Explanation / Answer

PROFITIBILITY INDEX

ANSWER: C , B , A

Q 11)

NET PRESENT VALUE = PRESENT VALUE CASHINFLOW - PROJECT COST

= $ 85000 X 4 YEARS DISC FACTOR @ 10% - $ 210000

= $ 85000 X 3.1698 - $ 210000

= $ 269433 - $ 210000 =$ 59433

THEREFORE NPV = $ 59433

Q12) Budgeted Raw Materials is not needed in preparing PRODUCTION BUDGET.

FOR JANUARY

Closing Stock ( 30% of $ 120000) = 36000 units

Add: Budgeted Sale ( Given) 102000 units

Less: Opening Stock ( Given ) 30600 units

Required Production 102000 units

UNITS TO PRODUCE IN JANUARY = 102000 unit

Q14) A variance that results from expected economic conditions that do not materialize is called Economic Variance.

Q15 ) A static budget is appropriate for fixed overhead costs.

Q16) If the activity level increases 10%, total variable costs will increase by 10%.

Q17)

High April 90000 miles $ 130000

Low Feb 50000 miles $ 80000

Variable cost per miles = Change in Total Cost / Change in miles

= $ (130000 - 80000) / (90000 - 50000)

= $ 50000 / 40000 miles = $ 1.25 per mile

Fixed Cost = $ 130000 - (90000 miles X $ 1.25 per mile) = $ 17500.
