other.

6. Z Ltd has
a capacity to
produce 2,000 units of product P. Presently it is
producing and selling 1,600 units at the following cost - price structure:
Total ()
Materials 80,000
| Labour 64,000
Variable packing charges 16,000
|Other variable expenses 40,000
Fixed expenses 1,20,000
Total Cost 3,20,000
Sales 4,00,000

Another company, V Ltd, is willing to purchase 500 units of product P

@150 per unit as raw material for its final product. For this order no variable
packing cost is to be incurred. The Sales Manager is not willing to accept the offer
due to the following reasons -

Price offered (i.e., 150) is far below the current selling price
Surplus capacity is only 400 units.
You are required to advise the top management regarding acceptance or
rejection of the offer.

7. Write short notes (with example)

(a) Sunk cost
(b) Opportunity cost
8. (a) A company produces 3 products X, Y and Z for which a single
material 'A' is required and the standard cost of material X is 15 per litre. The
standard requirement for each product is
A-3 litres per unit,
B-5 litres per unit, and
C-2 litres per unit
During a month actual production was: X - 30 units,Y - 50 units and Z
- 80 units. 520 litres of material 'A' were used at a total cost T 7,176. Calculate
material variances.
(b) Standard set for labour cost of a standard product is 2 hours per
unit@45per hour
Actual Results during a month:
Units produced 1800 units
Total hours worked 3650, of which 200 hours were lost as normal idle time
and 100 hours for machine breakdown.
Total wage paid 1,79,580.
Calculate labour cost variance, Rate of Pay variance, ldle time variance
and Efficiency variance.
