    A company,which uses marginal costing, normally manufactures 1000 units of a product in a period. the product is sold for $50 per units. costs for the 1000 units are:

    Direct material $16300
    Direct labour $9800
    Fixed overheads $21600

    How much profit will be expected if 1100 units of the product are manufactured and sold in the period?
    A) $2300
    B) $2530
    C) $4690
    D) $7300

    C) $4,690

    Selling Price = $50
    DM per unit = $16.3 ($16,300/1,000 units)
    DL per unit = $9.8 ($9,800/1,000 units)
    therefore,
    CM per unit = $23.9

    For 1,100 units,
    CM = $23.9 x 1,100 = $26,290
    Profit = CM-FOH = $26,290-$21,600 = $4,690

    @williams2
    I’m not sure why are you asking the full questions from BPP Kit when you already have the answers in there.
    We are not here to just provide you answers to whatever question you ask. Its the same as if you’re asking us to do your homework.
    Next time, please read the question carefully, try to understand the answer given in the Kit, and ask whatever is in the ANSWER that you don’t understand.

    For this question, here’s the workings:
    Total Sales = 40,000
    Cash Sales = 40,000*10% = 4,000
    Credit Sales = 36,000
    Out of these 36,000 Receivables, 40% are received in the first month and 50% in the second month. There’s a settlement discount of 4% for the receivables paid in first month.

    First month = 36000*40%*96%(less 4%) = 13,824
    2nd month = 36000*50% = 18,000

    Total Cash Receipts:
    Cash Sales = 4,000
    1st month receivables = 13,824
    2nd month receivables = 18,000
    Total = 35,824
    Therefore, the answer is A.
