    I think I know where I went wrong – didn’t read the Kappa question carefully and mixed up the input kgs and the 100kg of Omega. From the way I understand now, there is no material waste. Standard input in total is 120 kgs per unit and ‘100 kg of Omega’ is to be treated as 1 unit like it would be in any other standard question.
    Is that correct?

    Hi John, with regards to point 2 in your response, why do you compare actual results with last year instead of budget this year?

    Additional information given in the question:
    Cardio Co has recently received a request from a customer, Heart Co, to provide a one-off order of fitness machines (T,C and R) in excess of normal budgeted production for 2016. The order would need to be completed within two weeks.

    John, in the following sub-question 5:

    Which statement correctly describes the treatment of general fixed overheads when preparing the Heart Co quotation?
    Answer is: The overheads should be excluded because they are not incremental costs.

    I don’t understand why these costs are excluded when for the calculation of margin of safety (sub-question 3) these were included.

    Apologies, didn’t realise there was a separate forum.
