Case Study
Labour cost is a very important constituent of total cost of any product/services. It is very necessary to account for labour cost properly so that we may able to analyze it and control the avoidable part of labour cost.
The management objective of keeping labour cost as low as possible is achieved by balancing productivity with wages. Low wages do not necessarily mean low labour cost. Low labour cost is possible by giving substantial increase in wages against corresponding increase in productivity.
Overheads are the expenditure which cannot be conveniently traced to or identified with any particular cost unit. Such expenses are incurred for output generally and not for a particular work order e.g., wages paid to watch and ward staff, heating and lighting expenses of factory etc.
Question-1: “Fixed overhead costs are not affected in monetary terms during a given period by a change in output”. But this statement holds good provided
a. Increase in output is not substantial
b. Increase in output is substantial
c. Both (a) and (b)
d. None of the above
Question 2. Abnormal cost is the cost:
a. Cost normally incurred at a given level of output
b. Cost not normally incurred at a given level of output
c. Cost which is charged to customer
d. Cost which is included in the cost of the product
Question 3. Identify among the following a scientific and accurate method of factory overhead absorption
a. Percentage of direct material cost method
b. Percentage of direct labour cost method
c. Percentage of prime cost method
d. Machine hour rate method
Question 4. Identify among the following a scientific and accurate method of factory overhead absorption
a. Percentage of direct material cost method
b. Percentage of direct labour cost method
c. Percentage of prime cost method
d. Machine hour rate method
Question 5. Labour turnover means:
a. Turnover generated by labour
b. Rate of change in composition of labour force during a specified period
c. Either of the above
d. Both of the above
Question 6. Overhead refers to:

Case Study
Marginal costing is not a distinct method of ascertainment of cost but it is a technique which applies existing methods in a particular manner so that the relationship between profit & the volume of output can be clearly brought out. It is an accounting system where only variable cost or direct cost will be charged to the cost units. It concentrates on the controllable aspects of business by separating fixed and variable costs.
Marginal costing is not a separate costing. It is only a technique used by accountants to aid management decision. It is also called as “Direct Costing” in U.S.A. This technique of costing is also known as “Variable Costing”, “Differential Costing” or “Out-of-pocket” costing.
Management Information and Reporting System
Today’s computer age, management information system (i.e. MIS) is becoming popular in the corporate circle for giving quick information to the management. The purpose of MIS is reporting and is to provide the necessary information to managers and supervisors at various levels to help them to discharge their functions of organising, planning, control and decision making.
MIS is a scientific way of collecting; processing, storing and communicating information relating to the various activities of an organisation to the various levels of management so that management may be facilitated in discharging its functions efficiently and run the organisation in an efficient way for the betterment of all.

CASE STUDY-
Organisations, who do not wish to know how much it costs to make a product with precise accuracy, may be happy with traditional costing system. Others however fix their price on cost and need to be able to determine it with reasonable accuracy. The latter organisations have been greatly benefitted from the development of activity based costing (ABC), which is more a modern absorption costing method, and was evolved to give more accurate product costs.
Activity Based Costing is an accounting methodology that assigns costs to activities rather than products or services. This enables resources & overhead costs to be more accurately assigned to products & services that consume them. ABC is a technique which involves identification of cost with each cost driving activity and making it as the basis for apportionment of costs over different cost objects/ jobs/ products/ customersor services.
Question-1: A cost driver is:
a. An item of production overheads
b. A common cost which is shared over cost centres
c. Any cost relating to transport
d. An activity which generates costs
Question 2. A cost driver:
a. Is a force behind the overhead cost
b. Is an allocation base
c. Is a transaction that is a significant determinant of cost
d. All of the above
Question 3. In activity based costing, costs are accumulated by activity using:
a. Cost drivers
b. Cost objects
c. Cost pools
d. Cost benefit analysis
Question 4. In an activity based cost system; an activity/unit of work or task with differentiated purposes will be classified as
a. different task
b. purpose cost
c. an activity
d. an allocation cost
Question 5. Steps in ABC include:
a. Identification of activities and their respective costs
b. “Identification of cost driver of each activity and computation of an allocation rate per activity”
c. Allocation of overhead cost to products/ services based on the activities involved
d. All of the above
Question 6. The key elements of activity based budgeting are:
a. Type of activity to be performed

CASE STUDY-
Budgetary control and standard costing systems are two essential tools frequently used by business executives for the purpose of planning and control. In the case of budgetary control, the entire exercise starts with the setting up of budgets or targets and ends with the taking of an action, in case the actual figures differ with the budgetary ones.
A factory which expects to operate 7,000 hours, i.e., at 70% level of activity, furnishes details of expenses as under:
Variable expenses – INR. 1,260
Semi-variable expenses – INR. 1,200
Fixed expenses – INR. 1,800
The semi-variable expenses go up by 10% between 85% and 95% activity and by 20% above 95% activity. Construct a flexible budget for 80, 90 and 100 per cent activities.
Question-1: “A favourable budget variance is always an indication of efficient performance”. Do you agree, give reason?
a. A favourable variance indicates, saving on the part of the organization hence it indicates efficient performance of the organization.
b. “Under all situations, a favourable variance of an organization speaks about its efficient performance.”
c. “A favourable variance does not necessarily indicate efficient performance, because such a variance might have been arrived at by not carrying out the expenses mentioned in the budget.”
d. None of the above
Question 2. If a company wishes to establish a factory overhead budget system in which estimated costs can be derived directly from estimates of activity levels, it should prepare a
a. Master budget
b. Cash budget
c. Flexible budget
d. Fixed budget
Question 3.The budget control organization is usually headed by a top executive who is known as

Assignment 2
CASE STUDY-
Management of an organisation uses standard costing as a controlling tool for cost control and performance evaluation. Controlling is a principal function of management alongwith planning, directing and staffing. Every organisation sets a goal and to achieve it management of the organisation make plans, get these plans executed and monitor the work for any deviation from the plan. Please note the word deviation.
Deviation means the amount by which a single measurement differs from a fixed value such as the mean or standard (here it is used in the context of cost accounting).Deviation is measured by comparing actual figure with the standard figure.
Standard Costing is a method of costing which measures the performance or an activity by comparing actual cost with standard cost, analyse the variances (deviations) and reporting of variances for investigation and appropriate action.
