NPV) of future cash flows of the organization. Economic environment affects source and duration of finance to be used for operating organization and growth. If interest rate is rising then, organization will prefer issuing shares to avoid paying interest at higher rate. Rise in foreign exchange rate of home currency will make exports expensive for buying organization in other country, which can lead to reduced sales.

4 Sampling Methods or Techniques Learning Objective: Explain sampling techniques (random, systematic, stratified, multistage, cluster and quota). 4.1 Statistical Terms 4.1.1 Population Population is the whole set of items subject to statistical matter under consideration.

Example: Population can be whole workforce within an organization for the purpose surveying labour attitude towards work. 4.1.2 Sample Sample denotes individual items selected from a population. Example: Selection of 10% of workforce represents sample for total workforce (population). Samples are used to reduce the amount of work, time and cost associated with research work. Result obtained based on examination of samples are assumed as result for whole population. Example: Conclusion reached on attitudes of workforce either good or bad based on sample is assumed as attitude of whole workforce in a population. 4.1.3 Sample Size Sample size is the number of items selected as sample from a population. Example: 10 out of 100 workers are selected from total workers. It represents sample size of 10. Sample size depends on judgement of researcher, which in turn is influenced by time available, cost required and need for accuracy of outcome. 4.1.4 Frequency Frequency is the average distance among samples in a population. Lower distance leads to higher frequency and higher distance leads to lower frequency. Example: If we take number of years of experience at one axis and number of workers in workforce at other axis then frequency depends on difference between numbers of year experience among workforce. If difference between highly experienced and least experienced worker is of 30 years then it is said to have lower frequency than difference between highly experienced and least experienced worker would be of 10 years.

4.1.6 Standard Error Standard error is difference in conclusion reached or decision taken because of using sample rather than if whole population is used. In case of low frequency, risk of standard error increase as there can be situation sufficiently different, which is not covered by sample.

Therefore, sample size has to be increased to cover every possible situation. 4.1.7 Standard Deviation Standard deviation is the probability that estimated results will be different from actual results. 4.1.8 Probability Probability is the likelihood of occurrence or non-occurrence of particular outcome. 4.2 Random Sampling Random sampling is a type of non-statistical sampling method. It is also called non-probability sampling. Random sampling involves selection of number of items within population without any planning. In random sampling, each sample in a population has an equal chance of being selected. Example: If there are 100 samples in a population then each sample has 1% probability (chance) of being selected. 4.2.1 Benefits Random sampling is cost effective, efficient method and does not require any technical knowledge, resources and planning time for determining samples. 4.2.2 Limitations Random sampling involves the risk of bias by the researcher. Researcher may deliberately choose those samples which are easy to interview. Example: Researcher may choose workers, which he/she considers cooperative. Samples selected based random sampling may not be representative of whole population even if samples are fairly selected by researcher. This will expose the sample selected to standard error. Example: Random selection of may lead to selection of most experienced workers those are likely to have good attitudes towards work. This will lead to wrong conclusion of research work because inexperienced workers are not interviewed in the research.

4.3 Systematic Sampling Systematic sampling makes use of statistical techniques. Systematically sampling is used to reduce the chances of standard error. It involves usage of unbiased (fair) formula so that wide variety of samples can be selected, which is more likely to be representative of whole population. However, systematic sampling involves selection of first sample randomly. It forms the input to the formula for selection of subsequent variable. Randomly selected sample is also counted as the sample. Example: Selection of 5th worker in a payroll register randomly then each subsequent sample is selected after 8 number of workers from recent worker (14th, 23th, 32th etc) until required sample size is achieved. 4.3.1 Benefits Systematic sampling does not involve risk of bias by the researcher. It helps to reduce the risk of standard error. 4.3.2 Limitation Samples selected based on systematic sampling depends on statistical formula used to select samples from the population. 4.4 Stratified Sampling Diagram: Stratums Range in $ Average Sales Revenue in $ 500 customers (Poor) 50 – 150 50,000 300 customers (Middle class) 151 – 500 97,650 150 customers (Rich) 501 – 1000 112,575 Stratified sampling makes use of stratums (layers). Samples in a population having identical characteristics are combined into one layer. Range is established for each layer so that characteristics of each sample can be determined. Example: Number of customers who brought goods or services of value from $50 to $150 are grouped into one layer. Similarly, number of customers who brought goods or services of value from $151 to $500 are grouped second layer, which is placed below the first layer.

