MGT402 – Cost & Management Accounting
Online Quiz # 2
January 05, 2010

Total Questions: 15



Question # 1 of 15 ( Start time: 03:44:00 AM )
Which of the following is a point of differentiation between blanket rates and department rates?
Select correct option:

Blanket rate is a single overhead rate established for the entire factory

Department rates are separate overhead rates for all departments of factory through which the products pass

Department rate is a single overhead rate established for the entire factory

Blanket rates are separate overhead rates for all departments of factory through which the product passes



Question # 2 of 15 ( Start time: 03:45:19 AM ) Total Marks: 1
Production volume of 1,200 units cost incurred Rs. 10,000 and production volume of 1,400 units cost incurred Rs.20, 000. The variable cost per unit would be?
Select correct option:

Rs. 50.00 per unit

Rs. 8.33 per unit

Rs. 14.20 per unit

Rs. 100 per unit

(I got confused in this question, what I'm getting:
variable cost per unit = total variable cost/total number of units produced

one solution could be;
in producing 1200 units, total cost incurred was 10000, and
in producing 1400 units, total cost incurred was 20000

1400 - 1200 = 200 units
20000 - 10000 = 10000 cost

which means when we produced 1200 units the total cost was 10000 but when we increased production to 1400 units, the total cost increased to 20000, so the difference (20000 - 10000 = 10000) should be of variable cost
now by dividing "total variable cost by quantity" i.e, 10000/200 = 50 per unit

but the confusion is in order to get variable cost per unit, we divide total variable cost by total number of units produced, and total number of units in the above MCQ seems to be 1400. if we divide 10000/1400 = 7.14 which is not in the options
if we divide 10000/2600 = 3.84 (not there in the options)

so i guess 50 per unit might be a correct answer. but please if anyone know about this question, kindly explain it

Question # 8 of 15 ( Start time: 03:51:29 AM ) Total Marks: 1
The cost of goods sold was Rs. 240,000. Beginning and ending inventory balances were Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 30,000, respectively. What was the inventory turnover?
Select correct option:
