【Answers】
25 The correct answers are Specific and Measureable.
26 Objectivity According to the code of ethics, a threat to the fundamental principle of objectivity may arise.
27 BTH Co's wages and salaries cost schedules and Variance reports for wages and salaries The operations director is
specifically interested in the impact that recruiting extra staff is having on staff costs. These staff costs will primarily be
wages and salary costs, so looking at the wages and salary schedules will allow the director to see what BTH Co's
actual staff costs currently are. Reviewing the variance reports for wages and salaries will then allow the director to see
how the current actual costs compare to the budgeted figures. BTH Co's administration costs as a whole are likely to
include a number of other costs apart from staff costs. In this case, the director is looking specifically at staff costs, so
reports specifically about this area will be more useful to him than reports about a wider area of costs.
