O/n/2013-13 MS says C. How?
since Y has a higher GPM it is better at controlling its cost of sales because the lower the cost of sales the higher your GPM would be.
and since X has a comparatively better NPM it is better than Y at controlling its expenses. :)

hope i helped :)

Information about a product is given.
Selling price per unit 110
Direct materials per unit 50
Direct labour per unit 40

Fixed costs total 50,000 and planned production is 2,000 units. Which action is necessary to break even? Decrease cost of:

A. Direct labour by 20%
B. Direct labour by 25 %
C. Direct material by 10%
D. Direct material by 20%

I really don't understand this question..but it seems so simple

(2.2*116000)=255200 that is your budgeted OAR * actual hours.
then you minus the above value from your actual total overheads that is 261000

so 261000-255200=5800

since your actual overheads were more than the budgted value there is an underabsorption of 5800 :)

Thanks man
I suck at these type of questions finally i got it :)

I think C is the answer bro
planned production is 2000 units but currently the break-even point is 2500 units (50000/20)

for breakeven to be 2000 units the contribution per unit should be $25 because 50000/2000=25

for contribution to be $25 the only method that will work is decreasing the direct materials by 10%


the other method that u could do is. apply all the MCQ options they have given and work it out.