This process continues until all the population are allocated to layers. From each layer certain percentages of samples are chosen for examination. Example: 10% samples from top layer, 20% samples from second layer and 100% percent samples from third layer. 4.4.1 Benefits It provides the basis for justification in case data gathered results in undesired outcome. It allows layer of high importance can be identified and makes certain that no sample of high importance is unexamined. Example: Usually, large amount of sales revenue depends on small numbers of customers. Therefore, organization can secure large amount of sales revenue by interviewing small number of customers. It saves cost as layers of low importance can be examined in part. Example: Small amount of sales revenue depends on large number of customers. Therefore, organization can spent comparatively less time and money to secure small amount of sales revenue. 4.4.2 Limitations Stratified sampling is very time consuming in terms of allocation of each member of population into layers. However, spreadsheet software can do this quickly and accurately. Stratified sampling requires data to be available in electronic format in order to use spreadsheet software. If data is not available in electronic format then additional cost will be incurred to convert data into electronic format. Stratified sampling involves selection of samples from each layer randomly.

4.5 Clustered Sampling Exam Support: Do not get confused clustered sampling with systematic sampling. Examiner would try to dodge you. Clustered sampling makes use of groups. Clustered sampling involves grouping of samples in a population into physically identifiable blocks. Example: Grouping of customers with respect to location (East, West, North and South). Samples inside each group must be different in characteristics from each other. Example: At the East (cluster) of the country, number of customers (samples) of different economic status such as poor, middle class, rich etc can be interviewed. Number of cluster chosen depends on the judgement of researcher. Example: Researcher may choose the East and the North cluster. However, if he/she chooses the East and the West then it will require more travelling time and cost. Samples in each cluster chosen should be examined in full. Examination of part of the cluster will not provide results, which are representative of whole population. Example: If the East location (cluster) is chosen then all the customers (samples) having different economic status should be interviewed. Result of cluster examined is assumed as result for whole population. Example: If the East location is interviewed, then interviews of customers in the East location are considered as viewpoints of customers in other locations (West, North and South).

4.5.1 Multistage Sampling Multistage sampling is advanced form of clustered sampling. It also makes use of groups. It sub divides each groups into sub groups. Example: Locations inside the country, can be sub divided into towns, towns can be sub divided into blocks and soon. These sub groups are also known as secondary groups. It is useful where primary group is too large to be used for the purpose of research. It allows the selection secondary groups, which provide most benefits in least cost. Example: Selection of particular town (sub group) for research may be made, as it is easy to approach customers in that town. Customers may live nearer (high frequency) to each other. It will reduce travelling cost and increase speed of research. 4.6 Quota Sampling Quota sampling involves selection of definite number of samples from various categories of population. Population can be categorized with respect to age, sex, economic status, cultural background, language etc. Example: Selection of 100 samples for interviewing persons from age 25 to 40 and selection 50 samples interviewing persons from age 41 to 60. Number of samples to be selected from each segment depends on judgement of researcher. Quota sampling is especially useful when demographic balance of different group is known. Example: Suppose demographic balance of two females for each male in a country. Based on that researcher can select samples from a particular category in the ratio of (female to male) 2:1.

Solution: Correct answer is B. Explanation: A Stratified sampling involves categorizing samples (members of population) into layers. Samples are categorized based on some established criteria. Therefore, each member of population does not have equal chance of being in the sample. B Random sampling is the selection of sample without any planning. It means it does not involve any bias and provides equal opportunity of being selected is available to every single sample in the population. C Systematic sampling involves the selection of members of population based on established formula. Therefore, each member of population does not have equal chance of being in the sample. D Cluster sampling involves categorizing samples into groups. Samples having particular characteristics are included in a group. Therefore, each member of population does not have equal chance of being in the sample.

