Selling price per unit (Rs. ) 60 55 50
Requirement per unit:
Direct Materials 5 kg 3 kg 4 kg
Direct labour 4 hours 3 hours 2 hours
Variable overheads (Rs. ) 7 13 8
Fixed overheads (Rs. ) 10 12 5
Cost of direct material per kg (Rs. ) 4 4 4
Direct labour hour rate (Rs. ) 2 2 2
Maximum possible units of sales 4,000 5,000 1,500

All the three products are produced from the same direct material using same type of machines and labours. Direct
labour, which is the key factor, is limited to 18,600 hours.

Question 2 A manufacturer with an overall capacity (inter-changeable among the products) of 1,00,000 machine
hours has been so far producing a standard mix of A, B and C as 15,000 units, 10,000 units and 10,000 units
respectively. On experience, the total expenditure exclusive of his fixed charges found to be Rs. 2,09,000 and the
variable costs ratio among the products is 1 : 1.5 : 1.75 respectively per unit. The fixed charges comes to Rs. 2.00 per
unit. When the unit selling prices are Rs. 6.25 for A, Rs. 7.50 for B and Rs. 10.50 for C, he incurs loss.
He desires to change the product mix as under:-

Best production mix
A = 35000 units B = 30000 units
Profit = Contribution – Fixed Cost = (35000 units x Rs.8 + 30000 units x Rs.2) – 100000 = 11,40,000
(2a) Total demand of product A = 40000 units
Less existing supply of A = (35000 units)
Balance demand = 5000 units

2500 units x Rs. 40 = Max. Material cost + 10000 + (2500 units x Rs. 16)
Max. material cost = Rs. 50000

Max offer price per kg = = Rs. 2.50 per kg

Solution

Concept

First of all, Learn the concept of FOB & CIF

Case 1 When Ram purchases goods from john and sells in India (Ram is Buyer)

Case 2 When Ram purchase goods in India and Sells to John (Ram is Seller)

Sequence of Expenditure incurred in foreign Sale case


Seller --- Ex Factory Cost ---Transport charges --- Custom Duty & Clearance charges --- Loading charges in Ship ---
Freight of Ship --- Insurance during transit ---- Custom Duty paid by Buyer (Import) ---- Transport charges in foreign ----
Goods in factory of Buyer
Seller shall always be responsible till goods reach port of his country.

Buyer shall always be responsible after goods reach port of buyer’s country.

Now Question Arise


“Who will be responsible for goods while in transit in ship” –This Question gave birth to FOB & CIF.
If terms are FOB it means Seller shall be responsible till goods reach port of seller’s country.

If terms are CIF it means buyer shall be responsible till goods reach port of buyer’s country.

Free on Board means seller shall be free from responsibility once goods reach port of seller country.
If terms are CIF
 Seller is responsible for any loss till goods reach port of buyer’s country.

www.purushottamaggarwal.com Call 95 8280 8296 Page 16.10


Cost & Management Accounting CA Purushottam Sir

 In case of any loss during transit, seller shall bear loss.


 Seller shall pay all exp. till port of buyer
If terms are FOB
 Seller is responsible for any loss till goods reach port of seller’s country.
 In case of loss during transit, seller shall not be responsible.
 Insurance and freight during shipment in ship shall be paid by buyer.
FOB = Free on Board = EX Factory Cost + Transportation Cost + Custom Duty + Clearance Charges + Loading
charges

CIF = Cost Insurance Freight = FOB + insurance + Freight

Landed Cost = CIF + Custom Duty (import)

In Given Question terms are CIF, it means Seller is responsible for any loss till goods reach port of buyer’s country. So
we need to calculate Landed Cost = CIF + Custom Duty (import)

30-9- X8 Shortage in stock taking 2 units

PREPARE the priced stores ledger on FIFO method and STATE how would you treat the shortage in stock taking.

Solution 3:- Working Notes:

1) The material received as replacement from vendor is treated as Fresh Supply.


