5. The total direct labour cost and the direct expenses incurred in the production of a centrifugal pump is Rs.500/- and Rs.60/- respectively. The average prime cost of the pump is calculated as Rs.800. Calculate the direct material cost (in Rs.).
a) 240
b) 402
c) 420
d) 204
View Answer
Explanation: Given,
Prime cost = Rs.800/-
= Rs.500/-
Direct expenses = Rs.60/-
Direct material cost = ?
We know that,
Prime cost or total direct cost = Direct material cost + Direct labour cost + Direct expenses
Rs.800 = DMC + Rs.500/- + Rs.60/-
DMC = 800 – 500 – 60 = Rs.240/-
6. Find the factory cost (in Rs.) of 1000 studs if the prime cost is Rs.625 and total labour cost is Rs.200. Take factory on cost as 150% of the total labour cost.
a) 925
b) 952
c) 922
d) 955
View Answer
Explanation: Given, 1000 studs
Prime cost = Rs.625
Total labour cost = Rs.200
Factory on cost = 150% of total labour cost
We know that,
Factory cost = Prime cost + Factory on cost = Rs.625 + 1.5 × 200 = 625 +300 = Rs.925
7. Find the office cost (in Rs.) of 250 bolts and nuts if the factory cost is Rs.200 and total labour cost is Rs.200. Consider office overheads as 30% of the total labour cost.
a) 602
b) 206
c) 620
d) 260
View Answer
Explanation: Given, 250 bolts and nuts
Factory cost = Rs.200
Total labour cost = Rs.200
Office overheads = 30% of total labour cost
Office cost = Factory cost + office on cost = 200 + 0.3 × 200 = Rs.260/-
8. Which of the following mathematical expression is/are not wrong?
i) Total cost = Office cost + Selling and distribution expenses
ii) Selling price = Ultimate cost + Discount
iii) Selling price = Label price – Discount
a) i only
b) i and iii only
c) i, ii and iii
d) iii only
View Answer
Explanation: Selling price is the sum of total cost and profit. The market price is the sum of the selling price and discount.
9. Which of the following mathematical expression is/are not correct?
i) Prime cost = Direct material cost + Direct labour cost + Direct expenses
ii) Factory cost = Prime cost + Factory expenses
iii) Office cost = Factory cost – Administrative expenses
a) i only
b) i and ii only
c) i, ii and iii
d) iii only
View Answer
Explanation: We know that office cost is the sum of factory cost and administrative expenses.
Mathematically,
Office cost = Factory cost + Administrative expenses
10. Which of the following is/are not examples of administrative expenses?
(i) Depreciation of office building and its equipment
(ii) Interests on loans
(iii) Auditing expenses
(iv) Advertising and publicity expenses
a) i only
