The following details are provided by Trupti Engineering Ltd. with respect to their product, named as Prima: Level of activity (Units) 1,000 2,000 Cost per unit (₹) Direct materials 4.00 4.00 Direct labour 3.00 3.00 Production overheads 3.50 2.50 Selling overheads 1.00 0.50 Total 11.50 10.00 You are required to compute the total fixed cost of Trupti Engineering Ltd. and also variable cost per unit of the product Prima.

Answer & Explanation:

Calculation of Fixed and Variable Costs 1. Variable Production Overhead per unit: Using High-Low Method for Production Overheads: Total Production Overhead at 2,000 units = 2,000 units * ₹ 2.50 = ₹ 5,000 Total Production Overhead at 1,000 units = 1,000 units * ₹ 3.50 = ₹ 3,500 Variable Production Overhead per unit = (₹ 5,000 - ₹ 3,500) / (2,000 - 1,000) = ₹ 1,500 / 1,000 = ₹ 1.50 per unit 2. Fixed Production Overheads: Fixed Production Overheads = Total Production Overhead at 1,000 units - (Variable Production Overhead per unit * 1,000 units) = ₹ 3,500 - (₹ 1.50 * 1,000) = ₹ 3,500 - ₹ 1,500 = ₹ 2,000 3. Fixed Selling Overheads: Total Selling Overhead at 1,000 units = 1,000 units * ₹ 1.00 = ₹ 1,000 Total Selling Overhead at 2,000 units = 2,000 units * ₹ 0.50 = ₹ 1,000 Since total selling overheads are constant at both activity levels, selling overheads are entirely fixed. Fixed Selling Overheads = ₹ 1,000 4. Total Variable Cost per unit: Direct materials = ₹ 4.00 Direct labour = ₹ 3.00 Variable Production Overheads = ₹ 1.50 Variable Selling Overheads = ₹ 0 Total Variable Cost per unit = ₹ 4.00 + ₹ 3.00 + ₹ 1.50 + ₹ 0 = ₹ 8.50 per unit 5. Total Fixed Cost: Fixed Production Overheads = ₹ 2,000 Fixed Selling Overheads = ₹ 1,000 Total Fixed Cost = ₹ 2,000 + ₹ 1,000 = ₹ 3,000