2) In the absence of information the price of the material received from within on 20-9-X8 has
been taken as the price of the earlier issue made on 17-9-X8. In FIFO method physical
flow of the material is irrelevant for pricing the issues.
3) The issue of material on 26-9-X8 is made out of the material received from a user
department on 20th Sept 2008.
4) The entries for transfer of material from one job and department to other on 22-9-X8 and
29-9-X8 are book entries for adjusting the cost of respective jobs and as such they have
not been shown in the stores ledger account.
5) The material found short as a result of stock taking has been written off.

Question 16
A Factory produces two products “A” & “B” from a single process. The Joint processing costs during a particular month
are:
Direct Material Cost Rs.30,000
Direct Labour Cost Rs.9,600
Variable Overheads Rs.12,000
Fixed Overheads Rs.32,000

Sales: A – 100 units @ Rs.600 per unit; B – 120 units @ Rs.200 per unit.
Apportion Joint Costs on the basis of:
(i) Physical Quantity of each product
(ii) Contribution Margin method
(iii) Determine Profit or Loss under both the methods

Special Point - Contribution of One Product Coming Negative so how to distribute Fixed cost
Concepts
(i) Physical Quantity of each product
According to this method, The joint costs is to be distributed on the basis of weight or on the basis of quantity of
various joint products i.e. Joint cost is distributed in ratio of quantity manufactured.

(ii) Contribution Margin Method


According to this method, Contribution margin method
 Under this method, joint costs are divided into variable cost and fixed cost.
 Variable cost portion of joint cost is divided among products on the basis of physical units (Quantity / Units
Ratio)
 Fixed cost portion of joint cost is divided among products on the basis of contribution ratio.

Contribution = Sales – Total variable cost

Contribution Ratio = x 100

(iii) Determine Profit or Loss under both these methods

Solution
W. Note 1:- Calculation of Total Joint cost
DMC Rs.30,000
DLC Rs.9,600
Variable Overheads Rs.12,000
Total Variable Cost Rs.51,600
Fixed Overheads Rs.32,000
Total Joint Cost Rs.83,600

(i) Physical Quantity of each product

Share of Product A in Joint Cost = x 100 units = Rs.38,000

Share of Product B in Joint Cost = x 120 units = Rs.45,600

(ii) Contribution Margin Method

Share of Product A in Joint Cost = x 100 units = Rs.23,455

Share of Product B in Joint Cost = x 120 units = Rs.28,146

St. showing apportionment of FC


Particulars Product A Product B
Total Sales 100 units x Rs.600 = 120 units x Rs.200 =
Rs.60,000 Rs.24,000
Less Total Variable Cost (Rs.23,455) (Rs.28,146)
Total Contribution Rs.36,545 (Rs.4,146)
Total Contribution for FC Rs.36,545 Rs.Zero
Purpose
Contribution Ratio 100% 0%
Share of FC Rs.32,000 Rs. Zero

Note:- In practical life, if contribution of any product comes negative then entity should choose another method
because this method is not suitable.
But since we are supposed to solve this question, we will treat negative contribution as zero contribution.

First of all we need to understand meaning and implication of lines given in question so we can
understand each point from practical point of view
Line Given in Question Its meaning & Implication
Transport Allowance as Rs.50 per day of If employees comes to Office then he shall be
Actual Work paid Rs.50 per day. This 50 rupees shall be
paid even if it is Sunday, it is holiday. It also
means that If employee does not come on any
day in office then he shall not be paid this
Rs.50
Overtime Line (Read from Question) If worker works for more than 9 hours in a day
then he shall be eligible for overtime payment.
Overtime rate = Twice the hourly rate (Basic
salary Plus DA)
Overtime = Actual time worked – 8 hours
Working on holiday (Read From Question) Holiday Means Sunday and Public Holiday e.g.
15th August.
Overtime rate = Double per day basic Rate
Condition = Works at least 4 hours.
Above Pymt shall be added in Basic as given in
Question.
Earned Leave & Casual Leave. These are paid Company allow some leaves in year for which
leaves salary is not deducted. It means if a worker
takes CL then his salary shall not be deducted.

