SOLUTION 1 (a)
Objective of Cost Accounting:
These are the following important objectives of cost accounting:
Ascertainment of Cost:
The primary objective of the cost accounting is to ascertain cost of each product, service, job,
operation or service rendered.
Ascertainment of Profitability:
Cost accounting determines the profitability of each product, process, job, operation or service
rendered. The statement of profit or losses and balance sheet also submitted to the
management periodically.
Classification of Cost:
Cost accounting classifies cost into different elements such as materials, labours, and expenses.
It has further been divided as direct cost and indirect cost for cost control and recording.
Control of Cost:
Cost accounting aims at controlling cost by setting standards and compared with the actual, the
derivation or variation between two is identified and necessary steps are taken to control them.
Fixation or Selling Prices:
Cost accounting guides management in regard to fixation of selling prices of the product. It is
also helpful for preparing tender and quotations.
SOLUTION 1 (b)
Types of Cost Accounting:
Marginal Costing:
Marginal costing is a costing and decision-making technique that charges only the marginal costs
to the cost units and treats the fixed costs as a lump sum to be deducted from the total
contribution, in obtaining the profit or loss for the period.
Standard Costing:
Standard costing is a system of cost ascertainment and control in which predetermined standard
costs and income for products and operations are set and periodically compared with income
generated in order to establish any variances. Standard costing systems are very expensive to
develop and maintain; they were also designed for traditional manufacturing systems in which
direct labour and direct materials are the most important costs. Recent years have seen decline
in the use of such systems as companies become less labour intensive.

SOLUTION 2
Computation of Cost of Goods Manufactured:
Direct material used 530,000
Add: Direct labour 450,000
Prime cost 980,000
Add: Factory overhead (980,000 x 50%) 490,000
Total manufacturing cost 1,470,000
Add: Work in process opening inventory 120,000
Total work in process during the period 1,590,000
Less: Work in process ending inventory (110,000)
Cost of goods manufactured 1,480,000
Computation of Sales:
Sales = Net income ÷ 26 2/3%
Sales = 640,000 ÷ 80/3%
Sales = 640,000 x 300/80
Sales = 2,400,000
Q.No.3 COSTING
XYZ Corporation manufactures a product to sell at Rs.560. Last year company sold 4,000 of these units
realizing a gross profit of 25% on the cost of sales comprises material 40%, labour 45% and remaining for
factory overhead.
During the incoming year it is expected that material and labour cost increase by 25% while the factory
overhead by 12.5%.
To meet the rising cost a new selling price is set at Rs.600 and Rs.700 per unit.
REQUIRED
(i) The units that must be sold to realize the same gross profit as last year.
(ii) The units that must be sold to realize 20% more gross profit than last year.
SOLUTION 3 (a)
Computation of Gross Profit per Unit:
Gross profit per unit = 560 x 25/125
Gross profit per unit = Rs.112 per unit
Computation of Number of Units Sold When Selling Price Rs.600 (Constant Gross Profit):
Gross profit per unit = Sales price per unit – Cost price per unit
Gross profit per unit = 600 – 551.6
Gross profit per unit = Rs.48.4
Gross profit
Number of units sold =
Gross profit per unit
448,000
Number of units sold =
48.4
Number of units sold = 9,256 units
Computation of Number of Units Sold When Selling Price Rs.700 (Constant Gross Profit):
Gross profit per unit = Sales price per unit – Cost price per unit
Gross profit per unit = 700 – 551.6
Gross profit per unit = Rs.148.4
Gross profit
Number of units sold =
Gross profit per unit
448,000
Number of units sold =
148.4
Number of units sold = 3,019 units
SOLUTION 3 (b)
Computation of Number of Units Sold When Selling Price Rs.600 (20% More Gross Profit):
20% more gross profit
Number of units sold =
Gross profit per unit
448,000 x 120%
Number of units sold =
48.4
Number of units sold = 11,107 units
Computation of Number of Units Sold When Selling Price Rs.700 (20% More Gross Profit):
20% more gross profit
Number of units sold =
Gross profit per unit
448,000 x 120%
Number of units sold =
148.4
Number of units sold = 3,622 units

Overheads can also be absorbed into cost units using the following absorption bases:
Units produced.
Machine-hour rate.
Labour-hour rate.
Percentage of prime cost.
Percentage of direct wages.
Percentage of direct material cost.
Production overheads are usually calculated at the beginning of an accounting period in order to
determine how much cost to assign a unit before calculating a selling price.
The overhead absorption rate (OAR) is calculated as follows:
Budgeted production overhead
Overhead absorption rate (OAR) = x 100
Budgeted total of absorption basis
The absorption basis is most commonly units of a product, labour hours, or machine hours.
1. Pre – Determined Factory Overhead Rate on the Basis of Direct Material Cost:
Estimated factory overhead cost
Pre – determined factory overhead rate = x 100
Material cost
2. Pre – Determined Factory Overhead Rate on the Basis of Direct Labour Cost:
Estimated factory overhead cost
Pre – determined factory overhead rate = x 100

SOLUTION 7 (b)
Spoiled Goods:
The term applied to products that are not acceptable quality and that are sold for reduced prices. Many
outlet malls sell “seconds” at prices lower than retail. Those seconds, also called irregulars, are not the
same quality as the regular product.
Scrap Goods:
The leftover materials that are not used in the production of an item. If a product requires a component
cut from a four-by-eight-foot sheet of plywood, the pieces of plywood that are cut off are the scrap.
Defective Goods:
The faulty or substandard finished goods or spoilage are called defective units. Defective goods arise
due to sub-standard materials, bad supervision, bad planning of production, poor workmanship,
inadequate equipment, careless inspection etc.
Defective units can be rectified and turned out as good unit by re-processing. Such re-processing work
may need the use of additional material, labor and expenses.
Computation of Cost of Ending Raw Material by Weighted Average Method (Periodic System):
Total cost of raw material available for use
Average per unit cost =
Units available for use
4,200
Average per unit cost =
1,100
Average per unit cost = Rs.3.82 per unit
Cost of ending raw material = Unused units x Average unit cost
