Let's break down the steps to solve each of the questions:
20. Calculate the total cost of making product P.
To calculate the total cost, we need to consider all the costs involved per unit:
Direct Material Cost per Unit: Sh.100
Direct Labour Cost per Unit: Sh.130
Production Overhead Cost:
Given the production overhead absorption rate is Sh.60 per direct labour hour and each unit requires 2 direct labour hours.
So, Production Overhead Cost per Unit = 2 hours * Sh.60 = Sh.120
Total Production Cost per Unit = Direct Material Cost + Direct Labour Cost + Production Overhead Cost = Sh.100 + Sh.130 + Sh.120 = Sh.350
Selling and Administrative Overheads:
This is 10% of the Total Production Cost = 0.10 * Sh.350 = Sh.35
Therefore, the Total Cost of making product P is:
Total Cost = Total Production Cost + Selling and Administrative Overheads = Sh.350 + Sh.35 = Sh.385
Chosen Option for Question 20: A. Sh.385
21. Calculate the selling price of product P.
To calculate the selling price, we require a mark-up of 20% on the total cost:
Total Cost (from Q20): Sh.385
Mark-up = 20% of Total Cost = 0.20 * Sh.385 = Sh.77
Selling Price = Total Cost + Mark-up = Sh.385 + Sh.77 = Sh.462
Chosen Option for Question 21: D. Sh.462.00
22. A budget which is prepared in a manner so as to give the budget cost for any given level of activity is known as:
A flexible budget is specifically designed to provide budgeted costs for any level of activity, making it adaptable to various production/sales volumes.
Chosen Option for Question 22: D. flexible budget
23. Calculate the production budget for next month in units only.
To determine the production budget, we use the formula:
Production Budget = Budgeted Sales + Desired Ending Inventory − Beginning Inventory
Budgeted Sales : 20,000 units
Desired Ending Inventory : 9,000 units
Beginning Inventory : 12,000 units
Substitute the values into the formula:
Production Budget = 20 , 000 + 9 , 000 − 12 , 000 = 17 , 000 units
Chosen Option for Question 23: B. 17,000 units
The total cost of making product P is Sh.385, and the selling price is Sh.462. Additionally, the production budget for the next month is calculated to be 17,000 units. Therefore, the chosen options are A for Question 20, D for Question 21, and B for Question 23.