Out of Normal Working Days


 On 5th Date – He worked for 10 hours – It means he is eligible for Overtime Payment – He shall be
paid Overtime for 2 hours
 On 13th August – He worked for 9 hours – It means he is not eligible for Overtime Payment since
this is not more than 9 hours.
Extra Above Normal Working Days
 On 15th August – He worked for 5 hours – it means he is eligible for “Payment for working on
holiday” since he worked more than 4 hours
 On 23th August (Sunday) – he worked for 6 hours – It means he is eligible for “Payment for
working on holiday” since he worked more than 4 hours
Time Worked
Actual Worked Days 23 Days 21 days X 7.50 Hour Per Day + 10 Hour – 0.50
hour (Lunch Time) + 9 hour – 0.50 hour (Lunch
Time) = 175.50 Hours
2 Days Extra Worked 2 Days 5 hours + 6 Hours = 11 Hour (Lunch Time not

Question 26
Smile company produces two main products and a by-product out of a joint process. The ratio of
output quantities to input quantities of direct material used in the joint process remains consistent
on yearly basis. Company has employed the physical volume method to allocate joint production
costs to the main products. The net realizable value of the by- product is used to reduce the joint
production costs before the joint costs are allocated to the main products. Details of company’s
operation are given in the table below. During the month, company incurred joint production
costs of Rs. 10,00,000/- The main products are not marketable at the split off point and thus
have to be processed further.
Particulars Product-A Product-B By product
Monthly output in kg. 60,000 1,20,000 50,000
Selling price per kg. Rs. 50 Rs. 30 Rs. 5
Process costs Rs. 2,00,000 Rs. 3,00,000

Cost & Management Accounting CA Purushottam Sir

FIND OUT the amount of joint product cost that Smile company would allocate to the product-B
by using the physical volume method to allocate joint production costs?

Solution
Calculation of Net joint costs to be allocated:

Particulars Amount (Rs.)


Joint Costs 10,00,000
Less: Net Realizable value of by-product (50,000×5) 2,50,000
Net joint costs to be allocated 7,50,000

Therefore, amount of joint product cost that Smile company would allocate to the product-B by
using the physical volume method to allocate joint production costs:

= Physical quantity of Product-B x Net joint costs to be allocated


Total Quantity
= 1,20,000 units × 7,50,000 = Rs.5,00,000
1,80,000 units

Question 27

‘Buttery Butter’ is engaged in the production of Buttermilk, Butter and Ghee. It purchases
processed cream and let it through the process of churning until it separates into buttermilk and
butter. For the month of January, 2020, ‘Buttery Butter’ purchased 50 Kilolitre processed cream
@ Rs. 100 per 1000 ml. Conversion cost of Rs. 1,00,000 were incurred up-to the split off point,
where two saleable products were produced i.e. buttermilk and butter. Butter can be further
processed into Ghee.

The January, 2020 production and sales information is as follows:

Products Production (in Sales Quantity (in Selling price per


Kilolitre / tonne) Kilolitre/ tonne) Litre/Kg (Rs.)
Buttermilk 28 28 30
Butter 20 — —
Ghee 16 16 480

All 20 tonne of butter were further processed at an incremental cost of Rs. 1,20,000 to yield 16
Kilolitre of Ghee. There was no opening or closing inventories of buttermilk, butter or ghee in
January, 2020.

Required:

Cost & Management Accounting CA Purushottam Sir

(i) SHOW how joint cost would be apportioned between Buttermilk and Butter under Estimated
Net Realisable Value method.
(ii) ‘Healthy Bones’ offers to purchase 20 tonne of butter in February at Rs. 360 per kg. In case
‘Buttery Butter’ accepts this offer, no Ghee would be produced in February. SUGGEST
whether ‘Buttery Butter’ shall accept the offer affecting its operating income or further process
butter to make Ghee itself?

Solution (i) Estimated Net Realisable Value Method:

Buttermilk Amount (Rs.) ButterAmount (Rs.)

