Answer 1

Ans)

Calculation of income received by special order

Sales value ( 19500 X 35) = 682500

Less: Variable costs

Direct materials (19500 X 7) = (136500)

Direct labour ( 19500 X 5) = (97500)

Manufacturing overhead (19500 X 8) = (156000)

(20 X 60% fixed = 12, 20 - 12 = 8 variable)

Sellinhg and administrative expense = ( 13730)

(77460 / 110,000 X 19500) -------------------

Net income 278770
