    But Sir, Due to a decrease in trade payable, the company owes less now so the amount should have been deducted to what we pay(i.e. we should have paid them less, due to less payables held now)

    Still if I take your explanation into consideration. Then how would we explain the increase in cost of inventory that has been added. If they owe more surely they paid less before.

    Still not able to comprehend Sir. Can you please help me I have an exam soon this week 🙁

    Makes sense sir, i was confused thinking standard cost of materials mean the cost we budgeted for materials. Instead, its the cost that we should pay for the materials. I hope what i wrote now is correct.

    Thank you for the help.

    By theory i mean, what is meant by ‘sharing’ a foreman’s wages with ‘this’ project.

    If part of his wages are being shared with this project for profit purposes, im assuming profits associated by going ahead with this particular project. Therefore isn’t that a cost to be considered as well before you go ahead with this project ?

    Partly making sense sir, please do forgive me for pestering you further,
    So 10% of the foreman’s salary is being shared to this project for ‘profit purposes’
    This is exactly what I’m unable to catch and therefore not understanding why we are not deducting it.

    Can you please explain the theory behind sharing a foreman’s wages with this project. And what exactly do we mean for profit purposes ?

    But sir wont that mean that if we go ahead with this project, only then we will be needing the foreman (supervisor) for the labourers involved in doing this project ? Therefore isn’t that an incremental cost as well ?

    So will it be right to say that we will only be interested in direct costs ?

    @Learning Lumarium

    If two companies are using different accounting policies (GAAP and IFRS) is comparison possible ?

    @learningluminarium – thank you so much for your advice. yes my competitor also has their standalone financials and i have used that for comparison.

    my company is a mobile telecom, and they have subsidiaries that are not all related to mobile telecom, so i decided to go with standalone.

    hope that is okay.
