as the selling price per unit, minus the variable cost per
unit.
Therefore, contribution margin will be 500-350 = 150

Profit=(S*N)-[F+(V*N)]
Where,
P=Profit
S=Sales value per unit
N=Number of units sold
F=Fixed costs
V=Variable cost per unit

P=(80000*30)-[2,00,000+(40000*30)]
=24,00,000-[2,00,000+12,00,000]

Q. Company X is a construction company specializing in commercial

years and has a total estimated revenue of Rs. 10 crores.
The estimated total project cost is Rs. 8 crores. During the first year of
the project, Company X incurred costs of Rs. 4 crores, completing
significant portions of the construction work. At the end of the first
year, the company wants to determine the profit recognized on the
incomplete contract using the percentage of completion method.

(1) Rs. 2 crores (2) Rs. 4 crores


(3) Rs. 8 crores (4) Rs. 5 crores
Solution (4)

𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝


Profit till date= × Estimated contract profit
𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭

Q. A company set the standard material cost per unit for a
product at Rs. 20. During a production run of 2,000 units, the
company used 40,000 units of material. The actual material
cost per unit was Rs. 19.50. Calculate the material cost
variance assuming that the total units of inputs were the
same as estimated.
(1) Rs. 10,000 (Profit)
(2) Rs. 10,000 (Loss)
(3) Rs. 20,000 (Profit)
(4) Rs. 20,000 (Loss)
Solution (3)
The standard cost estimate = 40,000 × Rs. 20 =
8,00,000
The actual cost = Rs. 19.50 × 40,000 = 7,80,000
Variance = 8,00,000 – 7,80,000 = 20,000
The variance is favourable as the actual cost is less
than the standard cost estimate.
Q. ABC Corporation reports the following
information on its balance sheet as of December 31,

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
5,00,000=2,00,000+Owner's equity
Owner’s equity = 3,00,000
Q. Variance in costing refers to the difference between the standard

process. Normally, the cost accounting method
differs from company to company, however, some
ways through which variance can be dealt with in
any one of the following ways:

(1) Transferring to costing P&L A/c


(2) Transferring to reserve A/c

and cost of sales account
Q. Process costing is a method of cost accounting used to

industries where production occurs in a continuous
flow or through a series of sequential processes.

Which of the following is NOT a type of process costing?

(1) LIFO costs


(2) FIFO costs
(3) Weighted Average Costs
(4) Standard Costs
There are three types of process costing:
(1) Weighted Average Costs – It is the simplest method as
it involves adding together all costs and assigning them
to the product.
(2) Standard Costs – Instead of assigning actual costs,
standard costs are assigned to the goods and services.
(3) FIFO costs – In the FIFO method, the costs incurred
during the current period are treated separately from
the costs carried over from the previous period. It is
much more complex in calculation than other methods.
Q. A manufacturing company produces a single
product, Product X, using a single production
process. The following information is available for
the company's production and cost data:

Total units produced: 2,000 units
Which of the following methods of costing will be
appropriate in this case?

(1) Job Costing (2) Batch Costing


(3) Process Costing (4) Unit Costing
● If a company produces a single type of product
through continuous production activity, the
appropriate method of costing will be Unit
Costing or Single-output costing.

● In this case, a company only produces a single


product, Product X, and hence unit costing
method will be appropriate.
Q. A manufacturing company produces a single
product, Product X, using a single production
process. The following information is available
for the company's production and cost data:

Total fixed costs: Rs. 50,000


Variable costs per unit: Rs. 10
Total units produced: 2,000 units

If the selling price per unit of Product X is Rs. 40,


what is the total profit earned from producing
and selling 2,000 units?

(1) 5000 (2) 10,000


(3) 12,000 (4) 15,000
Total Cost = 50,000 + 2000 × 10 = 50,000 + 20,000 = 70,000

Total Revenue from sales = 2000 × 40 = 80,000

Total Profit = 80,000 – 70,000 = 10,000


Q. The ________ is a buffer amount below
which a business will no longer remain

● The margin of safety refers to the cushion or buffer
amount below which a business's profitability is at risk.
● It signifies the level of sales or revenues above the break-
even point, ensuring that the business remains profitable.
● This financial measure is crucial for management as it helps
assess the potential risks associated with fluctuations in
sales.
● By monitoring the margin of safety, management can
proactively adjust marketing and promotional strategies to
boost sales and maintain a comfortable margin above the
break-even point.
