    Sir I meant that they have paid the 840 on 30/june/2003
    And yes sir this question is indeed a question from the kaplan text but I typed out the relevant part that asks for the accruals since I am confused in that right now

    Sir so I thought the payment is supposed to cover from february to april since it said 3 months till 30 april
    So why are we talking about may and june when the payment is only supposed to cover till april?

    Also sir in the same way if they say that a bank error cheque has been debited to Worcestor instead of another customer…would that mean that the bank has accidentally given money to Worcestor?

    Oh okay sir but when i’m doing the CBE exam..is it tested from the theory of kaplan or BPP since both textbooks seem to be very different in terms of the depth each book is covering in the syllabus

    incurred at the date of sofp..which means that the exoense should not happen after the year end of the SOFP to be considered in the cost of inventory?

    The answer for this question was in the kaplan revision kit book and yes $300,000 was the same answer for which you calculated

    Sir could you explain where you got the figures of 10 and 8 when you found 6.25 hours for each unit

    Ok so for this question we don’t consider standard time because it is budgeted and not standard right?

    Budgeted production in a factory for next period is 4,800 units. Each unit requires five labour hours to make. Labour is paid $10 per hour. Idle time represents 20% of the total labour time.
    What is the budgeted total labour cost for the next period?

    Sir I just found out that there is something called normal idle time and abnormal idle time

    Apparently for normal idle time we include the cost but for abnormal idle time it is not?

    Is this true and if so does that apply in a similar fashion for labour hours

    Sir I was talking about cashflow statements in the mcq questions where they show cash inflows and cash outflows in order to find the netcashflow

    I wasn’t talking about the financial statement

    Let’s say that the question already included depreciation and fixed overhead (rent that already was there in the business) for the costs

    Then we remove only the depreciation in order to calculate cash outflows right?

    On the otherhand for capital budgeting ( i.e is int the mtq questions)
    I know surely that the depreciation is not relevant but the rent is also not relevant right?
    We shouldn’t include it as relevant costs right?

    I understand in capital budgeting both scenarios are essentially the same thing but for some reason mtqs seem to have a different way of handling the logic compared tot he mcq version of capital budgeting and I wanted to ask why is it like that

    ok so when we pay for labour we include idle time but when we try ti figure out usage we remive idle time right?

    Im still not sure why we added the 20 because when we try to find efficiency ratios we include idle time but remove for variaces
