My view
v I hav taken P.C.tulsian book.
v Its gud bt lengthy.
v It lacks gud explanation on marginal n std costing which creates a gud base for 10 marks atleast.
v So I refered makkar sir notes. It has a gud base in marginal , std ,n also budgeting.
v Well I wil prefer rajesh makkar sir notes over this book for these chp.
v Overhead is a chp which shouldn’t b focused too much..n its methods as well.i wasted a lots of time. This chp should b done atlast.
v Cant predict the marking base bcz costing is a paper of mix question so cant make exact probability.
v Operating costing is a kinda chp frm which practical q in 2 yrs almost .
v Costing q comes in mix format so cant define wht % of every chp accurately.
