Question No: 43    ( Marks: 10 )

 The managing director of Parser Limited, a small business, is considering undertaking a one-off contract. She has asked her inexperienced accountant to advise on what costs are likely to be incurred so that she can price at a profit. The following schedule has been prepared:

Costs for special order	Notes	Rs.
Direct wages	1	28,500
Supervisor costs	2	11,500
General overheads	3	4,000
Machine depreciation	4	2,300
Machine overheads	5	18,000
Materials	6	34,000
Total		98,300

Notes

v         Direct wages comprise the wages of two employees, particularly skilled in the labor process for this job. They could be transferred from another department to undertake the work on the special order. They are fully occupied in their usual department and sub-contracting staff would have to be brought in to undertake the work left behind.

v         Sub-contracting costs would be Rs. 32,000 for the period of the work. Other sub-contractors who are skilled in the special order techniques are also available to work on the special order. The costs associated with this would amount to Rs. 31,300.

v         A supervisor would have to work on the special order. The cost of Rs. 11,500 is made up of Rs. 8,000 normal payments plus a Rs. 3,500 additional bonus for working on the special order. Normal payments refer to the fixed salary of the supervisor. In addition, the supervisor would lose incentive payments in his normal work amounting to Rs. 2,500. It is not anticipated that any replacement costs relating to the supervisors' work on other jobs would arise.

v         General overheads comprise an apportionment of Rs. 3,000 plus an estimate of Rs. 1,000 incremental overheads.
