Forums › ACCA Forums › ACCA PM Performance Management Forums › Dec 2014 exam ,relevant costing question 3
can you please explain in point no 2 the question clearly said the wanted quantity is 50 m not in square meters and the price was for square meters ,the available quantity was 20 square meters so logically the 20 square meters is enough to cover the 50 meters ,please clarify .
It was a typing error, but was very clear anyway because since the price is quoted at 8.20 per sq meter and the total cost had been included at $410, it must have been 50 sq metres that were needed. (Note 2 also makes this very clear).
Thanks John,
What I did in the exam I considered that we need only 50 m so the available quantity is enough ,so the cost is the replacement cost of 50 m by converting needed quantity into square meters,
If that were the case then it would not have been costed at $8.20 to arrive at $410.
Thanks John for clarification…but they should not make such a mistake it was a real confusion..
I agree that they should check more carefully!
