The following data have been collected by you, as a Cost Auditor of a company:

Particulars 1999–2000 2000–2001 2001–2002
Installed capacity (lakh tones)
Production (lakh tones)
Cost/MT of the product (Rs.)
2.5
2.4
1,000
2.5
2.3
1,077
2.5
1.25
1,660

The poor capacity utilization in 2001–02 was due to abnormal power–cut. The escalation in costs were 5% in 2000–02 and 7% over 2000–01 in 2001–02.

 

(i) Calculate the abnormal cost due to power–cut
(ii)

How would you treat these abnormal costs?

please help in this sum

Based on the information available:

for 2000-2001:

Actual Cost (per / Mt) : Rs.1077/- against Production of 2.3 L/MT

Taking Base Year as 1999-2000

When, Actual Cost (per / Mt) was : Rs.1000/- against Production of 2.4 L/MT

Escalation 5% in 2000-2001 over 1999-2000 i.e., Rs.1050/- against Production of 2.4 L/MT

so, for 2.3L/MT production in 2000-2001 Cost (per/ MT) :Rs.1006/-

Diff. for 2000-2001 : Rs.1077/- minus (-) Rs.1006/- = Rs.71/-

 

for 2001-2002

Escalation 7% above 2000-2001 as base year

i.e., Rs.1006/- + 7% increase =Rs.1076/- per 2.3 L/MT production

therefore,

 

for 1.25 L/MT production cost per MT = (1076*1.25)/2.3 = Rs.585/-

Actual for 2001-2002 : Rs.1660/-

Diff : Rs.1660/--585/- =Rs.1075/-

Abnormal cost due power cut :Rs.1075/- (2001-2002) transfered to costing profit and loss for reconciliation with Financial accounts and not to product cost .
