Accepted Answer

Answer Solution: (a) Cost Sheet Particulars () () Material Consumed: Raw materials purchased 8,00,000 Freight inwards (2% of Raw materials purchased) 16,000 Add: Opening stock of raw materials 3,40,000 Less: Closing stock of raw materials (1,80,000) 9,76,000 Direct employee (labour) cost: Wages paid to factory workers 6,30,000 Production bonus paid to factory workers (10%) 63,000 6,93,000 Direct expenses: Job charges paid to job workers 41,000 41,000 Prime Cost 17,10,000 Works/ Factory overheads: Depreciation on factory building (21,87,000 x 10%) 2,18,700 Depreciation on plant & machinery (11,56,000 x 15%) 1,73,400 Insurance premium paid for plant & machinery (15,00,000 x 2%) 30,000 Insurance premium paid for factory building (25,00,000 x 2%) 50,000 Salary paid to supervisors 6,17,900 10,90,000 Gross factory cost 28,00,000 Add: Opening value of W-I-P 5,50,000 Less: Closing value of W-I-P (3,50,000) Factory Cost 30,00,000 Quality control cost: Expenses paid for quality control check activities 4,30,000 4,30,000 Administration cost related with production: Salary paid to Production control manager 7,20,000 7,20,000 Less: Realisable value on sale of scrap and waste (50,000) Add: Primary packing cost 3,00,000 Cost of Production 44,00,000 Add: Opening stock of finished goods (80,000 units) 8,00,000 Less: Closing stock of finished goods (70,000 units) (7,00,000) Cost of Goods Sold 45,00,000 Administrative overheads: Depreciation on office building (36,00,000 x 10%) 3,60,000 Salary paid to General Manager 12,40,000 Fee paid to independent directors 5,00,000 Selling Overheads (4,50,000 units x 2): 9,00,000 30,00,000 Cost of Sales 75,00,000 Profit (25% on cost) 18,75,000 Sales 93,75,000 Working Note: Calculation of value of closing finished goods. Number of units produced = units sold + closing stock – opening stock = 4,50,000 + 70,000 – 80,000 = 4,40,000 units Per unit cost = Cost of production Number of units produced = 44,00,000 4,40,000 units = 10 per unit COST AND MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING Value of Closing stock = 10 x 70,000 units = 7,00,000 (b) Earning under Halsey Plan Total Wages = (Time taken × Time rate) + (50% of time saved × time rate) = (6 hrs x 25) + ((9 hrs - 6 hrs) x 50% x 25) = 150 + 37.5 = 187.5 Earning under Rowan Plan Total Wages = (Time taken × Time Rate)+ ( Time saved Time allowed × Time taken × Time Rate) = (6 hrs x 25) + ( (9 hrs - 6 hrs) 9 hrs x 6 hrs x 25) = 150 + 50 = 200 Note: Rowan Plan is more beneficial for a worker since he is more earning under this plan i.e. 200-187.5 = 12.50
