I have no idea where you are finding this question. Is it from a past exam? Is it from a Revision Kit (and if so which publisher)? Have you watched my free lectures on this?

R we support to do all the questions or there is another way because i think i am lagging behind and will not be vale to cover.kindly share your opinion on this.Thanks.

I assume you mean the BPP Revision Kit because I have found the question there. For the regret table we always look at each of the uncertain items in turn (in this case the variable cost) and calculate the difference in profits between what would be the best course of action (in this case the selling price) and the other courses of action. Again, have you watched my free lectures on this where I explain the approach? As for as the Revision Kit is concerned you should attempt as many questions as possible because question practice (and getting used to the wording of questions) is absolutely vital to passing the exam.
