ANSWER TO QUESTION NUMBER I

THE SPECIFIC QUESTION YOUR RESPONSE

The inventory of finished goods of the concerned company 13080

as on 1st April 2020 amounted to, (in Kgs)

All supporting workings are given below for ready reference

Here Y = Rs 5.00 per kg and Z = 10000 Kgs. (Information about X is redundant in this case)

As profit computed under marginal costing system is greater than profit computed under
absorption costing system, opening inventory of finished goods (say K kgs) is more than
closing inventory of finished goods (10000 kgs – given) and such difference would arise
due to the treatment of fixed production overhead only.

Therefore, 5.00 (K – 10000) = 15400

(Rs 15400 being the difference between two given profit numbers)

Thus, K = 13080 Kgs (Answer).

ANSWER TO QUESTION NUMBER II
The circumstances under which the Production Unit of the company may consider
implementation of the new (and modified) costing system is given as under (i.e. inside
the rectangular box provided below),

The probability of existence of controllable factors is either equal to or

greater than 0.042 (Answer).

All supporting workings are given below for ready reference

Here X = Rs 200000, Y = Rs 10000 and 0.80 Y = Rs 8000

Let the probability of existence of controllable factors be “P”. Therefore, probability of existence of non
controllable factors is (1 – P).

If the new (and modified) costing system is implemented

Total Cost = 8000 * (1- P) + (10000 + 8000) * P

= 8000 – 8000 P + 18000 P
= 10000 P + 8000

Now, if the new (and modified) costing system is not implemented

There would be a possibility that the excess cost of Rs 200000 would continue to be incurred which may
be due to controllable factors.

Equating the above concepts, we get the following relationship

10000 P + 8000 = 200000 P

OR P = 0.042 Approximately (Answer).

ANSWER TO QUESTION NUMBER III
THE SPECIFIC QUESTION Your Response
The average selling price per kg of Product B may reduce to “Rs M per kg” in
order to sustain such increased sales. If it reduces to a number even lower 11.88
than “Rs M”, the proposal should ideally be rejected by the company. You are
required to compute the figure “M” (Rs per kg).

All supporting workings are given below for ready reference

Here P = Rs 6.00 Lakhs and Q = 100000 Kgs

As per the given case facts, Products A & B are joint products. Hence, an additional production of 100000
kgs of Product A would lead to simultaneous production of 200000 kgs of Product B (as well). Therefore,
in line with the case facts additional raw material requirement would be 300000 kgs of raw material Z.

Computation of Additional Cost for Such Additional Production

Raw Material Z = 300000 kgs * Rs 3 per kg = Rs 900000

Variable Processing Charges = 600000 * 3 / 9 = Rs 200000

Total Additional Cost = Rs 1100000

Additional revenue from sale of 100000 kgs of Product A @ Rs 6 per kg = Rs 600000

Additional Cost to be recovered = Rs (11 – 6) Lakhs = Rs 500000

Current Revenues from sale of Product B = (600000 * 15) = Rs 9000000

Total expected recovery from sell of all kgs of Product B = Rs 9500000

Total number of kgs of Product B = (600000 + 200000) Kgs = 800000 Kgs

Thus, minimum reduced average selling price per kg of Product B works out to,

= 9500000 / 800000 = Rs 11.88 per kg (Approximately).
