  1. Q. Labor is assumed to be a variable cost, would it appropriate to be fixed if the salary has no reference to the no. of unit produced?

  2. this is very beneficial and very easy to learn

  3. i have a question and i really need help with it.

    A particular cost is fixed in total for a period, what is the effect on cost per unit of a reduction in activity of 50%?

  4. Sir, in the last study book of BPP for F-2 there is additional division for direct/indirect costs. For instance direct costs consist of : Direct Material, Direct Labor and 3rd one Direct Expenses. As an example for Direct expenses they show:
    The hire of tools or equipment for a particular job
    Maintenance costs of tools, fixtures and so on.
    It makes things more confusing and it is almost impossible to allocate these costs to cost unit. Could you please, clarify this?

    • I am not really sure that I understand what your problem is.

      Direct expenses are those expenses that can be allocated or measured directly for a specific job or for a specific cost unit.

      If we are costing a specific job, then hire of tools etc. can be measured directly and would be regarded as direct costs.

      If we were costing units (which is more likely) then hire of tools etc. can not normally be measured for each individual unit and would be treated as indirect expenses.

      • Thank you very much!!
        It seems they just didn’t clearly explain that in such situations Specific Job is considered as cost unit. However it was written here that “Direct expenses are charged to the PRODUCT as part of the prime cost”. Is it possible to cosider the word PRODUCT as specific job?

        • Usually we are costing individual units and in that case direct expenses are those that can be measured for each unit (for example, royalties payable per unit).
          In some situations you can regard the product as being a specific job, as you write.
          It seems that the text book is a bit confusing :-)

  5. HELP!!!!

    Two budgets are given below:

    Output(units) 1,000 2,000
    Budgeted cost 2,500 3.500

    The total fixed costs estimated for the 2,000 units budget are 20% higher tha the total fixed costs for the 1.000 units budget.

    What is the budgeted variable cost/unit of output?
