Q.1 Choose the alternatives given below. 10
Under costing both fixed and variable costs are treated as
product cost.
Marginal Absorption
Standard Uniform
The arises due to difference between the number of
working days in the budgeted period and number of actual working days.
Idle time Variance overhead
Material Usage Calendar
Variable cost plus fixed cost plus or minus profit or loss is equal to
Sales Purchases
P/V Ratio Contribution
If P/V Ratio is 20% and fixed lost Rs.1,00,000 then break-even sales are

5,00,000 50,000
2,00,000 1,50,000
A formal communication, mostly written, which generally moves
upward.
Budget Report

When actual cost incurred is less than the standard cost, the deviation is
known as
Favorable Unfavorable
Adverse No variance
A the difference between the actual cost and standard cost.
Profit Fixed Cost
BEP Sales Variance
(Standard time Actual time) X Standard rate
Labour cost Labour efficiency

Q.4 The following is the basic cost of a firm ABC: 10
Fixed operating cost Rs. 2,500
Sale price (per unit) Rs.
Variable operating cost (per unit) Rs.
Determine Break-even point in units and rupees.
If fixed operating cost increase to Rs.3000 what will be the new breakeven
point (in units)?
If the sale price increase to Rs.12.50 and variable operating cost to
Rs.7.50. What would be the impact, on break-even point?

records:
For using 10 kgs of GEMCO the standard material requirement is
10
Material Quantity Rate per kg
A 8 6.00
B 4 4.00
During April 2016, 1000 kgs of GEMCO were produced the actual
consumption of material is as under:
Material Quantity Rate per kg
A 750 7.00
B 500 5.00
Calculate:

Two companies ABC Ltd and XYZ Ltd., Sell the same type of product, their
budgeted profit and loss accounts for the year shows the following:
ABC Ltd.

XYZ Ltd.

Sales 150 150
Less: Variable Cost 120 100
Fixed Cost 15 135 3.5 135
Budgeted profit 15 15
You are required to calculate the break-even point of each company. Also
state which company is likely to earn greater profit if there is
Heavy demand
Poor demand for its product.