Salary of storekeeper to look after inventory in a warehouse (cost centre). 3.5 Production or Factory Overheads (F.O.H) These are costs having properties of indirect costs. These costs are incurred for the manufacturing of products in the production department. Following are the components of factory overhead costs. 3.5.1 Indirect Materials Indirect materials are the material costs having properties of indirect costs. Example: Amount of adhesive material used to join pieces wood in making chair. 3.5.2 Indirect Labour Labour costs having properties of indirect costs. Semi-skilled & unskilled labours are considered indirect costs. Reasons: They do multiple jobs of general nature. Example: Handling material and providing tools to skilled labours when needed. They are paid relatively lower wages or salaries than skilled workers and unlikely to be form major part of product cost. They may be temporary workers so formal records may not be present to determine its cost to the organization in exact monetary value. 3.5.3 Indirect Expenses Indirect expenses are costs having properties of indirect cost. They are not identifiable to individual products. Example: How it would be possible to identify factory rent expenses to each individual product?

Details Distinction b/w production and nonproduction costs allow allocation of resources between resources needed for production and resources needed for undertaking operating (administration, selling & distribution) activities. Forecasting It allows estimating production and nonproduction cost separately. Production cost usually changes with production and sales volume. Non-production cost such as administration cost usually changes with operating philosophy of the organization than production and sales volume. Pricing It enables management to set productselling price more rationally. Production costs which are directly identifiable to the products can be justified to customer where as non-production costs are treated as period cost because it would be unfair to charge customers for administration and selling cost. They are cost to the organization itself. Product mix It allows finding appropriate product mix (combination of products) for production and sale by recognizing products according to the ability to incur operating cost to the organization. So that those products generating lower gross profit than operating cost incurred could be weeded out. Performance It enables senior management to held measurement accountable operational managers for their area of responsibility such as production, sales, administration and finance etc. Reporting Financial reporting standards require separate disclosure of production and nonproduction cost. Separate information available for production and nonproduction cost help to discharge responsibly under financial reporting requirement.

5 Costs Behaviour Learning Objective: Explain and illustrate with examples classifications used in the analysis of the product/service costs including by function, direct. Fixed and variable, stepped fixed and semi variable costs. Describe and illustrate, graphically, different types of cost behaviour. All the types of costs discussed above can have one or more of the following cost behaviours. 5.1 Variable Costs (Marginal Costs) Variable costs change in proportion with change in the activity level (sales volume, units produced). Example: Material cost will increase as each additional unit is made. If there is no production then there will be no material cost. In theory it results in diagonal straight line when plotted on graph, but in practice this may not be the case because of economies of scale (bulk purchase discounts) or diseconomies of scale (penalties for additional usage). Example: Supplier may offer 10% discount for each additional unit purchased after first 10,000 units. Taxable income above certain level is subject to higher tax rate.

5.2 Variable Costs per Unit Variable costs per unit remain constant regardless of change in activity level. Example: Material cost (sugar) per unit (kg) for 10th unit will be same material cost per unit for 1st unit. In theory it results in horizontal straight line when plotted on graph, but in practice it is different because of economies of scale (bulk purchase discounts) or diseconomies of scale (penalties for additional usage). Example: Material cost per unit for 11th unit would be lower if supplier offers discount on each extra unit purchased after 10 units.

5.3 Fixed Costs Fixed costs are costs, which remain constant regardless of change in activity level. However, fixed costs only remain constant within limited range of activity level. Beyond that range, it may no longer be fixed. It means fixed costs are fixed only in short-term. In the longer-term organization’s activity level may be different resulting in different fixed cost. Therefore, in the long term all costs have tendency to be variable. Example: Opening of new retail shop due to increased sales demand for business products can give rise to additional rent expense. As a result, total fixed cost borne by the business will be increased. When plotted on graph, it gives horizontal straight line same as variable cost per unit.

