Q 18 : cost = purchase price + prod. cost
net realsable value = sales value - selling cost

metal : cost => 60+10 =70
NRS => 65 -11 =54

plastic : cost => 25+5 =30
NSR => 40 - 6 = 34

wood : cost => 50 + 12 = 62
NSR => 60 - 15 = 45

it is beung treated as an accrual. thus it is added ( 600+7000+480-800)=7280

esy no of shares at present 80 000 shares
right issue of (80 000 / 4) = 20 000 shares

now new total no of shares = 100 000 shares
value of these shares = 100 000 X 0.50 = $50 000

so its "A"
hope it helped

@^ go back some pages theres the link there.

@ks - no draw up a marginal costing as well as an absorption costing income statement. there u'll see that the marginal approach is to deduct FC frm contribution, but on the absorbtion costing methodology what is done is FC are allocated on a per unit basis onto the stocks, and adjustments are made for over/under absorbed at the end. so if u remove the FC allocated onto the stocks ->profits WILL decline.

plus from on 06 Q26

26 A company’s Profit and Loss Account showed a profit before interest of $128 000.

Interest paid was $8000.

The table shows amounts included in the company’s Balance Sheet.

$

fixed assets 485 000

net current assets 27 000

amounts falling due after one year: Debentures 80 000

How much is the return on the total capital employed?

A 20.3 % B 21.6 % C 23.4 % D 25.0 %

why is intrest deducted to get the numerator?? man totally opposite of ROCE help thanks
