    This is a BPP MCQ.
    A manufacturer produces Product X from three input raw materials, P, Q and R. There is some loss in the process, usually about 5% of input. Results for the most recent month are as follows.

    Input
    5000kg of P, cost of $15000
    2000kg of Q, cost of $8000
    1000kg of R, cost of $8000

    Output
    7500kg of Product X

    Which one of the following performance measurements is accurate?

    A) Rate of wastage = 6.7%
    B) Average cost of input = 4.13 per kg
    C) Output: input conversion ratio = 6.25%
    D) Materials yield variance = $1938(A)

    The correct answer is B. I think this should be average cost of output.
    Help me, Sir.

    You are correct.

    Assuming you have typed the question correctly, then it seems as though it is a BPP typing error.