5.4 Fixed Costs per Unit Fixed costs per unit decrease with the increase in the activity level. Reason is that, total fixed cost will be charged to more units of product (activity level) than before. As a result fixed costs per unit fall. Example: If budgeted fixed cost of $10,000 is divided by 10,000 units then fixed cost per unit will be equal to $1. However, if budgeted fixed cost of same $10,000 is divided by 20,000 units then fixed cost per unit will be equal to $0.5.

5.5 Step-Fixed Costs Step-fixed costs are costs, which rise in steps. These costs remain constant within one range of activity level, and then increase suddenly in the next range of activity level. In longer term, fixed costs tend to be step fixed.

5.6 Semi-Variable Costs Semi-variable costs are costs, which have both variable and fixed elements. Semi- variable costs start with certain amount of fixed cost, and then subsequent costs are variable cost. Do not get confused to it with step-fixed cost. Step fixed costs does not necessary arise in proportion (linear or straight line). While in semivariable cost, variable part rises in proportion. Example: Landline telephone bills include line rent charges (fixed) regardless of usage of facility, but calls (variable) are charged say, $0.5 per call (proportion or straight line).

6 High Low Method Learning Objective: Use high/how analysis to separate the fixed and variable elements of total costs including situations involving semi variable and stepped fixed costs and changes in the variable cost per unit. It is used to split total cost and semi variable cost into its fixed and variable components. To forecast total cost at given activity level. Formula: 𝑉𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡 =

𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 − 𝐿𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙 − 𝐿𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙

𝐹𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 = 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑡 ℎ𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝐴. 𝐿 − (𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝐴. 𝐿 × 𝑉𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡) 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 = 𝐹𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 + (𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙 × 𝑉𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡) 6.1 Applying High Low Method Illustration Following data relates to ABC plc. Production volume Total cost (activity level) 10,000 12,000 13,000 11,000 9,000

$12,000 $13,500 $13,200 $12,500 $12,000

Required: Calculate the fixed and variable components of the total cost. Solution: Identifying highest and lowest activity level as in this case is production volumes. Highest production volume = 13,000 units. Lowest production volume = 9,000 units.

Step2: Determining variable cost per units using highest and lowest production volume and corresponding costs. 𝑉𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡 =

𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 − 𝐿𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙 − 𝐿𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙

𝑉𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑠 =

$13,200 − $12,000 $1,200 = = $0.3 13,000 − 9,000 4,000

Step3: Determining fixed cost. 𝐹𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 = 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑡 ℎ𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝐴. 𝐿 − (𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝐴. 𝐿 × 𝑉𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡) 𝐹𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 = $13,200 − (13,000 × $0.3) = $9,300

7 Structure of Linear Functions & Equations Learning Objective: Explain the structure of linear functions and equations. 7.1 Linear Relationship Linear means straight. Linear line means straight line. Linear relationship is the fashion in which variable increases or decreases resulting in the straight line if plotted on graph paper. Example: If we divide sales revenue by sales volume in that year, then each year sales revenue per unit will be $1. This relationship is said to be linear. Year Sales volume Sales revenue Sales revenue per unit

1 2,000 $2,000 $1

2 4,000 $4,000 $1

3 6,000 $6,000 $1

Example: Sales volume 2,000, 4,000 and 6,000 units in year 1, 2 and 3 respectively will result in a straight line if plotted on graph paper. It means sales volume is arising in linear fashion.