Sales Value 8,40,000 76,80,000


(Rs 30 × 28 × 1000) (Rs 480 × 16 × 1000)
Less: Post split-off cost
(Further processing cost) - (1,20,000)
Net Realisable Value 8,40,000 75,60,000
Apportionment of Joint Cost of 5,10,000 45,90,000
Rs. 51,00,000* in ratio of 1:9

* [(Rs. 100 × 50 × 1000) + Rs. 1,00,000] = Rs. 51,00,000

(ii) Incremental revenue from further processing of Butter into Ghee

Incremental revenue (Rs. 480 × 16 × 1000 - Rs. 360 × 20 × 1000) Rs.4,80,000


Less: Incremental cost of further processing of Butter into Ghee Rs. 1,20,000
Incremental operating income from further processing Rs. 3,60,000

The operating income of ‘Buttery Butter’ will be reduced By Rs. 3,60,000 in February if it sells 20
tonne of Butter to ‘Healthy Bones’, instead of further processing of Butter into Ghee for sale.
Thus, ‘Buttery Butter’ is advised not to accept the offer and further process butter to make Ghee
itself.

Question 28

NN Manufacturing company uses joint production process that produces three products at the
split off point. Joint productions costs during September were Rs. 8,40,000. Product information
for September was as follows:

Particulars Product A Product B Product C


Units produced 1,500 3,000 4,500
Units sold 2,000 6,000 7,500
Sales prices:
At the split-off Rs. 100
www.purushottamaggarwal.com Call 95 8280 8296 Page 16.32
Cost & Management Accounting CA Purushottam Sir

After further processing Rs. 150 Rs. 175 Rs. 50


Costs to process after split-off Rs. 1,50,000 Rs. 1,50,000 Rs. 1,50,000

Assume that product C is treated as a by-product and the company accounts for the by-product
at net realizable value as a reduction of joint cost. Assume also that Product B&C must be
processed further before they can be sold. FIND OUT the total cost of Product A in September if
joint cost allocation is based on net realizable values?

Solution

Product A can be sold at the split-off point, because the question says that "Products B and C
must be processed further before they can be sold." Since product A is not included in that, we
know that Product A can be sold at the split-off point. Furthermore, the cost to process Product A
after the split-off point is Rs. 150,000, whereas the additional revenue to be earned by processing
it further is only Rs.75,000 (Rs.50 increase in selling price per unit multiplied by the 1,500 units
produced during September). Therefore, Product A will not be processed further, and we use the
sales value at split-off for A for allocating the joint costs. The sales value at the split-off for A is
Rs. 100 × 1,500 units, or Rs.1,50,000.

Since Product B must be processed further, we use its net realizable value for the joint cost
allocation. The net realizable value of Product B is Rs.5,25,000 (Rs.175 selling price after further
processing × 3,000 units produced) – Rs.1,50,000 in further processing costs = Rs.3,75,000.

Product C, the by-product, must also be processed further to be sold. The net realizable value of
Product C is Rs. 75,000 (Rs. 50 sales price after further processing × 4,500 units produced – Rs.
1,50,000 in further processing costs = Rs. 75,000.

Joint production costs total Rs. 8,40,000. Since the by-product C is accounted for as a reduction
to the joint costs, the joint costs to be allocated are Rs. 7,65,000 (Rs. 8,40,000 minus the Rs.
75,000 NRV of Product C), to be allocated between Product A (sales value Rs. 1,50,000) and
Product B (net realizable value Rs. 3,75,000). So, the total on which the allocation of the joint
costs is based is Rs. 1,50,000 + Rs. 5,25,000. Product A represents 28.571% of Rs. 5,25,000).
the total 3,75,000 = (Rs. 1,50,000 ÷ Rs. 5,25,000).

Since Product A has no further processing costs, the total cost of Product A is equal to its
allocated joint costs, which are 28.571% of the net joint costs of Rs. 7,65,000, or Rs. 2,18,568.