9.1 Cost Centres Cost centres are those functions or departments of the organization having an authority to incur costs within the limits of their authority and assume equal responsibility to account for those costs. Example: Production department having authority to incur costs for producing products and having equally responsible to account for those costs. Similarly, marketing and research & development departments having authority to incur costs for product promotion and development respectively and having equally responsible for costs. 9.2 Revenue Centres Revenue centres are those functions or departments of an organization having an authority to generate revenues probably by selling products and are equally responsible to account for those revenues generated for the organization. Example: Sales department having authority to sale products and having equally responsible to account for those sales made. 9.3 Profit Centres Profit centres are autonomous subsidiaries, divisions and branches of an organization having authority to generate profits and are equally responsible to account for those profits. Example: Organization may be dispersed in branches such as east and west branch in the country. Each branch may have complete authority to set selling price and incur costs for purchasing or manufacturing products according to local market conditions. Profit centres can include several cost and revenue centres. Profit centres are higher in organizational hierarchy at tactical level, rather than cost and revenue centres which are at operational level in an organization. All cost and revenue centres report to their respective profit centres.

Example (continued): Each of the branch (profit centre) has their own sales (revenue centre) and production & marketing (cost centre) departments. These cost and revenue centres report on their performance to their respective branches. 9.4 Investment Centre Investment centre are autonomous entity having authority to make investments and responsibility to account for those investments. It does not mean that other responsibility centres cannot make investments. They can, but their authority is limited to certain amount of investment. Example: Purchase of new printer by a branch. Investment centre are usually head office of the organization where major investment decisions are made. Example: Purchase of new land, plant and taking over another organization. Investment centre can include several profit centres. Investment centre are highest in the hierarchy at strategic level. All profit centres report to their respective investment centres. Example: A multi-national organization may have several subsidiaries across the globe. Each subsidiary (profit centre) depends for resources, such as products, machinery, money etc on head office (investment centre) in home country. These subsidiaries report on their performance to head office.

10 Information Needs of Responsibility Centres Learning Objective: Describe the differing needs for information of cost, profit, investment and revenue centre managers.

Solution: Correct answer is B. Explanation: Rent expense relates to factory and factory is used to make more than one product. Therefore, amount of rent is not directly identifiable to the product. Therefore, it is not a direct cost for the product. 11.2 Question (12/06, Q17): A manufacturing organisation incurs costs relating to the following: (1) Commission payable to salespersons. (2) Inspecting all products. (3) Packing the products at the end of the manufacturing process prior to moving them to the warehouse. Which of these costs are classified as production costs? A. (1) and (2) only B. (1) and (3) only C. (2) and (3) only D. (1), (2) and (3) Solution: Correct answer is C. Explanation: (1) Commission payable to sales person is obviously classified as selling cost. (2) Inspection of products is done in production department. It is because inspection is part of production process. Inspection is made to check the quality of production processes. (3) Packing products is part of the product. Customers frequently make purchase considering packaging of products as indicator of quality. Therefore, it is considered as production cost.

11.3 Question (12/06, Q12): Which one of the following should be classified as indirect labour? A. Assembly workers on a car production line B. Bricklayers in a house building company C. Machinists in a factory producing clothes D. Forklift truck drivers in the stores of an engineering company. Solution: Correct answer is D. Explanation: A Assembly is core activity in the manufacturing of cars. Cost of assembly work can be directly and reliably identifiable to each car. B&C Same reasons as above are applicable for bricklayers and machinists. D Forklift truck drivers are used in the stores department outside the production department. Stores department is established to facilitate efficient supply of raw materials for production and finished goods for selling. Therefore, salaries of forklift drivers cannot be directly identified to each product or department. Hence, it is classified as indirect labour cost. 11.4 Question (12/06, Q45) A semi-variable cost is one that, in the short term, remains the same over a given range of activity but beyond that increases and then remains constant at the higher level of activity. Is this statement true or false? A. True B. False Solution: Correct answer is B.

Explanation: Semi variable cost has an element of both fixed and variable cost. Fixed part of semi variable cost remains constant regardless of activity level. Variable part changes in proportion (straight line) with each unit increase in activity level. The above statement represents the definition of step fixed cost rather than semi variable cost. 11.5 Question (12/06, Q16: P/P, Q8): Up to a given level of activity in each period, the purchase price per unit of a raw material is constant. After that point, a lower price per unit applies both to further units purchased and retrospectively to all units already purchased.
